My favorite is #5 and #1. Usually #1 isn't as funny as #2.

It seems like he was short on time and rushed through this.

 

[captcalhoun]

can't view it in the UK, contains copyright material from CBS and is blocked.

 

[T'Girl]

Would have been funnier if it was being read off by Leno.

 

[trekkiebaggio]

I can't watch it either. Although #9 doesn't even apply to Star Trek really, like it could be any space show. And I can't think of any dog in Trek that's been covered in aluminum foil.

I prefer the 47 reasons I came up with (see my sig, and that's my shamless plug done ).

 

[Captrek]

For captcalhoun, trekkiebaggio, and others similarly situated:

10. YOU'RE WRITING "STAR DATE 5946" ON YOUR CHECKS

9. FAMILY DOG PLUS ALUMINUM FOIL EQUALS SPACE DOG

8. BUILT YOUR OWN PHASER OUT OF A STAPLE GUN AND 20 D BATTERIES

7. LAST HALLOWEEN, YOU DRESSED AS "STAR TREK" PROPS DESIGNER, IRVING A. FEINBERG

6. YOU SPEND A LOT OF LONELY NIGHTS "WRESTLING THE GORN"

5. DURING YOUR POWER POINT PRESENTATION FOR COMPANY'S 2ND QUARTER REVIEW, THE WORD "ROMULANS" CAME UP MORE THAN ONE WOULD NORMALLY EXPECT

4. ALWAYS TELLING BARBER, "GIVE ME THE SPOCK"

3. YOU'RE ALREADY CAMPED OUT FOR THE 2011 "STAR TREK" SEQUEL

2. WHEN THE STOCK MARKET GOES DOWN, YOU'LL SUDDENLY YELL, "KHAAAAAN!"

1. GOT SUSPENDED AT WORK FOR TRYING TO MIND-MELD WITH AN INTERN

 

[trekkiebaggio]

Thanks for that

Pretty good list

 

[Rush Limborg]

Here's a few of my own:

You Might Be A Trek-neck:

...if your dartboard consists of a mug shot of Wesley Crusher.

...(ladies) if your earings double as combadges.

(I've SEEN earrings like that!)

...(men) if you're idea of a prom date is a cardboard Seven of Nine.

...if you spend your midnights plotting the assasination of Rick Berman.



That's about all I can remember from my ol' list. Ah, well....

 

[Amaris]

They were pretty good, but #5 was downright hilarious.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

#5 was written by someone who works at a company a whole lot like mine.

 

[Rush Limborg]

Okeydoke. Time for some self-evaluation:

10. YOU'RE WRITING "STAR DATE 5946" ON YOUR CHECKS

Gulp. Not that far gone.

9. FAMILY DOG PLUS ALUMINUM FOIL EQUALS SPACE DOG

Excuse me? That isn't Star Trek--that's Captain Proton!

I named my sister's rabbit "Tribble", though.

8. BUILT YOUR OWN PHASER OUT OF A STAPLE GUN AND 20 D BATTERIES

Do Legos count? I built a TNG-era Phaser outta some....

7. LAST HALLOWEEN, YOU DRESSED AS "STAR TREK" PROPS DESIGNER, IRVING A. FEINBERG

That's scary. By Halloween, I'd have forgotten who the heck that is.

6. YOU SPEND A LOT OF LONELY NIGHTS "WRESTLING THE GORN"

Nope. My lonely nights are usually spent reflecting on the lovely spots of...

5. DURING YOUR POWER POINT PRESENTATION FOR COMPANY'S 2ND QUARTER REVIEW, THE WORD "ROMULANS" CAME UP MORE THAN ONE WOULD NORMALLY EXPECT

Okay. That's kinda...specific. Wonder what the context would be for that?

4. ALWAYS TELLING BARBER, "GIVE ME THE SPOCK"

Considered doing that--once. The closest I got to it was asking for bangs.

3. YOU'RE ALREADY CAMPED OUT FOR THE 2011 "STAR TREK" SEQUEL

Looking forward to it? Absolutely. "Camped" out? Nope.

2. WHEN THE STOCK MARKET GOES DOWN, YOU'LL SUDDENLY YELL, "KHAAAAAN!"

As far as I know, George Soros hasn't played Kahn--so, nope.

1. GOT SUSPENDED AT WORK FOR TRYING TO MIND-MELD WITH AN INTERN

Total misunderstanding--I had no idea she was a woman!




Just kidding. No to that.

I'm fine. For now.

 

[Finn]

1. GOT SUSPENDED AT WORK FOR TRYING TO MIND-MELD WITH AN INTERN

I did not have telepathic relations with that woman

 

[YellowSubmarine]

9. FAMILY DOG PLUS ALUMINUM FOIL EQUALS SPACE DOG

I don't see why would I put aluminium foil on my pet targ.

 

[Tora Ziyal]

Only one that made me laugh was #5.

 

[Brolan]

They didn't put much effort into it, one of the new writers must have been working on it.

 

[Tora Ziyal]

Yours is much better, Trekkiebaggio.

These two definitely apply to me:

#4 – …you perform the Picard manouevre

#17 – …you order tea. Earl Grey. Hot. (Well, what I really order is Herbal tea. Peppermint. Hot. But what I THINK as I'm ordering it is Earl Grey. Hot.)

A couple others sort of apply:

# 30 – …you spend more time with Star Trek characters than you do your own friends.

# 42 – …the only knowledge you have of baseball was gained through Deep Space Nine.

My sign of being too obsessed with Trek is that, whenever I see a person with a slightly longer neck, I'm starting to imagine them in Cardassian makeup.

 

[Tora Ziyal]

My Internet connection was acting funny a few minutes ago. When I glanced at the modem, my first thought was, "There are four lights." You guys are a bad influence on me.

 

[Nerys Ghemor]

Yep, totally.

That's exactly what I think every time I see Alan Colmes on TV--he should be put in Cardassian makeup. He practically has the hair for it already...just needs a little black dye and a bit more grease, and he'd be THERE.

And for equal opportunity fun...seriously, if someone had fixed the proportion to get it EXACTLY right, I think Charles Krauthammer actually looks good as a Klingon!!

I had to look him up... A rather weird-looking guy! Kinda has a Vorta face/smile...

Christopher Meloni and Morena Baccarin are on my "should be cast as Cardies" list. Meloni has to be a gul or some other military person, he has the right physique for the uniform. Baccarin could be an Obsidian Order agent. Though I could also see her as a Vorta.

Oh, and Bjork is definitely a Vorta - right down to the lack of any aesthetic sense!

Speaking of which - how about her ex, Tricky, as a Cardie? Or possibly some other alien?

Glad you liked it, Nerys. Nice to see you -- hadn't seen you around for a while. Though that's probably because I haven't been here much.
