To Boldly Go..Star Treking…

Nobody Wonders–

Some times you have to boldly go and make a fool of yourself and that’s what I did today with my Trekkie friend Pattie at the Star Trek Exhibition down at the St. Louis Science center.

Here you can see, Captain Pattie remains cool and calm while I freak out at the Federation ship she just blew up. Of course, then we had to make a run for it, (Federations are never very nice when you blow them up) and Scottie beamed us back in time, while I kept the phaser on for any last-minute attacks: Pattie was checking for atmospheric weather amoralities….and we both somehow landed in Kirk’s Captain seat, which of course, we were fighting over..(because we, like smart women everywhere, were not ABOUT to pay for two pictures!)–untill we looked over and saw..two strange creatures from another planet..making strange gestures at us. I didn’t catch their names, but since we were from the future, we have no idea who those people were. They looked like a very nice married couple from some house in the Late Great America. I believe that is an American Flag behind that man. That must have been BEFORE China took it over. Anyway…

It was a rough day, and I’m glad we made it back to the future where you can still be silly, even if you’re NOT drinking.

  1. Looks like fun!

    To make one of these photos complete, next time you needed a shirtless “swashbuckling Sulu” in the picture.

  2. I look forward to your trips and photos, Joy, so I can copy them to my file of ‘people wot I like’ photo-file. I have ‘made it so’.

    I wasn’t aware (or I had forgotten) that you were a Trekkie. But silly me, how could you not be, with your zany ways and the immersion we have all had for several decades in the Star Trek enterprise. But…. what is this? You are undressed ! Not in proper uniform of very short skirt and figure hugging, spray-on / sew-into ‘top’. The ladies of Star Trek, even the chaste and demure ones dress to dazzle the hearts and minds (and one or two other appendages depening in species).

    But I hope you had time to try out a few lines that one doesn’t ever get to hear on any of the Star Ships I have seen. Such as ‘Where”s the loo’?, or ‘I’ll be there in a tick, Captain. I’m just having a crap’, or ‘Crikey Captain, what the faaark is THAT !?’, or even the most common phrase in naval parlance, ‘Left hand down a bit’,’Aye aye Captain, left hand down a bit it is Sah’.

    Oh, come the episode ! Even on Captain Janeways’ flying Dutch Cap.
