Well done, Poofy. So we’re calling RMHPH Poofy now?
That reminds me, I need to start a pole thread to decide whether or not to continue to call Galaxy Ranger “Beaver” for another month.
So many things to do…
“beloved child has many names”

forget another month. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again to anyone who’ll listen. we need to change that boy’s callsign permanently
Can Mel Brooks direct this one?
Apparently. And it seems to be spreading, like Hot Dog’s rash. :eek:

Another month? Why not forever? He’ll always have the same birthday.
aw, shucks. :o

So say we all.
“Springtime, for Cylons, on Caprica…” 
I’ll be sending you the bill for the beverage-damaged laptop
Blame me.
Thankfully I wasn’t drinking at the time. I can totally see the part of Lorenzo St. DuBois played by Baltar. BABY!!
Oh, I do. I do indeed. :rolleyes:

It’s definitely a dance number I’d love to see.
Congrats on reaching Double OG, btw.
should that be a 2G, I wonder? Beaver’s working on his 3G if he’s not already there
The gun rose silently, no sound was made but Gaeta Stopped his work at the console, and began to hum softly, the deadly silence in the CIC was enough to break most peoples nerves. “Get out Adama ordered!” To everyone
“Don’t suppose that includes me sir?” He asked smiling at Adama. As he turned around.
Adama didn’t respond just stared at him as the last of crew. Left the doors closed. Again only faint song hummed by Gaeta.
“How many?” Adama asked the gun shaking a little.
“How many what?” Gaeta answered calmly
“How many jumps have you plotted?” The arrogance left his face.
“208 sir” he responded
“208 jumps, 208 times we had to run, search for food or water so we wouldn’t starve. Or to just flee, 208 times that my people had to go further from home just to find it destroyed. But all you needed to do it once just one jump.”
“I could explain Adama” Gaeta said standing now Adama’s gun trained on his every move. “I could tell you of cycles and destiny, human destiny, cylon destiny, or that’s its all the same thing, but maybe I’ll just say; because I had to.
“This isn’t about destiny, it’s about Family, my family, our family.”
“I am sorry Adama.”
“You will be Mr. Gaeta.” The gunshot just missed to right of Gaeta’s head, but the man didn’t flinch.
“We didn’t send our children to hunt you; they weren’t whole yet, they didn’t understand.”
“You didn’t stop them either.”
“We saw what was to come Adama. We saw and sent the last of us to keep those we could safe.”
“Then you searched for our home, a world both of our kind destroyed to kill the other.”
“This could have been solved with a just one word Felix. One act of trust.” Smiling again he cocked his head slowly towards Adama’s gun.
“You were right, the cost of wearing the uniform can be high sir.”
“What?” Adama asked the gun again shaking in his hand as gaeta continued
“You know when we fought the cylons, we did it to save ourselves from extinction.
But we never answered the question why? why are we as a people worth saving. We still commit murder, because of greed spite Jealousy. And we still visit all of our sins upon our children.”
“And sooner or later the day comes when you can’t hide from the things that you’ve done anymore…” Adama finished and shot him in his stomach.
Gaeta falling to the floor, trying to pull himself up in agony, and falling down again. Adama turned to leave.
“Wait” Gaeta begged softly; “please don’t go.”
“You were already dead, its not because your cylon, its because you betrayed me, you betrayed all of us.”
He walked away heading for the door but stopped. He heard the pained singing from the room. And he couldn’t go forward just stood there waiting for something. Looking over his shoulder He saw the last of Felix’s strength leave his body and fell limp to the ground, each breath seemed more and more shallow. “ May your god, forgive you.” Adama said. Gaeta slowly lifted his hand towards Adama. As Gaeta’s eye’s shut his hand fell to the floor.
Adama grabbing it gently his hand Gaeta’s eyes barely able to open. Adama staring at him“ I did what I had to" Felix repeated. "I didn’t want to… “
”It’s okay now son” he said,
“Cost of wearing the uniform” Felix said with a soft laugh
“That’s all past.” But Gaeta never heard the words his hand falling away from Adama. Adama got up slowly walking to the door his uniform covered in blood the officers in shocked silence standing in the hall to either side of him, no one muttering a word. “ Take Lieutenant Gaeta’s body to the morgue tell doc coddle to prepare him for a military funeral…. There was quick nod but no sound was made. As Adama walked away,
“Why should we even bother the thing was a traitor. “
“Because we have to be worthy of surviving Adama said to answer but too softly to be heard by anyone but himself.
Thanx Nickname Boomer.
That definitely has the ‘Hamlet’ feel and ending we can look forward to. I think these characters are going to crack. Every turn things go from bad to worse. With the revelation of Tigh and Laura’s death on the horizon, things do not bode well for our favorite Admiral. Everyone in CIC should wear armour.
Me too. Yuk—coffee on my screen, coffee on my keyboard, coffee on me…what a mess!
Here’s got 2 Gs living in the apartment above him I believe and he’s still “working” on them --IYKWIM!
It takes away some of the fun of posting the IYKWIM insertion when you already call it a pole!
Which I will agree to if at least 3 people “aye” the change and not more than 5 “nay” it. The real question is if you can put up the poll all by yourself or will need outside help. IYKWIM!
This is the final cylon!!!
I can work with that. I’ll have to whip out my copy of ‘Clan of the Cave Bear’ to refresh on writing non-dialogue.
The scent of the humans was offensive. They did not decorate themselves either, which was vile. Alpha Alpaca knew a time would come when humanity would desecrate their world. Steps would need to be taken to avoid such a tragedy.
LMAO!!! Thats sooo what I had in mind…
I think Lady D and I each have only put up a poll once. So we are pratically pole virgins —IYKWIM
Problem is I’m trying desprately not to get too distracted by GWC today so I can get my work down and head of on vacation on Friday.
Excuse me, while Frakkintalos whips it out…eeh, that was TOO easy.
I feel like a poll whore by comparison. IYKWIM!

So how’s that not getting distracted working out for you? 
Not well. :eek:Although I do have a pretty juicy rationalization going for me.
My frakin computer is so slow—cutting edge 2003 technology—that I often have to wait while large MS Word files open, etc. So I spend the time in between he in the forum.
