Star Trek and all that ...

 

I like Star Trek, especially Jean-Luc Picard, Benjamin Sisco and Kathryn Janeway. In fact I like all TV programs about space. 

One thing I don't understand though. Why is it when they meet a new race they show them round the Enterprise space ship and explain about warp drive, dilithium and other technical things? You wouldn't expect to show a stranger your whole house if they knocked at your door.

Also, why do they never take them to the kitchen and show them how to make French Fries?

As for me, whenever I meet someone new I always start with French Fries. Many years ago I had a new girl-friend. I had the choice of taking her to the Ritz Restaurant in London or to McDonald's. I did not want to risk the Ritz on a first date on account that it can be expensive. So I took her to the local McDonald's.

Turned out she was vegetarian and this immediately ended our relationship. I could not look forward to a lifetime of broccoli. Why is it that vegetarians always want to convert you to their way of thinking? 

So next time those Star Trek people meet other races from other galaxies perhaps they should give them some French Fries as a peaceful gesture in the quest to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life
and new civilizations and to boldly go where no man has gone before. 

And also ... not to split an infinitive.

    1. Did you ever see them teach aliens from space how to make French Fries? I would have improved the whole series if I wrote for them.

      God bless, Martha.

    6. Victor, finally I found it in my Junk mail. Guess that's how they treat holyvisions... Just like my Pinterest is being published for saving religious and moral things on there. But they can't discourage me—EVER!
      Thanks for your kind words.

  5. Jean-Luc Picard was my favorite captain. We enjoyed all of the different star treks.

    1. The Picard episodes often had a moral in the story line. But never French Fries.

      God bless, Happyone.

  6. Fellow trekkie here. I love all those characters, plus Data.
    Please pray for me, having had a thorough psychcognitive test. Lasted 5 hours, instead of 3-4. I learn of the results on Monday.

  7. And I thought I was the only one who'd never watched Star Trek. Wouldn't say 'no' to a french fry, however!

    1. I think French Fries are a weakness for me. A great invention. Over here we call them chips. With battered fish like cod we then have fish and chips; with salt and vinegar. Captain Picard could conquer the universe with such a recipe.

      God bless, Mevely.

  8. I'm vegetarian, for health reasons, and i don't expect anyone else to be, unless they want to. You are right, though, Eve probably could have resisted broccoli more easily.

    1. It's the taste. Broccoli has such a strong taste. It's like eating cauliflower but with an attitude. Cauliflower wants to be your friend. Broccoli wants a fight.

      God bless, Mimi.

    1. Hello Jack and Sherry. Glad you made it here. I'm still working on perfecting a new washing machine that also dries clothes ... as well as iron them. Just got burnt a little trying it out.

      God bless always my friends.
