Star Trek: The Hirsuite Generation

Hi Triv-Meister,

I was talking with my Dad, Larry, the other day and he admitted that although he had enjoyed STAR TREK:Original Recipe with Shatner back in the 1960s, he despised Next Gen starring Patrick Stewart as the Cappy or the Skip.

The problem? He says that in the 23rd Century baldness would be cured and Jean Luc Picard should have a full head of hair. This rumination spoiled his enjoyment to the extent that he skipped the entire series, went straight past Deep Space Nine (Sisko is a chrome dome,too) and ended up watching STAR TREK: Voyager, instead.

Without a word of lie, bruvva.

Hi Barney,

Um, when we move out of home, we leave with the expectation that we know and understand our parents. Then, one day, usually after more than five years have elapsed, we are struck with the stunning revelation that, in fact, we only THINK we know who are parents are.

Drop this expectation and you'll discover things will flow much more easily. Larry is only genetically and technically your father now. If he also turns out to be more of an eccentric weirdo than the stern discplinarian who made you eat your peas - well - you've both gained something.

Cheers,

Mr Trivia

Dear Confused.

Once again, a reader has sent me a statement posing as a question. So I will not so much as answer it, as riff on it. Life is NOT a Cabaret. Kid Rock and Pamela Anderson BROKE UP! I rest my case.

Mr Trivia

p.s. Okay, not so much riff and rant. Whatever.


Mr Trivia would like to remind youse guys Spring Back, Fall Forward. Also make sure your clocks are set for Daylight Savings.
