On a previous The Graham Norton Show, Graham Norton brought out Liam Neeson and Patrick Stewart’s respective action figure bling and had them “duke it out.”
Funny embarrassments ensue.

Thank You Internet: Patrick Stewart Knighted with a Bat’leth
Posted by mistergroonk in Intertube Madness on June 8, 2010
In case you didn’t know. Patrick Stewart was knighted by the Queen “for reals.”
Internet added the Bat’leth afterwards (as Internet often does). The only question is, ‘how long did it take for it to happen?’
The Yorkshire-born star said he would be celebrating his knighthood with Cecil Dormand, the teacher who first encouraged him to consider acting as a profession.
“He was the one that put a copy of Shakespeare in my hand [and] said, ‘Now get up on your feet and perform’.”
Stewart’s lucky. We regret there was no teacher, in youth, that inspired us to such greatness.
iPad Frenzy: “Captain’s Log†App Just Made Star Trek Geeks Wet their Pants
Posted by mistergroonk in Apps, Technology, The Future on March 31, 2010
Let’s build some iPad hype, yes?
The PADD was a wondrous Star Trek device that damn damn near what any plot required in the 24th century.
The iPad is a wondrous 21st century device that Steve Jobs says will change the world as you know it.
The “Captain’s Log” is an iPad app that blends 21st century happenings with 24th century props. You bet your ass we’re gonna own the hell out of it once we own a second generation iPad.
UPDATE: Because nothing good lasts forever: ‘Star Trek app for iPad pulled after infringement complaint‘
How To: Build Your Own Working Star Trek Phaser, Not a Joke
Posted by mistergroonk in Just Freaking Neat, Tutorials, Video on January 21, 2010
Words fail.
A Star Trek fan has modified a phaser from The Original Series and turned it into a balloon popping terror. If you want to make your own just follow his instructions.
First person to alter those specs to make it a Han Solo blaster instead of a James T. Kirk equalizer gets several pints of the finest beer from us.*

*Only if we get a free working version.
New Trek Trailer Attacks: James T. Kirk Tells You His Name.
Posted by mistergroonk in Movies, Trailers on November 17, 2008
It has been decided, amongst those in control of this site (meaning me), that the area of interest this month shall be the movies. In part, it will be about a few that are out now. The other part shall be on the future flicks. Both require that trailers be available for the showing. Any opinions written afterward will be about the trailer alone and not the movie.
Yes, the month is almost done. I figure that’s more than enough days to cover the films that look worth throwing $10 at.
Let’s start with this new Star trek trailer everyone’s jawing about.
On the surface, the “wow factor” can’t be ignored. James T. Kirk: action man. Spock: a soul divided. The rest didn’t get enough lines to make a snap analyses. Although, Simon Pegg as Scotty is growing on me.
The geek in me fights hard at the logic of building a starship, that is not known for hanging out under the atmospheric veil of planetoids, on the freaking ground. We’ll tie that guy up for now. For now, I’ll say my interest is piqued, Mr Abrams. My wallet will open for you come next year’s zombie thaw.
