Trekkin' and Wreckin'
May 25, 2012 ATTN Parents: Today's post may not be appropriate for junior cadets.
The saga of the bakeshop Wrecksurprise continues...
Captain’s Log, accidental:
;)
Much has happened on our journey so far.
We cleared out some Cling-ons in orbit around Uranus...
;)
...but the resulting explosion caused a gas giant to rip through the fabric of space time.
Even worse, now the engine room smells like cabbage. Ick.
We made contact with a new species on the outer reaches of the gamma quadrant. We had some initial trouble communicating...
;)
...so I had sex with it, just to be safe.
Then I had to shoot it with a harpoon.
But I think we made some real progress there, all the same.
A transporter malfunction resulted in our first casualty:
;)
I guess you could say he croaked. Haha!
And on a personal note, this crew has NO sense of humor during funerals. Seriously.
Bunch of killjoys, all of 'em.
Oh, and we lost another member of security:
;)
We're not sure which one, though, since those red shirts never seem to last more than a few days.
In other news, there was a bit of a faux pas at our dinner with the Tellarian ambassador. It seems the new chef considers himself something of a practical joker:
;)
Needless to say, the ambassador was not amused.
;)
Anyway, long story short, we're now at war with Tellar Prime. Oopsie.
So, I guess you could say it's been an interesting week so far. Now we're on our way to Vulcan to assist with their first annual Knock-Knock Joke Competition. I can't wait to give them a hand!
;)

"Knock knock."
"I do not understand."
"Just say 'who's there.'"
"But I already know your identity."
"Yes, but it's for the joke."
"This is a joke?"
"You better believe it, brother."
***
"Knock knock."
"This is illogical."
"Knock knock."
" ... "
"Knock knock."
"Very well. Who is there?"
"Orange."
"The Terran fruit or the pigment?"
"It doesn't matter. Either one."
"Then I choose Earth's pithy citrus."
"...You know what? NEVER MIND."
.....
"I do not 'get it.'"

John Scalzi has written a book called Redshirts. If you scroll down his blog, you'll see more about it.
@Kim in ID I double dog dare you!! We NEED someone to record the parodies. The issue being- how do you choose as there are so very many. :D
I really want to know what cake #2 is supposed to be, and the story behind it.
As it is, the Barclay explanation seems to make the most sense.
Hilarious! XD I can tell you're a fellow Trekkie! ^_^
Oh, no. Not again.
Maybe no man went there, but a sea urchin obviously has been there for some time. . .
The actor who was dressed up in number seven was none other than Red Skelton. He was a fan of the show but didn't want the screen credit.
Yes! YES!
