Trekkin' With Risus. Long ago, I wrote a little webpage with Star Trek stuff for Risus.
(It's not there anymore, but there's still a link for it at Cumberland.) It was kinda ho-hum, I guess, and I don't miss it. Mostly, it made fun of Trek, because at the time, I didn't like it. Since then, however, I have discovered that classic Trek makes the very toast upon which it rocks; in other words, I have an appreciation for it. In fact, this morning, before work, I watched an episode of the animated series, which I own on DVD.
