Random Weirdness

Inspired by a woman at Tysons Corner mall, wearing one of those behind-the-ear blinky blue cellphones:

I am Trisha of Borg. You are like SO TOTALLY going to be assimilated. Resistance is like totally futile, m'kay? Ohmygawd, you so totally did NOT just shoot that phaser at me.

-The Gneech, m'kay?

Well y'know, like, for some dudes, depending on how hot the Borg Princess was, that would be like, totally excellent! Resistance would be, like, nonexistant, m'kay? ^_^

Would Jeri Ryan rate a 7.9 then?

Her two most popular Borg Implants were fake - her figure is pretty average in "Boston Public" (and the later seasons of ST:VOY, when they toned down the fanbait)...

Aw, can't a guy fantasize a little? ;)

[genecatlow.livejournal.com]

Like I said, dude, depends. Rock on!

Heh. Seeing that icon made me to go Wiki and go look up various Star Trek characters.

That was great.

I do love how our everyday tech is looking more and more like the early Star Trek stuff. Cell phones look like communicators, wireless headsets that would look natural on the bridge of Enterprise, memory cards that are even smaller then what they had.

Now if we could just start making some of the space vehicles to match the earth bound tech.

You need to watch this show (http://www.historychannel.com/global/listings/series_showcase.jsp?EGrpType=Series&Id=16682030&NetwCode=THC).

I'll have to try and remember to record that one. Thanks.

Hey, the influence of ST-TOS was suprising when it was actually still on TV. The first workable microcomputer (PC's didn't exist yet) was the Altair 8800. The man who founded the company named it (Altair) after the destination of the Enterprise in the episode his daughter told him would be on next week.

Thing is, we can, if we decide to say "screw cost" and just DO it so we HAVE it.

The almighty dollar. Gotta love it. >.> <.<

BTW: there's a league of D&D up here in Albany if Gneech-san hasn't sent you the links. There's room for the March 25th game I'm running if you want to come up (since I've inferred you're a gamer like the rest of us :) --- Here, have a look... (http://www.firstduty.com/add/league/games.php?t=20060325) and for laughs a recap of what happened in my normal game Here in the 'ol LJ (http://the-lizard-rat.livejournal.com/335068.html#cutid1).

I did look at the site but the problem is I'm tied up most weekends. That and I'm a good 50 minutes out of Albany (more like an hour if it's down town or on the west side). While I love to game work, time and schedule exclude me from it these days. Thanks anyways.

Gneech you may have done one of those subconscious thefts of material that are such a hazard to guys like you and me...voracious consumers and regular producers of jokes. Google "Buffy of Borg" and you'll see an old popular .sig file. O_O

[the-gneech.livejournal.com]

Heh. :) It's an old gag ... I first saw it as "I am Homer Simpson of Borg. Resistance is -- ooh! Donuts!"

-TG

[kinkyturtle.livejournal.com]

Then there's "I am Popeye of Borg. You will be askimiligrated! Arf arf!"

I made up a whole bunch of those once.
"I am Wakko of Borg. Your candy will be assimilated!"
"I am Basil Fawlty of Borg. You will-- what? What? Yes, I'm just doing it *now*! Honestly, Sybil of Borg, how can you expect me to assimilate them if you keep interrupting?!"
"I am Mister Rogers of Borg. Won't you please, won't you please, please won't you be assimilated?"

bluetooth valley speak...

oh mah gawd!

from east Tucson---who the hell put an air force base in the middle of town and why does Interstate 19 have info in kilometers?

Re: bluetooth valley speak...

[carlhh.livejournal.com]

It's more like "Who the hell put this town around our air force base?"

Lots of cheap land. Cheap because a pair of A-10s fly over every half hour or so. 24/7. You get used to it. Honest!


You never get used to F-16s, though.

After living on Spangdahlem Air Force Base for three years, I beg to differ.

I'll grant that the Warthogs are much quieter.

If you've ever had a B-1 fly past your house, *that* is loud. :P

[d-l-leonine.livejournal.com]

Nice!

some other favorite variations:

I am Dyslexia of Borg. Your ass will be laminated.
I AM Drunk of Borg. Resistance is floor tile.
I am Mistress of Borg. Resistance costs extra.
We are Pentium of Borg. Division is futile.

So, like, you give me your car keys and some junk? And I, like, park it for you? Then when you come back, I, like, go get it and some junk? Then you, like give me a $10 tip? What?? $2??? Fer sher.....

Valet Girl.

[maxgoof.livejournal.com]

Oh this one...

I am P-uh-p-uh-porky of B-uh-borg. Y-uh-you will be asim-uh-asim-uh-asim-uh...taken over. R-uh-resistance is fut-uh-fut-fut-uh....useless.

[hossblacksilver.livejournal.com]

You're right of course, it is the one true Trek. Especially when you look at that other Enterprise captain who somehow found somebody dumb enough to give him three ships to destroy. As for V'ger, I've said it's sad when the only personality on the show is given to the hologram.

[trenn.livejournal.com]

That's not entirely fair. They did a bit of character development with the former Borg drone.

....Wait, that actually reinforces your point, doesn't it? 9.9

[hossblacksilver.livejournal.com]

I also loved the way Janeway tried to teach Seven to be an individual, "We want you to think and act for yourself.... NO NOT THAT WAY, DO IT THE WAY THE REST OF US ARE!!!!"

Yeah, no mixed messages there.

[stilghar.livejournal.com]

"...captain who somehow found somebody dumb enough to give him three ships to destroy..."

Could be worse.

I can think of one Space-Opera heroine who, in the course of her career, has had three ships so badly mauled that they had to be decommissioned (one too badly damaged to even return to port), and has lost hundreds of crew under her command to battle.

She's also bonded to a telepathic alien critter, been shot several times, killed three men in 1-on-1 formal duels, lost a lover to assasination, had an arm so badly mauled by gunfire that it had to be amputated, lost her right eye twice (once in an assasination attempt on a friendly head of state), and was captured as a PoW, sentenced to death, and spent a couple years on a prison planet referred to by its residents, appropriately, as Hell, and commanded the fleet charged with repelling the first armed incursion of her home star system in over three centuries.

That would make such a great ringer! LOL
