Robert #2, April 11, 2002 Fly on, fly on! Starbuckin' across the universe, On the ship Galactica, Where things couldn't get much worse. Starbuckin' across the universe, Flyin' round in circles, We mustn't say "reverse." -- Sharon #3, April 12, 2002 > Fly on, fly on! Hi Ho Hi Ho Starbuckin' across the universe, Doing loops and circles Making dizziness a curse. Starbuckin' across the universe, Getting bumps and bruises Always wants a nurse. "Let's Rock and Roll this bird! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee." Robert #4, April 15, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, Lovin' all the ladies, But Cylons are a curse. Starbuckin' across the universe, Drinkin' sweet ambrosa - Just thinks he's in reverse. -- Sharon #5, April 17, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe Setting up the card decks Betting is a curse Starbuckin' across the universe Winning all the cubits Filling up his purse "And it's a pretty purse too, envy of the women." Robert #6, April 17, 2002 Ah, gamblin', are we? Starbuckin' across the universe, He lost Apollo's paycheck, He'd better reimburse. Starbuckin' across the universe, He's got a brand new system, So hang onto your purse! -- Sharon #7, April 18, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe All the lucky ladies He is to converse Starbuckin' across the universe All the gifts and sweet talk Dating to commerce Robert #8, April 18, 2002 LOL! If we're talking about his love life, we might as well list the ladies... Starbuckin' across the universe, Athena, Cassie, Tenna, But Aurora was there first, Starbuckin' across the universe, Miriam and Noday, His love life is diverse. -- Sharon #9, April 19, 2002 Starbuckin' across the Universe Two dates in an evening Hallways to traverse. Starbuckin' across the Universe Not enough Ambrosa Spicing up their thirst. Robert #10, April 19, 2002 Starbuck's still at it, eh.... Hmm, the perils of the pilot in love.... Starbuckin' across the universe, He ticked off Athena, And got his just desserts, Starbuckin' across the universe, Just a little steam burn, Boomer's gonna smirk. -- Sharon #11, April 19, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe Lost another girlfriend Got his just deserts. Starbuckin' across the universe Kissing for the make-up Still can't get the skirt. Robert #12, April 19, 2002 But can't let Starbuck think he's getting away with anything.... Starbuckin' across the universe, Gambling on Carillon Athena was averse, Starbuckin' across the universe, And so was Cassiopeia, To know a game came first. -- Sharon #13, April 21, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe Wowing the two women Master of the flirt Starbuckin' across the universe One always has to wonder Which girl will take his shirt. Robert #14, April 21, 2002 So, Starbuck's still starbuckin', is he.... Starbuckin' across the universe, Cassie got the ducats But Starbuck got the urge, Starbuckin' across the universe, To see his flame Aurora A mutiny rehearse. -- Sharon #15, April 22, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe Meeting up with Sheba, Just thought he'd try a flirt, Starbuckin' across the universe, She knew how to handle him, His teasing bubble burst. -- Sharon #16, April 22, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe One without a lady Things are getting worse. Starbuckin' across the universe He needs to find one soon Or he's going to be bezerk. Robert #17, April 23, 2002 Starbuck, without a lady, decides it's time to go on a mission. Starbuckin' across the Universe Crashed another viper Deep into the dirt. Starbuckin' across the Universe Crawling from the wreckage He's never really hurt. "Faster than a launching viper. More powerful than the Ravashol Pulsar. Able to leap battlestars in a single hop. It's..... Super Starbuck!" Robert #18, April 23, 2002 So the lad's leaving the ladies behind a bit for a little flying, eh? Starbuckin' across the universe, Another broken Viper, The Colonel's gonna curse! Starbuckin' across the universe, The Commander's gettin' ticked off - Now things are really worse! -- Sharon #19, April 24, 2002 > So the lad's leaving the ladies behind a bit for a little flying, eh? Seeing how he's been striking out lately in our wacky song. I figure he needs a little time to scheme up his next scheme to scheme the ladies into his arms. Starbuckin' across the universe, Walking from the viper Smelling frankincense and myrrh Starbuckin' across the universe, Found a locket on the ground But knew it wasn't hers. Hers who? Not hers who, who is hers? Which her is hers? Not which, who's hers? Robert #20, April 24, 2002 So what's Starbuck gonna do with that locket.... Starbuckin' across the universe, Opened up the locket And heard a gentle purr. Starbuckin' across the universe, Figured it's a mystery Of a kitten, not a cur. -- Sharon #21, April 24, 2002 So, Starbuck got a locket. Starbuckin' across the universe, The locket held a genie, And he began to smirk, Starbuckin' across the universe, Thinking of the ladies, He'd get to peel his shirt. -- Sharon #22, April 25, 2002 Starbuckin' across the Universe, "I'll grant you one big wish Which I'll guarantee to work." Starbuckin' across the Universe, Starbuck stared at the genie Thinking of great perks. Robert #23, April 25, 2002 Let's see what Starbuck's going to wish for. Starbuckin' across the universe. "I'll wish for lots of cubits - No, wait, they're just inert...." Starbuckin' across the universe, "I'll wish for one sweet lady - No, wait, one is a dearth..." -- Sharon #24, April 26, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, "I'll wish for a good system, No, wait, that has its quirks." Starbuckin' across the universe, "I'll wish that we could quickly find The fastest way to Earth." -- Sharon #25, April 26, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, "Maybe dancing shoes for Cassi And a pretty dress." Starbuckin' across the universe, "Dancing with the Cylon Sure has caused her stress." Robert #26, April 26, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, "Maybe I'll wish for Jennie, Good lubricant, not gunk." Starbuckin' across the universe. "That would help my Viper, And stop it going clunk...." -- Sharon #27, April 27, 2002 Starbuck's still at it. Starbuckin' across the universe, "A brand new deck or two of cards Would make the fellahs cheer." Starbuckin' across the universe, "Of course, they'd also love Some more ambrosa and some beer...." -- Sharon #28, April 28, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, "Perhaps I do need something, Something very dear." Starbuckin' across the universe, "Maybe all I really need Is very close and near." Robert #29, April 28, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, He had to make decisions. He tried his very best. Starbuckin' across the universe, He stared at the genie. "Surely, you must jest." Robert #30, April 28, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, "Maybe I'll wish for something sweet, Good choc'late, not some junk." Starbuckin' across the universe, He didn't know what to wish for... Then he woke up in his bunk. -- Sharon #31, April 29, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, He shook his head back and forth The dream - it was so real. Starbuckin' across the universe, He tried to sit up slowly But his head spun like a wheel. Robert #32, May 2, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, He wandered down the hallway For a dream he did so miss Starbuckin' across the universe, He saw a man running by Yelling, "Kate, I need a