And just in case you still can't tell whether you are a Star Trek Fan.........
If any of these apply to you.....You might be a Trekkie.
I find myself intrigued by your sub-vocal oscillations, a singular development of cat communications that obviates your basic hedonistic predilection for a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection.
A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents; you would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance. And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion, It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.
O Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array. And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend, I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.
[Geordi]"Yes, Captain. In fact, we found the answer by searching through archives on late twentieth-century computing technology."
[Geordi presses a key, and a logo appears on the screen]
[Riker looks puzzled] "What the hell is 'Microsoft'?"
[Data truns to answer] "Allow me to explain. We will send this program some reason called 'Windows 95,' through the Borg command pathways. Once in their root command unit, it will begin consuming system resources at an unstoppable rate."
[Picard]"But the Borg have the ability to adapt. Won't they alter their processing systems to increase their storage capacity?"
[Data]" Yes, Captain. But when 'Windows 95' detects this, it creates a new version of itself, known as an 'upgrade'. The use of resources increases exponentially with each iteration. The Borg will not be able to adapt quickly enough. Eventually all of their processing ability will be taken over and will not be available for their normal operational functions."
[Picard]"Excellent work. This is even better than that 'unsolvable geoshape' idea."
...15 minutes later...
[Data]"Captain, we have successfully installed the 'Windows 95' module in the command unit and as expected it immediately consumed 85% of all resources. We have not received any confirmation of the expected 'upgrade'."
[Geordi]"Sensors have detected an increase in Borg CPU capacity to compensate, but we still have no indication of an 'upgrade' to compensate for their increase."
[Picard] "Data, scan the history banks again and determine if their is something we have missed."
[Data]"Sir, I believe there is a reason for the failure in the 'upgrade'. Apparently the Borg have circumvented that part of the plan by not sending in their registration cards."
[Geordi] "Wait! Captain, I just detected that their CU capacity has fallen to 0%!"
[Picard]"Data, what do the sensors show?"
[Data]"Apparently the Borg have found the internal 'Windows 95' module named 'Solitaire' and it has used up the remaining CPU capacity."
[Picard]Let's wait and see how long this 'Solitaire' can reduce their fuctionality."
...Two hours pass...
[Riker]"Geordi, What's their status?"
[Geordi]"As expected, the Borg are attempting to re-engineer to compensate for increased CPU and storage capacity demands, but each time they successfully increase resources, I have setup our closest subspace beacon to transmit more 'Windows 95' modules from something called the 'Microsoft Fun Pack'."
[Picard]"How much time will that buy us?"
[Data]"Current Borg solution rates allow me to predict an interest time span of 6 more hours."
[Worf]"Captain, another vessel has entered this sector." [Picard] "Indentify."
[Data] "It appears to have marking very similar to the 'Microsoft' logo."
[Over the speakers] "THIS IS ADMIRAL GATES OF THE MICROSOFT FLAGSHIP 'MONOPOLY'. WE HAVE POSITIVE CONFIRMATION OF UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE IN THIS SECTOR. SURRENDER ALL ASSETS AND WE CAN AVOID ANY TROUBLE. YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS."
[Data] "The alien ship has opened its forward hatches and is releasing thousands of humanoid shaped objects."
[Picard] "On screen. Magnify."
[Riker] "Captain! Thse are humans floating straight toward the Borg ship! How can they survive the tortures of deep space??"
[Data] "I do not believe those are humans, sir. If you will look closely, I believe you will see that they are carrying something recognized by twenty-first century man as doe skin leather brief cases, and wearing armani suits."
[The rest of the Bridge crew, horrified] "Lawyers!!"
[Geordi] "They can't be. All the lawyers were rounded up and sent hurtling into the sun in 2017 during the great awakening."
[Data] "True, but obviously some have survived"
[Riker] "They have the Borg ship surrounded and are covering it with all sorts of papers."
[Data] "I believe that is known in ancient vernicular as 'Red tape'. It always proves fatal."
[Riker] "They're tearing the Borg to pieces!"
[Picard] "Viewer off. I can't stand to watch."
The Diffrences Between at "Trekker" and A "Trekkie"

is cramming for the entrance exams.
A Trekker
meets Marina Sirtis/Gates McFadden at a convention, tells
her
how pretty he thinks she is, that it is too bad she is
married
or he would ask her out.

friends.

can't wait for the price to come down on those home food
replicator
units.

