    So I was randomly on DS9 waiting on a TFO queue and stopped to peruse the promenade directory sign today. I don't know whether to be disturbed or curious as to what "Pancho's Happy Bottom Riding Club" may be.

    eek!

    The real Happy Bottom Riding Club was a famous restaurant, ranch and hotel in California, located near what became Edwards Air Force Base. it was owned by a lady called Florence Lowe "Pancho" Barnes.

    The restaurant itself was destroyed by fire in 1953. Barnes had been in a court battle with the Air Force at the time (they were attempting to buy the land and a dispute erupted that severely eroded her business) - she subsequently won the court ruling which cleared her name of various rumours flying about and gained her a fair price for the land.

    Interesting trivia. I figured there must have been some story behind it, but just seeing that label totally at random was amusing to my demented mind. Evil

    THanks! I love trivia like that (haven't gotten to reading those books yet, I guess... Im still working my way up the chronology, started from the first TNG book).

    And also... now I want my own private fleet... Looks like it needs 5 players to work together but afterwards they can drop and have just a single player? I guess they would need to be fleetless in order to be able to create a new fleet too?