Kiss." Robert #33, May 3, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, A gal in red did answer him, "No way, Petruchio!" Starbuckin' across the universe, He said, "The play's the thing, my dear, A kiss I will bestow." -- Sharon #34, May 4, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, Things were getting stranger When Bianca said, "Hello!" Starbuckin' across the universe, Then she gave a great big hug To our half-dressed blond hero. -- Sharon #35, May 5, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, This time it was so crazy He saw a red light glow. Starbuckin' across the universe, The ghostly glowing lady Kissed him for the show. Robert #36, May 7, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, What would Starbuck do on stage Only halfway dressed? Starbuckin' across the universe, He rolled his eyes, shook his head. "Oh what a great big mess." Robert #37, May 7, 2002 The insanity, the insanity! It continues! Starbuckin' across the universe, Apollo played Petruchio, And Sheba played the shrew, Starbuckin' across the universe, Cass was sweet Bianca -- Just one thing for him to do! -- Sharon #38, May 8, 2002 > The insanity, the insanity! It continues! Absolutely! :) :) Poor Starbuck is still wondering around, lost in that dream, and confused about what is going on all around him. Welcome to Never Never Land. Starbuckin' across the universe, The make-up person stopped by To touch up Starbuck's face. Starbuckin' across the universe, She powdered up his nose In such a hurried pace. Robert #39, May 8, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, Coughing at the action He pushed away the stuff. Starbuckin' across the universe, "Thank you very kindly, but I think I'm pretty enough." Robert #40, May 8, 2002 Ooh, we're doubling up, now, are we.... Starbuckin' across the universe, Quoth Richard with a smirk, "Dirk, you're sure all wet." Starbuckin' across the universe, "Cut!" yelled the director, And stormed around the set. Starbuckin' across the universe, "All right, who turned the shower on, And threw our hero in?" Starbuckin' across the universe, "It's costing more than cubits, It almost is a sin...." Starbuckin' across the universe, "Hey," said all Blue Squadron's gals, "We didn't mind a bit." Starbuckin' across the universe, "Starbuck getting showered Will surely be a hit!" I shouldn't be doing this at work, I know I shouldn't.... :) :) :) :) -- Sharon #41, May 8, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, Starbuck was thrown off the stage. His body was noticed first. Starbuckin' across the universe, All the ladies screamed out They had to quench their thirst. Sleepily Robert #42, May 9, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, The stage ladies had to grab him And take him to wardrobe. Starbuckin' across the universe, They tried on different clothing But settled for his robe. Starbuckin' across the universe, The show had to continue Without a Bucko to spare. Starbuckin' across the universe, In midst of all the fuss and hurry He didn't lose a hair. Smiles Robert #43, May 16, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, Hiding in the scenery And clinging to his robe. Starbuckin' across the universe, Our hero's gettin' chilly, His rear is feelin' cold. -- Sharon #44, May 17, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, Someone had to tease him And hold away his pants. Starbuckin' across the universe, The only way to get them Was to move his feet and dance. Starbuckin' across the universe, Glancing at the holder He saw the Siress Queenie Starbuckin' across the universe, He tangoed with the lady And whispered for the genie. Starbuckin' across the universe, Boomer watched from the shadows As the flurry did unfold. Starbuckin' across the universe, He held his girlfriend close by Secrets kept untold. Robert #45, May 19, 2002 So, the man must be up to something ... or somebody must be up to something. Starbuckin' across the universe, "A party!" shouted Jolly. "I'll grab a willing gal!" Starbuckin' across the universe, And they all joined the dancing, Blue Squadron, one and all! Starbuckin' across the universe, As the dancing did continue, Adama joined right in, Starbuckin' across the universe, He danced with Siress Tinia - Baltar knew he couldn't win. Starbuckin' across the universe, He watched the dancing couples, But he wasn't having fun. Starbuckin' across the universe, "I've got to stop this party, I won't be the only one!" -- Sharon #46, May 20, 2002 The villain continues his evil plotting! Starbuckin' across the universe, "I'll make a plan to stop this fun, I won't leave it to chance." Starbuckin' across the universe, The evil villain Baltar Thought how he could stop the dance. -- Sharon #47, May 21, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, The evil traitor rubbed his hands While he crafted up his plan. Starbuckin' across the universe, "For this one will not fail me, Nor will it hit the fan." Robert #48, May 21, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, He sent his Cylons in to stop Those dancin' warriors blue. Starbuckin' across the universe, The Cylons saw sweet twirlin' Cass, And asked, "Can we dance too?" -- Sharon #49, May 21, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, Cassi saw the dancing dare and dawned her steel toe boots. Starbuckin' across the universe, Starbuck looked out to her. He knew he was in Cahoots. Robert #50, May 23, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, Baltar stamped his feet and scowled, At seeing his plan fail. Starbuckin' across the universe, He tried to make the music stop To make the dancers bail. -- Sharon #51, May 24, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, To think of Cylons dancing Is a wee bit, little spookie. Starbuckin' across the universe, For all the trouble he went though Baltar didn't receive the cookies. Robert #52, May 27, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, Baltar slammed his head against the wall And yelled a great big curse. Starbuckin' across the universe, "Adama won't feel paybacks Cause my revenge is worse." Starbuckin' across the universe, "You've not heard the last of me. You'll feel my deadly wrath." Starbuckin' across the universe, The prisoner down the hall yelled, "Baltar take a bath." Robert #53, May 27, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, "A turboshower!" Baltar thought, "That'll make this party chill!" Starbuckin' across the universe, "That'll make the Cylons rusty and Their love for dancing kill!" Starbuckin' across the universe, "And it will end this fever To sashay like Dick Clark." Starbuckin' across the universe, "Yes, a good cold turboshower Will end this dancing lark." Or ... will it? Has Baltar miscalculated, yet again? Will tomorrow see the return of the fox-trotting Blue Squadron? Will the gals from Red figure out a waltz, or go straight to the cha-cha? Can Adama and Tinia mamba, or will Belloby cause a rumba? Tune in next time.... -- Sharon #54, May 30, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, The sprinkler system kicked on And showered all the guests. Starbuckin' across the universe, They could not escape the water, Wondering, "Who's the sneaky Jest?" Starbuckin' across the universe, They made a waltz in water With cha cha under drops. Starbuckin' across the universe, The tango wet and steamy Past the buckets and the mops. Robert #55, May 31, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, They were singin' in the shower With Ray and Fred and Lloyd. Starbuckin' across the universe, Then Baltar wished