I say Kirk, because he always got the girls. Well, almost always. My buddy says Spock, because he was so logical. Gimme a break! Logical is not cool! Let's face it, if you want to party and have a great time, who are you gonna invite, Kirk or Spock!

Hawk, this is completely pathetic although you have chosen a guest name to match the thread. Who cares which one of these two to invite? They are both prime candidates for Pivot Man in a Circle Jerk. I did however pose your query to the patients at the Neil Young Center for the Terminally Screwed and they chose Captain Video. So there you are. What can I say?

You're one of those people who doesn't get it, aren't you? I pity you. For me you don't even exist. In fact, I'm surprised I even bothered to comment on what you just said.

Now back to the issue at hand. You have a Christmas party coming up. Who ya gonna invite? Kirk or Spock?

Spock. Without a doubt. Shallow life forms who don't understand why are probably incapable of understanding. And Spock will no doubt be a key witness at Kirk's court martial.

Give it up Hawkster. Only a Mega-Nerd would invite either one of them....unless of course he was having a Circle Jerk as mentioned before.

Come to think of it, you could invite Major Tom, psychotic astronaut, as well and they could have their OWN Circle Jerk!!! That could work out for you Hawk......AND you could sell the videotape on e-Bay!

What's a "pivot man"?

Spock, definitely. Nerds are incredibly sexy, while cheesy people like Kirk are sometimes funny, but never sexy.

So tell me, Spaw, how many people are required for a circle jerk? I figure you must be some kind of authority on that subject. :-)

Me, I would be sure to invite both Kirk AND Spock. They complement each other extremely well. I'd also invite McCoy and Scotty for comic relief.

Nerds may be sexy, but nerds like Spock are something else. His Vulcan heritage makes him susceptible to the curse of all Vulcans, a fact well known by their enemies. If you twist the tips of a Vulcan's ears in different directions at the same time, their gonads explode and while this may make his love partner think he is Thor, God of Thunder, the Vulcan is generally mortally wounded. The few who do survive are left nothing but a lifetime of servitude where they are forced to watch guys like Kirk butt-fuck Tribbles. Not a pretty sight.............

Is that why they have that hand sign where the index and middle fingers, and the ring and pinkie fingers are arranged in the form of a V? A reminder to Vulcans to keep their ears pointed straight up?

Yes it is Carol....a very astute observation!!! It's funny really......For all of their brilliance and logic, there are some missing synapses here and there in their short term memory. One Vulcan suffering from psoriasis thoughtlessly twizzled his ears while being beamed aboard a starship. The molecular structures came undone as a result and the only parts of him that arrived on the teleporter platform were his balls which exploded 12 seconds later, rupturing the hull of the starship which caused it to crash with the loss of the entire crew. Tragic story................

Awww, CarolC, I didn't know you cared! (giggle!)

Seriously, I'd invite Spock, for the exact opposite reason as Mega-Nerd. Kirk would be furiously hitting on every girl in the room, and he'd probably score with two or three of them. Spock would get all the nerd-loving girls worked up, but would have no interest in scoring with any of them...at which point they'd look to some of us other nerds for sympathy.

Christ!! If I'd only known back then that chicks found nerds sexy! Argh! I must've missed some grand opportunities there.

Spock unquestionably was pursued and fantasized about by a great many human females, but I thought that was merely because he appeared to be unattainable...and unflappable. (not referring to his ears when I say that)

Spock is cooler, as he can play the Vulcan harp & sing. Who wants to hear Kirk sing? Puh-leeeeeese!   Spock's ears are wonderful ice breakers. Beautiful women love him cause they wanna try to score with him. Duh. It's a no brainer.

Spock of course: I can only imagine what it would be like to be without emotions. It would be like being without termoil, stress,
anger. Humm also would be without joy, caring, loving.

Spock still. Check out the ears:

Well, well. Spock has pulled into a decisive lead here! Here are the stats, thus far...

Official vote count:

Uhura - 3
Jean-Luc Picard - 2
Scotty - 1
Bones - 1
Cletus - 1

Cletus?...who the hell is Cletus???

Looks like MegaNerd is in for a major disappointment here, as Kirk goes down to a miserable defeat and Spock holds the crown for Intergalactic Party Animal Extraordinaire!

Was Kirk a Canuck? (I know Shatner is, but we're talking about Captain Kirk).

Anyway, Spock was most definitely not an USAn. He was a Vulcan. That's almost as good as being a Canuck.

Kirk . . . but I was (am) exceptionally fond of Scotty. He had better taste in booze ("it's green") and could fix almost anything using the equivalent of duct tape, bubblegum and bailing twine.

Kirk is now up to 6 votes!

Kirk - 6
Spock - 9

Uhura - 3
Jean-Luc Picard - 2
Scotty - 1
Bones - 1
Cletus (?) - 1

(We have determined that Cletus is/was a very, very minor Ferengi character in the Next Generation episode # 57. He attempted to have sex with Doctor Crusher (inflamed by the sight of a woman in clothing), and got punched out by her. He then attempted to beam himself out of the ship but got the coordinates confused and materialized inside the warp drive. Bye, bye, Cletus!)
