    Okay, I don't have that many funny first date stories, but here's a classic:

     

    I told a friend of mine that I liked this guy, and my friend told him (I still haven't forgiven him). So, the guy asked me out (and of course I said yes). Well, I get all ready to go, when my brother, Luke, hands me something. At first I don't notice and stuff it in my pocket, but when I am in the car, I pull it out.

     

    It turns out Luke gave me some condoms.

     

    :bow:

     

    I'm not sure my date noticed that I was carrying some rubbers with me (I sure hope he didn't). It didn't work out anyway (a whole different, boring story).

     

    But when I got home, I freaked out. Luke was just sitting there in his room, reading yet another "Sports Illustrated" issue, and I started yelling. He just told me that most guys aren't careful.

     

    That wasn't that funny, but it was sure embarassing. B)

     

    I have another one, which isn't really mine, it's my sister's (sister in-law). But I had a huge role.

     

    My brother went to Maryland State, right near where we live. He met this pretty (but kinda preppy) girl named Jolie Fay Carter. Jolie had.....let's just says she had TONS of experience. Anyway, they became friends, which was an unusal thing for my brother (let's just say he's more of the love 'em or leave 'em type) and then one day, he comes to me (it was when he came home on a weekend) and we sit down, and he asks me if he should ask her out. :biggrin: I was shocked, because why would he come to me? I was a fair number of years younger than him, and I had just gotten my first regular boyfriend. He was the jock, I was the geek. So why would he come to me? So I told him some things I would like if someone like him was asking me out. He did them, and she said yes.

     

    The next night, we got a knock on our door. I open the door, and a light brown-haired girl (wearing the newest chic blazer and plaid bermuda shorts. I also noticed the sixteen tons of make-up she had on) grabs me by the shoulders and basically yells, "You have to help me!" So, I was wondering who the heck she was, until I saw her work tag that had her picture and her name on it. It was Jolie. She came to ME for fashion advice and conversation tips with my BROTHER. ME. GEEKUM ULTIMATEM. She was litterally on the verge of a break-down. She told me she had never gone out with a friend before, and what would happen if it didn't work? It was obvious she had watched one too many Meg Ryan movies. I helped her the best I could (which was not much). She told me later that my brother thought that she looked extra fab that night (whoo! I could be a make-up artist or something).

     

    The even more ironic thing was that they went out for around two years, and then they got married. All because of lil' geeky me. Well, not all because of me.

     

    Those were my weird stories. I felt I should contribute. :bow:

    Okay, I know that is kinda stupid question, because it seems like everyone here is completely in love with Trek (I know I am).

     

    It's just that my friend and I got in an arguement. See, she's a huge Firefly fan, and she said that Firefly was better that all the Star Trek series. Well, I said that was bogus and we got into this huge fight.

     

    So, I was thinking, which do you guys think is better? And why is which side better than the other? I just want to be able to see both views of the matter.

     

    And please, no bashing. :biggrin:

    I thought it was a very good last episode. I mean, TOS didn't even have a last episode, TNG's last episode kinda confused me, DS9 just had a stupid ending (why the heck would the Founders just surrender like that?) and Voyager's ending was kinda boring.

     

    Yah, it was kinda weird having the TNG peeps there for a while, but it was cool to have ENT integrated with the rest of the Trek universe. I never really got that feeling until the last episode.

     

    And I'm kinda glad they killed of Trip. Not because I don't like him, but because it made it more dramatic. Think about it, if they hadn't killed him, there would really be no total climax. The climax would only really be the ending where the treaty is signed. Also, if they had not killed him, this last episode would go in the line of really boring last episodes (TNG's last ep. wasn't boring, but I got....confused).

     

    And I really liked the last part with all three of the Enterprises. Now THAT was cool.