to join it, And no longer to avoid. Starbuckin' across the universe, But Bojay's in the turbowash, And Baltar couldn't get a turn. Starbuckin' across the universe, No showering for Baltar So the ladies did him spurn. Starbuckin' across the universe, They wouldn't dance with Baltar They all just held their nose. Starbuckin' across the universe They wouldn't stop their dancing, Leaving Baltar so morose. -- Sharon #56, May 31, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, Baltar sighed with frowning envy And watched the pilots rumba. Starbuckin' across the universe, Then with a scowl and heavy heart He watched them do a samba. -- Sharon #57, June 3, 2002 > But Bojay's in the turbowash, > And Baltar couldn't get a turn. Hmmmmmmmm. Starbuckin' across the universe, Bojay flew through the door. He was in a great big rush. Starbuckin' across the universe, Hurry Hurry Hurry He needed the turboflush. Starbuckin' across the universe, The door it locked behind him With a subtle click. Starbuckin' across the universe, The tumblers went in motion To lock the door and stick. Starbuckin' across the universe, Bojay gave a final wiggle And headed for the door. Starbuckin' across the universe, He yanked the turbo-door handle And fell flat to the floor. Here's to a week free from stress. [No snap, crackle, pop with this glass] Ahhhhhhhhhhh. Merry Monday Robert #58, June 4, 2002 Bwa-ha-ha, the mad starbucker strikes again! Starbuckin' across the universe, "What can I do now," he thought, And gave another push. Starbuckin' across the universe, "If I thought it'd do some good I'd just give another flush." Starbuckin' across the universe, But the door, it wouldn't open, He was good and stuck. Starbuckin' across the universe, Out among the dancers, The warriors ran amock. Starbuckin' across the universe, Bojay was fogotten, And so was Baltar too. Starbuckin' across the universe, One stuck in a prison cell, The other in the loo. -- Sharon #59, June 5, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, Mr. Trolley zipped by The Turbowash without a thought Starbuckin' across the universe, Bojay heard all the dinging It was the help he sought. Starbuckin' across the universe, He slumped a while later When no help did arrive. Starbuckin' across the universe, He hoped the aid would come In only another five. Starbuckin' across the universe, The Dinging hit the Dance hall Mr. Trolley lit the floor. Starbuckin' across the universe, He did his Wheelie Swinging Once he sped on by the door. Starbuckin' across the universe, From the bells and the whistles, The crowd did cheer for him. Starbuckin' across the universe, A little trolley dancing Was more than just a whim. Starbuckin' across the universe, Bojay heard the laughter. He shouted very loud. Starbuckin' across the universe, His voice did an echo Not heard by the crowd. Starbuckin' across the universe, He had a plan to save him One that would not fail. Starbuckin' across the universe, He made a paper boat. It even had a sail. Starbuckin' across the universe, He set the boat on water And flushed it through the pipes. Starbuckin' across the universe, The turboflush did take it. Boatie cried out a loud yipe. Starbuckin' across the universe, Bojay scratched his head In sheer disbelief. Starbuckin' across the universe, Boats they could not yell out Not one for "Where's the Beef?" Starbuckin' across the universe, The turbowash was silent. Did Bojay loose his mind? Starbuckin' across the universe, That was the one big question Whose answers we may not find. Robert #60, June 6, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, Bojay nearly gave up, Lost in his distress. Starbuckin' across the universe, When suddenly arrived Cain To deal with the big mess. Starbuckin' across the universe, "I'm here to save the day," he said. "Just watch see me join the dance!" Starbuckin' across the universe, "But first I'll need a partner, Sweet Cassie, here's your chance." Starbuckin' across the universe, Cassie gulped; "Oh, no," she thought, "I don't know who to choose." Starbuckin' across the universe, "Dance with Starbuck, or with Cain, Or with Cylons in tin shoes...." -- Sharon #61, June 7, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, Mr. Trolley spun in circles Around the Cylon feet. Starbuckin' across the universe, All the tin heads fell down, Collapsed into a heap. Starbuckin' across the universe, Cassi wondered what to do. She'd have to dance with Cain. Starbuckin' across the universe, Maybe she'd avoid it If she had a sudden pain. Starbuckin' across the universe, Cain smiled in triumph Those Cylons were a drop. Starbuckin' across the universe, He knew Cassi couldn't pass The chance to dance and hop. But could she, would she, should she? Robert #62, June 8, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, Cassi saw the fumbles. She hid among the crowd. Starbuckin' across the universe, Cain knew he'd have a dance partner. He sure did feel quite proud. Robert #63, June 8, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, "A partner, huh? I'll dance with Cain!" Brie jostled from the rear. Starbuckin' across the universe, "No, me!" said Gemma, pushing through, "I'm standing much more near!" Starbuckin' across the universe, Sorrel grabbed the legend's arm. "Me first, 'cuz I'm right here!" Starbuckin' across the universe, "I'd love to dance," chimed Rigel, "And I find you oh so dear!" Starbuckin' across the universe, "I'm far the better dancer," Said Athena with a twirl. Starbuckin' across the universe, "Oh, posh," said Lyra teasingly, "I'd dance rings around a world!" Starbuckin' across the universe, "Rings around a dance floor Are what he'll really need." Starbuckin' across the universe, And Dietra moved into his arms Prepared to let Cain lead. Starbuckin' across the universe, Blue Squadron's boys were puzzled As their gals abandoned waltz Starbuckin' across the universe, The girls surrounded Cain, Leaving them feeling like dolts. Starbuckin' across the universe, "Now quick," said Sheba to her friend. "Go grab your Starbuck's hand." Starbuckin' across the universe, "While my dear father's occupied, We'll strike up the Spheroids band." (Who'd'a thunk she could be such a schemer -- and for whose benefit?) -- Sharon #64, June 11, 2002 Starbuckin' across the Universe, The Cheerleaders of Cain Scrambled across the floor. Starbuckin' across the Universe, The pom-poms were flying, The cheers came in a roar. Starbuckin' across the Universe, The warriors had to look around And wonder what went on. Starbuckin' across the Universe, What did the legend have When his magic cape was donned. Starbuckin' across the Universe, Cain waved his swagger stick Through the ballroom air. Starbuckin' across the Universe, He began to do his foxtrot As if no one else would dare. Robert #65, June 13, 2002 Starbuckin' across the Universe, But as he started dancing, Someone came through the door. Starbuckin' across the Universe, They all oohed and aahed as Chameleon took the floor. Starbuckin' across the universe, "Hurray!" said Siress Ginger, "A partner for us all!" Starbuckin' across the universe, "Forward, backward, upside down, He will never fall!" Starbuckin' across the universe, The elder gents all took the arms Of ladies standing 'round. Starbuckin' across the universe, While all the brave young pilots Just stood there looking down. Starbuckin' across the universe, "We'll show these boys how it's done," Adama said to Cain. Starbuckin' across the universe, "The way we used to do it In our days of youthful fame." Starbuckin' across the