    Because of his incompetence as a warrior, the Klingon military relegated the Son of Worf to serve in a mess hall on Quo'nos, where he processes their equivalent of cheese. He's known as "Alexander the Grater".

    That's because that show knew how to cook! :devil:

    And it drives me nuts that various assorted clips from series 1-3 aren't on youtube as there's a lot of great stuff in amongst the episodes, of which many build up on the individual scenes to give terrific payoffs later on*. Which might be a reason why; considering Lenny Henry and Gordon Ramsay had a lovely interview together and "Chef!" took place decades earlier and all:


    Great, now I'm hungry again and I just ate lunch 23 minutes and 47 seconds ago...


    * Never mind the series-long arcs that build on all that, on top of the vignettes and in-episode payoffs! This show was so well-crafted, and ahead of its time in so many ways -- and perfectly done. Especially the first series but I adore all three for their own merits and worldbuilding... my all-time favorite episode is "Masterchef!", though that's usually best watched after all of series 1 and the premiere of 2 to get enough character development in... but all in proper chronological order definitely has far more payoffs than snooze-inducing moments... but I digress.​

    They cut off the video at the best part:



    :guffaw: That movie was so insanely over the top, and had to be. There's some great making-of interviews from the actors and writers about it as well that are highly recommended.


    The TV version replaces the original sound effects as heard in that clip to some of cows mooing, which renders nobody the ability to milk that joke...

    Ironic that a film likely to be canceled for racist language was one of the most savagely anti-racist films in pop culture.

    If Migleemo is famously the worst Counselor in the fleet, but he still keeps his post, he must be doing something to curry flavor with Captain Freeman.

    What was John de Lancie's Halloween costume?
    DraQula!



    Did you hear about Shakespeare's new Vulcan play?

    It's called LIVE LONG AND PROSPERO!

    Those both sound like unused ideas for Trek episode titles.

    My wife and I have been on a Halloween joke kick today.

    Another from her:

    Where do ghosts train for Halloween season?

    At Boo camp.

    I have never eaten curry. I've heard it's very spicy so I probably wouldn't enjoy it. No offense intended to @Birb-of-Prey of course.

    Then again, the grasshoppers I ate in Seattle were also extremely spicy, and they were delicious...

    "Shinzon? More like Shinzoff." - Picard when his clone died, probably.
