If Harry Mudd offers you crystal meth, just say no.
My favorite is how every tab in File Explorer says "C:\Users\Adam\Documents ..." then cuts off.

The tab isn't big enough for the whole path, so you can't tell which tab is which. Microsoft could easily fix it by putting only the folder name on the tab. Instead tabs have been useless FOR YEARS.
General Chang sure had a way with words.
I never realized Lower Decks was so violent!
It will give a future race of hyper-intelligent squirrels something profound to gaze upon while they ponder what might have caused human extinction.

I loved the Chinese finger puzzle gag in "The Last Outpost" as a kid, so my dad bought me one. That's one of my earliest Trekkie memories.

Have you ever listened to an album called "Basie Meets Bond"? It's a novelty album of the Count Basie Orchestra playing music from Dr. No, From Russia with Love, Goldfinger, and Thunderball. (Basie's version of "Goldfinger" might be the coolest piece of music ever recorded.)

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

I also thought I didn't like musicals. It turns out I don't like Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals, and I grew up in the '80s and '90s so I thought that was the only kind.

Cabaret is awesome. I saw it on Broadway back in the day with Alan Cumming playing the MC.
In addition to being top-notch every time on Star Trek, he also plays a villainous DA in one of my favorite episodes of Quantum Leap, "Last Dance Before an Execution."
"Do you want to spend all your money to fill your house with plastic crap to show your support for a fictional universe where materialism has been rejected?"

Classic Vendorian morality test.
I choose to believe the Vendor room at every Star Trek convention is filled with Vendorians.
Star Trek II and Star Trek III are really one soundtrack, as far as I'm concerned.
