From Offensive

...to--a few dabs of war-paint less and some other minor costume changes later--cool with the elders.

...though still a bit too much like the characters from my least favorite Star Trek Episode.

I'm having a hard time seeing how the outfits are offensive. Tasteless, maybe. I think people need to dial their offensiveness meters back a notch or two.

All seems to have worked out. ALthough the Aussies are still complaining.

Although fun to see, I find that when costumes are too elaborate, they distract from my ability to appreciate the skaters skills.

You've gone too far this time BCL! Least favourite Star Trek episode ever!!!

1. "GOIN' TO EDEN YEAAAAH BROTHER!!"

2. "Well click my heels and jump for joy, I gotta clean bill of health from Dr. McCoy!!"

3. Spock jamming with the spacehippies.

What were you smokin' when you decided that - or correction what weren't you smokin'!!

It isn't enough for Spock to jam with the space hippies. The tune has to ROCK. That tune didn't rock.

Okay, let everyone be the judge what say you?

In fairness to the market, the original operational requirement list for the new supply details commodity tips , intraday tips for was ridiculous and probably unachievable. They were to serve as resupply vessels, hospital ships, troop transports, helicopter carriers, and probably a few other things. The market just wanted supply vessels that doubled as hospital ships, but the other military branches wanted everything plus the kitchen sink added on.
That said, the procurement of new supply vessels is still a boondoggle, even with the operational requirements scaled back to reasonable proportions.
