Speak Stiltedly and Wear a Yellow Shirt

Yes, Krako, the Federation is just a protection racket.

Here’s an unrelated but classic episode lolcat…

[Update:] Here’s another funny Trek Day article: A Conservative Trek. The dialogue is great:

LOLthulhu combines cat macros and Cthulhu into, as the master would put it, “the slippery blasphemies that wriggled out of rifts in ocean’s floor.” I love the subtitle: CTHULHU FHTAGN CHEEZBURGER.

Avast me hearties! ‘Tis International Talk Like A Pirate Day once again. If ye need help, here’s a handy English-to-Pirate translator that e’en does web pages (includin’ this entry).

Cthulhu of the day: My Little Cthulhu, with victims! There’s also an angry version.

Switchback suggests that someone has put a hex on the T, based on a bunch of late-August squishings and September getting off to a good start with two accidents on the Green line and one bus crash.

I’d say the squishings are typical for the season—this is your last chance to get out there and walk on the tracks in shirtsleeves (bonus points if there’s a third rail), and Massholes of both the pedestrian and vehicular persuasion are always getting in the way of the trolley. Eventually the survivors learn to keep off the tracks.

Think of the T as a Darwinian counterbalance to mandatory health insurance in Massachusetts.