universe, Colonel Tigh was in the act - From a trot into a tango, Starbuckin' across the universe, "Oh, wow!" said awed Athena, "Just watch our colonel go!" -- Sharon #66, June 15, 2002 > So the cheerleaders are in on the act, eh? > Chameleon took the floor. Cool. Now we really have a dance mix. Starbuckin' across the universe, The Legend's Hip Cheerleaders Began to boo and hiss. Starbuckin' across the universe, Chameleon shouldn't take the light, Or even a lady's kiss. Starbuckin' across the universe, Cain pouted and he looked on as Ginger and Chameleon ignited the spotlights. Starbuckin' across the universe, The loss of attention Wasn't worth a fight. Starbuckin' across the universe, Commander had better things to do Like wipe the Cylons out. Starbuckin' across the universe, You couldn't dance in vipers. Of that there was no doubt. Starbuckin' across the universe, The young lads had some trouble As the elders graced the ladies. Starbuckin' across the universe, They wanted to join the Cha Cha As well as all their mateys. Starbuckin' across the universe, Another dance had finished. No one tired out. Starbuckin' across the universe, The ladies changed their partners When ideas began to sprout. Starbuckin' across the universe, They curtsied to the young man And waved them to come in. Starbuckin' across the universe, All of them had their fun. They felt like next of kin. Robert #67, June 16, 2002 So, everyone's dancing except Cain and his pouting cheerleaders. Hee-hee. As if nobody could have a good time if they aren't. Hmm, what else are the warriors up to today.... Starbuckin' across the universe, Cain went to the Pegasus And left the party flying, Starbuckin' across the universe, And all the warriors dancing, With no more why-oh-whying. Starbuckin' across the universe, And Baltar kept on sulking, But no one paid attention, Starbuckin' across the universe, And Bojay's still stuck in the john Which no one thought to mention. Starbuckin' across the universe, But then the red alert screamed out, The warriors all did scramble, Starbuckin' across the universe, The middle of a red alert Was just no time to amble. Starbuckin' across the universe, Some rushed to their Vipers, And the others to their posts. Starbuckin' across the universe, Each prepared to do his part To end the Cylon boasts. Starbuckin' across the universe, Thought Starbuck with a heavy sigh, "We'll dance no more today." Starbuckin' across the universe, "Unless we make those Cylons Go so quickly far away." Starbuckin' across the universe, All aboard Galactica Were ready for a fight, Starbuckin' across the universe, Against those nasty Cylons who Disrupted their great night. Starbuckin' across the universe, Back aboard the Pegasus, Cain did get perverse. Starbuckin' across the universe, He blew up Cylon fighters With a little laser burst. Starbuckin' across the universe, And the warriors in their Vipers Gave a few bursts of their own Starbuckin' across the universe, To make the Cylons heed them And turn tail straight for home. -- Sharon #68, June 17, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, Vipers landed with all the screeching halts. Viper crews searched for missing parts. Starbuckin' across the universe, A few loose screws and nuts. Add missing marbles to the top. Starbuckin' across the universe, Helmets flying everywhere Making such a mess. Starbuckin' across the universe, Pilots running everywhere Like babies in a nest. Robert #69, June 18, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, Alpha bay was all awhirl With squadrons red and blue, Starbuckin' across the universe, And Beta Bay was busy With green and yellow too. Starbuckin' across the universe, Said Sheba to her captain, "Now my father I'll go see." Starbuckin' across the universe, Called Bojay from the turboflush, "Hey, Sheba, wait for me!" Starbuckin' across the universe "I'm a Pegasus warrior too, And I'm entitled to the trip!" Starbuckin' across the universe, But since nobody heard him, Nobody cared a rip. Starbuckin' across the universe, Apollo wasn't happy To see his Sheba go, Starbuckin' across the universe, Reese meanly told Apollo, "She won't come back, you know." Starbuckin' across the universe, "Hey Reese," said Boomer, "Go get lost, we don't hear you at all." Starbuckin' across the universe, "You wanna fight?" Reese then asked, "I'm ready for a brawl!" Starbuckin' across the universe, The warriors and security All got into a fight. Starbuckin' across the universe, They gave each bruises - Shiners nice and bright. Starbuckin' across the universe, Brawling through the corridors, Fighting through the ship, Starbuckin' across the universe, Scuffling in the turbolifts, Punching nose and lip. Starbuckin' across the universe, Of course we know who had to win - Apollo and his boys. Starbuckin' across the universe, But oops, here comes the colonel, 'Cuz he heard all the noise. -- Sharon #70, June 20, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, Security all scattered As the colonel showed up near. Starbuckin' across the universe, "He's your colonel, handle him," Reese shouted with a sneer. Starbuckin' across the universe, "You're a snitrat," Boomer yelled. "You started this whole mess!" Starbuckin' across the universe, "So what?" said Reese, and ran away. Said Giles, "Let's kick his ass." Starbuckin' across the universe, "There'll be no kicking, not today," Said Tigh with icy glare, Starbuckin' across the universe, "You've kicked and punched enough today, Of that I am aware." Starbuckin' across the universe, "But all for a good reason," Chimed in Starbuck with a grin. Starbuckin' across the universe, "Couldn't let Reese's people think They had a chance to win." Starbuckin' across the universe, With that he blew a ring of smoke And waved on down the hall. Starbuckin' across the universe, "We'll hear it soon, when they find out, They'll feel just two feet tall." Starbuckin' across the universe, "What did you do?" the colonel asked, Foreboding on his face, Starbuckin' across the universe, "Don't worry, sir," he reassured, "T'won't cause a fall from grace." -- Sharon #71, June 21, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, Kiddies were fighting too Just like the big grown-ups. Starbuckin' across the universe, They ran around the orphan ship Followed by Muffit. Starbuckin' across the universe, They needed to have more mushies To improve their sweet diet. Starbuckin' across the universe, If they didn't receive them They would take to flight. Starbuckin' across the universe, The caretakers were troubled They had no more mushies to give. Starbuckin' across the universe, Try as they might to please the kids, They had to tell a fib. Starbuckin' across the universe, Kiddies went to riot. Everything ran amok. Starbuckin' across the universe, They heisted the bay shuttle Escaping from the dock. Starbuckin' across the universe, Heading for the Big G They had themselves a plan. Starbuckin' across the universe, Flood the lifts and hallways As soon as they did land. Starbuckin' across the universe, No one would stop them If they had their way. Starbuckin' across the universe, What did grown-ups really know About how kiddies played? Starbuckin' across the universe, Mushies were essential To give them energy. Starbuckin' across the universe, They needed that more than They needed a spot of tea. Robert #72, June 28, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, Council Security ran in to the bay, And were knocked down to the floor. Starbuckin' across the universe, They were suddenly trampled on As the kids