Taking family dog Sadie’s dirty, hairy, muddy water bowl, cleaning it out, filling it back up to the top with crystal-clear water, and hearing her go to town on it was a very satisfying part of my childhood.
Congratulations narrowly escaping being employed by Best Buy.
Put salt in the water before boiling.
Like, a teaspoon’s worth.
Rosemary Harris was 75 when she appeared in the first Spider-Man in 2002.
Marissa Tomei is 62 in Brand New Day (just 13 years younger).
They promoted him to assistant manager.
Best Japanese Emperor ever.
Gave up his godhood and future for the sake of his people, and as a result got to keep his position as Emperor despite an unconditional surrender to the US.
It was the first time the Emperor spoke to the people of Japan directly.
He was the first Japanese Emperor to set foot on US soil.
And he died peacefully of old age while in office.
I wish more people would be like Emperor Hirohito.
General Heuristics cracks the whip.
Ordered a Dyson Sphere, much smaller than I expected.
Two stupid people. One slightly less stupid than the other.
The random Canadian digs at the US through dialog spoken by members of the US military is one of the best parts of this show.

"This body please me. I intend to keep it." - Thalassa
The Enterprise chases an unusually-powerful distress signal into an unexplored star system. The source of the signal is found to be a planet that used to be similar to Earth, but is now long dead. Suddenly, in the proximity of the planet, a benevolent voice fills the ship and invites them to the surface. There, there find an orb with the consciousness of an ancient alien named Sargon (James Doohan) who's race existed long before all others, and whom very likely seeded Earth to create the first humans. Those few of them who remain wish to return to physical bodies and ask Captain Kirk, Commander Spock, and Lieutenant Mulhall (Diana Muldaur) to allow them to become temporary possessed with their life force so that they may construct new bodies and live amongst caporal beings once again.

"Very groovy." - Roberta Lincoln
The Enterprise uses the slingshot maneuver to travel back to 1968 to conduct observations of Earth during the 20th century. An incredible power surge hits the ship and a 20th century-looking man and a house cat appears on the transporter pad. He introduces himself as Gary Seven and, even though he came from an impossible distance away from the ship, he claims to be human and from the year 1968. Once Gary realizes that Kirk and his ship are from a different time period, he demands to be returned for fear of altering the timeline. Unsure of what to believe, and because Gary tries to overpower them, Kirk places Gary in the Brig while he tries to verify his story. Almost immediately Gary escapes with the help of a futuristic device and continues down to Earth. Kirk has no choice but to pursue Gary Seven down to Earth to stop him from doing whatever it is he intends to do.
