My fav (while it isn't on the list)

Picard can make bald and scrawny look Sexy and Macho.

But hey, Patrick Stewart was actually voted as TV Guide's Sexiest man of the year.

Anybody remember an old program called "Star Trek Explorer" by a Bob Yewchuck? (Or similar).

It had several very funny lists like this one (Picard better than Kirk and vice versa, Sisko better than Picard, Janeway better than any other.)

I'll have a look if I can dig them up somewhere.

I used to have that. Looks like I must have deleted it when trying to make space. That's unfortunate.
