Happy First Contact Day!!

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

On this day, April 5th 2063 humankind makes its first (official) contact with an alien species.

It was the beginning of a beautiful relationship, humankind with the stars.

We went on to make many more memorable first contacts!

Thank Providence for bénévolent aliens and their active interest in $aving Humanity from itself, in the STAR TREK universe ... à votre santé!

No, that's being celebrated on MU Trek BBS, where we all have goatees and tend to be unnecessarily violent.

Why is it April 5th anyway? I seem to have a half-memory of Ron Moore saying because it was his friends birthday maybe? Or something like that

I kind of like that First Contact Day and Easter fell on the same day this year. Plus we're still in Passover. So happy whatever-you-celebrate, Everyone!

Damn. Beat me to it.

Do you think Roddenberry is only dyeing the top of his hair in that picture?

I prefer to think that this is the only hair that he dyes.

Perhaps the carpet doesn't match the drapes either.

Live long and prosper? More like long live the Terran Empire!

Okay that wins!

Hmmmm....something missing from that cake.

 

[Pondwater]

Break out the tequila!

More frosting near the head?
