I know most people loathe Pulaski, but I feel that, in 2026, she deserves a reappraisal
Captain Picard: Dr Pulaski, I can't stop singing "What's New Pussycat?" Dr Pulaski: That sounds like Tom Jones syndrome P: Tom Jones syndrome? Is it common? Dr: It's not unusual P: Last frame shows Enterprise leaving orbit, announcing "Executive Producer: Gene Roddenberry"

I'm still trying to beat the bug I caught on my last road trip, but I'm so happy to be in the sun, in my brand new studio. My dogs and cats are with me, and music fills the air.

More soon, I promise.

Behold the beautiful Ohio forest cow in its natural habitat: a well maintained lawn
A chonky piebald deer. She looks as if someone dry brushed a white band around her middle, the. dipped her dainty hooves in white paint. She stands placidly on a well maintained lawn lightly scattered with autumn leaves

There is exactly one (1) feminist landlady:
A middle aged Chinese woman in curlers, a cigarette hanging from the side of her mouth. She is still in her white nightgown and she does NOT look happy about it. This is a still from the movie "Kung Fu Hustle"

"Yes indeed, Percy, except that it's not really a nugget, but more of a splat."
Black Adder, Lord Percy Percy and Baldrick state wonderingly at what Percy is holding in his outstretched hand. In chartreuse Olde English lettering, it says, "Can it be true? That I hold here, in my mortal hand, a nugget of purest green?"
