WE DID IT!

EPIC PARTY POST MAXED OUT COMMENTS

5 days, 123 hours.
For a while, it wouldn't let us post!

we'd like to thank squeeloud_bb for making the cool video that made this post happen!

special mention to edthehorse, whose nearly tireless efforts helped start and maintain this madness.

and thanks to everyone who participated - every little comment counted. :)

yes, the post did contain all of the usual pics and gifs. But, due to the length of the thing, we sometimes had to get creative. Finding banner generators, finding TNG/DS9/Voyager/Enterprise things to spam, making fun of Captcha.

right near the end, we started a band.

MEMBERS AND WHAT THEY DO:
LEAD VOCALS:- JAMES T KIRK

I checked the rules and it said the max allowed outside of cuts was 600 X 600, which happens to be the size of this



like many great things, it started with a gif.

BONES

OK, thanks to the family for believing in me even when I had to leave the planet and become a StarFleet Medic. I mean you guys didn't say so in so many words - in fact the words you did say were 'What are you crazy? You don't even like Space!' but I'm sure deep down - really really deep down you guys believed in me so thanks.
And to Captain Pike for making me Chief Medical Officer on Enterprise and then Lead Guitarist on The Prime Directive - you know even though you didn't have a choice because my predecessor had just died and you could have just shot Jim down the second he had the idea for this crazy band but Noooo just because Jim Kirk says it we have to give it try, but um yeah - thanks man.
Thanks to Jim even though you kept getting me into trouble all the time when we were cadets and even though you could have got me expelled when you cheated on your Kobayashi Maru and even though kept bugging me to join your band the moment I told you I could play guitar despite the fact I kept telling you that I was a doctor, not a Rockstar and in fact why am I thanking you Jim?
Jim thinks I should thank my ex-wife but you know what I don't think so. It takes two to tango. It was not my fault and do you know what space is like? It's full of darkness and disease and if its not the kligons trying to kill you its the romulans with their freaking red matter and tribbles. I could have lived my entire life happily never having to deal with tribbles so yeah, thanks bitch. Thanks a bunch.
Thanks to the rest of the band for not telling Jim where to go with his idea, especially you Spock, you pointy eared bastard. What made sense about a bunch of Officers forming a band? WHERE WAS YOUR LOGIC THEN? And what about the rest of you I mean Chekov I can understand - he was in diapers last week but seriously. Uhura I though at least you had sense - no wait - you're banging the VULCAN. Where was I - oh yeah, thanks.
And thanks to the fans - you guys make sure I always have enough mint Juleps which I need to deal with having to fly aoround in space with these imbiciles all day

Spock
It is only logical that when one is about to embark on an endeavour of this magnitude that one express gratitude to all those individuals whose efforts have brought said endeavour to fruition.

