Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
This one has a whole lot of dust on it.
I was looking for something else. Specifically, I had heard or seen somewhere that Bo’s parents were in the same accident as Luke’s parents and they were in the same accident as Daisy’s parents and they were in the same accident as Coy and Vance’s parents…I figure it had to be a flatbed truck on a bridge that got washed out. In fact Jesse was supposed to be the eleventh one and he got his directions mixed up or got a case of measles or something.
I can’t remember where I saw this. Or if I read it somewhere. Or if I simply arrived at it by process of elimination (all the particulars, together, don’t really allow for anything else).
Anyway. I didn’t find the legend of the Duke tragedy at the river-bridge washout. But I did find this. It’s a decent list.

I really liked that Worf made the list. He’s always been my favorite character in the entire Star Trek universe, with the possibility of falling in behind only Captain Kirk. He always was big on “honor” and doing what was right, even when other Klingons didn’t seem to care much about it.
Seeing his character mentioned here did take me back to those NextGen episodes where he had Alexander aboard the Enterprise with him, and that one in particular where Deanna Troi’s mother was also aboard and was putting all these silly ideas into Alexander’s head. And how the little brat “promised” the elder Ms Troi that he’d be at the mud bath at a certain time, and tried to guilt his dad into letting him skip out on dinner by saying, “But I thought a Klingon always kept his promises.” I thought Worf handled that situation pretty well, but he should have busted that kid for trying to trick him like that.
One thing didn’t make a whole lot of sense about the Worf-Alexander relationship, though. In another episode, an adult version of Alexander comes back through time from the future, to try and get the young version of himself to listen to Worf. Yet in Deep Space Nine, a teenage version of Alexander makes a guest appearance on the show with Worf, and seems to have no understanding or appreciation for his father’s efforts at all. In fact, he seems to hate his dad. What brought Alexander back around in his adult years and inspired him to travel backward in time to his own childhood?
