Eric: 'Am I to infer from your post that you are optimistic about the future of ATHM and generally pleased with its performance today? Can't tell for sure.' Solid: 'Yo, Moma, F'N A! But lest this apparent 'irrational exuberance' be misconstrued for immature ignorance of the dynamics inherent within the multi-strataed realities of this insatiably fast paced and vasoelastic, demotechnagogic market, let me say... what? Hmmm...,ahhh...let me see... Oh, ya, I firmly believe that ATHM has logged some time in the dog house and its part owners and its potential fans are looking this pup over again and seeing that it really is a cute little guy. Big huge paws, a great coat, knowing eyes that belie keen intelligence and an aptitude for learning. And what a neat cable it has for a run! Irascible, like my Labrador retriever. Eric: 'You should try being a little less subtle.' Solid: 'Been there, done that.' You're a good man Eric. Here is a bedtime story: Somewhere in the galaxy those ever vigilant mercinaries of evil and trechary, the 'cling-ons' are hard at work attempting to lay waste and havoc upon the 'enterprise' of good capitalists. True to form, the long suffering visionaries of physical destiny confront these forces and rise to meet the challenge and find their true grit. Somewhere from deep within the ship, after many direct hits, sheilds drained, hope ebbing, smoke fills the scene. Electrical arching, coughing and muffled groans fill the air. Utter chaos seems to beckon...from the bridge a lone voice, a clear voice speaks... Kirk: 'Scottie! It's now or never. We need more power!' Scottie: 'Captain, I'm given'er all I can. If I push her any harder the dilitium crystals just might not hold her.' Kirk: 'Scottie, just get it done, it's what you do, do it.' Scottie: 'Eye Captain.' Bones: 'Jim! For God sakes man. What are you trying to do?' Kirk: 'My job Bones. Just my job.' Sometime later, off camera, holding a rather large stogie a voice softly rings out in understaded confidence... Spock: 'Hold long and prosper.' Cut, print. that's a keeper people.
