Giving fucking thanks

[sharpestscalpel]

Yesterday was goddamn Thanksgiving. I always fucking forget about it with the whole fucking stardate thing instead of regular calendars. Goddamn fucking 'Fleet messing up a perfectly adequate method of keeping shitting track of the time of year.

Any goddamn way.

Fucking Thanksgiving.

Replicated turkey is bullshit so I don't fucking eat it. But I had a little something left over from the last away mission that I cooked up over a flame in the lab. BBQ. Nothing fucking like it even if it ain't goddamn fucking traditional.

Mama always did make us count our fucking blessings. So I guess this year I'm goddamn thankful for the following shit-sucking items:

Fucking space, man
The parathyroid glands
These shit-kicking boots what got me out of fucking trouble at that one base
The old family place back in Georgia
The amygdala
Pointy ears
The fucking ship learning a new goddamn song because the other one was getting fucking old
Lube
Hot sauce and scrambled eggs
Romulan porn
The fucking surrealists
Post-goddamn-modernism
Edith Quimby, PhD
Franz Stangl
Crepes
Maker's Mark
Jazz from the old-Earth 1920s

I could fucking go on but this kind of sappy bullshit is making me want to puke.

Pointy ears

Agreed.

Hey, Babylights!

I should add goddamn ocelots to my fucking list. Those big eyes get me every fucking time.

[original-fine.livejournal.com]

You're a fascinating man, Doctor.

[sharpestscalpel.livejournal.com]

I've got fucking layers, Golden Boy, I tell you goddamn what.

[original-fine.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm well aware of that, Scruffy.

[gold-ambition.livejournal.com]

Well, hi. I don't think we've met. I'm also thankful for... um. Jazz.

[sharpestscalpel.livejournal.com]

You...

Who the fuck're you? You look like Golden Boy up there but that's a mighty goddamn familiar uniform even if it is all faggy and sparkly.

You a fan of Race Records?

[gold-ambition.livejournal.com]

Oh, and where'd that haircut come from, Mr. Macho? A real man can sparkle without it being a slight on his manhood. I suppose you think cocksucking is gay.

I'm not Golden Boy. Believe me.

And yeah, I've been known to listen to a few.

[nawigator]

I trust you had a pleasent Thanksgiwing?

[sharpestscalpel.livejournal.com]

Heya, Peaches, it wasn't too shabby. You?

[nawigator]

Da, it vas wery nice. I did not realise how popular a holiday it was for the federation, though. I thought it vas mainly an old America thing.

Why Edith Quimby in particular...? Are you particularly interested in radiation therapy?

[sharpestscalpel.livejournal.com]

I appreciate her goddamn advances in dosing but also in fucking handling procedures to protect those doing the fucking dosing.

Underappreciated woman, Edith Quimby.

[rn-chapel.livejournal.com]

I'll agree to that.

[emma-mccoy.livejournal.com]

Honestly, that mouth of yours...

That's quite a bit to be thankful for.

[sharpestscalpel.livejournal.com]

I'd blame the company I keep, ma'am, but that might not be the entire goddamn truth.

And, yeah, I'm all well-off and be-damned-blessed. I ain't ashamed to say so.

[emma-mccoy.livejournal.com]

Can't censor the universe. Ah well.

And crepes? Definitely a thing to be thankful for.

The Surrealists and the Post Modernists?

Most curious, I would have presumed you to be partial to the Futurists...or possibly the Cubists.

The compression of theoretical space, as well as the designed beauty of non-symmetrical organic forms often appeals to those in the medical profession.

Though, I do recognize and appreciate the Modern and Post Modern movements.

[sharpestscalpel.livejournal.com]

I admit, I got me a fucking soft spot for the fucking Cubists but I was goddamn thankful for them last year. I try to keep the list shitting fresh, you know?

What're you thankful for, Cheeks?

[science-blues.livejournal.com]

Yes, redundancy in lists could prove to depreciate the overall value of the sentiment.

To be thankful is an emotional state that coincides with the general concept of gratitude. Though I am not thankful in the definitive sense, I do recognize the value of several aspects present and available to me.

Those which I am most specifically appreciative of are:

Universal Consistencies
Universal Inconsistencies
The Female Form
Dadaism
Fluxus
The Theory of Relativity
Chaotic Motion
Couches
The Unknown

You seem like the kinda guy I'd meet drinking in the bar, we'd get drunk together, then end up trying to kill each other by the end of the night. I don't do this holiday shit.

[original-fine.livejournal.com]

That's a pity, Jim.

About the holiday stuff, not the getting drunk together.

[kirktastic.livejournal.com]

...you have no clue. I don't want your pity.

[sharpestscalpel.livejournal.com]

Holidays are fucking good for you. Prove you're alive and all the other fuckers can eat a shit sandwich.

[original-fine.livejournal.com]

While the impetus behind it is somewhat different, I find myself almost agreeing.
