Finally, The Dread Pirate Picard decided something. He said, “Shut up, Wesley, I’ve never had a valet. You can try it for tonight. I’ll most likely kill you in the morning.” Three years he said that. “Shut up, Wesley. Good work. Sleep well. I’ll most likely kill you in the morning.” It was a fine time for me. I was learning engineering, flight control, anything anyone would teach me. And Picard and I eventually became friends.

Mainly it’s noticeable for spanish speakers because the spanish D is pronounced closer to the english th or is unvoiced depending on where it is in a word.

I’ve had to train my ear because I learned to speak spanish so I notice these things with my friends who are learning english.

The one that broke my mind the other day is that the D in drink is pronounced like a J. My friend was practicing his D sounds and came up with that out of the blue.

Even the second one isn’t pronounced the same. Some accents drop the th sound in clothes which is why they can sound similar.

That’s what makes it tense. One etiquette faux pas and next thing you know you’re bathing the playset in ketchup and pepto bismol.

Moriarty: I can't compete with you physically, and you're no match for my brains.
The Dread Pirate Jellico: You're that smart?
Moriarty: Let me put it this way. Have you ever heard of Bashir, Noonien-Singh, Daystrom?
The Dread Pirate Jellico: Yes.
Moriarty: Morons.

Jellico’s response that he thinks up in the turbolift:

“They don’t use money on Risa you 19th century twit.”

Prophets help us if Jellico discovers Moriarty’s program.

Cheap and easy for me means shepherd’s pie or pasta with sauce. Both are simple to make, cheap, and healthy. They also can freeze well so you can make a big batch on sundays for the whole week.

TV is just so dark.

Example A:

“Why the fuck didn’t you stop them, Lon? 'Cause then you’d be dead too, asshole.”

Edit: Also Lon “Suder” McClane is kind of scary if you think about it.

This meme left out the best ones:

Do you guys think that maybe when he was writing his wedding vows he was actually addressing them to Transporter Room #3?

Some say he’s still spinning to this very day:
