City Pages points us to Ultralingua, Inc, a Minneapolis-based company responsible for an electronic guide to conversational Klingon. Minnesota has something of a long history with Klingon anyway; after all, we were the location for the very first Klingon Language Camp in Red Lake Falls. Could the time soon be on us when more people speak Klingon than Navajo?

In a related story, the residents of town of Riverside, Iowa, are not happy with the new “Star Trek” film.
Why? Because they are the proud future birthplace of Capt. James T. Kirk, that’s why!
The new movie offers an alternative version of Kirk’s birth than the one the town embraces.

Why do they care? They still get the awesome Shatner Jim Kirk, and aren’t saddled with the new douchebag fratboy Kirk.

My thoughts exactly, max. I found Pine’s new version of JTK to be completely unlikable, unlike the Shatner version.
That said, Karl Urban really nailed it as a younger version of Dr. McCoy.

You guys are a clutch of uptight bitches. I liked the new Kirk. Saw the movie tonight.

Humph. You would like the new Kirk. But you are right about your first point…

I suppose you guys like Jean-Luc Picard, dithering his way through the universe, that Counselor Troi woman with her gift for empathy manipulating him like a marionette.
She ran the ship, and the whole crew knew it. Telling him how he has to understand Warf and his primitive culture. The growling, brooding sonofabitch was a token political appointment. The rest of the crew wasn’t much better. That creepy guy down in engineering with the glasses. Trombone playing first officer.
Liked a couple. The doctor was a decisive woman, and kinda hawt. That Lt. Yar that they killed off was as well. And, Data was cool.

Wow, Rat. Looks like you watched more ST:TNG than I ever did.
You’re a Trekkie!

Please, no more talk about Dick Cheney! Let’s more on, okay? (grin). The Rat’s brought his A Game to the site today. Nothing like some Trek Talk to kick a rainy Monday into gear.

After Roddenberry died, the Counselor didn’t have to wear the tight bodysuit outfits any more. It all went downhill from there…

He was probably on the set a lot.

Eddie Murphy used to tell crude jokes about Capt. Kirk. One involved a Green Woman. Noticed another Green Woman in this latest movie.
Wonder where they’re from: Planet of the Hot Green Women, I suppose.

Orion slave women are green. Duh! Perhaps I’ve said too much.
