Klingon, Romulan, or Ferengi?
 

I'm starting this thread here to generate a bit of traffic first, then I'll probably move it to Entertainment.

So, on with it: You wake up tomorrow to find you've been afflicted with a horrible disfigurement. You have your choice, though, because Karma isn't that harsh yet.

Which do you choose? The Klingon forehead, the Romulan haircut (not so fast, the hair cannot be cut or styled, it's stronger than steel this haircut is, so no combing, either), or the Ferengi ears?

You must explain your choice as well.

Oh, yeah. Klingons suck!

I take the Romulan haircut.

The Romulan haircut comes with pointy ears. I'll consider that an acceptable tradeoff.

Romulan hair. I would rather not have a severe deformity for my ears or forehead, whereas a haircut in poor style would draw less attention and affect me less. The bonus of steel strength would also open up headbutts if I were to find myself in a fight. :D

but remember, Ferengi ears are sexual organs.

Yeah, I'm not interested in wearing my sexual organs on my head.

Agreed. I'd go for the haircut. No matter how strong the hair is, you can always wear a wig...

Klingon women? Too bold of a complexion for my taste.

Female ferengi do have smaller ear lobes than the males, as evidenced here in Quark's mother Iska.

Commander Sela didn't have terrible hair, though she was only half Romulan, since Tasha Yar was her mom. Maybe her hair is only half-steel. I'll risk it and take her hair.

Klingon all the way baby. Nothing says bad-ass like crown ridges and saggital crests. Hey if you're going to geek out, might as well go all the way. The Romulan thing is too pussy for my taste.

K'plah!!

Amen brother!

K'plah!!

Ferengi are pathetic worms and Romulans are just pussy Vulcans with attitude.

K'plah!!

I'll take the Klingon forehead and give a forehead smash to anybody who laughs.

Forhead, and then i will become emporer of klingon nerds everywhere!

Muwahahaha!

They're not, they're just erogenous zones. All the bits are in the same place as us.

K'plah

I highly dislike the Romulans, never could stand the ferengi (mostly the teeth though I'm not a fan of the ears either).

Also, the parallels between Klingon history and Dwarven history in Warhammer are too strong to ignore, and I really like the dwarves as well.

what the hell is a klingon?

Is it bad that this thread just taught me what a ferengi is?

.. I was hoping for photo examples of the choices because the only phrase I recognized was Klingon.

Genuinegirl gave pretty good photo examples.

................................

I don't know what K'plah means, but I'll go with Klingon too.

They're pretty badass.

Death isn't an option?

I would prefer the Klingon forehead if it comes with a raptor.

Fuck, it isn't working.

Why only those three choices? I wanna be a Cardassian. :p

And I wanted to be an Andorian...

Regarding the OP question: I would choose Romulan.
Who needs it cut or styled? It's already perfect.

Yes, that's bad.

Your death would have no honor. You wouldn't join your noble ancestors in Sto-vo-kor.

Holy CRAP I'm a nerd.

Thank you for proving why we need an award that JumpinJesus suggested just a LITTLE too late to the rest of the staff: Tilted Geek or Tilted Nerd. I think that the recipient would most likely view it as a badge of honor.

Perhaps next month.

Her second photo didn't work.. but I was looking for it in the OP. Oh well. :orly:

Yes, but it's soo hot. Rawr. Nothing I like more than a guy who knows his Trek.

I would hang myself if I woke up with either of those. Now if I would have to wear Darth Vader helmet or have Darth Maul eyes, then we'll talk.

I'd probably want to look like a Klingon, because no one would mess with me if I looked like that.

Oh, and Klingon women are hawt.

I thought about going Klingon simply because 1) they always wear these outfits where they have super-hot cleavage and 2) they get away with being huge bitches. I could go for that. The bad teeth...not so much. I wonder if the Klingons have ever heard of orthodontics.

Silly Snowy. Everyone knows the Klingons are decended from the English.

So, ya, Klingon foreheads for me

So... Klingons descended from England.

EDIT: The Jazz beat me to it, because I was pondering the appropriateness of saying I wanted to be Kardassian and that I would SO fuck my sister.

I decided the ew factor was too high and that people might lose respect for me. Now I realize they never should have had it in the first place.

So there it is.

Impossible. The English are too squeamish.

I fixed the photo that wasn't working - now everyone like Hal and merleniau who don't have a quick mental image of super common Star Trek aliens can make an informed decision.

Those are the ones that stayed behind and proved to be the diversion in the species. That and the irrational Klingon fear of umbrellas.

And you say this knowing a standard Romulan hairstyle? http://www.liberalrapture.com/upload...lan-789281.jpg

Ah. That makes more sense.

Ok....I know what a Klingon is. But what's a Romulan, a Vulcan, or a Ferengi. I see a bunch of pictures up there and I can't tell which is which....

Romulan:

Vulcan (not an option given by the OP):

Ferengi:

Clear enough for you, KellyC?

Much better, thank. :D
The Romulan the Vulcan look kinda similar.

You wouldn't say that if you'd ever heard Shakespeare in the original Klingon!

Yeah, there's just something about a woman who hurls heavy objects at you and then bites your face...
