So last night started out like any other night. We were cooking BBQ in my friend’s backyard, the boys were watching football, I was coughing violently and persistently (I am very sick today, kids, so consider it an expression of my love for you that I am conscious and writing), and we were generally acting like very cool people.
And then my friend starts talking on one of those wireless Bluetooth headsets and the other guys are like, “Oh, man, he’s gone over to the dark side.”
And I mention that with that piece in his ear he looks like those Star Trek aliens that are all like “Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated,” and I’m like, “What was the name of those aliens???” And no one can remember, but my friend with the earpiece is like, “I never watched the ones with Captain Picard. He’s really more of a politician than a leader.”
And I’m like, “What the fuck? How can you say that about Picard? He is the ultimate leader.”
And he’s like, “No, Kirk was a leader,” and I’m like, “Um, no, Kirk was a pussy.”
And this continues for some time until we have to abandon the notion that we are, in any way, the cool kids.
I love me some Jean-Luc.
At the Evening Standard Theatre Awards in London.
the aliens were the Borg
the Borg! OMG they scared the crap out of me…
And I too love Patrick Stewart.
Shenanigans. You knew very well what they were called.
Damn right Evil Beet! Jean-Luc is the hotness. I feel the need to also point out that Picard did at one time become a Borg. They called him Locutus. He was even hotter as a Borg. Go ahead and call me a nerd, it’s okay.
Borg… they cruise around in the cube. As for leadership your friend is right, Jean-Luc grew up from being a hell raiser to a politician. Kirk was a man’s man doing the dirty with green alien women and battling giant reptiles. To alter the argument, the leadership role should go top Pike, who first helmed the Enterprise. As for pussy captains, Janeway has more astroids than Archer anyday. Archer has to be the pussiest of the caoptains.

I love this conversation.
I can’t believe how many of us nerds are really out there. And here we are, all reading a gossip blog.
As for me though, Captain James Tiberius Kirk all the way, baby.
Live long and prosper.
Definitly bald and sexy for me. And you can’t forget about the dead sexy accent. Jean Luke is the greatest. I would die to see him in person on stage.
