    P.S. Worf and I go way back on this board. He'll get the joke, even if you don't.
    All I am saying is that when you make a remark like "I thought all your kind looked alike" to an African-American...it could easily be seen as a racist comment. I understand what you were trying to say about the Star Trek characters, but it just didn't come across that way to those that read it without making that connection.

    Same would apply if that comment were directed towards Latinos, Asians, etc.

    Like I said, Worf will get it. He's secure enough in his Klingon skin to put up with occasional ethnic humor at his expense. But, if one of his more reptilian complexioned comrades from the old country joined this board, the response probably won't be quite as charitable.

    Worf rouses himself from a blood wine induced stupor and laughs to himself... "silly Humans"... Lets loose with a deep laugh... Of course we all don't look alike. I'm from the old country side of the empire, you know the swarthy ones from the Original Series.. "Look Ma... No Bumps"!!!!!!

    I got the joke. No offense intended or given. I appreciate your fears for my "sensitivies" but this is ONE PLACE I've NEVER felt even a whiff of racism. I love this forum. Hell as cracks go that one wasn't even on the radar. LOL.... I've been called everything... in and out of uniform... but a child of God.. LOL... Nah all in fun. Why do you think I posted the damn pic? That's like feeding JSE raw twinkies!!!!

    Whoa, you mean some of y'all are actually BORN that way?! I thought them dudes from the Original Series looked more like Al Jolson in some deranged pseudo-Mongol drag! So them's real Klingons and not just fuglyfied humans?! (Not that I'd ever refer to YOU as a fuglyfied human, that would be going too far!) Learn something new everyday!

    Wooch promptly slips out the side door preparing for his new life in the intergalactic Witness Protection Program as a result of repeated Klingon honor code transgressions ...

    Worf is an African-American? But I thought he was a Kling-on.

    Worf? Is this true? Are you really from Earth? Oh wait. Now I remember. Your parents were killed by Romulans and you were raised by Earthlings. But weren't they a Jewish white couple?

    Do I smell Twinkie on your breath?

    Come on JSE, just a few more to go. I've already ordered the party supplies. The bar is stocked up. Come on in.
