Enterprise, as seen in the original “Star Trek” television series.

I really liked the tag on Fark:
Captains Log, Stardate 4578.86: I'm sitting in my

What an awesome dorkfest. This is THE best laugh I have had all day. The Captain is oblivious.

A guy could pass the time while waiting by reliving some of the scenes from the t.v. show.
Imagine violently tossing yourself from side-to-side in the chair, like Shatner did when the Enterprise was supposedly under attack.
That would be fun. For a while.

actually, I guess it must have been taken at a convention because it looks like Nichelle Nichols in the picture.

Yea, sure, laugh it up at the nerd in the Captain’s chair ... it’s all fun and games until a photon torpedo burns the atmosphere off half the planet.

Oh my, you missed George “Sulu” Takai on the left (surprise). And there’s Walter “Chekov” Koenig in the middle.
