We all loved Star Trek: The Next Generation at one time. right? This video by “Those Aren’t Muskets” has some awesome and funny jokes. If you were ever a Trek geek, you will find TONS of classic references. Features some of the best lyrics EVER! Like: I left the holodeck with a hollow dick.

Funny man, all around cool guy to hang out with(As long as he’s not behind you) and gay Enterprise hilmsman George Takei wants to have a big fat Trek wedding. That’s why he invited some of the crew.

“The best man is my colleague from Star Trek, Walter Koenig, who played Chekov, and the matron of honor is (Lt.) Uhura, Nichelle Nichols,” Takei tells PEOPLE. “And Leonard (Nimoy) and his wife Susan are on the (guest) list.”

Oh my! Perhaps he’ll do the Sulu dance.

Bead curtains are not just for 1960’s hippie dens anymore. These are made by artist Devorah Sperber. Kind of like pixel-art in 3D, she slides tens of thousands of beads onto threads to create these detailed geek portraits. This is some retro cool geek awesomeness right here.

Some of her works include the holodeck door, Enterprise-D’s bridge, and her “beaming down” series, which looks like the “real” special effect.

In my off time when I am not contemplating the death of various PopTherapy editors, I have been studying the fine art of comedy. . . More specifically, geek comedy. I have noticed that it seems to be a popular concept.

I would like to test a few jokes on your human sensibilities. . . Geek jokes will now commence . . . With a Star Trek slant.

Query: How does one protect data?

Answer: Hide him behind Worf.

Did you find that humorous?

Query: What do you call it when the omnipotent being known as Q gives you advice?

Answer: A Q-Tip. . .

When William Shatner enters Brooklyn, does he phone ahead and say “Kirk to Bridge”?

You know, I’m really starting to have a thing for the girls over there at Shiny Shiny. There’s just something about cute girls who bring things like this awesome Trek shirt to my attention. Things like this make me a happy geek.

By now you should all be familiar with the old joke about crewmen on the original Enterprise beaming down into danger wearing the dreaded red shirt. It’s only $12.99 from ThinkGeek, but if you wear it, we may never see you again.

Over at our sister site Slippery Brick, we made a list of geek themed home theaters earlier this week. It includes the Indiana Jones theater among others. Because when geeks have money and a love of movies anything is possible. Click the link below and check it out.

Say you are bored out of your mind. Say you are a William Shatner fan. Maybe both. Want some thoughts from the Shat on his “candid and personal views on life”? You need to beam thyself over to online video site VideoJug then.

The actor best known for Capitan James Kirk is doing videos over at VideoJug on all the things you’d want to know about him, from life raising his three daughters to how he got into hip hop music. We can’t say it is pretty to hear him rapping.

So, if you having nothing else to do, or love Shatner so much (in which case you have nothing else to do), you’ll find these videos entertaining long enough for Tribbles to mate enough to rule the world.

Blu-Ray Laser Phaser! - video powered by Metacafe

First off, this guy’s hypnotic voice makes me feel like Data himself is explaining things. Basically, you just install a Blu-Ray laser into a Star Trek phaser gun and you have a shiny new geek toy. It costs less than $100 to build, and possibly your eyesight.

I’m gonna try this myself over the weekend. If you don’t see any updates on Monday, it’s because I haven’t seen anything since Saturday.
