Any Star Trek fans here?

The original and TNG. I have the others a chance, but have long ago abandoned them.

I will be going to the Star Trek Experience when I am in Vegas, next month...That my wife agreed is a true sign of love.

I loved John Belushi's imitation of Captain Kirk on SNL! Hilarious! For some reason, William Shatners priceline commercials reminded me of those skits.

Nothing like the original series! Shatner was classic and I could never get into the follow-ups.

How to Speak Klingon
There is actually an entire language to learn if you like, but this will see you through most of those Klingon language emergencies.

Difficulty Level: hard Time Required: thirty minutes



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's How:
First, spend a few minutes thumping your chest and snarling. This language is mostly about attitude.
Say "Ha! Ha! Ha!" as loudly as you can to get used to forcing sounds up from your diaphragm.
The most important word to know is "Qapla'" (pronounced "kap-LA!"), which is a way of wishing people "Success!" Imagine at least five scenarios where you might say this and grunt it out as loudly as you can, putting heavy emphasis on the second syllable.
The second most important word to know is "putaQ" (pronounced "poo-tak"), which is a nicely general insult.
There, now you have a sentence, "Qapla' putaQ!" (I wish you success, you jerk!)
Go up to someone you don't like, thump your chest, snarl, and grunt very loudly, "Qapla' putaQ!"
Run.
Tips:
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock has a lot of really good Klingon phrases translated in subtitles.
All words sound better with some of that long Klingon hair to fling around as you speak.
