It was a good run...

You know...those "away team" guys never made it back to the ship. I rarely watched Trek, but knew if you were on the away team is was a done deal. I wanted to buy a shirt but need the money to pay for gas to get to work...These gas prices hurt.

You know...those "away team" guys never made it back to the ship.



Only the ones with red shirts though. Strangely, they all had the first name of Yeoman. But I guess they really didn't need different first names, since they all died.

Hmmm.
I always thought it was "com" not "con."

Anyway, nothing against you, Hoke, but Ace leaving is total bullshit. This is the best blog on the Net.
And no, this isn't Ace writing about Ace. I'm a real fan.

Is this the episode where Ace temporarily suffers from amnesia, dresses like an Injun, and persuades the local populace he's a god? At least the boy might finally be hiding his peace pipe in a friendly teepee, rather than smoking it in solitude.

Cheer up, folks. We may have to make do with Hoke at the com, but the original Dusty is back.

And that's something.

It's "con":

"Assumed the con - An officer relieving his or her fellow officer of their responsibilities as the Officer-of-the-Deck (OOD) uses this statement: There is a short set of traditional verbiage that goes with this turnover of control (the word 'con' is short for control)."

Damn you Coooonnnn!

Has anyone ever noticed that 24 employs the same mechanism? You just know that if Jack Bauer goes some place with one or even two non-main characters, those guys have about 30 minutes left to live.

Come on, admit it, ace has checked himself into rehab for 'exhaustion'...

I'm really at a loss for words...What was Ace in this for? I think he needs to go to the track @ Belmont. What do you think Ace? Can we organize a day at the track...we can smoke cigars, drink cheap gin and cavort with protest chicks.

He writes/posts like a machine...Creatively, he's probably a "spent force". The problem...the battles won't stop! You are a BEACON Ace and it comes with BIG responsibility. Get the lead out (or get some help).

I have to say, Ace, this is a pretty lame joke. What were you thinking? You better come up with something hilarious to get yourself out of this.

and get rid of "Smitty"- youve been pimping him for months and hes still not funny. Johnny Coldcuts however is gold... solid gold.

Let's face it: Ace made a fortune on the tee shirts, despite all the poor mouthing, and split town faster than Professor Harold Hill.

In blogging circles this is known as the Andrew Sullivan Maneuver and is required reading for all starship captains.

Fabulous! I'm Andy "S" and I'm blogging from the Frech Riveria...I'm also wearing my short boys and sporting an Ace T!

Just as long as Ace doesn't come back later, except it's a different person....you know, like when they switched Darens in Bewitched.

Ahh, so it is "con." Thank you for the explanation. I assumed it was "com," short for command.

Again, nothing against Hoke Malokey.

Ace, if you're leaving to try to make it big in Hollywood, well, then, you suck.

If you're leaving to write better scripts for adult movies, well, that's a little better.

someone: when they switched Darens in Bewitched

Be VERY afraid.

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

Er, I mean...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!

In the fine Ace (RIP) tradition of linking to material everyone in the world has already seen, and because it goes with this topic, I offer up this:

HOKE:

ACE wrote after the ICE-T boob-blog that this site has become more juvenile, and it has. ACE OF SPADES has become a blog for trivial stories about nothing (with the exception of Ice-T's boobs) and a place for tit-for-tat name calling that goes on and on endlessly. Apparently some like it that way, as they shall certainly let me know about. I do not.

Can you bring some semblance of a conservative news/infomation/commentary blog back to ACE OF SPADES again (like Freeper) and let's see who salutes it?

PS - Hoke Maloke sounds Irish, are you Lace Curtain Irish, Shanty Irish, or Pig-Shit Irish?

Damn you Coooonnnn!

That made lasagna some out of my nose. And I hadn't started chewing yet.

I aim to please. Oh, and John- your new Top Ten is wrong. You can never have too much cowbell. Just ask Bruce Dickinson.

when hes done with ya .. you gonna be wearing gold-plated diapers.

WTF?! I'm away for a few days, I come back, AND THE T-SHIRTS ARE GONE, AND SO IS ACE?

Are you (CENSORED) KIDDING ME?

I want a T-shirt. Or at least a picture of WittySexKitten wearing one. Whichever.

This is a crock! ATTICA! ATTICA! ATTICA!

Ace/Hoke, I'd be dying of laughter ifn I was you. Whatta schtick! :D

"Gol DURNit Mabel! Ace up'n quit on us. He's got some 'Hoke Malokey' dude filling in for'im. I dunno...with a name like that, he cain't be's good as Ace..."

Hoke has the con... and is doing a masterful job of salvage.
