Description: all the silly top ten lists you could ever want to read
Recently I retired the silly top ten list, but included an offer to
mail my entire file containing these lists to any interested party. Well,
the response has been overwhelming! So as a public service, I have
decided
to post the whole shabang. This file contains every silly top ten list I
posted this semester. Enjoy, and trek on!
I will of course still honor any requests by e-mail. I love getting
mail!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
Now, the TOP TEN lines from the upcoming TNG episode,
"The Enterprise Stops at Taco Bell":
10) (Troi) I sense... indigestion.
9) (Picard) Don't order the fajitas, Number One, they'll go through you
at
warp nine.
8) (Wesley, guest starring) Look, mister, the sign says you get a free
"Little
Orphan Annie" cup with any taco salad purchase, and I'm not leaving
here till
I get one!
7) (Worf) Klingons do NOT eat burritos!
6) (Geordi) I bet if I allowed anti-matter to collide with these
chimichangas
we could boost warp power by 27 percent!
5) (Dr. Crusher, pointing tricorder at a taco) Inconclusive meat
readings,
Captain.
4) (Picard) You're on, Number One. Whoever can squirt the most jalapeno
sauce
up his nose gets treated to dessert.
3) (Riker) What do you mean you don't serve tokelau here? What kind of
Mexican
restaurant is this?
2) (Data, re-joining Geordi after bugging Picard with a boring monologue
on
the history of the enchilada) I do not believe it is physically
possible
for me to place an enchilada in the area suggested by the Captain.
1) (Picard) When we get back on the ship and you have the conn, Number
One,
you'd better not queef on my chair!
the TOP TEN Favorite Activities of Capt. Jean-Luc Picard
---------------------------------------------------------------
10) ordering Earl Grey tea from the computer, then smacking himself on
the
forehead and saying "I could have had a V-8!"
9) yelling "Punchbuggy!" and hitting Riker's arm whenever he sees
a shuttlecraft
8) screwing around in the holodeck when he ought to be on the bridge
7) spotlighting unsuspecting crewmembers with the glare from his forehead
6) lecturing everybody on why it's rude to fire the phasers at other
life-forms
5) sending crank subspace messages to Starfleet Command asking if
Dick Hertz is there
4) asking Beverly Crusher to come to his quarters so he can show her "a
REAL Picard Maneuver"
3) Ticking off Romulan commanders during tense confrontations in the
Neutral
Zone by asking "Are those Bugle Boy jeans you're wearing?"
2) telling crewmembers in menacing, Dirty Harry voice, "Go ahead! Make it
so!"
1) putting banana peels on the transporter pads just before an away team
beams back up

The TOP TEN reasons why Riker won't shave:
--------------------------------------------

smile.

for Picard.
5) He thinks Troi finds it sexy.
4) (seasons 2 to mid-4 only) Didn't trust himself to pick up a can of
shaving
cream because the temptation to go and spray it at Wesley was too
great.

gag.
1) Picard won't let him fire up his photon blade.

the
Enterprise, opens hailing frequencies, and asks, "Pardon me,
do you have any Grey Poupon?"
4) Embroider at Needlepoint (alternate title: Prose-Q-ting Attorney) - Q
puts
humanity on trial again, claiming that it is a savage and
tasteless race, introducing as evidence a really ugly

Well, campers, this week's silly top ten list comes to us from
Waterville, Maine - specifically, from Colby College, where my younger
sister Katie is a freshman. We keep in touch via e-mail, and recently I
suggested to her that we collaborate on a top ten list. She sent the
list that you are about to read as a tentative starting point, but I
liked it so much that I am posting it without alteration. She is its
sole author, and all fan letters, hate mail, and/or death threats may
be sent directly to chkimbal@colby.edu or may be sent to yours truly,
who will forward them to her address when I get back. Don't bother
posting
any remarks - she doesn't read rec.arts.startrek.misc!
the TOP TEN reasons Picard won't fire the phasers:
--------------------------------------------------
10) He doesn't know how.
9) He doesn't want to succumb to crew pressure.
8) He doesn't want to lose the women attracted by his sensitive side.
7) He doesn't want to use the same effects as the old show.
6) Emily Post recommends not firing on a first encounter.
5) It saves energy.
4) He is on the holodeck pretending he has a life.
3) He is promoting a kinder, gentler Starfleet.
2) The other ship is probably carrying a relative of Tasha Yar.
1) What would his mother say?
the TOP TEN worries of Capt. Jean-Luc Picard
--------------------------------------------
10) Has to figure out at least a token punishment for Worf for killing
a crew member who hid a tribble in Worf's bed as a practical joke
9) The impulse engines have been making a funny noise lately
8) Crew refers to him as "Captain Chrome-Dome Retard" behind his back
7) That the voices in his head telling him to throw Counselor Troi out
an airlock will become too insistent to ignore
6) Ensign Ro has introduced a strain of Bejoran V.D. into the Enterprise
population that cordrazine won't even put a dent in
5) Wesley might come to visit
4) Luwxanna Troi might come to visit
3) If he doesn't get the pizzas to Starbase 141 within thirty minutes,
they're free
2) The way Data keeps reading "2001: A Space Odyssey" over and over again
1) Riker will keep turning down promotion after promotion and he'll NEVER
be rid of the big dork!
Before we get to this week's silly top 10 list, we have a bonus top
10

