Though to be fair, some aliens might have read Spock’s book a few months after an “encounter” with Kirk.
Just how did Spock not have a PhD, anyway?
Maybe he did but it just wasn’t customary for Starfleet officers to mention any such academic honors. He testified in “Court Martial” that he had an A-7 computer expert classification, however.
Yes, I knew that from memory.
I’m not surprised that you knew that from memory as the Vulcans are the Elves of the future… 
Nonsense. Vulcans don’t toss their silky-smooth locks nearly as much as those damn Elves.
I take comfort in the fact that Star Wars fans just refer to themselves as “Star Wars fans” instead of these ultra-nerdy terms. “Trekker” sounds terrible. Always has, always will.
Mr. Bailey, your agonizer, please…
Warriors?
Actually I thought Lucasites would be a good name for Star Wars fans.
Or the ubiquitous “Star Trek Geek”…
Laugh at Obama all you like, but I bet “Jedi mind meld” will henceforth be the preferred phrase for inexplicable persuasion for years to come. It just plain sounds cooler than the unmixed alternatives.

That is good - thanks!
The President poked some geeky fun at himself at the Gridiron Club dinner: http://www.politico.com/politico44/2013/03/jokes-from-obamas-gridiron-speech-158941.html?ml=po_r
Yea, seriously. You might be able to resist the Jedi, you might be able to resist the Vulcans, but a Vulcan Jedi?
Wasn’t one of the Little Rascals?
Wasn’t one of the Little Rascals what?
At the Gridiron Club dinner? No, I don’t think so.
One of the stars of Trek Wars, of course.