fled through the doors. Starbuckin' across the universe, Mr. Trolley sped in To shoot his harpoon line. Starbuckin' across the universe, He circled around security To tie them up so fine. Starbuckin' across the universe, The men they were so tangled They would be unable to move. Starbuckin' across the universe, Council Fools all tied up let Colonial Warriors free to move. Starbuckin' across the universe, Mushies were to be found. The kids charged through the halls. Starbuckin' across the universe, They had their weapons ready Their sticks, their toys and balls. Starbuckin' across the universe, While the kid chaos was moving Tigh was summoned to the bridge. Starbuckin' across the universe, "Colonel you must chill these kids. Go put them in the fridge." Starbuckin' across the universe, Colonel Tigh looked to Adama. He stared in disbelief. Starbuckin' across the universe, "Sir, you must be kidding. These orders are too brief." Starbuckin' across the universe, "Tigh, you are too serious. It was simply a twist of words." Starbuckin' across the universe, "You needn't hurt the kiddies, Merely round up all the herds." Starbuckin' across the universe, With a salute he left the dais To summon all the Warriors. Starbuckin' across the universe, He handed out the messages To all of his couriers. Starbuckin' across the universe, The messengers ran to the bunks To wake the ladies and men. Starbuckin' across the universe, The groans were heard throughout the ship As they counted slowly to ten. Starbuckin' across the universe, Officers took to battle gear To confront the kids. Starbuckin' across the universe, They wore their pads and helmets. They even had cartoon vids. Robert #73, July 5, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, Signs for kids were posted In the Vid-Room Hall. Starbuckin' across the universe, "Colonies Funniest Videos. Come now. Come one. Come all." Starbuckin' across the universe, In another corridor The trails of mushies were laid. Starbuckin' across the universe, One of the warrior questioned, "How much are we getting paid?" Starbuckin' across the universe, Storybooks were brought out From the ship's archive. Starbuckin' across the universe, They were placed with candy When the kids arrived. Starbuckin' across the universe, The bait - it was discovered As kids raced through the halls. Starbuckin' across the universe, They followed all the voices Of the women's kiddie calls. Starbuckin' across the universe, The women read the stories. The men they played the games. Starbuckin' across the universe, Festivities had begun. Everyone made their claims. Starbuckin' across the universe, Council Security fumbled through. They didn't make the catch. Starbuckin' across the universe, Colonial Warriors triumphed As they won the match. Starbuckin' across the universe, Meanwhile, Chameleon looked around And wondered where everyone had gone. Starbuckin' across the universe, For him and Siress Ginger The dancing must go on. Starbuckin' across the universe, A person heard the music And stopped to check its source. Starbuckin' across the universe, She admired the dancing couple And hoped they taught a course. Starbuckin' across the universe, Chameleon had to ask her What happened to everyone? Starbuckin' across the universe, She told him of the children's mess Who were caught, now having fun. Starbuckin' across the universe, Siress Ginger had a plan To bring the people back. Starbuckin' across the universe, "Gather all the kiddies And bring their sleeping sacks." Starbuckin' across the universe, Chameleon snapped his fingers. He picked up on the clues. Starbuckin' across the universe, A great big ballroom dance Where they hadn't a thing to lose. Starbuckin' across the universe, The lady who doesn't have a name Ran off to gather the troupes. Starbuckin' across the universe, The band musician summoned With harps, the horns, and flutes. Starbuckin' across the universe, The party lights were turned on With the spinning mirror ball. Starbuckin' across the universe, This was to be the best time For the dancing hall. Robert #74, July 5, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, With children all tucked into bed The dance began anew. Starbuckin' across the universe, With everyone invited, Not just the warrior few. Starbuckin' across the universe, The music swelled so lively and They danced across the floor Starbuckin' across the universe, And as the word kept spreading, More kept coming through the door. Starbuckin' across the universe, Said Ginger to Chameleon, "You dance so very light!" Starbuckin' across the universe, "No, the gravity's gone out," he said. "Oh what a fright!" Starbuckin' across the universe, Drifting through the dancing hall With partners on their arm Starbuckin' across the universe, Clinging to each other So no one'd come to harm. -- Sharon #75, July 6, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, Tigh climbed up the dais To give Adama his report. Starbuckin' across the universe, "Security is quite tied up. They couldn't hold the fort." Starbuckin' across the universe, "The children all are herded Chameleon calmed them down." Starbuckin' across the universe, "He has them all in nap-time. Sir, he's quite the clown." Starbuckin' across the universe, The Commander didn't smile. His expression was still grim. Starbuckin' across the universe, Tigh wondered what was so bad. He knew it wasn't him. Starbuckin' across the universe, Adama patted Tigh's shoulders. "Thank you my good friend." Starbuckin' across the universe, "I'm glad to know the chaos Has finally come to an end." Starbuckin' across the universe, Omega saw a message That he didn't want to say. Starbuckin' across the universe, It really was surprising For such a crazy day. Starbuckin' across the universe, Nap-sacked kids were floating high. Chameleon didn't jest. Starbuckin' across the universe, Food soared everywhere In the officer's mess. Starbuckin' across the universe, Over in the turbo washes The water wasn't coming down. Starbuckin' across the universe, Omega shook his head As he read on with a frown. Starbuckin' across the universe, Before he told Adama A crewman entered fast. Starbuckin' across the universe, He ran throughout the bridge. Everyone sat aghast. Starbuckin' across the universe, The man - he saw Adama And ran right up to him. Starbuckin' across the universe, He tried to breathe and say the words Not being very prim. Starbuckin' across the universe, "While trying to fix the gravity I kept losing my fine dowels." Starbuckin' across the universe, "I used the light to check around And saw demons in the bowels." Starbuckin' across the universe, Adama couldn't believe his ears. He wiped sweat from his brow. Starbuckin' across the universe, "Did I hear you correctly? You see men in the bowels?" Starbuckin' across the universe, The worker was so nervous. "I didn't say I see men." Starbuckin' across the universe, "What is there is big and ugly. I said I saw Demons." Robert #76, July 7, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, Elsewhere on the battlestar, Folks were dreaming of the past. Starbuckin' across the universe, Mr. Trolley's wheels were spinning, Going nowhere fast. Starbuckin' across the universe, The lights went off and on But nobody seemed to care Starbuckin' across the universe, As a sneaky long dark shadow Crept in from its dark lair. Starbuckin' across the universe, Drifting somewhat sideways was The ever-playing band. Starbuckin' across the universe, When suddenly the tray was grabbed By a green, six-fingered hand. Starbuckin' across