definitely
worth posting, and so (with his permission, of course) here are:

impossible
to get volunteers for the next one
4) name "Enterprise" sounds suspiciosly like Romulan phrase "enn t'rp
reis"
meaning "your mother sucks eggs"
3) All of Sela's big plans work about as well as lead balloons
2) Stole the blueprints for the Federation's proposed Escher class
starship,
but can't make head nor tail out of them
1) $800 million credit cloaked surveillance satellite in Earth orbit was
supposed to moniter Starfleet HQ, but only picks up MTV instead
Ladies and gentleman, I bid you welcome to this special performance.
Tonight, Bellman Productions proudly presents:
Silly Top Ten List - the Musical!
---------------------------------
selection #10
Music: title theme from "Gilligan's Island"
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a maiden trip,
That started from this deep space port,
Aboard this Starfleet ship.
The mate was a mighty dorky guy,
The skipper, bald and bold,
The ship was ordered to Farpoint,
For a two-part episode, a two-part episode.
The ship got captured by the Q,
The awful script was rough,
If not for the fervor of the fearless fans,
We would have turned it off, we would have turned it off.
Now, the ship is boldly going
Where no one has gone before,
With Jean-Luc Picard, and Riker too,
The red-head Doc, and her son,
The Betazoid,
An android and a Klingon man,
Here on the Enterprise!
* * * * * * * * * *
selection #9
Music: "Home on the Range"
Singers: the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, NCC-1701-D
Oh give me a home, where the Captain's a chrome-dome,
Where the crew on the holodeck play.
Where seldom the words "fire phasers" are heard,
And Wesley at school is away.
* * * * * * * * * *
selection #8
Music: "With Catlike Tread" from "The Pirates of Penzance"
by Gilbert and Sullivan
Singers: the r.a.s.* canon police
We canon-heads
Don't accept all Trek.
Only what's on film
The rest can go to heck.
No books at all!
We don't believe a word
Even if it was okayed by the Great Bird.
So steadily we flame the techs
For spouting off Franz Joseph's specs
Trekkers on r.a.s!
Watch our local station
Do a Vulcan salutation
Keep canonicity
Free of FASA's blasphemy!
* * * * * * * * * *
selection #7
Music: theme from "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"
Cannon-fodder red-shirt extras!
Cannon-fodder red-shirt extras!
Cannon-fodder red-shirt extras!
You know that they'll be toasted
R.I.P.
They rarely last through more than just one scene,
Every time you look, they're dying on the screen,
When that bug-eyed monster attacks,
Those security guys are nothin' but snacks.
Cannon-fodder red-shirt extras!
Cannon-fodder red-shirt extras!
Cannon-fodder red-shirt extras!
Shouldn't ever beam down
R.I.P.
Those red-shirt guys are really up the creek,
They never live to come back the next week,
Bear the brunt of every attack,
So many croak, you can't keep track.
Cannon-fodder red-shirt extras!
Cannon-fodder red-shirt extras!
Cannon-fodder red-shirt extras!
You know that they'll be toasted
R.I.P.
* * * * * * * * * *
selection #6
Music: Monty Python's lumberjack song
Singer: Commander Riker
Oh, I'm First Officer and I'm okay,
I sleep around and I work all day!
I man the bridge, I sign reports,
I go to the lavatory.
I hang out with the Captain, and he makes me drink Earl Grey tea!
Oh, I'm First Officer and I'm okay,
I sleep around and I work all day!
I man the bridge, I grow my beard,
I lead the away teams.
I've scored on every planet onto which I have been beamed!
Oh, I'm First Officer and I'm okay,
I sleep around and I work all day!
I play poker, I skip and jump,
I visit Risa when on leave.
When I whip out my horgon, the babes all run to me!
* * * * * * * * * *
selection #5
Music: "Can't Touch This" by M.C. Hammer
Singer: Captain Picard a.k.a. M.C. Baldo
My, my, my, my starship is
So cool
Makes me say
Look here, fool
the Enterprise is
So rad
With its 2-Live crew
And Captain so bad
I've met Romulans and Ferengi and dissed 'em
A superfly French guy from the Sol system
And you know, you can't say no
When I tell you to... Make it so!
Make it so!
Make it so!
Oh! Oh, oh, oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh, oh, oh! Oh!
Make it so!
Make it so!
* * * * * * * * * *
selection #4
Music: "Takin' Care of Business" by B.T.O.
Singer: Wesley Crusher
I get up every mornin'
To the alarm clock's warnin'
And take the turbo-lift up to the bridge.
I'm in charge of navigation
So I've got to man my station
For an acting ensign, quite a privilege.
And if there's some threat
Well, you sure as heck can bet
That I'll figure out a way to save the day!
If you ever get annoyed at this acting ensign boy,
Well, I'm not the one who writes it, okay?
I'll be savin' the Enterprise, every day,
Savin' the Enterprise, every way,
Savin' the Enterprise, it gets old,
Savin' the Enterprise, in every episode.
* * * * * * * * * *
selection #3
Music: "There's a Hole in the Bucket"
Singers: Geordi LaForge and Leah Brahms
There's a hole in the warp field, dear Leah, dear Leah,
There's a hole in the warp field, dear Leah, a hole.
Patch the hole then, dear Geordi, dear Geordi, dear Geordi,
Patch the hole then, dear Geordi, dear Geordi, patch the hole.
With what shall I patch it, dear Leah, dear Leah,
With what shall I patch it, dear Leah, with what?
Use a phase shift, dear Geordi, dear Geordi, dear Geordi,
Use a phase shift, dear Geordi, dear Geordi, a phase shift.
And how shall I shift it, dear Leah, dear Leah,
And how shall I shift it, dear Leah, just how?
Reverse the polarity, dear Geordi, dear Geordi, dear Geordi,
Reverse the polarity, dear Geordi, dear Geordi, the polarity.

