Star Trek lines you use in your life at times.

Oh, and I have made both personal and 'business" decisions, concluding that the needs of the Many or the Few outweigh the needs of the other.

But I never went in no warp core for no body, 'cause my Mama didn't raise no fool!

Anyway, in real life, when I'm waiting for a spot in a crowded parking lot to open up, and I see someone just sitting idly by in their car, not moving, I tend to resort to this:

Sweet Jesus on the Bridge, if this were only really possible!!! :guffaw: :techman:
 
I use 'Illogical' and 'logical' naturally.

The amusing one that comes to mind is that I have, while alone after a bad day/event/moment sighed to myself and declared:

"computer, end program...computer...computer? No?...fine..." ;)
 
I've never really found myself using Trek lines in real conversation. I think Trek is too optimistic for real life.:shrug:

While not real life, the way Crimson Tide used Star Trek lines was really relatable to this Trekkie right here (and helped contextualize the sailor's duty for his own confidence).

I actually have that recorded as a voice clip on my phone and often play it when something stupid happens at work.

Also I've been known to resort to either say or play on my phone "KKKKAAAAAAHHHHHHHNNNNNNN!!!!!!" when someone does something stupid or pisses me off.......mostly work or government related.
 
I've paraphrased this one in a few lectures:

"They'd come back covered in blood but they felt clean! Now why did they feel that way, Major? Because they were clean!" -- Aamin Marritza
 
Another one that has inspired me is when Picard is talking to some Admiral over subspace about some reception or something Picard does not want to attend and the Enterprise is having technical trouble which delays it getting there and the Admiral asks Picard if he's trying to skip out on the function.

Picard's response is something like "No not at all. In fact I think it'll be really.........fun."
 
While not an actual quote, I would sometimes amuse my fellow Trek friends (and even won a couple prizes at a Trek convention) with my impersonation of Captain Picard (in the day when he didn't seem to know that his ship had these things called phasers and photon torpedoes)....and I would say:

"Romulan Warbird, this is Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Federation Starship Enterprise! You have violated Federation territory! If you do not withdraw immediately I shall..... I shall.... I shall order you to withdraw again!"

:D

Oh, I love this one!!! :techman:

Wish BBS had VoicePost, so I/We could hear that ! :lol:

"I don't trust men who smile too much" Kor-Errand of Mercy


Indeed...but we mean well! :)
 
"In all trust, there is the possibility of betrayal. Without trust, there's no friendship, no closeness. None of the emotional bonds that make us who we are. " - advice to any friend that gets dumped

"NO!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" - drawing the line

"Not good enough damn it not good enough!" - when the food isn't perfect at a restaurant

"Get it done" - displaying some jerky leadership abilities
 
"He's nothing but a flim-flam, man!"

- Picard

(Though, I only say it to my siblings because we watched it together.)
 
I also use "Resistance is futile" on occasion and "Do it!" As much as I would like to use the "I'm a doctor, not a..." line, I am not a doctor, therefore it would be illogical.

Yeah but you can always twerk.....I mean tweak it to fit your job.

Like "Damnit I'm a (insert your profession) not a (insert profession that fits what you are being asked to do). It still works well.
 
When getting off the freeway, once I'm on the surface street I've often announced, "We are secure from warp speed."

I've used "I'm an engineer, not a _____!" occasionally.