the universe, "Hey, who took the cookies!" Shouted Jolly in alarm. Starbuckin' across the universe, "This party won't be any fun If they've come to some harm!" Now there's a man who's got his priorities! :) -- Sharon #77, July 10, 2002 Starbuckin' across the Universe, Reese was walking down the hall Taking his good old time. Starbuckin' across the Universe, The Ghastly Ghoul flew on by. Reese was hit with slime. Robert #78, July 10, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, They found him later, gibb'ring, Cookie crumbles in his hair Starbuckin' across the universe, Swore a demon'd flown by him Like a Viper through the air. Starbuckin' across the universe, Nobody really believed him -- Would you believe that Reese? Starbuckin' across the universe, 'Til something flew by Uri And left him knocking knees. Starbuckin' across the universe, As a member of the Council They had to trust his word, Starbuckin' across the universe, But secretly they wondered What he'd really seen or heard. :O -- Sharon :) #79, July 12, 2002 Starbuckin' Across the Universe, Through the ship they made their way The Dreaded Demon Dancers. Starbuckin' Across the Universe, There were the Chasing Creepers And the Prankster Prancers. Starbuckin' Across the Universe, There always was a funny way For the ghouls to jest. Starbuckin' Across the Universe, They played their jokes on people To find the ghost who's best. Starbuckin' Across the Universe, They could twist and turn Any way their spirits bent. Starbuckin' Across the Universe, They joined on with the Booing Band. To the dance hall they went. Starbuckin' Across the Universe, Uri had to give up When they didn't believe his story. Starbuckin' Across the Universe, He hoped he had one last plan Before he lost his glory. Starbuckin' Across the Universe, Certainly some fine ambrosa Would bring his scary nerves to cure. Starbuckin' Across the Universe, How dare the demons frighten him, A soul man so clean and pure? Starbuckin' Across the Universe, Uri took a good furmello And blew out all the smoke. Starbuckin' Across the Universe, Surely he could handle Someone else's big bad joke. Starbuckin' Across the Universe, Who was Uri kidding? He couldn't bust a crawl-on. Starbuckin' Across the Universe, He was stuck in tangled web A Sire turned to pawn. Starbuckin' Across the Universe, Maybe if Uri hid In his closet he'd be okay. Starbuckin' Across the Universe, The skeletons in the closet Had something else to say. Robert #80, July 12, 2002 Starbuckin' Across the Universe, They rattled and they creaked, They poked him in the belly, Starbuckin' Across the Universe, And Uri left that closet, Racing willy-nilly. Starbuckin' Across the Universe, He screamed for Siress Scully, He yelled for Sire Mulder, Starbuckin' Across the Universe, He'd even take a Scooby-Doo To stop the ghostly plunder. Starbuckin' Across the Universe, Starbuck nudged Apollo As they floated past each other. Starbuckin' Across the Universe, "Shall we have a joke on him, And say Reese's a ghostbuster?" Starbuckin' Across the Universe, Apollo felt light-headed (From floating by, no doubt), Starbuckin' Across the Universe, He said, "Uri, Reese, and demon things, Now that'll be a bout!" Starbuckin' Across the Universe, "It'll surely be worth watching To see who runs the first." Starbuckin' Across the Universe, "And see who runs the longest! And see who runs the worst!" Starbuckin' Across the Universe, So that's what they told Uri, The devious warrior pair, Starbuckin' Across the Universe, Who also had been drinking and Dancing high on air. -- Sharon #81, July 12, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, Said Uri, "Reese, I want you to come here And get that demon now." Starbuckin' across the universe, Said Reese, "I'm sorry, sire, but that, My mother won't allow." Starbuckin' across the universe, The sire replied, "Your mom's not here To tell you what to do." Starbuckin' across the universe, Reese replied, "So what? I am A good son, through and through." Starbuckin' across the universe, "She told me not to chase a ghost Or demon through a ship." Starbuckin' across the universe, "Especially not the kind who'd steal A cookie with a chip." Starbuckin' across the universe, "A cookie with a chip? I want The one that pokes and creaks!" Starbuckin' across the universe, "A cookie thief? Hey, I don't care, I want the one that sneaks!" Starbuckin' across the universe, Reese drew himself to his full height And said, "Sire, you are a cad." Starbuckin' across the universe, "Even I can tell you that a Cookie-thieving ghost is bad!" Starbuckin' across the universe, The warriors heard his valiant words And all began to cheer. Starbuckin' across the universe, They thought he might not be so bad In spite of all his fear. Starbuckin' across the universe, For one who knew the value Of a cookie, baked and true, Starbuckin' across the universe, Must have some goodness deep inside That wasn't made of goo. Or does he...? Can Reese really be redeemed? Or will he fall to Pieces when the Chips are flying? Tune in next time for.... -- Sharon #82, July 12, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, "That's Uri," said Apollo, "Just for himself concerned." Starbuckin' across the universe, "He doesn't care if someone else Should happen to get burned." Starbuckin' across the universe, "Did someone burn the cookies?" Jolly asked most anxiously. Starbuckin' across the universe, "I couldn't sleep tonight if I thought Cookies burned would be!" Starbuckin' across the universe, "That's Jolly for ya," Greenbean said, As he and Brie went by. Starbuckin' across the universe, "No gravity, no lights, and Demons hiding nigh." Starbuckin' across the universe, "But Jolly's worried more about The cookie thief, the mushie ghost." Starbuckin' across the universe, "Hey," said Jolly in retort, "I know what matters most!" Mmmmm, chocolate.... -- Sharon #83, July 13, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, It wasn't just the warriors Whose treats were disappearing Starbuckin' across the universe, Throughout the fleet a ghostly hand Was setting people swearing. Starbuckin' across the universe, Cookies vanished, mushies gone, Stole without a trace. Starbuckin' across the universe, And no one even got to see The cookie-stealer's face. -- Sharon #84, July 19, 2002 Starbuckin' across the Universe, Belloby sat to tend to her hair As she did each night. Starbuckin' across the Universe, She took her brush in hand And was given such a fright. Starbuckin' across the Universe, Spirits ran through the hair care tool. Bristles waved back and forth. Starbuckin' across the Universe, The handle bent in wacky shapes. It stretched between long and short. Starbuckin' across the Universe, The scissors on the dresser Marched their cutting strut. Starbuckin' across the Universe, The came across the cookie dish But couldn't make a cut. Starbuckin' across the Universe, The siress ran for her life. She was frozen at the door. Starbuckin' across the Universe, A ghastly groan on the other side. She screamed more and more. Starbuckin' across the Universe, Sire Nelson heard the scream And rustled in bed with a start. Starbuckin' across the Universe, He recognized Belloby's voice. He heard it to his heart. Starbuckin' across the Universe, She was only one door down. From his room, it wasn't far. Starbuckin' across the Universe, He quickly darted from his sheets Suddenly he saw only stars. Starbuckin' across the Universe, Nelson fainted to the floor From a sight he couldn't believe. Starbuckin' across the