I guess the writers of Nemesis never went to this restaurant

I didn't click on the link.
Correct me if you must, but I would assume that writers spend a lot of time in restaurants. They get as hungry as non writers do.
 
I thought writers always called the local sandwich shop for delivery. That's what Rob and Buddy and Sally did on The Dick Van Dyke Show.
 
smart people get jokes.

Around here, if the first post of a thread contains only a link and nothing else, it's often thought to be spam. That's what the moderator was trying to tell you.

Thank you, Melakon. That was precisely my point. I clicked on and got the joke. However, it simply isn't wise to post a link without further comment.

Joke's not really that funny in the first place (says a member of MENSA).

Sorry gotta disagree. The joke is a picture, has to be a link because if I post the picture itself I'm told it's bandwidth theft. If one has to explain a joke it's not funny, so just I wrote a title contextualizing it to Star Trek, I never thought anyone would be so dumb as to suppose it's a restaurant ad. And btw it's hard to come with new topics or jokes about a movie that's 10+ years old and not very good, if all posts must be brilliant so this board risks turning into a frozen desert. Loose the tie.

Agreed. It's rather lacking in subtlety, as well (says a member of the Loyal Order of the Moose).

:D

You didn't contextualize it enough. A better explanation is required in the future if you want to do something like this again.

I won't. Happy moderating.
