But I thought we could only cast \*Trek \* Dopers–not all of them. Oh, well.

Oooh! thank you vivalostwages! 🙂 I gracefully accept Cutler, though wish to reserve the right to portray the first female Tellarite. 🆒

I think **tomndebb** would be excellent as Data, since he seems to have the answer for everything.

A_hem_. May I remind you that I can make this entire thread just…go away? Clearly, if **NoClueBoy** is **Q** , then I would be those guys from the Q Continuum who have the power to strip him of his powers and banish him to humanoid form and just generally slap him around. Either that, or the Organians:

**Poster #1:** No _way_ could the _Enterprise_ defeat an Imperial Star Destroyer! It’s clearly established in _Torrid Tales of Tatooine #9: Forbidden Jedi Love_ that Imperial Star Destroyers have shields which can resist energy weapons up to a trillion farads per millipascal!  
**Poster #2:** Yeah, but Star Trek transporters would just beam right through Star Wars-style deflector shields! They could just beam a photon torpedo right onto the bridge!  
**Poster #1:** You just made that up, you pointy-eared Trekkie freak!  
**Poster #2:** Bite me, _putaQ_!  
**Poster #1:** Why don’t you s…Ow! Hey, all of a sudden my keyboard’s too hot for me to type anything!  
**Poster #2:** Ha, ha Warsie dorkw… Ouch! Mine too!  
**MEBuckner:** We cannot permit this primitive activity you call “flaming” to continue. Henceforth, we will set aside a special region, called “the Pit”, in which you primitive “Warsies” and “Trekkies” may “flame” each other within certain established parameters.

We are the Moderators. Once, thousands of posts ago, we were posters not unlike yourselves. Go now, and post in peace.

MEBuckner’s more like Kevin Uxbridge… powerful, yet behind the times…

We did the Trekkie/Warsie flamefests YEARS ago, old man! 😃
