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! |

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? Spaw |

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? |

18 Dec 04 - 11:37 AM (#1360414) Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: mack/misophist 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. |

18 Dec 04 - 12:23 PM (#1360449) Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: Little Hawk 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. |

18 Dec 04 - 12:30 PM (#1360458) Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: catspaw49 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............. Spaw |

18 Dec 04 - 01:52 PM (#1360525) Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: catspaw49 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................ Spaw |

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. |

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) |

21 Dec 04 - 11:20 PM (#1362748) Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: Little Hawk Righto. The election battle storms boldly on...although Kirk and Spock are the official candidates for our party guy, our coolest of the cool among interstellar stud monkeys (and monkettes), there are many other votes coming in, splitting the ticket all over the place. The standings: Spock - 10 Kirk - 6 Uhura - 3 Jean-Luc Picard - 3 Scotty - 3 Dr Bashir - 3 Seven of Nine - 2 Bones - 1 Cletus (?) - 1 Data - 1 Captain Pike - 1 "Q" - 1 Will Reiker - 1 And I am now putting in a very enthusiastic vote for Deanna Troy! Deanna Troy - 1 The analysts here at WSSBA Central are expressing surprise at a number of developments...First of all, that James T. Kirk has not run away with it by now is fairly astounding, although Spock was expected to be a very strong contender from the start. Jean-Luc Picard, too, was considered a dangerous adversary who could rob a great many votes from either the Kirk or the Spock camp, but he has so far made only a modest showing of 3 votes. This is disappointing for Picard-worshippers, many of whom are female. Uhura and Scotty are feisty, as always. That was expected. That the smarmy little weasel, Dr Bashir, has actually EQUALLED them is remarkable! (The WSSBA does not really regard Dr Bashir as true Star Trek material.) Leonard McCoy has not come through as expected, possibly due to his propensity for bizarre non-sequitors and emotional outbursts...but the most astounding thing of all...the thing that has us utterly gobsmacked, is....DATA has only 1 vote!!! Shocking! The charming android was expected to be in 4rth place at this point in the polls. What, oh what, has happened to Data??? As for Guynan (played by Whoopi Goldberg), well...we weren't really expecting much buzz around her... |

Kirk's smarmy 'man the torpedos' approach to women wouldn't do him any good around here and I don't think he could take his airbrush lens with him. Spock's too much work unless he's in ponfar (sp). If you're limiting the choices to Star Trek in all its manifestations I'm for Jean Luc. j |

23 Dec 04 - 10:53 AM (#1364121) Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: *daylia* Star Trek was and still is one of the planets' very few - and most welcome - positive media influences. In the 60's, Gene Roddenbury was ahead of his time in many ways. He dared to script a woman - a woman "of color" no less - even a Russian together with Japanese, Europeans and Americans (!) on the bridge on his futuristic "military" vessel. He envisioned a hopeful future at a time when that was very hard to do; when humanity seemed hopelessly on the brink of nuclear and environmental disaster. And he presented that vision in an influential, compelling, creative, entertaining, and yes even scientifically/technologically 'informed' context of genuine, ongoing mass appeal. Hmmm - I think he should be remembered as the Great Genie Roddenbury. Or maybe the Great Gene(ius) Roddenbury. daylia |

Kirk goes to Warp 5 and barrels past Jean-Luc again! But Spock is unstoppable! The standings: Spock - 12 James Tiberius Kirk - 8 Jean-Luc Picard - 6 Uhura - 3 Scotty - 3 Dr Bashir - 3 "Q" - 3 Seven of Nine - 2 "Bones" (Leonard McCoy) - 2 Cletus (?) - 1 Data - 1 Captain Pike - 1 Will/Thomas Riker - 2 Deanna Troi - 1 Pavel Chekov - 2 Damon Tog (Ferengi) - 1 Lwaxana Troi - 1 Geordie La Forge - 1 Tom Parrish - 1 K'heylar - 1 Gene Roddenberry - 1 Nice to see Gene Roddenberry on the list, as he was actually the force behind it all, and Daylia is absolutely right! Star Trek was one of the very few positive forces in TV drama history, as it envisioned a future of enlightenment, unity, and brotherhood instead of the usual dark and pessimistic dramas that are foisted upon us...apparently to show us what losers we all really are! Hooray for Star Trek, a show that believed in humanity! |

23 Dec 04 - 01:14 PM (#1364263) Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: GUEST,James T. Kirk What would you rather have...lucidity or fluidity? The dialogue in the original Star Trek episodes was witty, punchy, and to-the-point. (Specially my lines.) It left other sci-fi shows of the time in the dust. And I just may have communicated with Uhura better than you think... |

(Which is why Shatner was upset, because Shatner was SUPPOSED to be the star of the show but Spock was everyone's favorite character.) Picard kicks ass. Best male captain of the Enterprise ever, and the sexiest voice, too. Kirk is not even on the list of cool! |

23 Dec 04 - 01:24 PM (#1364274) Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: MMario Leonard - your character frequently abandoned conversations in mid-stream - resorting to silence and a lifted eyebrow. But you were great in both 'Camelot' and 'Fiddler on the Roof'. And as for the Captain - I would have settled for EITHER lucidity or fluidity - both of which were seriously lacking in his lackluster performances. And she had better taste then that. |

23 Dec 04 - 02:12 PM (#1364311) Subject: RE: BS: Who was cooler? Kirk or Spock? From: MMario Why thank you - but I don't do re-enactments. I entertain at English RENAISSANCE themed events (not medieval) - but never claim to do re-enactment. And given my sales figures over the past 13 years - quite successfully. "laughable" is what it is about. Bill - you yourself have admitted your"dramatic pauses" were because you couldn't remember your lines. Then again - given your lines in a lot of the shows I would have tried hard to forget them as well. However - I still haven't forgotten or forgiven you for what you did to Zenna Henderson's 'The People'. Hang your head in shame! |
