Now you've gone and done it! You mentioned him. Why did you do that? Now someone will feel inclined to discuss him. Thanks, Bub.dANdeLION wrote:Wil Wheaton.TOM C wrote:It all came across pretty well.

You reminded me of the debate Data had with Pulaski. She refered to him as Data instead of Day-ta. Supposedly she felt some need to treat him like a talking toaster and he felt the need to correct her. When she asked "What's the difference?" he said "One is my name the other is not."dlbpharmd wrote:I hated Pulaski - she was always so prejudiced against Data.
