There are good things about them and there are things about them that bug the hell out of you. Top Ten Q Family Holiday Irritations. 1. Q, Q's sibling and Jean-Luc annoy the Q Parental Units by shutting themselves up in the sibling's bedroom to talk about slash. 2. Q always insists on having mashed pom-root with Chritsmas dinner, which bugs the hell out of Dad Q because *everyone* knows that pom-root doesn't go with roasted Denibian Slime Devil. 3. Mom Q spends a lot of time bitching about her job and then ignores Jean-Luc when he tries to make comparisons with his own problems on the job. 4. Q takes over the job of mixing drinks and, just for fun, makes everything a double or a triple. 5. Dad Q keeps trying to get everyone involved in something that's supposedly fun. 6. Mom Q, Q, Q's sibling, and Jean-Luc annoy Dad Q by shutting themselves in sibling's bedroom to watch that dance contest episode of "Hercules." 7. Dad Q doesn't understand why putting hot chocolate in your coffee just isn't the same as going to Foglifters for a café mocha. 8. Q, Jean-Luc, and Q's sibling all drink different brands of diet cola, and they're all really picky about it. 9. Given that the Q Parental Units are nearly-omnipotent immortals, it's pretty irritating that their sofa beds are so freakin' uncomfortable. 10. Q Parental Units insist on treating Jean-Luc like one of the family Great Things About Going to Visit the Q family for the Holidays 1. No one has to do the dishes. 2. Q Parental Units understand how important it is to check your interdimensional hyper-mail at least once an hour or so. 3. Dad Q kicks ass in a culinary fashion, and insists on whipping up yummy snacks when anyone looks even remotely peckish.. 4. Q Parental Units refrain from mentioning that only 1.5 seconds passed between the time Q and Jean-Luc left the Alpha Quadrant to the time they got to Chez Q, and that everyone knows that trip should take at least 2 seconds. 5. Everyone understands when Jean-Luc needs to work on year-end reports, even over the holidays. 6. Q Parental Units think pizza cutters make good stocking stuffers. 7. No one minds too much when Q and Jean-Luc disappear into the guest bedroom to "rest." 8. Q Parental Units don't look shocked when Jean-Luc swears. 9. Mom Q loves shopping the After Christmas Sales and can be counted on to drop a fair amount money on anyone who goes shopping with her. 10. Q Parental Units insist on treating Jean-Luc like a member of the family. On this Solstice, I'd like to wish everyone an enjoyable holiday season, for whichever holiday you celebrate, Ruth -- *************************************************** * Ruth | Visit GiffStein Productions * * Gifford | http://www.cyberg8t.com/ereshkgl/ * *-------------------------------------------------* * alt.startrek.creative.erotica.moderated * * Resistance is possible, but why bother? * *-------------------------------------------------* * Better living thru TrekSmut--See for Yourself! * * http://www.capital.net/users/rjs1/asce * *************************************************** "Bring back the Light Light never ending On Solstice night Our prayers we are sending" "Bring Back the Light" Gypsy
