^^^*raises hand* Me.

Speaking of Rene Auberjonois, here's a random [and weird] bit of trivia: he once played a talking, alcoholic skeleton in animated The Last Unicorn. Look it up and see it for yourself; it's...unsettling.

You just wrote that because, as Santa, you are always wearing red shirts ... and jackets, hats and pants!

^Me, too, but not as a talking alcoholic skeleton. :pale: :pale: Especially when he starts screeching at the main character and the skull's eyes glow red. :skull: Funnily enough, that was the first time I ever heard his voice, and I never would have equated the skeleton with Odo if I hadn't looked at a wiki site of The Last Unicorn recently.

Of all the Star Trek musical pieces, setting aside the main series themes, this is hands down the greatest -- a real masterpiece in any context, here in an orchestral version:

Now here's a thought: do substantially unusual aliens [like the Changelings or Trill, or even Betazoid, for that matter] have nation anthems? Do the Klingons or Romulans or Cardassians? Who knows?

^^Can you imagine Changelings trying to play baseball as a collective giant ocean/sea/lake/whatever they are? :lol:
