Contest: ENTER ENT Caption Competition #115: Vox Spider

[Nebusj]

First, I'd like to thank everyone in the group for being here. I once again let the competition run longer than I wanted to. I'd had a heck of a couple months, and losing the time to spend on TrekBBS was the least bad part of it. On the bright side, I finished the Michigan State Pinball Championship in twelfth place, which isn't bad. So let's put contest 114 to rest and present to you ... the winners!

The first winner is the Belly Laugh That Could Save Your Life ---

And now, a lesson in fire safety! Here are some handy tips for the 21st and 22nd centuries:

(and I must ask you to go look at it directly as I'm not allowed to post something with quite so many images.)

Winning the medallion for Or As We Call It, Tuesday:

Annonymous Omnipotent All Powerful Unseen Space Alien Voice: "You're traveling through another star system; a star system of not only no sight or sound of ships, except mine. A journey into a freightening system who's boundaries are that of anything more interesting than Goddamn alien space NAZI's. Your next stop: the Great Barrier zone."

The Universal Winning Joke:

Archer: "Who?"

For the Laugh About It, Shout About It, When You've Got To Choose certificate:

"Get out of here! If you Earthlings could have a Muslim ban, then we Tandarans can have a Suli ban!"

The Other Universal Winning Joke:

Travis: I think you made a mistake with the head, I'm not T'pol

Getting special recognition for Correctly Choosing The Best Monty Python Movie:

Bad Idea #359: Getting anywhere near Phlox with sneezing powder. Vengeance is instantaneous.

 

[tharpdevenport]

"Star Trek: Ghostbusters"

"He slimed me."

Trip (over the comm): "Exto-plasmic residue."

Phlox (over the comm): "Captain, get a sample of that."

Trip (over the comm): "It's the real thing."

Archer: "Somebody blows their nose and you wanna keep it?"

 

[Finn]

Archer: (OS) Watch. I can make him howl like a banshee. "When I was in my early twenties, I went to Africa...."

Even in the early days of casting for Enterprise`s production of "A Charlie Brown Christmas", there was little doubt who would land the coveted role of Snoopy.

Archer: "So that translator of yours can understand Beagle, too? All right, what's he saying?"
Sato: "Well, I've been able to narrow it down to one of three things; either he has a thorn in his paw, you're out of doggy treats, or we're about to be hailed by the Red Baron."

Archer: "Almost done with my mixtape, but I think it needs a little more gazelle bell..."

Alas, even Captain Archer wasn't immune from the vaudeville hook.

 

[tharpdevenport]

Starfleet Commander: "Isn;t it amazing, Archer? Touch screen buttons, large screens and readable text."

Archer: "It certainly is, sir."

SC: "Just wait until you see the amazing advancements in technology we have in the works."

Archer: "Interesting. Like what?"

SC: "Well, first we're going to eliminate the touch screen buttons and put light-up big push buttons; and we won't label most of them. Then we'll get rid of the readable display screens and replace them with more unlabdled buttons and a viewer you have to uncomfortably bend over and look into. Way more advanced!"

 

[T'Ressa Dax]

Archer: You are such a ham, Porthos. But you're still not getting any cheese.

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

Guy on the right: "Will you two stop watching cat videos already?"

Kreetassan #1: They're screwed.
Kreetassan #2: They're dead.
Kreetassan #3: (pause) Did I leave the iron on?

 

[Finn]

Captain's Log: The crew hasn't been able to sleep ever since we crippled into a planetary system with twelve moons currently aligned as full moons. Trip is rushing to get the warp engines back on. But like rest of us, he hasn't been getting enough sleep...

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

Sato investigates the etymology of "do it for the vine".
