Officers' Reports:

• The other night, Jay Leno brought to light the similarities in appearance between amateur astronaut Dennis Tito and DS9's Quark.
• This week's Star Trek CCG Card of the Week is entitled "Hull Breach." Featuring a picture of Harry Kim passing through a hole in the hull, a side note on the card adds, "This card sucks."

• The Constable presents a hilarious rendition of a scene from "The Matrix," with phasers: "Please remove any metallic items you're carrying, keys, loose change...Holy dren!"
• Everything's under control.

• The current balance is, most likely, $387.88, the same as last week.

• Pizza and subs were chosen; stuffed crusts will be an option (for the pizza).
• David states that one pizza should be half-ham and half-pineapple. "If you want both, make a sandwich."
• Anyone who doesn't like a particular ingredient is certainly welcome to pick it off.
• Speculation ensues on the exchange rate of a sub sandwich; David attributes low exchange rates to a "sub-standard economy."

• Also, SFC will hold a Farscape Chain Reaction on May 25, with new episodes airing June 15.
• The BBC is putting together a miniseries focusing on the Giles character from Buffy. Even a Writers' Guild strike will not deter the non-US BBC in this matter.
• A DS9/TNG crossover comic will be available next Wednesday; art from the comic is up on the Psi Phi website.
• The newest, error-free version of the Pocket Books ST timeline will debut this November. Kudos to David, one of the contributors!
