Live long and nudey, Star Trek


This time the cheeky cherubs are none other than the Star Trek Lotharios: Captain James Tiberius Kirk and Commander William Thomas Riker.
The Stardate is meant to represent when the Orion Syndicate (the hot green people) were first encountered by the Federation. However, there is much nerdish zealotry and conjecture to this, which I won’t bother to discussing here.
Big Fat Robot with victimActually, I don’t mind if it’s horribly wrong, afterall there is a huge market in Japan for meaningless English phrases (go to http://www.engrish.com/ for many hilarious examples). So it should work the other way with equally amusing results. In fact, I remember seeing a GI type wandering around Roppongi with a tshirt written in Japanese kanji, it said “baka gaijin” (idiot foreigner). Not sure if it was an ironic statement on his behalf, or he just thought the letters looked pretty.