Universe, All of his former wives Smiled at him sans teeth. Robert #85, July 19, 2002 Starbuckin' across the Universe, Sire Dawson heard a ruckus And jumped up from his bed, Starbuckin' across the Universe, He raced into the corridor - What had the screamers said? Starbuckin' across the Universe, "Something's on my dresser!" Well, that was number five, Starbuckin' across the Universe, And what was number four, he asked? "Get me out of here alive!" Starbuckin' across the Universe, "Where are these monsters hiding?" Was most common statement three. Starbuckin' across the Universe, Uri's shriek was number two: "There's something in here poking me!" Starbuckin' across the Universe, "Oh, no, the demons took them all! The cookies, they are gone!" Starbuckin' across the universe, Sire Dawson knew that had to be The answer number one. Starbuckin' across the Universe, And that was pretty major stuff, Essential to the fleet, Starbuckin' across the Universe, But who would solve the crisis Of no cookies left to eat? Demon-proof containers, now that's what they need! Hmm, I wonder if Colonial technology is up to that.... -- Sharon #86, July 19, 2002 Starbuckin' across the Universe, Aboard the Rising Star, That luxury ship of fame, Starbuckin' across the universe, A fire monster scampered free, Setting things aflame. Starbuckin' across the Universe, And on the Colonial Movers ship Things were getting tossed, Starbuckin' across the Universe, Those sneaky demons made sure People's stuff was getting lost. Starbuckin' across the Universe, Meanwhile the empty orphan ship (For the kids had gone away) Starbuckin' across the Universe, Was making eeries noises, Sounds like children still at play. Starbuckin' across the Universe, Now IFB reported Every strange event it heard, Starbuckin' across the Universe, But Zara's skirt kept lifting, Flying like a bird. Starbuckin' across the universe, Until the newsgal gave it up, And fled the anchor stage, Starbuckin' across the universe, Screaming, "Buy a paper! It's on the headline page!" Starbuckin' across the universe, Zed stepped in to tell the news, 'Til a thing grabbed his toupee Starbuckin' across the universe, The next thing that Zed knew, His hair was flying far away. Starbuckin' across the universe, "This refugee fleet's haunted!" He shouted with great dread. Starbuckin' across the universe, "So what?" a ghost producer asked. "You'd choose the Colonies instead?" -- Sharon #87, July 20, 2002 And a one, and a two... (I should never have put "High Spirits" in the VCR...) Starbuckin' across the universe, The program interrupted The brave warriors as they grooved, Starbuckin' across the universe, They watched the apparitions As they gently flowed and moved. Starbuckin' across the universe, The ones upon the distant screen Were certainly no less scarey Starbuckin' across the universe, Than the ones that danced beside them, Waltzing oh, so light and airy. Starbuckin' across the universe, It seemed the specters loved to dance As much as they loved cookies Starbuckin' across the universe, And that made them seem like So very much less icky-ookies. Starbuckin' across the universe, But still the warriors knew The fleet could not exist Starbuckin' across the universe, Haunted as it was, with The people far from blissed. Oh, no, whatever will they do? Especially Belloby who can't brush her hair, and Nelson who's still seeing stars, and Dawson who's still looking for the most common answer, and Adama and Tigh on the bridge still trying to figure out where the demon/monster/ghost/cookie thieves came from! -- Sharon #88, July 20, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, Away upon the Pegasus, Cain studied with a frown Starbuckin' across the universe, The scanners of Galactica And fleet turned upside down. Starbuckin' across the universe, "What happened to the fleet?" he asked "What's set them all a-tumble?" Starbuckin' across the universe, "Did they fight Cylons without me, To get into the rumble?" Starbuckin' across the universe, "It isn't that, dad," Sheba said, Tossing back her hair. Starbuckin' across the universe, "There's ghosts of every stripe aboard, Of types both dark and fair." Starbuckin' across the universe, "Shouldn't you be there too?" he asked Studying his daughter. Starbuckin' across the universe, She met his gaze but felt her knees Slowly turn to water. Starbuckin' across the universe, "I thought I ought to be with you," She muttered, her voice low. Starbuckin' across the universe, "But," he said, "I saw you there, Dancing with Apollo." Starbuckin' across the universe, "And that is where you ought to be, Aboard that ship out there." Starbuckin' across the universe, "Why'd you think I left you once, Because I didn't care?" Starbuckin' across the universe, "I left you there to dance and fight, And maybe get some nookies." Starbuckin' across the universe, "But most of all, I left you 'cuz I knew you'd get some cookies!" Starbuckin' across the universe, "Now this may be a super ship, And me the best commander," Starbuckin' across the universe, "But we've no way to stock our sweets," He admitted with great candor. Starbuckin' across the universe, "And I'll not have you do without, Not my precious little girl." Starbuckin' across the universe, "For a ship that's without cookies Is a ship stuck in a whirl." -- Sharon #89, July 23, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, And back aboard Galactica Things were not settling down. Starbuckin' across the universe, In fact one might just say that Those ghosts were goin' to town... Starbuckin' across the universe, With specters promenading, And demons dancing escort, Starbuckin' across the universe, Monsters to the starboard side, And phantoms off to port. Starbuckin' across the universe, And Adama stood there frowning, Somewhere on the bridge, Starbuckin' across the universe, Wond'rin' how to stop his ship From turning to a fridge. Starbuckin' across the universe, And how to get back gravity So one could use the stair, Starbuckin' across the universe, And how to find the cookies Than had vanished in mid-air! Starbuckin' across the universe, For the battlestar was changing To a most peculiar ship, Starbuckin' across the universe, And he had to find a way so he could Give those ghosts the slip. But what idea will he come up with next...? -- Sharon #90, July 28, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, Adama strode across the bridge And glanced at read-out screens, Starbuckin' across the universe, And listened to the comlines, Full of crewmen's screams. Starbuckin' across the universe, "Tigh," he said commandingly, "We've got to save our crew." Starbuckin' across the universe, "And end this ghostly menace That's been bugging me and you." Starbuckin' across the universe, "We need to stop the phantoms That are bothering the men." Starbuckin' across the universe, "And stop the mean old demons That pop up now and then." Starbuckin' across the universe, Said Tigh, "I think you're right, sir. We've got to do our best." Starbuckin' across the universe, "To save the people of our fleet And escape this spectral nest." Starbuckin' across the universe, "But we don't know where they come from, Or what these demons need." Starbuckin' across the universe, "Except, of course, the cookies, that They've whisked away with speed." Starbuckin' across the universe, "That may be the key, Tigh, The way they steal and dance." Starbuckin" across the universe, "You know I do agree, sir, On you I'll always chance." Starbuckin' across the universe, "I know you do agree, Tigh, You're