    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAA! Oh man, I haven’t laughed so hard in years. I just spat my tea all over the monitor, my pants split, and Neva ran out of the room.

    Re: working replica Enterprise. I hope it doesn’t go the way of one man’s dream of building a working AT-AT. Maybe he can build two for the price of one with a Vegas version. 😉

      That pendejo had better stay away from ComicCon or any other Sci-Fi convention, or his ass will be obliterated by the wrath of thousands of raging Trekkies. I’ve never wanted to visit Vegas, but I would have definitely made an exception with the Enterprise >:( 

      And re. Radford, I love it how he likes to shoot fish in a barrel with the easy & lame ‘UFO’ news that keep popping once in a while every year, but at the same time forgetting to add crucial info about the REALLY important cases.

      Like the Hill case, that he briefly mentioned while forgetting to add the Hills contacted blue Book immediately after their experience, and they were on the phone with Major Paul W. Henderson who questioned both extenseviley. Did Radford bother to mention the Blue Book file? Oh no, that wouldn’t have left enough room to talk about the giant mother ships observed near the sun now would it? ¬_¬
