Are you bored, Mojo?

A bagel could work well as one of those Trade Federation battleships, I assume.

Didn't the Millennium Falcon have its design roots in a Big Mac?

Well, I guess taken together they explain a few things about Lucas. Like his chins, for starters.

Oh, back when I was a growing boy (sic) I used to see food in starships all the time. Nacelles became hot dogs. Saucer sections became lemon merangue pies. The Defiant looked like a Turtles chocolate. Spacedock would appear in the mushroom stroganof, which I could slurp down with my Voyager spoon section. And don't even start with the oxo cubes..!

Then came the day I tried to eat my Micro Machines, and my parents stopped buying them for me. [Frown]

If you bite into an English Muffin the right way three times, it sort of ends up looking like a Draconian Mothership from Buck Rogers.

Mojo, maybe you should go take a break and watch a movie. A good romantic comedy perhaps.

*suddenly realizes 'a good romantic comedy' is an oxymoron'*

How about "Bridge over the River Kwaii?"

I had a Gyro sandwhich tonight and it sort of reminded me of the cave in which the Enterprise found the Pegasus.

I dunno why, but everytime I eat a taco, I think of my girlfriend.

Sometimes it happens with tuna fish too. Not so often since she came to live with me, though.

Maybe because I don't eat out as much as I used to?

As for starships, nah. unless you count the cheese cubes you get at cocktail parties. I'm usually so fucking bored at those things that I'm Imagining things to amuse myself...

Hence, the chedder cheese collective, come to assimilate my stomach.

god have mercy on a chronic tee vee watcher, eh?

After drinking too much wine at a party once, the Porcelain Goddess recieved a tribute which looked very much like a Horta. Does that count?

Okay... this thread is starting to creep me out...

The only time I saw a food as a starship was when I baked a cake modeled after the USS Prometheus in Voyager's Message In A Bottle.

Well, the crashed ship in Alien rather reminded me of a chicken wing. . . 8)

Hmmm...the closest I've come is the mustard bottle I turned into a starship and started a thread on in the Creativity section (feel free to model it, Mojo [Smile] ). I also sometimes pretend that my remote control is a starship... but only when The West Wing is on...

I had this HUGE plate of mashed potatoes one night... and suddenly I inexplicably started sculpting out a large object - it looked like a mesa or a mountain. [Wink]

My sister had a really really crappy toy robot thing... but one of the arms looked like a very cool phaser/disruptor-y kind of thing.
