Cant really think of any good ones - ill let someone else start...

"This is an extremely primitive and paranoid culture" (when you walk into a Mall during the busy seasons)

My favourite though is to directly quote Spock when someone says "So...You won't change your mind?" to which I reply "Is there something wrong with the one I have?" usually gets a laugh

I've used the term "Colorful Metaphors" a few times.

 

[Shon T'Hara]

After eating at Taco Bell: "It's giving me a sour stomach."

When someone's acting a little twitchy: "He did too much LDS."

When someone really annoys me: "I eschew you. I say, 'Screw you,' and I hope you're blue too."

More than once, upon returning from a family vacation and pulling into the garage I've said 'My friends...we've come home'. Usually gets a knowing smile from my wife.

Whenever one of my friends Computer mucks up in some way, I'll either say

Are you sure it isn't time for a colourful metaphor?
Or I'll pick up the mouse and say 'Hello Computer'
It usually cheers them up and gets a good laugh.

Also 'Nuclear Wessels!' Can be used any-time, any-place

 

[SchwEnt]

Oh come on, this is easy--


"Double dumb ass on you!!!"

Can also be used all the time, in all situations.

Telling someone that "it's across the Bay, in Alameda" works quite often (especially for those of us who work & live there), as most people don't really know where Alameda is... (Seemingly)

Are there situations where one could quote "The Voyage Home"?

No, yes, no, yes, no, yes.

'My God, Jim, where are we?'

'Out of control and blind as a bat!'

'May fortune favour the foolish.'

'no doubt about your memory, Captain Spock'

'Guessing is not in my nature'

'Nobody's perfect'

'You're not exactly catching us at our best'

'He's not exactly firing on all thrusters'

'Our mission? You're half human, Spock, haven't you got any goddamm feelings about that?'

'OK, the truth.

I am, from what on your calendar, would be the late 23rd Century.'

Hundreds if not thousands.

If I had pursued a career with NASA, I could have used....

No, I'm from Iowa, I just work in outer space.

When you see someone swearing to themselves and hitting themselves in the face:

"He's a retartd or something.."

When you go to an Sea Life and there are whales there:

"There be whales here!"

I've told this one here before: a true story.

I had written the convention biography on Suzie Plakson (Dr Selar, K'Ehleyr, Lady Q, Tarah) and she loved it and asked the con organizers to introduce me to her. I was dressed as Groppler Zorn ("Encounter at Farpoint") at the time (ie. long, straggly, white hair, striped nightshirt, ugg boots), and I shook her hand and said...

"You aren't exactly catching me at my best."

Brilliant Therin!

I dunno what it is about Suzie Plakson, shes just such a likeable person, I'd actually marry her if she asked me!

I can top that! An Australian band, Big Bang Theory, once wrote a song called "Lead-Foot Suzie" (limited release on CD) about her Star Trek convention appearance and true adventures Down Under, and one of the lyrics said... "What really took the cake was the guy who said he'd have her babies for her."

 

[Sparky]

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned this one yet.

"Everybody remember where we parked"

I use this one all the time.
