Blue Warp Nacelles?

[grabmygoblin]

Ok, I'm going to leak this. I can't wait any longer.

My friends of the Trek XI forum...this is for you.

truly, a labor of love!

Another try ...

But I think I like your meta version more ...

Damn it NCC-1701! I was torn between my original avatar and asking you if it was okay I spliced it with your excellent riposte as an alternating GIF and then you provide yet a third option!

But seriously, excellent job on both. I'm genuinely flattered.

Sorry.

You're welcome, Kegek. I'm just glad you get what little there is to get about the sombrero phenomenon.

I told you a sombrero could show up anywhere -

I guess it's definitive proof that the moon landings were faked.

You bet. In the Mexican desert.

Well, I opted for my version. It's definitely the least impressive of the three visually, but even that aspect of it suits me (the original avatar isn't a master of framing). Much thanks again to NCC-1701 for his truly excellent alternatives, specially the on-the-spot response avatar, the latter of which was very funny.

this is from an article in wired that also credits trek movie.
it is about the upcoming trek stuff and i just saw this item mentioned..

wired blog article

Fans can look forward to a potentially wallet-draining deluge of figures,
toys (including Barbie-themed Trek dolls), games
(such as a Scene-It DVD trivia release),
t-shirts, costumes, artwork, Pez dispensers, etc.

Knowledge of one product has been released already. Star Trek PEZ candy dispensers will be released in September or October of this year in an eight dispenser/candy gift pack. The dispensers will feature the original series cast, including: Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Uhura, Sulu and Chekov. There will also be a NCC-1701 Enterprise dispenser. The set will have a limited run of 250,000 units.

uh oh..
i guess that was the inspiration for the pez then /
never mind..

Au contraire, mon cher Hare -- the PEZ-dispenser nacelles were independently conceived and executed here weeks in advance of any of these news items' release. I was merely posting some additional info to complement yours. (Took a little searching to remember where I'd seen it; I had foolishly assumed that it had already been posted here and discovered instead that someone had had the nerve to post it in another forum!

As I said, I, too, think your version of the avatar suits you best. And again, you're welcome. I just wasted an hour or so on creating them. ()

Well, that one you did gave me a really big laugh.

So not completely wasted.

Wow, that's way cool! If you read this, Anthony: Thank you!

Oh, and while we're at it: Any word from JJ's gang on the sombrerofied image?

Your new AV is awesome, NCC

Your new AV is awesome, NCC

Thanks, Jon!

Wouldn't YOU be pissed if you were given a sombrero that was ruined the first time you tried it on?
