So that's what all those trips to the 21st century were all about. The authentic whips and leather outfits were a good distraction.

I like that plan. Whiskey can help with the deep thinking. Assuming @cousinnudaq.bsky.social hasn't gotten in there before us.

Maybe we should follow @entspockhere.bsky.social example and meditate on this conundrum

Has Deanna been asking questions about what you do in the holodeck again?

Chief you know the Coach can't resist giving you a nuggie. It's probably because your hair is so soft on his knuckles.

Maybe @annoyedobrien.bsky.social can finally come to an agreement with the replicators

Was the message sent by a W Tanner right after dinner? Who would think you have anything in common with a pig?

Maybe Geordi is still pissed about what you did to the Enterprise-E

I hope there are some FAMILY sized packs of chips

I'm disappointed that the main event doesn't involve Alf vs the contents of the fridge. Or is that extra?

David Ryan @ryangenealogy.bsky.social · 1d

In principle I agree with your idea about forming a choir on the station. I just wonder if @annoyedobrien.bsky.social would consider letting someone else be conductor. All that movement is not good for his shoulder.

Having all the nerds in one place saves Coach time whenever he needs to shove one of them in a locker as per his duties as coach.

Was he raiding the castle kitchens?

Looking through the latest DNA update from Ancestry. Certainly a bit more precision. The Galtees are now included which makes a lot of sense for me. The Donegal likely comes from my O'Donnell ancestry. The 1% France is a bit of a puzzle. Some latent Anglo-Norman ancestry maybe? #Genealogy #DNA

That is a very profound statement Chief. I think even the Vulcans would need to take the time to ponder that.

David Ryan @ryangenealogy.bsky.social · 2d

Can we also request some Tayto while you're at it? Unfortunately the original flavour was lost during Irish Reunification but hopefully the replicators can get close enough

So for once the replicators are working? Good going Chief. I'll never doubt you again. I'm not sure about these tubeworm and gagh flavoured chips though. The flavours just don't seem to work together.

Does Willie pretend you're his emotional support dog?

David Ryan @ryangenealogy.bsky.social · 2d

How is that new job as a car salesman going?

David Ryan @ryangenealogy.bsky.social · 2d

Funny how that keeps happening. But it's ultimately Willie's fault for not keeping his credit card hidden.

David Ryan @ryangenealogy.bsky.social · 2d

@annoyedobrien.bsky.social should try that the next time one of his ensigns gets blown up or sucked into space. Those hoomans are too soft.

David Ryan @ryangenealogy.bsky.social · 3d

It's good you didn't hit your head any more times or you might have started blurting out all those repressed innermost feelings live on air. How funny would that be?

If they don't have health insurance they won't get sick so often or need sick days. Surely that will boost productivity.

I notice also that reporters have to repeat their questions. Is his hearing going as well or is it just him not understanding legal terms?
