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.

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.

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

[sharpestscalpel.livejournal.com]

That's a fucking good list.

Couches - I goddamn appreciate me some couches. Especially when they are being enjoying in the company of some fucking female forms.

[science-blues.livejournal.com]

Couches are a frequently under-appreciated article of furniture. It is unfortunate that they do not simply come equipped with female forms, but the orchestration of such a feat would be most...complex.

Now this is something I could be very thankful for.

[science-blues.livejournal.com]

I am thankful for it, whenever it occurs.

[sharpestscalpel.livejournal.com]

I'd spend my hard-earned credits on that invention in a fucking heartbeat.

[science-blues.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

Until such time as it is available outside of the Argus III system, a couch without such fixtures will have to suffice.

[sharpestscalpel.livejournal.com]

We'll just have to install them, so to speak, after market. I got some fancy pants nurses around here, at least, look good reclining.

[science-blues.livejournal.com]

Am I to infer that the nurses under your staff roster are female?

I believe the sentiment I wish to express is most succinctly embodied by the statement: Goddamnit.

[sharpestscalpel.livejournal.com]

Cheeks, have you SEEN the little outfits my nurses are wearing? You'd definitely be thankful for regulation uniforms. I know I fucking am.

[science-blues.livejournal.com]

Though I indicated, above, that reiteration of the same ideal could detract from the impact of the sentiment, I say it again: GODDAMNIT.

...I can only imagine. Unfortunately.

[sharpestscalpel.livejournal.com]

I'll see if I can hook you up with some photos.

For science.

[science-blues.livejournal.com]

I would be most appreciative.

...of their scientific value, of course.

I have a deep appreciation of Science.

[sharpestscalpel.livejournal.com]

I figured you might.

Deep, as I was just saying to that Emma McCoy, being the operative term.

[original-fine.livejournal.com]

Remind me why we haven't met yet?

[science-blues.livejournal.com]

I am uncertain. It is, in fact, quite an oversight.

[original-fine.livejournal.com]

We should remedy that. I'm pretty much open.
