SUBMIT ENTRIES FOR DAY 5 HERE!

"FIVE LATINUM BARS"

Claim a spot by submitting your meme the day/post prior (ie - post meme for day 5 on day 4). In the event of multiple submissions, most upvoted by day's end takes it. Tie breaker based on my poor taste.

1 ummthatguy - "An O'Brien in agony"

2 negativenull - "Two ejected warp cores"

3 The Picard Maneuver - "Three French Captains"

4 negativenull - "Four phasers phasing"

5 "Five latinum bars"

6 "Six Vulcan Mind-melds"

7 "Seven Jeffrey Combs"

8 "Eight Janeway coffees"

9 "Nine redshirts dying"

10 "Ten humanoid aliens"

11 "Eleven Rikers Riking"

12 "Twelve cloaking warbirds"

5 latinum bars.

This is good. Very good.

It's no contest for this one - perfection.

Are all the spots taken or if somthing gets more upvotes than one that's already taken, does it override the one already listed?

If the latter, I'd like to submit "twelve tribbles birthing."

Edit: Oh, but it says to submit only for the following day. But if that's the case, why are they all filled out? Just what you'll use if you don't get any submissions?

Oh, also, the image on this page: Kirk up to his chest in tribbles looking dejectedly at one

The categories are already set, it's just a matter of meme interpretation. In the event of no submission I can fill in the gaps, but something tells me there are enough willing. 11 rikers is a bit intimidating, though.

Also, the article came out after the Short Trek "The Trouble with Edward" which already depicts a ship being overrun with tribbles within a week. Gotta love click bait.

11 rikers is a bit intimidating, though.

I have an idea, whether it gets implemented or not is a whole other story. That's a lot of layers, and 25 years of corporate IT has me loathe to sit in front of a computer any more than I have to. Add executive dysfunction and seasonal depression into the mix and I'm much more likely just to upvote everyone else's stuff lol.

Most upvoted wins

I watched the DS9 episode with O’Brien recovering/suffering from the 20-year accelerated mental prison sentence just last night!

I'm late to the party but thought I'd share anyway... Klingon Death Howl

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Still a solid category for next year.

Looking back at this Klingon design, even the armor is silly. Move your neck too much and you puncture your jugular.

Whilst I love this, you do realise that 25 December is the first day of Christmas, not the twelfth? So the Twelve Days of Christmas run from 25 December to 5 January (which is why it's considered bad luck to keep your Christmas tree up after 5 January, aka 'Twelfth Night').

You've started your countdown 12 days too early!

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

My response when I fielded this observation on day 2:

"I intended to have the meme completed prior to Christmas day as a gift. One that the community helps piece together. Not to mention the "holiday spirit" tends to drop off shortly after."

[–] theinspectorst@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

Fair enough!
