Living with Tsu, working on CT scanners, and watching re-runs of Star Trek for the seventh time?
 
Great video, thanks MIH!
:biggrin:
 
I enjoyed that very much!

nevermind - some of you weren't born!:cry:
Oh that was you? Sorry, my memory is not that clear, I was a bit high on cordrazine when I sold you that guide. :wink:
 
I enjoyed the Picard song but I think it goes on a tad too long.



He just kept talking in one long incredibly unbroken sentence...

I particularly like that bit :smile:

Who recognizes every scene immediately?

Scary, huh?

:redface: yeah.

This video has 3 classic Star Trek parodies. One from SNL, one from In Living Color, and one from The Wonder Years:



The Wonder Years scene is priceless! (take note, sisters.) :wink:

Studying nuclear and astrophysics, watching Star Trek reruns occasionally, and . . . . well doing things I can't go into. :biggrin:

For a different mood...



(also by same "author")


y'know, I was wondering, should we call these people "authors" or "editors" or what?

Star Trekkin > Picard's Song

I settled on 'author' after discarding 'producer' (too stuffy), 'creator' (too holy) and 'tuber' (too obscure and/or vegetably). I thought 'author' allowed for most flexibility of connotation.

AGH! I can't get the Picard song out of my head now!

Oops sorry :redface:

Star Trekkin > Picard's Song



Now that's just annoying.

Absolutely brilliant! (Sorry, Janus - I couldn't think of a better way to put it.) Thanks.

I found this thread last night, and when I played the video over and over while singing along off-key, my wife, who has never heard of Jefferson Airplane, thought that I had lost it completely. My four-month old daughter thoroughly enjoyed sitting in my lap my, listening to my singing (too young to be a critic), and watching the video, though.

A couple of interesting connections come to mind.

When part of Jefferson Airplane morphed into Jeffereson Starship in the early seventies, I suppose the starships from Star Trek inspired the name.

Also, there was an early seventies made-for-TV movie called http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucS-J60ShF0". Look for William Shatner as the father at about the 55 second mark. I'm not familiar with the song played in the video.
