Set Your Phasers To Pain?

Screen shot 2010-01-28 at 10.57.27 PM

Have you ever wondered how to give a girl an orgasm? I finally figured out the key. It has nothing to do with something called a “g spot”, whatever the hell that is. All you have to do is plop your girl in front of this hilarious Spock remix and she’ll be screaming in no time. But that’s best case scenario, considering you even have a girlfriend. Look I know it’s hard out there for a pimp, or so the song says, but there’s no reason you can’t enjoy this video. Seeing Nimoy’s face, while not necessarily screaming but in agony, saying “pain” 48 times, yea, I counted, was nothing short of EPIC.  Almost as epic as Shatner’s video for “Rocket Man”, I still get chills. Massive Kudos to the video’s creator, Jayenkai. Check out Jayenkai’s profile on youtube.com!

‘Star Trek’ Items Auctioned for Haiti

DVD signed by J.J. Abrams - one of Roddenberry's auction items.

DVD signed by J.J. Abrams - one of Roddenberry's auction items.

The brilliance of the Roddenberry legacy continues — this time, to help those in Haiti.

Rod Roddenberry, son of “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry and “Star Trek” computer voice actress Majel Barrett, is auctioning off some of his late parents’ belongings to aid HaitianHero.com, an organization that usually offers programs to Haitian youth. Right now, though, HaitianHero is focusing on the rebuilding efforts the country will need in the aftermath of the recent earthquake. The president of the organization is Jimmy Jean-Louis, who plays “The Hatian” on NBC’s “Heroes” and who hails from Haiti himself.

Rod Roddenberry has sold the family home, and though he is keeping a number of sentimantal and valuable items from his famous parents, he says he unfortunately doesn’t have room to keep them all.

Auction items are a mix of “Star Trek” and ordinary items. Among the items are his father’s driver’s licenses, his mother’s golf bag, a “Star Trek: The Next Generation” script and some Star Trek movie stuff signed by J.J. Abrams. To see Roddenberry’s full list of items, look at his Facebook album here. What’s more, Roddenberry will match whatever the auction raises and send that along to Haiti too, thereby doubling the funds.

Roddenberry describes the reasoning for putting the items up for auction in that same Facebook album:

AUCTION EXPLANATION:
Here’s the deal, there are a lot of people suffering in Haiti right now and we can all do something about it. I have a number of items that belonged to my father and mother that I consider valuable in one way or another. I’m sure there are many of you other there that would share my sentiments. I am prepared to part with b/c I know they’ll go to a good home and I think we’ll all feel great if we can give to those who need it. Therefore, this will be an auction where all proceeds go to the Haiti relief. To be clear, I nor anyone else at Roddenberry will be profiting from this Auction. In addition, at the end of the auction, I will match the total amount from all items.

This is a really cool thing for anyone to do, and obviously it would be pretty neat to have a piece of “Star Trek” or Roddenberry history. Take a look at the Roddenberry treasure chest and see what you can do. Or, if you’d rather, check out HaitianHero.com, the American Red Cross, Yele.org or any number of verified charitable associations. Every dollar counts.

Ten Disturbing Works of Star Trek Fan Art

There’s a world of horrible artwork out there in the realm of Star Trek fan art. I’m sure I missed some amazing examples, but I really do need some sun after scouring the internet for hours on hours for my picks for the worst. Go grab a glass of Romulan Ale and enjoy a little stroll through this fan art gallery.

Legal Question: Can Parents Be Prosecuted For This?

nerdphotoAwkwardFamilyPhotos.com strikes again. Check out this family’s portrait. I’m all for capturing a moment for the kids when they grow up, but this might land the kids in therapy. Although, that would be convenient for the therapist. Photographic evidence of the damage taking place could expedite the recovery process. Begin the healing! Here it is larger (below) in case you can’t quite see the detail of the leotard mess. (more…)

Captain Kirk is….Well, He’s Um…He’s Climbing a Mountain

kirk

I, like  you, have always wondered….why is Captain Kirk climbing the mountain??? WHY I ASK YOU!!? Thankfully today Greatwhitesnark.com ran across the answer.

But before I share the answer to this age-old question with you, dear nerds, I’d like to give you a few preparatory tips.

1. Get comfy…why not throw on some denim and flannel? Believe me you’ll thank me later.

2. Blur your lines between Captain Kirk and William Shatner, as “he” has done here.

3. Prepare for mid-thickness Shatner

Oooooooooh Shatner(d), you’ve done it again…you’ve made me want to go dig out my life-size poster of you that I talked the guy at Time Warp Comics (Boulder, Colorado) out of so many years back. Back in college when you were second on my crush list only to Leonard Nimoy (Spock Nimoy not turtlenecked In Search Of Nimoy…I’m not that f’ed up). I mean, just think, I lived in Colorado and had no idea you were trying to “make love to the mountain” — SO WAS I KIRK…so was I.

If You Must Wed, At Least Be Nerdlywed

Weddings – who needs ‘em? You sit around eating cheap chicken dinners while feeling sorry for the douchebags who are begging the DJ to play the “Electric Slide” yet again. And if it’s your wedding, then you should feel kind of bad for subjecting people to that junk just because it’s “your special day.”

That is, unless you do it up right. Unless you do it up nerdy. Unless you get out your lightsaber to slice apart that dead tauntaun cake. Below, check out three photos of folks who geeked out their ball-and-chain affairs… and one cake that will make you roll your eyes. (more…)

Star Trek The Next Next Generation

I’m a Star Wars guy, not a Star Trek one. But I can appreciate good work, especially with a “Kung Pow” twist in voice editing and absolutely INSANELY absurd hilarity. Enjoy Star Trek the way it was meant to be watched. (video after the jump)