With a proton beam, dear Geordi, dear Geordi, a proton beam.

selection #2
Music: excerpt from "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen
Singer: Commander Riker (with fan chorus)
Captain, just got offered a command,
It's the third or fourth this year,
But I really like it here,
Oh Captain, I'm the show's co-star,
Do they think I'm gonna just throw that away?
I see a pretty good director of a man
Jonathan Frakes! Jonathan Frakes! Will you direct the next episode?
Phaser bolts and lightning, very very frightening me
Galileo! Shuttle Galileo!
Galileo! Shuttle Galileo!
Galileo, Ferengi. (Magnifico!)
I am just a poor boy, nobody loves me,
He is just a poor boy, with poor acting ability,
Spare us the fans from this monstrosity!
Easy come, easy go, do you think he'll go?
Bismillah! No, he will not leave the show! - leave the show!
Bismillah! He will not leave the show! - leave the show!
Bismillah! He will not leave the show! - leave the show!
Will not leave the show! - leave the show!
Never, never, never will I go - leave the show!
No no no no no no no!
O mama mia, mama mia, mama mia leave the show.
Starfleet Command has a vessel put aside for me, for me,
For me!
* * * * * * * * * *
selection #1
Music: the tune of "Abdul Abulbul Amir"
The box office profits are valuable as gold
So the crew for the big screen did steer
And of all their six movies, the worst I am told
Is Star Trek: The Final Frontier.
Spock had a half-brother, the idea was lame
The F\X were all below par
In the credits the name, William Shatner, it came
Under writer, director, and star.
It was a disaster, the bomb was complete
It was worse than we even had feared
Sybok wasn't the only one feeling the pain
At this God-awful movie's premier!
Good morning campers! This week we are again fortunate to have a
bonus top ten list, again courtesy of noel@umbc2.umbc.edu (Noel
Tominack).

2. The commencement speaker will be the Captian of the Boseman

the TOP TEN lines you'll never hear
on Star Trek: The Next Generation
-------------------------------------------
10) Worf: Klingons do *not* play tiddlywinks!
9) Picard: It's too bad we don't live in an enlightened, civilized era
like they had in the twentieth century.
8) Geordi: Did you hear Wesley almost got kicked out of the academy
again?

