At the end of February, Nichelle Nichols, who played Lieutenant Uhura on Star Trek, visited President Obama at the White House. Yesterday, she tweeted a photo of them giving the Vulcan Salute together, like a couple of nerds. And today, you will tell us WHAT IS THE CAPTION FOR WHEN THEY DID THIS?
Winner will receive special placement in this week’s Monsters’ Ball. Live long and CAPTION! (Via LaughingSquid.)

May the Force be with you, Presidnt Obama!
I swear to God I was going to go with this, you fast-Internettin’ SOB.
Yup, I’m quicker with the comments than Baby Darth Vader driving his pod-racer, The Enterprise, in Star Trek I: The Phantom Generation.
STAR WARS SUCKS!
It’s Star TREK! *sniffle* Get it right…
Well, they’re all part of the same series, right? I just read the other day that George Roddenberry said he was never going to make the final trilogy, Generations 7-9.
Further proof he’s an illegal alien.
Shut ‘er down! This is the one!
Oh good, neither of them are wearing sparkly pirate gear or have evil goatees. They’re from our universe!
I thought his mom was a white lady.
-Joe Biden
Obama must be getting sick of all these famous people who Klingon to him.
Uhura you lookin’ at?
As a fellow dude with pointy ears, you just gotta embrace it.
Captain’s Log: Star Date 41582.4…5:53 PM Eastern Time Zone of Earth.
We have located Uhura. She’s been found on the flight deck of the White House Enterprise. Standing with the leader of the United States. He appears to be some mix of Vulcan and Klingon. Many of the country’s own people seem to argue over his origin.
We shall proceed with caution.
Also, I’ve lost my toupee and girdle and can’t leave my room.
I don’t have a caption, I just wanted to say that I think she is a national treasure.
OH, WAIT, THAT MOVIE TOTALLY MAKES SENSE NOW! I still thought Nicholas Cage was crap, though.
You know she almost quit the show? And Martin Luther King told her she was too important to quit?
I knew that.
I did know that! She is magical.
If you’re saying they were alive and active at the same time, which I’m not ready to believe yet, then why was Star Trek in color and MLK Jr always depicted in Black & White?
Wasn’t Star Trek originally in black and white?
Nope. I’ve seen them all a million times and they are all in color. *nerd*
Because Martin Luther King believed that color doesn’t matter.
She is wearing a communicator necklace!!! #nerdalert
She’s wearing red! #uhohalert
Actually, that’s just the symbol of The United Federation of Planets. The communicators in the later series (The Next Generation and everything following) had a slightly different design. Can we get some better nerds in here, please?
Live long and hug her.
Live Long and POTUS.

“Guys, come on. No gang signs.” – The Photographer
Is it because I’m black?
-Obama and Nichelle
I almost didn’t make this comment because it could definitely be construed as racist. That’s why I used the photographer as a mouthpiece. I’m accountable for nothing!
“A Terrorist Vulcan Salute.” -FOX & Fiends
Was “fiends” on purpose? I like it. “FOX and its network of users.”
It was on purpose.
Our first nerd president.

Not to be outdone, Newt Gingrich has scheduled a photo op with Ego The Living Planet, Mitt Romney has summoned the herald of Galactus to check and see when Galactus’ schedule is open, and Santorum tried to schedule a rocket ship to take him to heaven where he could be seen high fiving angels, but unfortunately Obama canceled the space program.
Chekhov almost made it to the Oval Office was detained after going on and on about ‘Nuclear Wessels.’
Sulu almost made it to the Oval Office but was detained after something about Sulu would go here but I know next to nothing about Star Trek.
He asked the president if he’d like to have a sword fight.
OH MY!

Uhuracare
Nichols was at the White House for an initial proposal meeting to found a National Endowment for the Mark Ruffalo.
The afternoon in the Oval Office was going great up until a frenzied Joe Biden stumbled in wielding a Bat’leth and a slick pair of aviator sunglasses, murmuring about how realistic the holodceck made everything look and insisting Obama call him ‘Number One.’
When approached to comment on the controversial rumor that he would work in an ‘alien origins’ story into the upcoming Barack Obama biopic, Michael Bay responded:
“Fans need to take a breath, and chill. They have not read the script [. . .] we are including everything that made you become fans in the first place. We are just building a richer world.”
I was so exhausted with that ‘news’ story before it was even reported. Michael Bay is exhausting, and all these people screaming their heads off are going to give him their money anyway after all the rumble-grumbling, and I wish they would all shut up and rest their cases already.
Dear Hollywood,
NEW RULE (well, actually it’s an old rule)– Don’t show or tell us shit about shit until you’ve got a trailer ready. Good god, What’s the matter with you? People are trying to live their lives. Put a muzzle on it, wouldja?

Maniacal laugh!
Dammit how do you make a picture?!
You only post the url up to the .jpg or whatever extension the image is.
Dammit how do you reply directly to a comment?!
Thanks, I knew I missed something obvious! Also I wish you could delete comments but that is the beauty of the internet, everyone can watch you fail.

To vote for anyone else would be illogical.
