I have a "...just dont get caught" philosophy.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Messing with drunks should be our national pastime.

Just watched First Contact again for the 124th time :)

Anyone else notice that when Cochrane, Riker and LaForge were in the Phoenix cockpit, their blue jumpsuits were almost exactly the same as the uniforms in ENT?

Never noticed that before. A nice nod by whoever did the costume designs on ENT.

I'd guess it was a coincidence.

Agreed. And ENT would have improved if it included more Steppenwolf and/or Roy Orbison.
