(Luke Ski speaks in a southern accent)
Yeeee-Hooo! How y'all doin' out there tonight? Make some noise, c'mon! (audience cheers) All right! How many "Star Trek" fans we got out there tonight? (audience cheers) Me too, I like "Star Trek", although I wouldn't exactly consider myself to be a Trekker, or a Trekkie. A lot of people ask me "Well, what's the difference between a Trekker and a Trekkie"? Well best I can tell, a Trekker is a "Star Trek" fan, and a Trekkie is someone who insists that you should be calling them a 'Trekker'. So... You groan now, but you'll be telling it to your friends tomorrow, I guarantee it. But nowadays, being a 'Trekkie' ain't just about "Star Trek", Hell no! Now, not only so you have to be into Star Trek, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and Enterprise, but also Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Return Of The Jedi, The Phantom Menace, Attack Of the Clones, Revenge Of The Sith, Babylon Five, Farscape, Lost In Space, Hercules, Xena, comic books, action figures, role playing games, Hell, it's Fan-delirium out there! So now there's a lot of people walking around who just don't know if they're a Trekkie or not. So, I came up with this little test to help them out. Things like, uh...
If you've ever showed up for jury duty in a Starfleet uniform... You might be a Trekkie.
If you consider foam latex, spirit gum, and chain mail a business expense... You might be a Trekkie.
If you claim to be the alien clone love child of Mulder and Scully.... And that's next week on Jerry Springer, by the way... You might be a Trekkie.
If you've ever woken up on a Sunday afternoon, in full costume, in a hotel lobby, with a bottle of Jack Daniels in your hand... Well in that case you might be a Klingon, but uh, we won't get into that right now.
If you have a summer home in Roswell... You might be a Trekkie.
If your eight year old owns less toys than you do... You might be a Trekkie.
If you ever mugged someone for their Magic cards... You might be a Trekkie.
If your dice have more sides than a Denny's Menu... You might be a Trekkie.
If you go to the Renaissance Festival, and they won't let you leave... You might be a Trekkie.
If George Lucas asks you to proof read his scripts for continuity errors... (Luke Ski speaks in a higher-pitched southern accent, pretending to speak on the phone) Yeah, George, here on page 81, I just don't think Yoda would tell Obi-Wan to 'Get Jiggy Wit It'... And you're not serious about putting that Jar Jar character in there are you? You are? Well, you're the boss. GIT 'ER DONE! (back to previous voice)... You might be a Trekkie.
If you have ever attempted the Jedi Mind Trick at the drive-thru window... (Luke Ski switches back and forth between voices)
Beavis: That'll be $13.27 sir.
Obi-Wan: You won't be charging me for this food.
Beavis: I won't be charging you for this food.
Obi-Wan: And you won't skimp on the french fries.
Beavis: I won't skimp on the french fries.
Obi-Wan: And you'll give me all 32 of the collectible Star Wars toys at once.
Beavis: I...
Obi-Wan: Thank you, drive thru.
Beavis: Thank you, drive thru! Heh hmm heh, thank you drive thru!
Or, if you've ever had the Jedi Mind trick attempted on YOU at the drive-thru window, like this...
Watto: That'll be $13.27 sir.
Qui-Gon: These gift certificates will be fine.
Watto: No, they won't.
Qui-Gon: These gift certificates WILL be fine.
Watto: NO, they WON'T! Who do you think you are waving your hand around, Ronald McDonald? Get the Hell out of here!
...You might be a Trekkie.
If you ever tried to talk your way out of a speeding ticket by explaining to the officer that you're just an illusion created by the Matrix... (Luke Ski does Keanu voice) But officer, I had to keep driving faster than 50 miles an hour or my car would explode... You might be a most EXCELLENT Trekkie!
If any of your pets or children are named after Joss Whedon characters... Who made a mess on the carpet?! Kaylee Winnifred Summers! You better clean up after your dog right now! Bad dog! Numfar, do the dance of sadness! (Luke Ski dances like a dog doing the dance of sadness)... You might be a Trekkie.
If you ever set up a pup tent at 3 AM in front of Toys R Us... Those wave 13 Wookiees are mine!... You might be a Trekkie.
If you refer to your wife and mother-in-law as the Duras Sisters... You might be a Trekkie.
If going to your room involves descending below ground level... You might be a Trekkie.
If you ever got drunk at a party, put a lampshade on your head, and walked around going "Danger! Danger Will Robinson! Danger!"... You might be a Trekkie.
If you claim to be the eleventh incarnation of Doctor Who... You might be a Trekkie.
If the bingo caller yells "B-5" and you say, "Shoot! I forgot to set my TiVo!"... You might be a Trekkie.
If you ever had your girlfriend dress up as Xena, or your boyfriend dress up as Gabrielle... You might be a Trekkie.
And finally, if Leonard Nimoy has ever said a sentence that contained both your name and the phrase "restraining order", you just might be a Trekkie!
Thank you very much! Live long and perspire, y'all!

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
