didn't read the fine print when he sent in for his Super Duper Secret
Decoder Ring from the back of his Ranger Rick magazine.

bake him his favorite pineapple upside down cake ever again if he ever
ratted on her to Dear Old Dad).
(03) He accidentally filled out the wrong Section on his income tax form.
(04) It was really his evil twin.
(05) Just to be funny, the rest of crew told him
this was supposed to be the MU
episode.

advice.
(12) In Black Ops, no one laughs at you for writing "Blowing Things Up" as a
hobby on the job application.

(14) In Section 31, he doesn't have to tolerate
jokes about his accent (or his wedgies)

(17)
Black Ops was offering merit badges.
(18) Ruby once told him she had a “thing” for spies.
(19) He had the misfortune to walk past a Black Ops Recruiting Office after
watching a 48-hour James Bond marathon on TBS.
(20) It gave him a justification for putting state-of-the-art surveillance
cameras in Trip’s shower.
(21) In
Black Ops, being small is an advantage: it lets you sqiggle into the dark
places no one else will enter.
(22)
He heard that BAD BOYS have more fun.
(23) He heard Trip had a real thing for BAD boys.
(24) He wanted to see what it would take to get the Captain to spank him.

figured everythng would be okay, but then he lost his flashy-thingy.

prefers wearing black underwear to
work.
(35) Right after he signed on the NX-01, Captain Archer told the crew

weapons. Mal's the only one that actually believed him. He was so sorely
disappointed that he started floating his resume on the Q.T.
(36) He found out Captain Ponytail is a member of Section 31, and figured
this was his only chance of getting a transfer to her ship. (Captain Archer
didn't appreciate it when Malcolm walked into his Ready Room and said, "ME
TOO".)
ARCHER: What you do mean, you too?
MALCOLM: No sir, not U2 -- me too.
ARCHER: U2Me2? Are you jumping franchises?
MALCOLM: No, sir, you see -- oh --
ARCHER: C3PO, right! Well, Anthony Daniels was British, and you can be
suitably priggish and fussy --
MALCOLM: "Priggish"?
ARCHER: -- but don't you think you're a little short for that costume?
MALCOLM: Sir, could you just stand right there for a moment?
ARCHER: Sure, why?
MALCOLM: Because Thor's Hammer of Smiting is only good for one swing per day,
and I'd hate to miss.
