Coolest sci-fi vehicles

USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)Image via WikipediaAlec Rosekrans compiled a list of the 20 coolest vehicles from the worlds of science fiction. On the list are Serenity of Firefly, the Enterpise and the Borg Cube of Star Trek, and the Death Star of Star Wars. I agree on the his selections but I kinda disagree on the order. Come on, a Klingon Bird of Prey is way cooler than the Millenium Falcon!

Pineapple Incident

Ted: Oh, daddy\’s back! See, if you\’d taken a moment to think about that…
Barney: Then daddy wouldn\’t have gotten this seven digit father\’s day card from Amy! Ahhh!
Ted: That worked?? I hate the world.
Barney: Ted, your problem is all you do is think, think, think. I\’m teaching you how to do, do, do!
Marshall: [giggles] Doo-doo!
Barney: Heh heh, totally!
Ted: So I think a lot! I happen to have a very powerful brain. It can\’t be helped.
Barney: Oh yes it can. [places a shot in front of Ted]
Marshall: Interesting!
Lily: Oooh!
Barney: Ted, I believe you and I met for a reason. It\’s like the universe was saying, \”Hey Barney, there\’s this dude, he\’s pretty cool, but it\’s your job to make him awesome!\”

[Ted laughs]

Barney: Your brain screws you up Ted. It gets in the way. It happened with Robin, it happened with half-boob… and it\’s gonna keep on happening until you power down that bucket of neuroses, inebriation-style.
Ted: So what, you..uh..you want me to do a shot?
Barney: OH NOO. I want you to do FIVE shots. [pushes tray of other four shots to Ted]
Marshall: OOOH, more interesting.
Ted: Barney, I think you\’ve officially…
Barney: NO! Don\’t think. DO!
Marshall: Ted, he\’s right. You over-think. Maybe, you should over-drink.
Marshall and Barney: Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink!
Ted: Uh Lily, will you tell these guys how stupid they\’re being?
Lily: Guys, you are being immature and moronic and DRINK DRINK DRINK!
Marshall: OH!
Barney: HA HA!
Marshall, Lily, and Barney: Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink!

[Ted takes the first shot]

Marshall, Lily, and Barney: YEAH! Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink!
Ted: Let me tell you something about this brain, okay?
Marshall, Lily, and Barney: Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink!

[Ted downs second shot]

Marshall, Lily, and Barney: YEAH!!
Ted: Mere alcohol cannot stop this brain.

[Ted knocks down the third shot]

Barney: I love it, I love it, I love it!
Marshall, Lily, and Barney: YEAH!! Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink!
Ted: This brain, dear mortals, is no ordinary brain.

[Ted pounds the fourth shot]

Marshall, Lily, and Barney: Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink!
Ted: This is a super-brain!

[Ted finishes the fifth shot]

Marshall, Lily, and Barney: Drink! Drink! Drink! YEAH!! Ha haa!
Lily: Hahahaha!
Ted: This brain is unstoppable! This brain…
Future Ted: …And that\’s all I remember.
