The (semi)Great Star Trek Online Del Taco Shuttlecraft Giveaway!
Sometimes I just like to write superlong titles to see if WordPress can handle it or throw a hissy fit. You win this round, WordPress!
So, that’s right — I’m going to give away seven codes for STO’s shuttlecraft pet. This past weekend, my wife and I made a trek (heh) (get it?) (GET IT?) out to Del Taco in a very scary part of Detroit, just to snag a bunch of the cups with the codes on them. Thank my wife for the multiple cups — I was all selfish, only for ME, and she insisted I get some for you all as well. Bah! Good intentions!
And then a couple loyal Bio Break readers, Clinton and Sven, sent in their codes to share as well, so you have them to thank too. What is it with all these NICE PEOPLE? Why aren’t they out fragging campers or something!?!
Anyway.
Here’s how it’ll work. Just write a comment to this post (don’t forget to include your e-mail address) and something appropriately Star Trek nerdy to amuse me. Dance! DANCE for me, monkeys! I shall pick seven at random or upon my whim and send them out later today.
Rock on!
UPDATE: All the codes have been given out. Thanks for the big response — I wish I had enough codes to go around!

Question: How many ears does Picard have?
Answer: Three. A right ear. A left ear. And a final front ear.
Plenty more where that came form. Literally.
Life forms! You tiny little life forms! You precious little life forms! Where are you? …
(By Life forms, I mean Del Tacos locations.. they do not exist in this plane of existince here in the North East)
In the mirror world you get a taco pet for going to a space shuttle.
Tribbles!

Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature,
An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature.
Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses
Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses.
I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,
A singular development of cat communications
That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection.
A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents.
You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.
And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion,
It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.
Oh Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display
Connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array,
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.

Beam me up Syp….
What did spok see when he went into the bathroom on the starhip enterprise…..
The Captains log
Boom Boom
Klingons off the starboard bow!
Starboard bow,
Starboard bow,
Klingons off the starboard bow!
Scrape ‘em off, Jim!
Never did find a use for that phrase, other than reminding myself what good fun Dr. Demento was.
Please Mrs. Troi! … and it’s Worf not Woof
What did spock see when he entered the toilet?

Star Trek related but not funny. Do not watch it. It will probably kill you.
Oh, what’s a Del Taco?
When showing my 4 year old daughter what a model of the Klingon Warbird looks like she replied, what does it Klingon to?
She canna take much more of this Captain!
Tasha Yar: Data, your are fully… functional, right?
Data: Yes, I am anatomically complete. Also, I am programed in over four hundred methods of pleasuring.
Tasha Yar: That’s exactly what I wanted to hear!
Syp, wanna trade 2 star trek jokes for 1 code?
Overheard in a corridor:
Crewman: “I’ve got a brother at Starfleet Science Academy.”
Crewwoman: “What’s he studying?”
Crewman: “Nothin’. They’re studying him.”
McCoy: “I’ve borrowed Mr. Scott’s bagpipes.”
Kirk: “But you can’t play them.”
McCoy: “While I’ve got them, neither can he!”
Crewman: “Nothin’. They’re studying him.”
“Feljin, his arms wide! Syp, on a Road in Marshes of Madness! Feljin, when the walls fell. Feljin, his eyes uncovered. Feljin, his arms wide!”
Trivia Bit #1: How many alien races had Data encountered during his tenure in Starfleet (up to stardate 45047.2)?
Answer: 1754 (will STO allow that many permutations? I bet so!)
Trivia Bit #2: What was Picard’s first assignment on the USS Stargazer?
Answer: Flight Controller. (He later became captain of the Stargazer as a lt. commander which led to his field promotion to captain, one of the youngest in Starfleet at the time.)

Detroit: The final frontier
These are the voyages of Syp and family
Their 5 year mission
To explore strange new suburbs
To seek out new taco vendors and new macho-sized drinks
To boldly go where no MMO gamer has gone before…
No, scratch that. Fast food establishment and MMO gamer go together like an Enterprise-D saucer section and stardrive.
I wish there were Del Tacos in Canada
@Pitrelli at least you spent the time to check the spwelling…
In the middle of the earth in the land of the Shire
lives a brave little hobbit whom we all admire.
With his long wooden pipe,
fuzzy, woolly toes,
he lives in a hobbit-hole and everybody knows him
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
He’s only three feet tall
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all
Now hobbits are a peace-lovin’ folks you know
They don’t like to hurry and they take things slow
They don’t like to travel away from home
They just want to eat and be left alone
But one day Bilbo was asked to go
on a big adventure to the caves below,
to help some dwarves get back their gold
that was stolen by a dragon in the days of old.
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
He’s only three feet tall
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all
Well he fought with the goblins!
He battled a troll!
He riddled with Gollum!
A magic ring he stole!
He was chased by wolves!
Lost in the forest!
Escaped in a barrel from the elf-king’s halls!
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all
Now he’s back in his hole in the land of the Shire,
that brave little hobbit whom we all admire,
just a-sittin’ on a treasure of silver and gold
a-puffin’ on his pipe in his hobbit-hole.
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
He’s only three feet tall
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

I had no idea. I was raised in west Detroit along the Dearborn border by Tireman.

Wanna trade one story of a poor boy for a code?
“Once upon a time, a man was born in a land forgotten from any contest or promotion, till a day he, with only his own bravery, jump to the final frontier in an universe of strange pets and colorful uniforms. But he felt so lonely, questing in the space for save the federetion (more and more again) withouth even a tribble to keep him warm.. So he looked for a Del-taco shop, sellers of “provisions” in an unknow mirror universe where there’s no teleport or warp tecnology.. “OMG WTF IS THAT?” told the poor boy when he first seen that the closest shop to his town is on the other face of the world..”
Yes, this is the poor story a boy born in the wrong continent -.- “You’ve a request of aid on the screen, sir!”
