A 'Trekkie' thinks it's funny...

I am a Star Trek fan, call it "trekkie","trekker", "psychopath", or whatever you want. I like the show, and have bought some memorabilia over the years. I even met James "Scotty" Doohan at a convention, a very nice and gentle man by the way. I also happen to think that if one is to exist in this world, they need a sense of humor about themselves. I was laughing at this movie, and still chuckle at it in hindsight occasionally, and that is okay. Although I was never as "hardcore" as some people in this movie, it was okay to have a laugh at my expense (I suppose a therapist would say I was altering the situation so that people were "laughing with, rather than at me"). So let me have a little fun too...

I stopped wearing the uniform and still can't get a date.

Q: What does a Trekkie want most?
A: A duet album between Shatner and Nimoy

Okay so the second one wasn't that good, but its fun none the less. Any fans with a joke please join in.

Sorry, no jokes to contribute. Just wanted to say that I too am a trekkie and I thought this film was great. It was so much fun, I'm surprised that so many people hate this movie.

Some of these Trekkies should try and get girlfriends.

Yikes, what an awfull idea: girlfriends! -Why have those when you can just go from con to con and have great alien sex?

Q: Why did Captain Kirk pee on the ceiling?
A: To go where no man has gone before.

I got a kick out of seeing just how far these people will go and how much they get into it. I see nothing wrong with being a trekkie, we all are. Nothing wrong with wearing the uniforms either. I just think it's sad when people disregard reality and create this whole fantasy world for themselves instead having a life. A hobby is one thing, but when it becomes your entire identity, that's bad.

Ooh, some Star Trek fun! Let's see...

*

Kirk and Voyager's chief of security are good friends. Why? Because everyone knows he likes to f... Tuvok.

*

Did you hear about that PETA member that go torn to bits and eaten? He was protesting against Klingon cuisine.

*

Kirk wakes up with a terrible headache, craps in the closet and pisses on a chair, stumbles naked unto the Bridge and vomits all over the helmsman. Suddenly he realises something terrible... He has done this before! "Spock!" he yells, "Scan for temporal anomalies. I think we might be caught in a time loop!"
"No sir," says Spock, "you've been drinking Romulan Ale again."

*

What the difference between a cappuccino and a Klingon raktajino? Cappuccino is made from ground, roasted coffee beans.
Raktajino is made by roasting a dishonorable warrior alive and grinding up his charred bones after you've drained his blood to make Klingon bloodwine.

*

How many Borg does it take to screw in a light bulb? 10 billion and 1.
10 billion to assimilate civilizations untill they find a suitable light bulb, and 1 to screw it in.

*

Why did the Ferengi cross the road? Because it's the 7813th Rule of Acquisition.

I met George "Sulu" Takei at a con many years ago - he was signing autographs, and the first thing I could find to grab for him to autograph was my Star Trek: The Next Generation Tech Manual. So, I finally get face-to-face with him, hand him the thing...he takes one look at it and says, "Now, you do watch our series, right?"

I was so embarrassed! But, he signed anyway (I still have the book buried somewhere), and was very good-natured about the whole thing. He said, "I'm just kidding!" He shook my hand and I assured him that yes, I did watch the original series films, and had even seen a few episodes from the original series on rerun television.
