As I walk the passages of the ship, I notice one thing — it’s quiet…it’s too quiet…and that can only mean one thing: the cadets are back at the Imperial Academy!
FROM THE XO’S CHAIR: Alright, you’re probably noticing one thing right off the bat; this edition of CHUY DAH is early! That’s right, I’m actually a step ahead of things for once, so make this date down…for it may not happen again.
GOOD KARMA NEEDED: The Chancellor has informed me this week that he will be traveling to Virginia starting September 6th, and is not entirely sure exactly when he’ll be returning. His daughter, Honey, is undergoing a kidney transplant on September 10th. I’m sure he can use all the good karma he can get, so be sure to keep him and the entire family in your thoughts and prayers during that time.
ON THIS MONTH’S MEETING: We’re altering the “Movie and Dinner” night scheduled for this month (at my home) to a “Movie and Pizza” night; be sure to bring money for the pizza order, and if you feel like bringing a snack to share, feel free to do so. I will be supplying drinks, ice, and tableware. The movies of choice will be CUTTHROAT ISLAND and PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN: DEAD MAN‘S CHEST. As for the PIRATES movie, we will be giving it the Mystery Science Theater 3000 treatment…so, be ready to have fun with it.
THE GAUNTLET HAS BEEN THROWN DOWN: If you’re on the IKEF and Camp Dover Klingons Yahoo boards (and if you’re not, you should be), you may have heard about what’s happening at Marcon 44 in May of ‘09:
The Klingon Assault Group (KAG) is planning on using next year’s Marcon 2009 for their 20th anniversary since IndyCon has officially folded. And that’s fine. The more the merrier is usually the rule at most conventions. But see, here’s the problem. The scuttlebutt has it that KAG feels the need to show other fandom groups how to be Real Klingons. That somehow by not being in uniform for their own events other groups do not represent the Klingon Empire with Honor. If the scuttlebutt is true then KAG has managed to turn the clock back to the early 90s, where you were questioned as to your commitment to Klingon fandom if you didn’t look like you just stepped off the set of The Next Generation. KAG seems to have forgotten one thing — being Klingon isn’t simply just a fashion statement, it’s a way of living, a way of carrying yourself. Honor isn’t in the uniform, it’s in the soul.
FOUND IN EMAIL RE: MYLEFTFOOTLOOSE CHALLENGE: I received the following email from MyLeftFootloose.com:
WOW. That is an impressive amount of work and cleverness wrapped up in that package. Incredible! Did it make the parents laugh?I’ve hesitated to post more-than-two-movie combinations up to now, but I’ve collected a small number of good ones. As soon as I have a vision for how to introduce them I’ll be including this one at the top of that list. I will try to remember to write to you when it’s published.Thank you for remembering us and for plugging us on your site!

I don’t think they’ll be forgetting us anytime soon…