always good at that." Starbuckin' across the universe, Planning then to think a bit, Adama downward sat. Starbuckin' across the universe, Alas, his chair was floating, And he missed it in mid-air. Starbuckin' across the universe, Next thing he knew, his tush was sore, With crewmen trying not to stare. Starbuckin' across the universe, "That's it!" he bellowed angrily. "That is the final straw!" Starbuckin' across the universe, "We're going to stop this madness, They'll find I'm not in awe!" Starbuckin' across the universe, "Strike up the band, bring forth the cook, We'll set 'em all to work!" Starbuckin' across the universe, "We'll find whoever started this, We'll stop the brazen jerk!" (Do you realize, looking at individual verses, that we're over 265 verses long?) -- Sharon #91, August 2, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, And so the music sounded out, The kitchen scents arose, Starbuckin' across the universe, The ghosts were sure to follow Their senses - ear and nose. -- Sharon Summary of the Ghost-capades: The one downfall of this new house is the volunteer fire department is only a few blocks away. Now I know exactly what the Colonial Warriors feel as the red alert Klaxon wakes them from their sleep. Let's see. Gravity went berserk. Children and dancers floating through the air. Some ghoul stole Jolly's cookies. How dare the beast? Reese was slimed. Uri hid in the closet, but was quickly chased out by the skeletons. Starbuck and Apollo were also drinking and floating, jibing about Uri and Reese. Reese chickens out and says he ain't chasing no ghost. Everyone has priorities right about their cookies except Uri. A ghost spooked Belloby's brush. Sire Nelson heard the scream next door and went to respond, but fainted before he reached the door at the site of all the ghost of his former wives. Sire Dawson had to find out the top five answers from the Ghost Survey. "Survey Said?" BOO! SCREAM! EEK! FAINT! Zara is spooked at her anchor desk. Zed lost his toupee. Cain notices the fleet problems and tells Sheba why he really left her behind - for dancing and cookie reasons. Adama and Tigh wondered what they could do. When Adama lost his command chair to the ghosts, that was the last straw. #92, August 6, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, Master Cookie Chef Tigger Sent his crews to bake. Starbuckin' across the universe, The flour went a stirring. The chips into a shake. Starbuckin' across the universe, Butter bars slid everywhere. Their slipperiness was there. Starbuckin' across the universe, The sugar bins were opened Giving taste so sweet and fair. Starbuckin' across the universe, Everything in motion Aboard the Bakery Ship. Starbuckin' across the universe, In charge of all this crisis Adama made a special trip Starbuckin' across the universe, He had to surely test All the cookies while they're hot. Starbuckin' across the universe, For if there was one bad cookie Their hopes would all be shot. Starbuckin' across the universe, Adama had to wonder If the ghost could really smell. Starbuckin' across the universe, Even if they didn't The cookies were a sure sell. Starbuckin' across the universe, He thought and pondered longingly For a backup plan to aid. Starbuckin' across the universe, He needed some more sweet treats Before a decision could be made. Starbuckin' across the universe, What if they placed signs All around the fleet? Starbuckin' across the universe, No, cause people would rush in All covered in ghost white sheets. Starbuckin' across the universe, Adama had to think some more For another plan. Starbuckin' across the universe, He ate up all the cookies That were sitting in the pan. Robert #93, August 9, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, Apollo floated around the G Looking for his dad. Starbuckin' across the universe, He went up to Tigh and asked, "Is it really bad?" Starbuckin' across the universe, "The BakeryShip can't make enough," Tight said, "To keep up with demand." Starbuckin' across the universe, "The cookies are my favorite. They are very grand." Starbuckin' across the universe, When the gravity came back on, The short time that it was. Starbuckin' across the universe, Jolly began his mission And gathered up his pals. Starbuckin' across the universe, They set up barracks right inside Their favorite mess hall. Starbuckin' across the universe, Jolly headed to the front. There wasn't time to stall. Starbuckin' across the universe, "We are gathered here today For our most important mission." Starbuckin' across the universe, "This is of vital consequence. We must make our decision." Starbuckin' across the universe, "Which is a greater threat To this spacing rag tag fleet?" Starbuckin' across the universe, "Cylons of the tin kind, Or ghosts stealing cookie sheets?" Starbuckin' across the universe, Jolly raised up his fist. "Of this I have to say." Starbuckin' across the universe, "The cookie stealing has to stop On this very day." Starbuckin' across the universe, The crowd of Warriors raised their heads And let out a sweet cheer. Starbuckin' across the universe, One of them raised his hand, "Do we also get some beer?" Starbuckin' across the universe, Everybody looked at him In a stunned silence. Starbuckin' across the universe, Did this dude really ask That frothy ale sentence? Starbuckin' across the universe, The dude he had to back it up With a reason very true. Starbuckin' across the universe, "What are cookies without ale? I haven't got a clue." Starbuckin' across the universe, Jolly took the lead again. He had a point to make. Starbuckin' across the universe, "We're going to get the ale and cookies. We might even have some cake." Starbuckin' across the universe, "It's off we go to find the ghost And show them who's the boss." Starbuckin' across the universe, "We'll fight them if we have to With toothpaste and dental floss." Robert #94, August 12, 2002 Starbuckin' across the universe, So off the jolly warriors went, Weapons in their hand. Starbuckin' across the universe, Bound to offer challenge to The ghostly demon band. Starbuckin' across the universe, They met them in the corridor, They found them in the hall, Starbuckin' across the universe, They tracked them through the landing bay, They did not pause or stall. Starbuckin' across the universe, They drove those phantom cookie thieves Through every window port, Starbuckin' across the universe, And sent them out a-yelpin', No longer having sport. Starbuckin' across the universe, For t'was a very serious thing To save those cookies warm, Starbuckin' across the universe, And drive them out, and far away, The mushie-stealing swarm. Starbuckin' across the universe, Then with their ship-home safe once more For mushie-eating men, Starbuckin' across the universe, The warriors settled down to rest To build their strength again. Starbuckin' across the universe, For they had other things to do With their noble mission done, Starbuckin' across the universe, For life, it did not stop with The cookie challenge won. So now they must move on to...? :) -- Sharon #95, August 14, 2002 As the Galactica and said fleet is still trying to recover from all the ghostly problems... Starbuckin' across the universe, Triad Championships were next in line. The balls were bouncing fast. Starbuckin' across the universe, The teams were more improved, Much better from the past. Starbuckin' across the universe, Gravity still had problems Sending games in to loops. Starbuckin' across the universe, The teams were having problems Putting the Triad balls through hoops.
