You Know You're Addicted to 'Star Trek' When...

I recently found this...

You Know You're Addicted to 'Star Trek' When...

Your favorite drink: Tea, earl grey, hot

You can quote the name of every single episode just by watching the first 10 seconds of the introductory clip

You own 13 Star Trek Technical Manuals and Blue Print Schematics of all Starship but you no longer need them

When seeing a doctor, you're afraid of getting a shot and ask for a hypospray instead

Your electronic project: Positronic brain

You have 4 TVs at home and each of them are playing TOS, TNG, DS9 and VOY respectively 24 hours a day non-stop

You remembered the lock up code that Data uses on the Enterprise's Main Bridge before beaming down to meet Dr. Soong and Lore

You've learned playing the song "The Inner Light" with a penny whistle

After broken your neighbour's window, instead of just running away, you try to use the "Picard Maneuver" to escape

You're hosting a conference, your response to any suggestions: Make it so

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends who are addicted to Star Trek.

-------------------------------------------

A reminder of the Enterprise Christmas Party, that will start on the 5th of December:

What I'm asking you to do is write a short post of what happens from your viewpoint at the party. It will be then published in the Journal.

These are the rules to remember:

1: The post is from YOUR viewpoint only. You can involve Enterprise characters, plus other known races and figures, such as the Romulans, the Borg, Q, Lwaxana Troi, or make some up yourself. You can even include some bloggers that are likely to be there (see my Guest Quarters' list on my blog).

2: There is the resident band (Sid Starr & The Starrlighters) and the catering to consider. You are only limited by your imagination!

3: The length should be what you consider suitable.

4: Remember this is a family-friendly blog, so take heed of what you write.

5: In accordance with Rule 4, I reserve the right to trim entries or not to publish them if I consider them unsuitable.

6: The closing date for entries is Wednesday 30th November.

7: Send your entries to: Captain Picard (wibblywebb-1@yahoo.co.uk) marking your entry 'Enterprise Christmas Party'. The E Mail address is also under 'Secure Channel' on my blog page.

8: Don't forget to include your blog ID and your blog address so you can be credited.

9: If I get a substantial number of entries, I will be doing several posts together, to be changed daily from the 5th December.

Good luck, everybody!

--------------------------------

Lastly, to all those in the USA......Happy Thanksgiving!

I liked Star Trek when Jean-Luc Picard was in charge...I wasn't a William Shatner fan. :)

Here via Michele's!

craziequeen said...

Michele sent me - this time :-)

Running2Ks said...

Cappy, I thank you oodles. And let me add, you are addicted to Star Trek when you name one of your kids after a character or two ;)

Professor Xavier said...

You know you're addicted to Star Trek when - the reasons why you haven't spoken to your brother in two years is because he insists TOS was the best series, when clearly it was TNG.

I don't know any one who has all but I do know someone who can check off a few of those. Cute quiz Capt'n.

Hehe. Good one :)

Michele said...

Question: can your favourite drink be Tea, earl grey, hot and NEVER have seen an episode of Star Trek?

Is that possible?

OldLady Of The Hills said...

I have never been addicted to Star Trek, but I can certainly see why one would be! Thanks SO much for your Thanksgiving wish to me, earlier today. That was a lovely thing to do and I dearly appreciate it! I would LOVE to come to your party, but....I'm much too far away. Hope you will be taking lots of pictures and posting them, too!

Jean-Luc Picard said...

If you name your children after characters, there is a chance you may be slightly addicted.

If I had to name a child from a character, it would probably be 'Lal' after Data's daughter in 'The Offspring'.

I went aboard the Enterprise once at the Las Vegas Hylton. It was great, but I did get a bit nauseas.

HRH Courtney, Queen of Everything said...

Fantastic... I think I went to high school with someone who fits this list.
Michele sent me. Thanks for coming by earlier. Oh, and come back first week in December; I think you'll find something you like.

I only ever watched the original Star Trek. Isn't it funny to see William Shatner on Boston Legal? Michele sent me.

Marj said...

okay... i'm trying to come up with a story, but i've already gone into a second page in MS Word......... I think this is too long. Will keep working on it though!

So exciting!

Ciera said...

I might be guilty of one or two of them on that there list.......but I'll never tell which ones. Muhwahahahhaa!

The Mistress of the Dark said...

My sister would definitely get all of those.

here via michele's!

Lori said...

I always say take the bridge ""Number 1""

Have a great day....and Thanks!!

Trinity13 said...

I guess I'm def a ST addict! And I too have named my son after a character! Can you guess which one Capt?!

Running2Ks said...

Lai was a beautiful name. For our older daughter we took a combination of 2 characters Picard played: Galen and Kamen. And it was because she used to kick me when I was pregnant every time she heard the Captain's voice.

Cori said...

Do I have to be a Satr Trec addict to visit you? Thanks for stopping by!

Arthur Brokop II said...

what a fun site - once thought of writing a book called the gospel according to roddenberry
i'll be back and will reccommend this site to my trekker son...til then, may we all live long and...

M. C. Pearson said...

I must not be as addicted as I thought. But if there was a Star Wars or Harry Potter list I'd probably know and understand all the statements. I was guilty of a few though! I do love Star Trek (Especially Voyager (sorry Cappie!))

Jean-Luc Picard said...

Courtney, drop me a reminder about when to visit. I'll keep looking in, though.

Lady Wyntir, the first part of your story is fantastic! Look forward to reading more.

Ciera, I'm sure you're guitly of more than 2!

Lori, that's a great phrase to use!

Trin, I would say 'William' after Riker is the likeliest.

Running2Ks, that is a great way to choose your daughter's name. 'The Inner Light' ranks as the very very best stories.

Cori, no, you don't have to be, but it helps!

Maryellen, thanks for the recommendation.

Hope you're having a great weekend....I'm going to have to think on the Christmas Party thing. :)
