SPiff's Pack Rat's Paradise

An Explaination

As an undergraduate at the University of Virginia the alias I used on the net and newsgroups was Spaceman SPiff (with both a capital "S" and "P"). This pile of junk was started there, hence the title "SPiff's Pack Rat Paradise."

The Junk

People are always after me to clean up my work space, my room, etc. but all I can ever manage is to get things into organized "piles." Here's a bunch of stuff that I've collected over my years on the 'net' that I don't have the heart to throw into the trash. Enjoy rumaging... and take what ever you want, just leave any credit to authors and what not in place. If you're curious as to where I found a certain item, contact me and I'll try to jog my memory.

Star Trek Junk

I'm a true blue trekIE (not trekER). Here are a few laughs at the expense of my favorite show:

• ST xmas and holiday spoofs
• What would happen if the Enterprise took on Darth Vader?
• What kind of a complier does the Enterprise use?
• Captain Kirk and Co. get trapped in a Road Runner cartoon.
• Star Trek top ten lists...
• What the Shuttlecraft Gallileo Xmas ornament _should_ have said.
• "....While Bill Clinton plays the sax! [We're Ani-man-iacs!]

This is my own work of Star Trek fan fiction.