When Captain Kirk initially approached me to explain his idea for our current enterprise - Captain? I do not comprehend what you mean by 'puntastic', the fact that Our ship was also called Enterprise is irrelavent to my choice of phrase. 'Puntastic' is not a word. Please do not keep using it. When Captain Kirk initially approached me with his vision I was hesitant - for I could not see the logic of such a situation. I had words with a very knowledgable acquaintance of mine who has the benefit of many years of experience and he suggested that in such difficult times as the re-population of their race my fellow Vulcans might be able to draw inspiration and hope from the lyrics and musical compositions of The Prime Directive. I would like to acknowledge said aquaintence but it is imperitive that he remain nameless but his councel and judgement are much appreciated.
I would like to thank Captain - no Captain, I shall not refer to you as Captain Fine. For the reason that it is not your name! Please refrain from your interruptions. Despite his somewhat more trying qualities, Captain Kirk has been a loyal and worthy friend and a skilled and efficient Captain. His enthusiasm is what I believe is a major part of the appeal of The Prime Directive. Even though he is not always logical he has taught me that sometimes it is prudent to abandon logic and to trust on instinct. Captain, please do not wipe your nose on my shirt - you are not emotionally compromised, you are attempting to discomfit me for your own amusement!
I would like to extend my regards to Captain Pike. He has been a model Captain, his counsel has always been invaluable. If he had not extended his endorsement for The Prime Directive I might have been reluctant to find myself to comply. Captain, I do not comprehend what you are implying - of course that is not what I said last night, in fact I did not speak to you last night.
Captain, for this next segment please refrain from making any crude remarks. Nyota, I sometimes struggle with expressing my appreciation for you - Captain, please stop thrusting in that vulgar manner. Nyota there are many things I wish to say but do not feel at ease in the presenc of the captain. I shall express them in solitude - Jim, Stop it.
I would like to thank the rest of the crew, or rather band. Even though on occasion they do not follow my logic they have always extended their support to the best of their abilities and performed their duties admirably.
Finally I would like to thank my parents. I believe my father would be appreciative if I supressed my human side so I shall simply say thank you.There have been many times that I have needed your support, even when I did not know it myself but you have always come to my aid and for that I offer my gratitude.
For my mother - I was unable to save my mother when Vulcan was destroyed and for that I can not forgive myself but I know that she would forgive me. My mother always wanted what was of optimum benefit for me. She would put her own needs and desires aside to cater for her childs. when I considered joining the Vulcan science academy and shutting out the human side of me she encouraged with selflessness. She must have - excuse me Captain? Yes I am aware this is getting long but I must fully appreciate my mothers qualities - what did you say - It was not 'nothing' Captain - are you too craven to speak it to my face? I AM CALM, DR MCCOY! I AM COME BACK HERE! 'APPRECIATE MY MOTHER'S QUALITIES IN BED' WOULD YOU? ASFGLRTAHDVGERUIYSEFS!!!!!11!!ELEVENTY!!! *SPOCK SMASH*

Scotty

It's weird being in a band because its the last thing I expected. I never wanted to be in a band - I mean not that there anything wrong with that, you see some strange things when you're on a ship like the Enterprise and being a founding member of the first Starfleet Rockband is nothing compare to that. See the other day these freakazoids took Keenser captive and I thought they wanted to eat him - but really they wanted to mate with him. This would have never happened in Scotland.

But the Enterprise make everything worth it. I mean she is the sweetest piece of machinery you ever did see. It's like she speaks to me. She can handel anything any alien freak wants to throw at her. She's such a good girl - as long as I take care of her, she takes care of us.

Some people turn their noses up at her - there was this one weirdo who said her engine room looked like a brewery. Well I doubt he'd ever been in either a ship's engine room or a brewery before. Some people dont understand what's needed to get a ship of this size and this technologically advanced running. I won't explain the maths because you wouldn't appreciate it but it is a delicate balance.

If I had to leave the Enterprise I would have never agreed to be in The Prime Directive. We're a pair, a team. We go together like manamanamana padibada dingy bum. We've been in a many a tight spot and sometimes it looks bad but we get through it. So I am going to take a moment to say thank you for all the good times and all of the times we've been there for each other.

I love you, baby!

What?

Chekov

Hello, this is Pavel Andreievich Chekov. It is my turn to write the liner notes now! Keptin sez zis is where I should thenk him and tell everywun zat he is made of - keptin, are you sure zis is a word? It is not in my dictionery - Awesomesauce. I hev newer herd of zis Awesomesauce but all the best sauces were inwented in Russia so mebbe it is not wery good sauce.

But I would like to thenk my mother and my father also for raising me and allowing me to go to Starfleet when I was only fourteen and for prowiding me wid ze best education to make this possible. You may not know zis but Russia has all the best schools.

I will also thenk Captain Pike for taking chances on me even though I am only sewenteen. And to Dr Bones and Lieutenant Uhura and Mr Scotty and to Mr Spock ewen though sometime he is a bit scary wen he throws the Keptin around the room.

Lieutenant Sulu sez zey do zis because zey heve UST and zen Lieutenant Uhura sez betch, please zer is no U or T zere is only S with me and zis makes me wery confused.

