Another STF Veteran Returns for Quality Time

You can read the interview and full story in Aye on the WeBB, but we'd feel quite lonely without the opportunity to bring you this very interesting piece of news.
Jim "Thunderball" Midyette, the greatest Praetor in the history of STF, returned to his new stomping grounds (the WeBB wasn't his old ones) to see the sights.  Keep in mind that we don't know all the details, but read the interview which also includes Genesun "Traitor!" Han.  By the way, did we mention we got the Genesun Han interview first?  Yeah, like it matters.

Real Pre-Election Results, We Promise

Certain members of STF were stricken by our pre-election ballot in WeBBSights 17, and truly believed that some of the elderly mentioned would run.  Fortunately, that was a joke.  At the behest (request?) of AFComm-2 Mark "Not-so-long and Schubert" Longanbach, we publish a list of some real people who will participate in February's elections for the Office of the Cheddar.
 

PDIR GREG "PIRCH" HERTZSCH
Hertzsch served as Praetorean two terms ago, and it was during his reign of terror that the WeBB began to flourish.  In the election where he was ousted in favor of current Prez Mike "Call me Skippy" Bourdaa, SNNHN chose Hertzsch.  This means don't listen to us, ever.  Then again, do you anyway?

AFCOMM-6 SEAMUS "SUES" HUGHES
We're still trying to figure this one out, and oddly enough it true that the Trinitron CO is running for the Key.  He's never served in any political position before (does publisher of Aye on the WeBB count?), and it's doubtful that he could bring anything but massive boot purchases to the Prezidency.

AFCOMM-2 MARK "MINISCULE-AND-BRAHMS" LONGANBACH
Deep from the depths of Fleet 2 comes the now-official AFComm, Mr. Longanbach himself.  Under his rule, STF will operate three days out of every week and Mike Ballway will become the Veep (augh!).  We were kidding about the Ballway part, though.  But we're not sure if he plans on making every ship a Daily Ship.

VEEP RANDY "McCULLIGAN MAN" McCULLICK
Like Our Man Hertzsch, this President-wannabe is a former Rastifier himself.  Also like the aforementioned PDir, McCullick holds some sway in STF politics.  We're not quite sure what his dynasty was like, but if you ask some older members (Franco Torres?  Not that old!) we're sure you'll find out why you shouldn't vote him (Randy) in.


Now that you've got the biased results, we're sure you can make an uniformed decision on Election Day.  Of course, it is three months away, so we're sure there will be some more election coverage by then.
By the way, if we forgot to mention you in this, the Election Preview, keep your comments to yourself!  We've got enough feet in our mouth already!

STF-WeBB Emulates Its Slower, Dumpier Cousin

All has been unusually quiet on the STF-WeBB front for the past two weeks.  It could be the oncoming holidays, the real-life scenarios (if you're on Titania, though, you have no real life), or it could be the conspiracy floating around.  A conspiracy, no doubt perpetrated by the now-defunct Jeff "Wrigley" Field.  If you should see this ex-Brain, report his presence immediately to Ensign Bob the Blob on USS Constellation.

Seamus "He's Salaried Now" Hughes Gets the Job Done

When he's done "Aye" and finished posting, he moves onto completely irrelevant things.  That's why, on 29 November, a homepage [members.tripod.com/ayewebb/homepages.html] list for all the fleets went up.  Mr. Hughes says his next task is getting to the Articles of Organization, although he claims not to be that bored quite yet.

He's Mean, He's Green, He's Serene

He's Nathan "Hale" Miller, FComm-5 and Titania CO.  Mr. Miller is also the captain of the STF bowling team, adding insult to injury (they were beaten by the Tiny Toons team.  WeBBers, ask veterans what the joke means).  Thus hence, Mr. Miller is paid to tell us what we want to hear, including his choice of sterile undergarment.


1. What is the quickest way to get from point A to point B?
Maximum warp.  Engage.  But I'd rather walk.

2. Can I use your bathroom?
I don't know.  Can you?  Go ahead, if the cats watching don't bother you.

3. Admit it.  The Daily Ship is for people with no life.
I admit it.  We are all undead, servants of Lord Wyers.

4. If you could be any kind of waterfowl, what would you be?
 A duck-billed platypus.  I don't care if it isn't a waterfowl, it's pretty darn cool.

5. Truth or dare?
 Hmmm... truth.  I'm a man of words.

6. What is your deepest, darkest secret?  Go on, we won't tell.
 *leans closer*  I'm wearing He-Man underwear.

7. In a no-holds-barred cage match, who would win: Jack Palance or Anthony Quinn?
 Jack Palance.  Ever watch "City Slickers"?

8. "Some say the world will end in fire / Some say in ice" -- what do you say?
 Someone is going to test a new rocket fuel, and the entire universe will end.   Either that, or a God is going to realize we make a pretty good bowling ball.

9. Let's say Prince and Madonna mated.  What would the resulting offspring be like?
 God, what a thought.  Probably Michael Jackson.

10. Who is your favorite Super Friend and why?
 The Wonder Twins.  "Power of a gerbil!"

New IDir Wanted

One that is kind, dependable, and has a nice moustache.  This IDir should have extensive knowledge of the inner-workings of the WeBB and should also have SOP status in the #star-fleet IRC chat room.  Report immediately to Veep Randy "DioxyREMbonucleic Acid" McCullick for review and toleration tests.

There and Back Again

There's definitely a reason why we forget to do an interview with FComm-5 and Titania CO Nathan "Baguettes" Miller.  It's either due to our own forgetfulness or the aforementioned Fieldian conspiracy.  We've got the lab boys working overtime on this one.
And another thing -- why do we refer to ourselves in the first person plural when we know that there's only one of us?
There's a Journalistic Motto around here somewhere...oh, yes, here it is!  "Quick, Informative, Totally Biased Reporting" of STF Events, or something to that end.
Look!  Nathan Miller's interview!  See, we got it within two or three issues of when it was promised.  Tambien, look for some new columnists in the next issue, and if there aren't any, then don't look.
