Contest: VOTE TNG Caption This! #490: An excuse to say "Shut up Wesley!" a lot
- Thread starter LeadHead
- Start date
Yeah, sorry should have asked the mods - didn't realize that borrowing photoshopped pics was so common.I'm far from the first to do this. There have been caption contests where few pages consisted of several posters using the same photoshopped picture with different captions, without giving credit. Even one or two of my photoshopped pictures were used by others way back without giving me credit a way back, IIRC.
Should we all give credit when using a photoshopped picture for different take on the captions..., @Gep Malakai or @Mutai Sho-Rin ?
Santa Garrus?
EDIT: I"ll also edit the first post since it came off the wrong way IMO.

I don't have any board rule of personal opinion on this. I've been moderating this forum for a few years now and the issue has never come up before. I believe most posters browse through the existing posts before making their own efforts and will see the original Photoshop effort and note its creator. Unless Gep Malakai objects, I'm content to let a simple tradition stand.
Absolutely not a problem. Your concern for authorship and attribution are welcome and in almost any other thread would be spot on. Thanks to LeadHead (by any other name), this has a life and a history of its own.
I think it usually occurs when someone first "borrows" a photoshopped picture and other posters likes it and uses it.
Alright.
The credit makes my ego get bigger, but aside from that I don't care.
Go ahead, stroke your ego. I liked the...Mad Max photoshop and thought of the Argo scene
I've long suspected that the Argo scene was cooked up by Patrick Stewart himself, who just wanted an excuse to run around the set in a monster truck. 
Wesley: Hmm, you know, if we were to use Dark Matter to create an engine, then the ship would stay stationary and the universe would move around us!
Cubert Farnsworth: Shut up, Wesley, that's my idea!
Picard: Mr. Crusher, do you understand?
Wesley: Yes sir, I need to focus more on navigation or Commander Riker will hit me with his stinknuts.
Riker: Shut up, Wesley!
Picard: Be careful, Mr. Crusher, you need to initiate the sequence without waking Mr. Data.
Wesley: Understood, Sir.
Picard: Shut up, Wesley!
Wesley: I know, I know, "Shut up, Wesley."
LaForge: No, I seriously want your opinion.
Wesley: It seems that the nanites have penetrated the consoles.
LaForge: Just kidding, shut up, Wesley!
Wesley: Sir, I need you to put those markers in the exact locations I'm giving you so we can triangulate a signal.
Picard: But I was going into Tosche station to pick up some power converters.
Wesley: Huh?
Picard: Shut up, Wesley!
How are you handling the helm, Mister Crusher?
I'm "Crushin' it".
...
I'm gonna put that on a T shirt.
...
Cause it's my name AND what I do.
...
Kinda like Commander Data....
...
Or Commander LaForge, or...
<sigh>
Shutting up, sir.
Wesley: You forgot to carry the 2
Data: Boy I will wedgie you a tiny white warp bubble if you don't step off.
Geordi: Space ants?
Wesley: No, nanorobotic, super-cyborg ants.
Geordi: Sigh. I'lll get the hose.
Wesley: Don't you mean - the multiphasic hyper-nozzle?
I'm just adjusting my mullet hat and I'll be ready, sir.
It's not a mullet hat! It's a Starfleet-issued balaclava!
Isn't that some kind of cake?
You're thinking of a baklava.
Why would Starfleet want us to wear cakes on our heads?
Look, a balaclava is a headpiece covering all areas around the face. A baklava is a kind of sweet cake. Do you really think Starfleet wants us to survive exposure on a desert planet by wearing a cake on our heads??
According to Siri, it's not just a normal cake, but a rich Middle Eastern cake made of thin layers of flaky pastry filled with nuts and honey.
Does that make any sense??
Maybe Starfleet wants us to have a nice nosh.
THERE IS NO CAKE!!!
Is this like the time you asked for tea and biscuits? And then pretended you ordered cookies?

WESLEY: Hey...this isn't what stars should look like when you're traveling a thousand times the speed of light. How has anyone not noticed this before?
PICARD: Wesley, I hate to break it to you, but I just realized how unfair it is to give you a bridge position over all the people who worked for years to earn it.
WESLEY: Oh, so I should tell Mom you were mean to me?
PICARD: ...As you were, Ensign.
DATA: We have five minutes until the ship explodes.
PICARD: God damn it. Okay. Wesley, do your thing.
WESLEY: I just invented a new power source that can get us out of this crisis!
PICARD: ... *sigh*
Wesley was a little bit too inspired when he saw Porky's.
WESLEY: Ensign's log. Ever since we became stranded on the desert planet, Captain Picard has been reenacting scenes from the 20th century Earth film "Lawrence Of Arabia".
Geordi: Oh no it's stuck
Wesley: A Fart Bar??
Wesley: Hang on a second...if the windows are angled inwards doesn't that mean we're really on deck 11?
Guinan: It's called branding!
Picard: Do you like wrestling movies Wes?
Wesley: Don't worry Sir, I'll rescue Laxwana for you!
Geordi: OK, we'll get a cleaner in rather than letting the ship do it itself.
Picard: Do you really think that tricorder will be as useful as these two sticks?
