Casual Day On The Enterprise

After a visit from Admiral Nbechev, who has just been promoted, we are having a Casual Day on the Enterprise. The reason for this is he is trying to create an impression on Starfleet, with his new 'laid-back' technique.

If we all adopt his approach, the Borg will have no trouble.

With a groan, I instruct the senior staff that they must come in whatever they want the next day.

"Does that mean you will be as well, Sir?" asks Riker, with a smirk, knowing what the answer will be.

"Er, yes, Number One."

The next day, there we all are on the bridge, looking like we are ready to shop in the Starfleet Mall.

Riker has his Canada baseball shirt on with long baggy trousers and a baseball cap.

Worf is in full Klingon battle outfit, and looks as if he's ready to beat up someone. He looks disgustedly at the others.

"It is honourable to wear a uniform to fight in. It is a good day to die."

Why does he always say that?

Deanna Troi has a skimpy mini skirt and her hair is all in weird Betazoid fashion and looks like someone from the 1960's on Earth. I'm having a difficult job in getting Riker's attention. His mind seems to be wandering.

Data has his Sherlock Holmes outfit on. He has a pipe in his pocket, and Data is looking at it fondly.

I hear the word. "Elementary" from his lips.

If he lights that, we'll get soaked in water from the heat alarms and the 'red alert' will go on.

La Forge has a multi coloured shirt and shorts on, as if he is ready to go on the best beach in Brazil. He has no shoes on.

Beverly has hipster trousers with a short top, showing six inches of midriff and a pierced belly button.

I have tried to retain a slight sense of normality with a tuxedo suit, looking like Humphrey Bogart in 'Casablanca', although this may have been a mistake.

------

Admiral Nbechev has since been removed from office. The reason for this is when another Starfleet vessel encountered us, they didn't believe we were the crew, and thought we had stolen the Enterprise. We were all thrown in the brig, and it was only after DNA testing we were released.

Nbechev is now wearing a uniform of his own. It's a striped one while at the penal colony.

Hi, Michele sent me! Interesting blog. :)

Star said...

That was funny. It actually sounds like where I work.

DLAK said...

Smartass.

ROFLMAO! =D

Jean-Luc Picard said...

Tammy, thanks for the compliment.

Star, are you sure you're not an Ensign on board the ship?

Dlak, is that a compliment?

Bonita, thanks also.

Michele said...

Okay, let me begin with the basics:

What is an enterprise?
Where is the Starfleet Mall?
How did you become a captain?

Yes, these questions are rhetorical. However, the thank you so much for stopping by my site this weekend is sincere.

I always thought it was cool when you wore that alternate uniform, you know the one that's like a smoking jacket.

Nic said...

Captain, you rock! That was a brilliant post. :)

Trinity13 said...

So, what did you think of Beverly's outfit choice? Did you approve?

Jean-Luc Picard said...

Michelle, the Enterprise is the Starship I'm in charge of; the Mall is in Starfleet HQ. As to your last question, many people have asked it.

Jon, I'll have to dig that out again.

Nic, thanks very much.

Trinity, if I answer that question it may incriminate me.

True Jersey Girl said...

No khakis and polo shirt for you on casual day, Cap'n?

Kimberly said...

Was La Forge wearing his Reading Rainbow shirt? That would be priceless:-)

Jean-Luc Picard said...

Bav, glad you like it!

Jersey Girl, as Captain, I have a certain dignity to maintain.

MommaK, it's a replicated one, so it's not worth that much.

R.A. Slater said...

Sounded like fun...right up until the Brig! I think that happens to all Enterprise Captains at least once.

Canada puts out Tshirts in the 24th century? Is it still a country, or a clothing outlet?

Why is Picard always getting into some kind of trouble? He's in and out of the mirror universes, getting head injurys, slapped, and have his dates with Beverly ruined by Data.

I like the one where Picard and Troi switch bodies that was funny
