The two part episode "The Menagerie" were episodes 11 and 12 from the first season and recycled footage from the pilot and allowed them to turn out enough episodes in the short time they were given, due to only needing to shoot limited additional content to fill the time.

I'm sure plenty of Trekkies and Trekkers have already set upon you, @olbermann.bsky.social, but why not one more?

Referring to an ailing Trump as "Captain Pike from the Pilot of Star Trek" is treknically incorrect.

This is what he looked like in the pilot. He's the one on the left.

And voici!

One day later, and I'm in the Old Age Gamers Club, and I've got my little shield flair in the game now.

It cracks me up that 40 years later, I've still got a hobby working around Microsoft's machinations.

Old Age Hackers FTW.

Undeterred, I figured out that it was in fall of 2020 that MS removed the functionality from the apps and made clubs an "XBOX exclusive" feature.

So I tracked down version 2006-0624-0047 from July of 2020, fired up an Android emulator, logged in with my MS credentials, and...

I was getting envious of some of the flair that Forza Horizon 5 players were sporting online.

I've got the VIP crown, which wasn't an achievement, and I've got a few different badges earned that I can opt from, but there was a shield that some folks had that I couldn't get.

This one took a bit of upgrade tuning to the Reliant and a handful of attempts to achieve.

No wonder only .72% of gamers accomplish this.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to land an airborne three wheeler launched from sandy dirt hills without ending up turtled or worse?

From a Man in the Streets compilation of 100 years ago.

"In my opinion, he's the south end of a northbound horse."

Now there's an expression that needs reviving!

Q. How is it that I've never seen The Man in the Glass Booth (1975) until now?

A. It was part of the American Film Theatre series, an experiment in marketing films (based on plays) that would not otherwise have been able to get financing...

Bugs Bunny's Looney Christmas Tales 1979

Totally missed it when I was a kid, like so many well placed cartoon jokes.

Porky can't quite get the "don we now" verse finished, so Bugs has their resident Southerner, Foghorn Leghorn fill in, but he belts out "our GRAY apparel." TWICE

Meant to do this earlier in the week. I'm sure many people beat me to first post.

Nevertheless...

Backyard of the Mad Dog in the Fog 20+ years ago; the bartender, a big tattooed Scotsman who took breaks from bartending to tour with @qotsa-official.bsky.social, heard his little brother say "conversate."

Pinned against a wall, he told him he'd beat the shit out of him if he ever heard it again.

Did I just spend half a year trying to get an almost 10 year old delisted game working on my modern PC?

For a chance to escape to Australia?

Worth all the hours of troubleshooting and cleverman work!

Now if you'll excuse me, it's Forza Horizon 3 time!
