Hello and welcome to the new contest!
First up to the plate we have the "Musical Theatre Appreciation Award" going to Nerys Myk for:
PICARD: When you're a Jet...
DIRECTOR: Uh. thanks but we're ah... going in a different direction for Riff.
Next, we have the "Patti and Selma have already made their reservations" Award, going to inflatbledalek for:
Riker: I hate the planet of the Richard Dean Andersons.
Next, we have the "It's a Tradition" Award, going to Finn for:
Durken: I like this, drinking over first contact
Picard: Yes. Cochrane, the man who invented warp drive on my world, did a toast just like this with Vulcans.
Next, we have the "Don't Mess with Wes" Award, going to Triskelion for:
Wes: Before I hug you goodbye, tell your She-Bigfoot that I've rigged the transporter to scatter her beam at the sun unless I'm around to give it the deactivation code in two minutes. Also, I made a portable one for you to always have with you, too.
Salia: An anti-shapeshifting chaperone dead man's switch - genius!
Wes: Don't mess with Boy Wonder, Allasohole.
Next, we have the "Confusing Job Titles" Award, going to The Laughing Vulcan for:
Deanna: "Stop, Data. You're hurting him."
Data: "I am not stopping until he explains. I have searched all Federation databases and dictionaries, texts from non-aligned and hostile races too. I cannot find what a 'groppler' actually is."
The Award goes to Leviathan for:
Captains Log, Stardate 44614.6: Our first contact has not gone well. My joke about "usually ambassadors with 3 fingers and a thumb are cartoons" did not go over well. This species hasn't even heard of the Simpsons. We have a long way to go.
With this contest going on longer than usual, I'm dusting off a couple of our special awards!
The Award goes to Shivkala for:
Salia: Don't worry, I won't tell anyone you couldn't get it up, then cried the rest of the night.
The Award goes to bbjeg for:
Picard: Yeah, to be honest, I'm a Q. How else do you think I survivied all the crap I've been through. I was a Borg, I was left in the past, I lived multiple lives including being a child twice, lived through temporal paradoxes, went into the Nexus, died a few times...
And our KBL goes to Jedman67 for:
WORF: "Please explain yourself, Mr. Crusher!"
CRUSHER: "Well, ah-"
RIKER: "Shut up, Wesley!"
SALIA: "Shut up, Wesley!"
ANYA: "Shut up, Wesley!"
WORF: "Shut up, Wesley!"
PICARD: "Shut up, Wesley!"
Many thanks to everyone who participated and congrats to our winners!
Apologies to all for not getting the last contest up on time. I could go into explanations, but I don't think that's necessary. Crazy week, lets get back to business.
With that in mind, instead of jumping back into the character contests, I'm letting that sit for another week and we'll deal with some pictures in need of repairs...
Enjoy!