Riker: "To be, or not to be, what the hell is going on here?"TO be or not to be
Borg: "I am Hamlet of Borg, to be, or not to be assimilated..."
Worf:
"To be, or not to be, there is no question, I have disgraced my
family and now I must die!"
Troi: "To be, or not to be?... I sense doubt."
Kirk:
"To be, or not to be..." (with really elaborate
hand gestures and poorly-done melodramatic overacting)
Picard: "To
be, or not to be..." (same as above, but done with competant
acting. Also add a "make it so" at the end of the speech)
Beverly: "To be, or not to be a tease to Jean-Luc."
Wesley: "To be, or not to be a pathetic wuss."
Barclay: "To
be, or not to be? Oh, I can't decide--it's time to run
program nine on the Holodeck!"
Data:
"To be, or not to be--I fail to see the importance of this vague
query, sir."
Q:
"To be, or not to be--well, I know you limited humans could never
hope to be as glorious as I!"
Geordi: "To
be, or not to be modulated, that is the question. 'Tis it
nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of the tachyon flux-emmision
or to compensate for the delta-trialic waves... aye but there's the
rub, whether or not our forward sensor array can detect such
particles..."
Why
did the Chicken Cross the Road?
Neelix: Actually, Captain,
I'm not really familiar with the chickens in this system.
But, if you can catch it, I can cook it.
Riker: I don't know why,
but I know how: with pleasure, sir.
Worf: I don't know. KLINGON
chickens do NOT cross roads.
HoloDoc: How should I
know? No one tells me anything around here. I didn't even
know we added chickens to the crew. All I know is that it would have been
nice, BEFORE the chicken went off to the cross the road, if it had
remembered to turn me off!
Dr. Crusher: If there's
nothing wrong with the chicken, there must be something wrong
with the universe.
Dr. Soran: His heart
just wasn't in it. (Scenes of chicken torture with nanoprobes have
been edited out.)
Scotty: Because she couldna
take much morrrrrre.
Odo: I don't know, but
I'm sure it must be Quark's fault.
Quark: "For the right
price, it could be 'arranged' for a suitable piece of
poultry to 'cross' over to your side of the road....."
Morn:
Vorik: "What's
a chicken?"
Worf: Today
is a GOOD day to fry!
Charlie X: Because
it didn't want to STAY...STAY...STAY...
Kirk: You chicken
bastard, you killed my son...YOU chicken BASTARD, you killed...
my SON...you CHICKEN bastard....youkilledmy...son!
Gowron: We
can bring the Second, Third anf Fifth Fleets together HERE,
on the median strip, and victory over that p'tahk chicken will be ours!!
Troi: I feel the
chicken's pain!
Kira: It was probably
being chased by those cursed Cardassians.
Bones: Dammit,
I'm a doctor, not an ornithologist!
Data: The chicken,
in observing that it was on the opposite side of the 20th century
Terran paved roadway, was aware that its immediate goal should have been
to
traverse the distance without interception by an kind of combustion-propelled
personal transport vehicle, but I am unclear as to why any kind of domesticated
fowl should desire to perambulate upon a conveyance normally reserved for
the
usage of...yes, sir.
Dr. Bashir: It
probably heard about my amazing medical skills not to mention my sexual
prowess and came to get some pointers.
The Borg: Crossing
the road is irrelevant. The chicken will be assimilated.
Hugh the Borg:
Maybe it just needed a big hug!
B'Elanna: I'm sure
it felt suffocated by all the bleeping regulations of bleeping Starfleet
and
just couldn't stand it any longer!
Paris:
Does there always have to be an answer for everything, Tuvok?
Picard: There are
four lights!
Q: Wouldn't you
like to know? Too bad your puny human brain wouldn't be able to
comprehend the answer.
Uhura: Shall I
open hailing frequencies so you can ask it, sir?
Tasha: That depends...was
it fully functional?
Chekov: I vonder
if the chicken knows that roads vere a Russian inwention?
Khan: With my last
breath I spit at the chicken...
Harry: I don't
know, it's my first mission.
Paris: Well, I
think that...say, that's a lovely shirt you're wearing.
Harvey Mudd: Chicken?
I don't remember any chicken. No no no, there's been a terrible
misunderstanding.
Janeway: Its primary
goal was no doubt to get back to the Alpha Quadrant...and it probably
misses its dog.
Nurse Chapel: Oh,
Spock!
Lwaxana: Oh, Jean-Luc!
Spock: Fascinating,
Captain.
V'Ger: To join
with the Creator.
The Grand Nagus:
Stupid chicken! You don't cross the road all at once! You sneak across
it
quietly, without anyone noticing!
Gul Dukat: Well,
that's a very interesting question...I'm sure we can work out some kind
of
arrangement to obtain that information that will be to everyone's satisfaction.
Kes: It was remembering
back to the times when its ancestors crossed roads all the time!
They lost those abilities because they stopped using them!
O'Brien: No problem,
Commander, I'll get right on it.
Wesley: I'm not
sure, but I can figure it out if I reroute these systems and reconfigure
the warp
field and run a complete internal whootchacallit on the computers
and...
Pestley Crusher:
Once I become simply too annoying to fit into any one universe, then
I can go Travelling with chickens across the roads of the cosmos too!
Guardian of Forever:
Through me, you can see all the chickens of history
crossing all the roads that have ever been.
Sisko: It was seeking
deeper meaning. Jake, do you see what we've learned from all this?
Jake: Check out
the babe that just came off that transport!
Geordi: Well, wherever
it's going, I'm sure it'll have more luck with women than I do.
Sulu: Don't call
me Tiny!
Sarek: Sometimes
logic fails me where chickens are concerned.
Mr. Homn:
Dax: To get to
the other side. Kurzon might have disagreed with me, Tobin I'm sure wouldn't
have had a clue, and then there's...
Tuvok: That's not
a question we'd prefer to hear from a senior officer. It makes the junior
officers nervous.
Seska: Of course
the chicken wouldn't have had to risk crossing the road if these stupid
simplistic Starfleet regulations didn't prevent us from sharing our technology
with it!
Weyoun: Well,
I"m not sure why it wanted to cross, but rest assured the Dominion will
be
there to welcome him with open arms...
Ezri Dax: I
don't even like chickens... or was that Jadzia... maybe Kurzon.. ohh....
I don't know!
The Prophets:
The Chicken is not of this side of the road
Seven:
It was trying to escape the borg. It was inefficiant and was
assimilated.
Gene Roddenberry: To
boldly go where no chicken had gone before.
Garak: The
question, dear doctor, is not why the chicken crossed the road, but why
someone
would be interested in knowing why.
The Traveler: Wesley,
with my guidance you will transcend time and space and find the
answers you seek.
Breen: (BURP!)
Female Changeling:
The motives of the solids are of no concern.
Kai Winn:
Ours is not to question the motives of the Prophets, my child.

they can use this super-bright light, but it was bogus, 'cause McCoy
used
the wrong kind of light, and it makes Spock blind ,so, like......what
kind
of light bulb are you talking about ??
