Today's XKCD is a TNG-related joke.

 

[GNDN]

Aaaaamusing... never heard of XKCD, however

 

[Smellincoffee]

You may be in for a treat, then...it's a comic with a lot of science/geek humor.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

What would Tamarian stand-up comedy be like?

"Temba, flew in...his arms tired."

"My wife...taken, please?"

 

[S'kai]

Ogoth, his posts on TrekBBS . . .

 

[Gary7]

Shaka... when the walls fell again, and again, and again...

Tar muck and salad at Bonanza.

 

[Herkimer Jitty]

Berman and Braga... when the ratings fell.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

"My ass on the ground...when the ladder fell!"

 

[Gojira]

Berman and Braga... when the ratings fell.

That was a good one!

 

[DeepSpaceWine]

Great episode, but so ripe for parody.

(imagines Picards's voice
Picard and Darmok... at Tahiti
The drinks this tall (hands gesture vertically)
The natives... their breasts this big (hands gesture horizontally, somewhat cupped)
Shaka! The gates opened!
Temba! His trousers dropped!


And a few more:
Tasha Yar
Tasha Yar at Vagra II
A tar man, a tar man of great evil.
Tasha Yar in the tar,
her face marked
Tasha Yar, her butt parked.
Yar, her soul away very far.

Commander Riker
Commander Riker at Surata IV
A vine with a thorn
A show. A show in a bottle.
A thorn filled with microbes.
Bad memories.
The gates open, bad memories flood.
Shaka. A clip show.
Shaka. Our faces red.

 

[CaptainStoner]

Shaka, when my balls fell.

 

[Bob Karo]

Pakleds, their bus short.

 

[Gary7]

Tamarian:
Metaphor?
Kadir, beneath Mo Moteh.
Sokath, his eyes still covered.
Shaka, when the walls fell.

Earthling:
I know what you mean. How the heck you people get anything done is beyond me.

Tamarian:
Sokath, his eyes opened!

 

[Holdfast]

Holdfast, on the floor laughing

Great thread guys.

 

[Distorted Humor]

Explaining the war in Iraq...

Sisko, with the romulans


(Ducks)

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

"The Aristocrats"

 

[Piano&Startrek]

Berman and Braga... when the ratings fell.

Nice.

I've been an XKCD fan for some time now. This one's great.

 

[hmbnimbus]

Temba, his arms wide!

*hugs*

Silly premise, this communication via metaphor. No way you can do this and convey technical details in any reasonable amount of time. But in any case, it was such an enjoyable episode.
