I know at least one of you ladies is as big a Star Trek fan
as I am, so for you:
Twenty-Five Reasons I like Kirk over Picard.
2. Picard's
3. Kirk does not play the flute.
4. When Kirk blew up the
5. Kirk collects antique guns. Picard collects antique
matryoshka nesting dolls.
6. Kirk chastises omni-powerful super beings for not being
polite to women.
7. Kirk once ordered Scotty to fire a photon torpedo on his
position and then he dodged out of the way so it hit the alien he was fighting.
8. When it's time for shore leave Kirk goes rock climbing
and drinks whiskey. Picard wears Speedos and reads by the pool.
9. Kirk jumps horses in his spare time. Picard owns a fish.
10. Picard's engineer wears goofy wrap-around sunglasses. Kirk's
engineer wears a kilt and can drink you under the table.
12. Kirk can beat a Vulcan at chess.
13. Everyone knows the phrase "Beam me up, Scotty!"
The phrase, "Energize whenever you are ready, Mr. La Forge," doesn't
exactly have the same notoriety.
14. Kirk once yelled, "No blah-blah-blah! No blah-blah-blah!"
and made it sound important.
15. Kirk's hand phaser is sleek and sexy. Picard's hand
phaser looks like a Hoover Dirt Devil.
16. Kirk fought the Greek god Apollo. And won.
17. When Kirk gets punched in the face he just wipes the
blood off his lip and looks at it with a smirk.
18. Kirk chops his own firewood.
19. The main computer on Kirk's
20 When Kirk disguised himself as a Romulan, he stole a
cloaking device and used it to escape to Federation space. When Picard
disguised himself as a Romulan he ate some soup and then got captured.
21. Even though they haven't existed for hundreds of years, Kirk can still drive a stick shift.
22. Kirk never dressed in green tights and pretended to be
Robin Hood, and if he had, someone would have paid for it.
23. Kirk blatantly disobeys one out of every five Starfleet
orders just to remind them who's really minding the store.
24. Kirk once kicked a Klingon into the molten core of an exploding planet.
25. Style: Kirk did it first, he did it better and he did it wearing gold velour and Beatle-boots with a space girl on each arm.
Ah, but Picard is a more mature man. Kirk has retained the enthusiasm of the newly graduated Officer.