Data: (looks puzzled) Pot? (brightens) Ah. Marijuana - a narcotic
obtained from the hemp plant. Cannabis. Weed. Mary Jane. Grass.
Reefer. Panama red...
7) Troi (to someone she is counseling): You've obviously mistaken me for
someone who cares! Now get out!
6) Worf: Ouch! I got a paper cut!
5) a Starfleet admiral: Don't worry about it, Picard, there's plenty of
other ships in your quadrant.
4) Riker: Not tonight - I have a headache.
3) Worf: Do we have to beam down right now? The Smurfs are on subspace
T.V.!
2) Geordi: We've modified the warp coils by reversing the polarity of the
inverse geometric phase integrator and adding a broad-band
neutrino flux generator to the hyper-magnetic field controls.
Riker: What will that do?

this lousy T-shirt!
1) (Picard) Starship Captains do it at warp speed!
NOTE: This week's installment is a collaboration between myself
and my sister Katie (chkimbal@colby.edu). In honor of the fact that it
has twice the usual number of authors, it is also twice the normal
length of a typical top ten list.
The unexpected can be rare on a show like TNG, where the writers'
motto is apparently "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle", but hopefully today's entry
is proof that TNG can still throw the occasional curve. To wit:
the TOP TWENTY surprise plot twists in upcoming TNG episodes
------------------------------------------------------------
20) Worf signs his son Alexander up for ballet lessons
19) The distress call they have been answering is a prank Wesley sent
from
the Academy
18) Guinan removes her hat, revealing that she is a Saturday Night Live
style Conehead
17) Picard beams down
16) All of Geordi's lines are in words of two syllables or less, with no
pseudo-scientific doubletalk
15) Troi runs amok with a machete
14) Barclay is really the Captain; Picard is just an ensign, and all of
his
"command" has been a holodeck simulation
13) No guest stars are relatives of Tasha Yar
12) Geordi gets a woman
11) Riker *doesn't* get a woman
10) Data states that he cannot use contractions after using one in the
previous scene, and the fabric of the universe, unable to withstand
the continuity error, is rent asunder
9) Picard wakes up muttering "there's no place like home"
8) Riker accepts command of another starship, the U.S.S. ZZ Top
7) Ten Forward is turned into a strip-joint, with its lead act being
Beverly
Crusher as "The Dancing, Disrobing Doctor"
6) Tired of not being sure whether he is a lieutenant or a chief petty
officer, O'Brien beams the entire bridge crew into a black hole and
assumes the rank of Captain
5) Picard fires the phasers
4) "Prime Directive" is the word of the day, entire crew goes
"Aaaaahhhhh!!"
at the top of their lungs whenever it is mentioned
3) Data's cat, Spot, is revealed as a Romulan spy
2) Wesley is affected the same as the rest of the crew, and a no-name
security
guard saves the ship
1) Picard switches from Earl Grey to Nestea Instant Tea Mix; does "Nestea
Plunge" into swimming pool on holodeck
Well, campers, this is the last top ten list I will be posting.
I'll have too much work to do the next couple weeks, with finals and
all, and then I graduate. If anyone out there wants a copy of any or
all of the lists, I will be here for two more weeks, and I will check
my mail occasionally, so just e-mail me your requests. I'd like to thank
everyone who sent me all the great e-mail. It's been fun.
the TOP TEN command decisions Captain Picard has to make
--------------------------------------------------------
10) Should he send Wesley an FTD Pick-Me-Up bouquet?
9) How big a tip to leave in 10-Forward
8) Should he open hailing frequencies or beam over a nice Hallmark
card instead?
7) Stock up on minoxidol or turtle wax?
6) Whether or not to have easy-listening music played in the turbolifts
5) Should he put Spock on his Christmas card list?
4) Whether or not to have Data's cat neutered
3) Whether or not to have Commander Riker neutered
2) Bud or Coors?
1) Keep matter/antimatter warp engines or switch over to natural gas?

Description: A silly Top 10 List
Hello, I am Noel Tominack from University of Maryland at Baltimore
County. I was a bit nonplussed at Dave Kimball's ending of the top 10
list and
decided to give it a shot myself.
Please rememenr I am new at this and don't have that flair yet. If
I
really do a lame job I'll just quietly slip away.
But for now, with the episode "I, Borg" coming up, I thought it
only
approrpiate that I bring you:
TOP 10 WAYS TO TELL YOUR ROOMMATE IS A BORG
10. Their clothes are always black
9. The $50,000 phone bills
8. They spend 3 weeks in Florida and still look white
7. Your home entertainment center disappears, two days later they are
wearing it.
6. TV reception gets poor when they walk by
5. They spend more time reading newsgroups than you do
4. Whenever you talk to them the laser on the side of their head
blings you
3. An electronics store chain used them as a mascot
2. They assimilate all your food
and the number one way to tell if your roommate is a Borg
1. Everything is irrelavant
