WARNING: I read the article and it seems to be in some crazy moon language.

He should be cockpunched for basing it on Voyager.

Maybe that she's vindictive enough to trash thousands of dollars in decoration as practically part of the divorce proceedings has something to do with the divorce situation in the first place. Just sayin'...

Too bad voyager isn't really Star Trek.

Is this the same guy with the A-Wing car?

If the numbers in the article are accurate, he started the conversion 5-7 years after the divorce in a property that his wife owned and was paying for. Idiot boy knew this was coming one day, so I don't have any sympathy.

Shoulda' based it on the Millennium Falcon.

That's why you shoot Greedo first.

She's been paying the mortgage on the property since the spilt in 1994, and now wants to sell the apartment, I don't think she's doing anything wrong here. She's not vindictive, she just wants to sell their joint property (she's been paying for) and move on

As he looked over Greedo's body, Han suddenly realized that when Greedo said "Chespo kutata kreesta krenko, nyakoska" he really meant, "I love you."

I noticed that too. Couldn't he just buy it from her rather than cry about it to a reporter?

I get that, but she could make a pretty penny by hocking that stuff on Ebay. Tossing it in the trash is a purely symbolic gesture.

I can't conceive how hot the geek sex would be on that bridge.

My question is, why the HELL was she still paying for it!

Payments should have stopped after she left, screw it! He can pay it if he is living there.

He said he would have to toss it. I would guess she doesn't care as long as it's not in the apartment any more, and we never hear her side so who knows.

Star Trek theme and the neighbors grow pot! WANT!
 
2012-01-24 11:52:30 AM
I wouldn't mind building something similar into a media/theater room. I've seen a few others tailored of bridge designs that are actually pretty cool, but still functional for their intended use. Most of the science and ops stations would have to be converted to a Trek themes bar though.

Converting your entire condo? Thats a little bit far.

Unless it takes 12 parsecs for the divorce to be finalized.

"To say I'm gutted is an understatement"

Not as gutted as your apartment's going to be.

I met this hot drunk chick at a bar in college one night, her name was Geordi, I repeated "Geordi?" and she said, yes. I didn't get her home, her friends were quite persistent on getting her home with them, which was fine. I just wanted to talk dirty to her while sexxing her. Geordi, I need warp factor 10! Geordi, there's a core breach in engineering! Geordi, fix the dylithium crystals!
/like i said, she was drunk, she wouldn't have known what the hell was going on.

LMAO Yea right why do you think that she is divorcing him... can't make a good decision either.

Just stay away from the consoles. The EPS relays have been known to blow when subjected to a gentle jostling and plasma burns ain't fun.

Having an ex-wife paying for your place for your place for 18 years seems like a pretty sweet deal, actually.

She's doing something wrong, but it ain't dismantling her ex-husbands sex room.

ippolit: WARNING: I read the article and it seems to be in some crazy moon language.

This is what happens when you let a European be captain on the flagship. One minute it's warp-cores and nacelles; the next it's fortnight, answerphone, pear-shaped, loo, one-off, nonce, stroppy, mithered, jacket spud, crisps...

As someone who wants to build a 1:1 replica of Serenity, I feel for the guy. That being said he has gone on about this in a profoundly stupid way.

Agreed, but what about this guy suggests he has anything approaching a firm grip on reality? :P

/not all links work, but the comments are fun and provide additional links


Thanks, I was pretty sure this was more followup tag but I wasn't positive it was the same guy.

stupid chav should've gotten a proper job and paid for his own flat instead of mooching off his wife and wasting his dole money on decorating.
