He was a farm boy, so a friend stuck a bit of hay in one of his boots and a bit of straw in the other. The story was called "Hay-foot, Straw-foot."

I, Mudd: Harry Mudd, now ruler of a planet of androids, captures the Enterprise and attempts to imprison Kirk for revenge. Not quite. The androids are keeping him prisoner and he wants Kirk and his crew to take his place.

"You good for nothing, thing, thing...", Android shuts down. And at the end (spoiler alert from 48 years ago): "Stella, shut up!" She keeps yammering, then is joined by another. And another. And another. Harry notices that one of them has the number 500 on her neck and begs Kirk for mercy.

In 2003, when France opposed going to war in Iraq, the U.S. took the next logical step: its House of Representatives' cafeterias stopped serving French fries. They served "freedom fries" instead.

TL It was a lot longer than 11 hours between when I last posted in that thread (or any other) and when I came back and read this thread. I have Lode Runner for Windows, a really fancy version with like 20 or more levels. Gave myself good hand and wrist cramps over it.
