If you go to any movie in the metro area or board a plane at Will Rogers World Airport, you would think everyone in Oklahoma has a baby. That’s not entirely true. There’s a small group of men who have abstained from the temptations of women and remained virgins. We should honor and commend this men for not bringing more useless people into this world, being smart enough not to join the priesthood, and building an amazing recreation of the Starship Enterprise instead.
From NewsOK:
Three years ago, the set was left for dead in an Austin barn after serving as the bridge of the USS Exeter, hub of a fan-based “Star Trek” film series made in and around the Texas capitol. When production ceased in 2009, the entire set was scrapped and left to the elements.
In 2010, Oklahoma City area “Star Trek” fan John Hughes heard about the set.
“I was online one night, looking at different “Star Trek” series, and I found ‘Starship Exeter,’” Hughes said in an interview at a recent script read-through.
“I thought nothing could be more fun than making the best ‘Star Trek’ fan movie ever. I thought if you gathered a group of “Trek” fans together and we did everything ourselves, we could do a really great thing.”
I want these Trekkies to fight JediOKC in a sci-fi LARP battle. Last virgin standing wins! Think of how amazing that would be. We’d have the Enterprise vs the Millennium Falcon; Hyper Drive vs Warp Speed; Dude dressed a X-Wing Pilot vs guy pretending to be Spock. Okay, some of it would not be amazing, but I’d still watch.
Quick question: If you have an exact replica of something as iconic as the Enterprise bridge, shouldn’t it be used to make at least one adult film? I’m sure BeeBee Jonez would help! Also, if you don’t reach out to the Thunder starting lineup and get them to produce a Footlocker commercial… then F**K YOU!
Anycrap, despite the virgin jokes, I can’t dog on these guys much. Everyone is nerdy about something. For example, I’m nerdy about comedy. Marisa is nerdy about tanning beds. Patrick is nerdy about trivia and dressing his cats in superhero costumes. He’s also a drunk. We all have our faults, I suppose.
Check out my Twitter page @SpencerLenox and let me know when you think I lost my virginity!
I like to go where no man has gone before…
If you get my drift.
I have thought about the Star Wars vs Star stek battle a bit an I think the Federation would win a war between the two. Some things I have noticed In Star Wars: Episode Two, we learn that the cloners on Kamino have 200,000 clones ready to deliver to the new Grand Army of the Republic, with another million in the pipeline. Presumably those first 200,000 clones are the ones we see in the Battle of Geonosis at the end of the film (famous for the kick-ass fight scene between Yoda and Count Dooku), when the army hands the droid/rebel/confederation army its ass. An army of 200,000 well-trained and well-equipped troops seems like a realistic number for one battle in one specific location on one world. The problem comes in Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, about 2 years after the clone wars began with the Battle of Geonosis. If we assume the extra million clones were made available, the maximum total number of clones in the new Army of the Galactic Republic would be 1.2 million. Even though clone growth is accelerated, clones are not battle-ready until they are about 10 years old. That means that even if Palpatine placed an order for millions of new clones after the success at Geonosis, they wouldn’t be ready for another 8 years after the events in Episode III. So they’re stuck with no more than 1.2 million clones as the backbone of their galactic army. The Star Trek universe is a totally different story. The United Federation of Planets includes 150 worlds and 1,000 semi-autonomous colonies. With 2 million service members, adding together about a million stationed on starbases (700 starbases with a little over 1,000 crew each) and outposts, and a very rough additional million scattered across starships, central command, the academy, and land-based garrisons. The Federation still manages to mount a force from its tiny portion of the galaxy larger than the ‘Grand Army’ of the Galactic Republic.
This also does not take into account numbers added by The Treaty of Alliance or the Klingon Alliance negotiated by Spocks father Sarek.
What he said.
I fell asleep after “I have thought about the Star Wars…”
Also William Thomas Riker and I don’t think much of the virgin jokes.
Don’t forget that Capt. Kirk basically slept his way across the galaxy.
Yes, Yes he did.
I think Donnie is seeking to be a ground floor investor in this deal……….not that there is anything wrong with that……
DON-EEEEE!
I nominate Donnie to be docent at the Star Trek museum.
