Who am I to argue with the captain of the Enterprise?

[auld argonian]

They're running the usual feature stories about just how obscenely large an amount of money you can spend on some self-indulgent Christmas gift on our local TV stations this week.

One of the features involved a guy who has spent $250,000 making his home theatre room look like an exact replica of the bridge from the Starship Enterprise.

I didn't quite figure out which "letter" Enterprise it was supposed to be...A, B, C....or, as Scotty said, "NCC1701...no bloody A, no bloody B..."

Why do I think that this guy has almost certainly GOT to be single?

Compliments of the Season...and may the Ferengi open a gift shop in yer loo.

I dunno, I'm sure that it must be appealing to certain females. I mean, if they're addicted to the show then that can only be a plus, right?

I know plenty of girls who are Star Trek nuts.

I was also reading recently about people who are trying to decorate their homes in a steampunk theme.

Me, I'm just lucky I have furniture.

Man, you learn something new every day here. I just googled some steampunk images. I'm not sure I could live with that every day, but I think it's very cool.

There's a hum in the restrooms at my office emanating from the inner workings of the building. If I close my eyes for a minute when I'm in there, I can imagine that it is the background sound of the Enterprise, and that's good enough for me (and free) and then I can go back to reality.

Regards,
Rex.

My Lady Wife would be fine with the bridge, though perhaps not the cost...

[cessna152towser]

Well it would certainly be that bit different from having a pub scene or a model railway in your spare room.

I'm with you Rex, I'd never heard of steampunk either. I googled images as well and found them to be reminiscent of the old Riven and Myst games. True Scotsman though, why pay a quarter of a million dollars when you can it get for free in the john! (although I'm trying to picture Kirk on that particular captain's chair)

I once worked at a large treatment plant which had a huge transformer room that hummed at pretty close to the key of G. I could spends hours in there inventing and singing bagpipe style modal tunes.

As to the ladies...well...yeah...I'm STILL offering to buy my dear wife one of those T.O.S. series crew-woman uniforms....I even suggested that she might want to get one of those futuristic bee-hive hair-do's to go with it.

...hey...if they were good enough for Uhura and Nurse Chappell...

...for some reason, she's not interested.

Hey, everything important I needed to know I learned from the original Star Trek!

Appearances can be deceiving (Devil in the Dark)

There are two sides to every issue (Arena)

Laughter is the best medicine (Day of the Dove)

When everything else fails, bluff (The Corbomite Maneuver )

“having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting” (Amok Time)

“The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.” (Shore Leave)

Sometimes being illogical and going with your instinct is the most logical thing to do (The Galileo 7)

Under promise, over deliver (Most episodes featuring Lt. Commander Scott)

Humans are illogical, but this isn't always a bad thing! (All episodes)


Cheers

Don't tell Yeti, he's not a trekkie, but I think that's pretty dang awesome. Hope it's the Next Gen Enterprise, I've sorta own every single episode of that one... or co-own at least.
