"Do you love me like, oh, the mighty ocean

  • "Do you love me like, oh, the mighty ocean crashing on the shore or something?" "Yah, I guess so." The romance was finished! Scott Tuba knew in his bones it was a bestseller-to-be
  • if only he could bear to change the names of Captain Picard and crew. Scott's friends read his romance and said it was refreshingly insincere and unconvincing, especially the part
  • where he had to run off and fight the Gromulanian Star-Humpers for three years without so much as admitting that he'd even been away. Scott and the rest of Picard's crew decided

  • head. What would Ollie and Fran do without Kukla? Kukla was replaced with Knucklehead Smiff, who was available. But they argued over billing and the act never got off the ground.
