Blue Warp Nacelles?

[Hopeful Romantic]

Love the Gorn in the sombrero, B_n_B.

And the tribble gazing soulfully out at the Vegas skyline...priceless.

Here's a li'l memento for you, number6....

Even ZZ Top is getting in on the sombrero phenomenon.

this un where they're wearing the 'skant' uniform.

Ahhh, okay. I didn't know it was called that.

skant=skirt+pant
When I was a little kid they were called Koohlats (spelling?). I've also heard the term 'skorts'=skirt+shorts.

 

[Outpost4]

I also knew them as koolats (I think that's how that's spelled) growing up, but back then I also wore shorts and never went to Bermuda.

I heard skants when TNG came out and people went, WTF are those?

I think a more appropriate term would be skanks because of the saucy nature of folks who wore them. First season TNG, Troi looked like a skank.

Culottes, perhaps?

Awesome! Way to go, Bak! I love the skant picture

Thanks! But what's a skant picture?

The skant is so universally reviled, I'm surprised you didn't know

I bow to your superior knowledge of arcane fashions.

 

[M'Sharak]

I'm not sure, but I think I've been zinged.

 

[Outpost4]

I'm sure.

I'll give you a chance to recover. See if you can top Rock Me Gently in this thread.

What is it they say? Ignorance is bliss?

Ok, I have been laughing my ass off at this thread, particularly at all the artistic absurdity lol.

You guys truly are masters.

I'm gonna sound like a total moron though. Where did all this sombrero stuff come from?

At first I thought that it had to do with Mexicans being portrayed in the new upcoming movie. Then I thought maybe it had to do with the trailer and the saucer section of the "new" Enterprise.

How close am I? am I totally off?

 

[archeryguy1701]

^I think it was Cogley making a comment on how the Enterprise that the folks here were "remaking" should have a sombrero instead of a saucer section. The sombrero was a staple of all Enterprise redesigns to follow, and eventually it turned inot sombrero-izing everything that moves.

It all started with this:

Should the "re-imagined" NCC-1701 have blue warp nacells as the Enterprise NX-01 and C through E have? I'd personally like to see it.

Then Samuel T. Cogley said this:

The port nacelle should be blue, and the starboard nacelle should be hot pink.

And the blue nacelle should be played by William Shatner.

Anyone ready with the photoshop?

Let's do some pre-vis.

Abrams!

Listen to the fans!!! This is what we want!!!!

Then...

NOW we're getting somewhere. Can we put Worf's face where the deflector dish should be? You know, to scare away villains?

Look at it again. The portly nacelle doubles as a Shatner Pez dispenser.

He shoots Pez out of his mouth at hostile incoming.

Can we add that?

(Or maybe Smarties, instead, since the nacelles are round.)

john1701 supplied the next prototype for the yet-unnamed Sombreroprise:

Samuel T. Cogley then added "And can we have an actual Pez candy (or approximation) being shot out of Shatner's mouth (but not obscuring his face?)."

PKTrekGirl chimed in, pointing out that she thought "...it would be nice if we hung some Christmas lights around the edges of the saucer section. You know - give it that festive touch."

Gep Malakai added teh lights and flames:

There were already plans to add vectoring nacelles and twinkling lights to the still-in-development Sombreroprise, but Samuel T. Cogley came up with the most important post in the whole thread:

And is there any way we can make the saucer section look more like a sombrero? Or maybe put a sombrero on top of the saucer section?

With that post, a legend was born, and NCC-1701 christened this new creation the Sombreroprise:

Where the hell is Belar (NCC-1701)when we need him? That guy is the friggin' MASTER of the animated .gif

Where he is? Funnily enough he was already working on an animation of the new Sombreroprise. Here it is:

Oh, and that was very charming, PKTrekGirl! Thank you.

Samuel T. Cogley then suggested that the eyes be added:

I'm wondering if it needs Cookie Monster eyes, either on top of or just underneath the saucer section. (With one of the two pupils swirling around.) Too much?

NCC-1701 added them and we ended up with this:

EliyahuQeoni then added a couple more items to the almighty Sombreroprise:

Well, since the Fuzzy Dice seemed to be a popular addition, I added them to the larger image & threw in Mr Fusion at no extra charge

^^WHat an excellent chronology my man!

Indeed. Very well done, 26138! Next time someone asks about the origins of the Sombreroprise phenomenon I'm just gonna link to your post.

 

[GalaxyX]

LMAO that was great!!!! Well, here's to the Sombreroprise. I for one am looking forward to the movie.

The best animation was the Sombrero Generations, and NOW I understand the Menorah! hah hah

The LCARS blueprints were just awesomeness though.

If there's ever a convention here in Toronto, I'm going just to wear a Sombrero lol
