Agave I swear I'm not the one who did this

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorn

<snip>

In the fictional Star Trek universe, the Gorn are intelligent reptilian humanoids from the Gorn Hegemony.

The Gorn had contact with the Orion Syndicate as early as 2154 (ENT: "Bound"). They made first contact with Starfleet at Cestus III in 2267 when a misunderstanding nearly led to war (TOS: "Arena"). Although the Gorn made territorial claims, the Federation had a settlement there in 2371, indicating tensions later softened (DS9: "Family Business").

Despite limitations in make-up technology which made it obvious the Gorn Captain (Agave) in "Arena" was simply an actor (Bobby Clark was the actual actor in the suit) in a lizard suit (see picture), the Gorn has nonetheless become one of the most popular aliens to ever appear on Star Trek due to the striking design of Wah Chang and the Gorn's memorable personality: a hissing, slow-moving beast, the Gorn is nonetheless quite devious, chuckling wickedly to himself as he sets a trap for Kirk and promising that if the captain gives himself up, the Gorn will make his death "merciful and quick." "Arena" is also considered one of the series' classic episodes and was the template for a similar, critically acclaimed episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation entitled "Darmok".

HOLY sh*t!!  NOW THAT'S FUNNY!!   :o  :o  :o  :o

I do remember someone on our forums claiming that I was the Gorn captain that got beat up by Kirk.  I was a while back, but I can't remember who it was.

BUT NOW I'M INFAMOUS!!   ALL HAIL THIS INFAMOUS BRUCE!! 

:woot: :spam: :dance: :spam: :woot:

(Kirk was really lucky.  I had so many easy opportunities to crush his puny little body.  But, I was a young office and I had my orders.  ;) )

Why that doesn't surprise me at all.   ::)

I happen to notice that you put me down as a notable enemy.  Should I feel honored, was that just another dig at me since you have owned me the last few times we flew on different sides?

Funny thing was, I've been working on my profile, and your name was the first one I thought of for that.   BASTARD!!

I W-WILL HAVE MY W-WREVENGE FOR W-WANDA!!  (someday  :'( )
