FoxTrot comic strip by Bill Amend - "Dork Factor 11" published May 31, 2009 - Paige Fox: I need the computer. Jason Fox: One sec. I need to register with this casting agency. Paige Fox: Huh? Jason Fox: With the "Star Trek" movie doing so well, I figure right now Hollywood is thinking "Star Trek prequels = gold." And if that's the case, they'll probably want the next one to be a prequel to this one, which'll put Captain Kirk somewhere around my age. Paige Fox: And you want to be him. Jason Fox: I'd be perfect! I already have the costume and have all his classic dialogue memorized! "Scotty, I need those engines fixed NOW!"..."Lieutenant Uhura, please open a channel to the ambassador"..."Hard to port, Mr. Sulu, warp factor 11"... Paige Fox: Don't you mean "dork factor 11"? Jason Fox: Mr. Spock, please fire your phaser at the alien. Paige Fox: Jason, knock it off. I've heard enough. Jason Fox: I wasn't talking to you just then.
