                         "Our Legendary Lost Episode"

Due to the fact that the Crouton Generation Productions crew
carelessly left the film reel in the car all afternoon in 
110-degree weather, this week's episode has been canceled.  Sorry!

On the next exciting episode of
	Star Trek: The Crouton Generation:

	"Would You Like to See the Whine List?"

As the academic year winds down, more and more of the crew begin to whine
and gripe about everything they can think of.  Some of the more commonly
held gripes are "I hate Junior Lab!", "I hate my program!", and "I hate
Junior Lab!"  Can Captain Crouton get his Solid State homework done with
all this griping?  Can Jez get ANY attention?  And will Missy get the
lights to work in time for her Lab Presentation as the Croutons fight
to survive?

[Note: This episode was inspired by a VAX conversation I had with a friend
here where we were totally punning using Japanese numbers.  FYI:
1 = i, or ichi  (i =ee)
2 = ni
3 = san
4 = shi
5 = go
6 = roku  (r and l are about the same...)
7 = nana
8 = hachi
9 = ku, kyu
10 = juu
 
On the NEXT (boring) episode of Star Trek: The Crouton Generation:
 
                "I 2d to 5 study!"
 
half japanese gets kidnapped by Malicious*  who makes her 5 watch a 8 game.
half japanese 9d not understand why 4 had to 5, but Malicious insisted it
would bring her team much 6.  half japanese 9d not follow the game, 1 team
looked like all the others.  When they finally got up to leave, half japanese
tripped on a ba7, and broke her 2, so 4 had to be kerried by Malicious.  half
japanese said: "3Q, 9d 10 take me home now, I 2d to 5 study."
 
Just then half japanese realized that Malicious wasn't really Malicious but 4
was a spy sent by the Hidden Valley Ranch Empire to keep half japanese away
from her homework (not that 4 studied anyway...).   Will Lt. Woj figure out
what is going on???  Will she kerr enough to help half japanese???  Will
everyone on the Croutonprize think half japanese is on drugs???  Is half
japanese on drugs???  And why isn't she sharing???  Find out on the Next
(boring) episode of Star Trek: The C. Generation!!...(as the crew fights to
survive and all that goodie stuff...)
 
 
* Some of you DO know who Malicious is...I put her in to satisfy Zecca's

                         "no sound in the head"

irregularity.  incidental bridge ossifer #1 (red shirt) in charge of the
moderatly to stupendously abnormal, ensign timmit, eschewing regular channels
(because they were jammed with outgoing traffic that wasn't going out) in his
quest for a solution to the now barely functioning starship's defeculties
rubbed the lucky tulip charm that had been posing as insignia on his StarFleet
tunic and called on The.Great.Tulip (a distant cousin of the.great.pumpkin) for
aid.  The.Great.Tulip, displaying her legendary insight and wisdom, explained
that the credits and titles people had been bribed by the evil H.V.R.-ers to 
replace the Croutons' "Gener" with a "Constip."  therefore, the crew was now
in Star Trek: The Crouton Constipation!!!  ensign timmit, upon being thusly
informed, hurriedly sent a message to NCC-1741-C/08, the shuttle Metamucil, 
explaining the situation to the only ship equipped to deal with the disaster.
will they be able to work it out?  will it all come up roses in the end?  only

		"Brainless, Anyone?"

Lieutenant Zortylwankoid now begins to realize that his department is not
immune from Kunz powers, and notices all his current delta-t's beginning to 
turn into one recurrant millisecond.  MADLY AND INCREDIBLY FAST he hastens,
	ignoring the incessant Dis-existentialism of Zen, 
	ignoring Mad Bob's deprived existance as a mere countdown timer,
	ignoring the tempting qualities of Lisa the net.goddess of 
	    usenet-cyberspace  who wants him to write The MUD of the
	    Century and invent several Incredibly Useful libraries and language
	    subsets, as well as just one more item in the Mailgame.
	ignoring even MORE any and all references to a certain feline which may 
	    or may not have something to do with keys owned by someone who 
	    may not have a roommate who is obsessed with incandescence or 
	    flourescence or various amounts of psychadelic drugs and Kunz tests
	    
	ignoring the length of his long and badly written sentences..
	ignoring comments by ingrates who will Never Understand little dots at 
	    the end of Wankoidianishical sentences...
	ignoring the fact that all his items must now be formatted in order to

He goes and fervently works in his Cyberspace lab    The crew is
baffled as he constantly runs about mentioning this new menace.... called by
him "Ay-Aye".

This Weapon is slowly corrupting his mind somehow and in order to stop it and 
its emissary... the PatHomeBrew... the crew forces out his plan to construct a
cyberbot which can actually RECOGNIZE APPLES and APPLE TREES, (and maybe 
tulips, if Ossifer timmit is interested).  The crew again does not understand 
the incomprhensible logic in this decision, but find that their trusted 
crewmate is serious and may be buried day and night in work... UNTIL Its TOOO
LATE!!!

	WILL ... THIS LIST OF QWESTIONS BE VERY LONG???!!!
	WILL.... ZORTYL ACTUALLY USE APPLES, OR WILL HE TRY ORANGES, and if so,
		WILL APPLE CORP.  SUE HIS CyberShirt OFF?
	WILL ... he make anything useful in the process... ever?
	WILL ... there be another format for ST:TCG shows than this?
	WILL... the cyberbot get good at posting these things; has he ALREADY!?