I will thenk Lieutenant Sulu seprately because he teaches me menny things. He sez if I want he will teach me the way of ze sword and I sez yes I want because Lt Sulu is wery good with his sword and zen Lt Uhura starts laughing and sez oh i bet he is and Lt Sulu tells her to leave me alone. Zis is wery confusing to me also.

Anyway thenk you for listening to our band. Please keep buying our records and I will optimise the wectors for all of you!

Uhura

Right so is it my turn now? Hmm funny the girl has to go last, isn’t it? What’s that? Speak up sugar, I can’t hear you - not that a man who refers to himself as Captain Fine would have anything worth hearing!

Oh please, I roomed with Gaila for three years, do you think girls don’t talk? I know what they say about men with big egos is true. Whatever boy, talk to the hand because the face isn’t interested.

So a big thank you to all the folks at home! I made it mom! Aren’t you glad I didn’t listen to you after all?

Spock, I’m not gonna say much here because these jokers are all mentally 12 and I don’t want to ruin what should be a special moment but honey, you can compromise my emotions any time. I don’t care if you take offense to that remark Sulu, Oh you know you’re all still at the ooo girl cooties stage of life.

Alright I suppose I should thank the rest of the band. I don’t know what for - it’s hard being the only one with a brain around here. But Sulu, Chekov - thanks for being cool to hang out with, Doctor - thanks but you need to lighten up, dude, Scotty - you got issues man, you need to get off the ship and find a girl but thanks for the good times. Oh and Captain Pike thanks for the band! It wouldn’t be the same without you.

FINE. Thanks to Captain Kirk - stop trying to make Captain Fine happen, Jim IT’S NEVER GOING TO CATCH ON!

Thanks to all the fans who support us - you guys make this rock chick’s life! Keep on Rocking y’all!

Sulu

Go Go BADASS SPACE FENCING NINJA GO!

OK Lets do this thing! Thanks to Mom and Dad - I know this isn’t what you envisioned but hey I’m a Pioneer in every sense of the word! Boldly going where no man - Ow! Uhura don’t pinch! - or woman has gone before WITH THE POWER OF ROCK!

Thanks to all my teachers, who have said they 'don’t want to be named thank you very much' but thanks all the same guys. Especially my fencing instructor - you’re the best - yes it is fencing. What do you mean that is not a foil - it doesn’t have to be a foil! It can be any - YES EVEN A KATANA - Pavel, help me out here.

I want to give a big shout out to my man Pavel here. I mean everyone doesn’t take him serious because of his age but seriously, this kid’s a genius. I have never seen anyone manipulate vectors the way he does - aw, don’t mention it buddy , I feel the same way about you. Stop smirking Uhura! Pavel’s a top man and I want him to know I’ve always got his back - I don’t like what you’re implying Uhura! Don’t - it doesn’t mean ANYTHING, Pavel - Uhura leave him alone. Don’t corrupt him with your filthy mind - don’t you have to go have kinky mind melt sex with your VULCAN. PON FARR BABY! WELL YOU STARTED IT!

OK uh I’m running out of time so um thanks to Captain Pike our manager and to Captain Kirk who’s our founder and thanks to the rest of the band except Uhura because her mind is always in the gutter and uh to all you guys! YOU MAKE US AWESOME!

secret_weapon also wrote some epic fic, but since that's not allowed here, it'll probably turn up at the upcoming comm to_boldly_rock.

I'm thrusting on your thrusters
weapons sharp and with luster
so bright they flash some lensflare

with Épée or Katana
I know by the end you'll wanna
surrender into my care

cause I'm a
Fencing Space-Ninja, baby
don't have to dress in all-black
to get you on your back

cause I'm a
Fencing Space-Ninja, baby
not just ninja of the night-
cause in space there's stars

there are borders you must cross
for really living

FIGHT!

"Logic in the Night"

Darling
when you see a face
a face nearly sculpted by light

though I try to fight
with my being
all the feelings

there's just one course of action that's right

loooogic
logic in the night
there's nothing else I can do
when I'm haunted by you
is what's rational right?
