In recent days I've taken a fair amount of abuse, insults, and badnage at the hands of several here because I, Da Worfster, son of the House of Bass, has had the termerity to show a "softer side" of my character. In response to these delusional insults I must explain a few things.

1. Much as I love to do it, one cain't "kick arse" all day every day. "Pimp slappin" you punks is hard on da knuckles and rough on the shoe leather and recent budget cuts in the Fleet have made glove and shoe replacements few and far between.

2. Fun as it is Crushing Cardassians, Vulching Vulcans, Raping Romulans and Stompin' Starfleet is hard work. Even I get tired. And as F.A. so beautifully pointed out, we all need to "put the glass down" so we can pick up our pillaging, plundering and pulverizing with renewed vigor.!!

3. I'ts Springtime on Quonos and therefore our thoughts turn to those of (dare I say it) Love... I've thus far found only one female on this planet worthy of a warrior such as I. This woman who governs the wilderness of Alaska shows "promise". She's broad of hip, slays beasts and devours the flesh raw, fishes, fights and paints her face blood red!!!! Truly a worthy mate!!!!!

4. To facilitate the "mating" nature does a flip flop of our emotions for one week a year. Much like the Vulcans who, once every four or five years, "grow a pair" and fight and fornicate (see "Amok Time") we Klingons slow down, get weepy, spout poetry and watch "Titanic" for a week.

5. This period is almost over. On Tuesday (we have Monday of for St. Kayless Day) my period of melancholy will be over. On that day, G'man, Tex, Smokey, JSE and others who shall remain nameless (for now) shall face the full fury and wrath of the Klingon Empire. Battle shall be joined, Blood will be spilled, heads taken and the blood wine will flow....

So let it be written in the book of Kayless..... so let it be done!!!!!
