I don't know enough people that would appreciate this joke/meme. #StarTrek #STTNG #Aha #80s #Music #Picard #Riker #Humor #TakeOnMe

Since this post is going "viral" (it SEEMS like it might be viral) I feel I should clarify:

I did not create the meme.

I do not know who created the meme.

I am not trying to steal anyone's creative work. If the identity of the person who created this meme is known, I would love to give them the credit they so rightly deserve. It made me laugh and I shared it here because as noted in my OP, the number of people I know who appreciate 80s music and Star Trek is depressingly small.

Bah-bah-bah-bah, baah-baaah bah-ba-babababaaaah

But for those who hate this meme, don't worry:

It'll be gone… in a day or two

@ahimsa_pdx @dbsalk You might want to add like 20 more 'o's at the end there
@dbsalk thank you for sharing. It really brought back a handful of memories.
@dbsalk I don't know what ... else to say, but I'll say it anyway
@dbsalk that one is __brilliant___ I laughed way too much.

@dbsalk

I had to use Google the first time I saw it....

@PhD9 It's a pretty niche reference.
@dbsalk @PhD9 I'm sure some folks will use Google and be Hunting High and Low.
@dbsalk LOL I get it!! 🀣
@dbsalk I can hear this meme. diddi di did di diddi di did di
@dbsalk took a moment, but I got it.
@dbsalk truly this makes my day

@dbsalk

Ok, that’s one of the best I’ve ever seen of these ST:TNG meme thingies. πŸ‘

@dbsalk 🀣 love it! 🀣

@dbsalk

That.
Was.
Sublime.

This isn't an official award, just something to recognize the awesomeness of that toot.

@signalthirteen I'm honored and humbled, and pretty sure I'm also undeserving of such a fine award. Thank you for the consideration.
@dbsalk I get it, because I am ancient.
@sennoma We're old! 🀣
@dbsalk @sennoma
You are old - I still think TNG is new and a bit....
@dbsalk I am definitely one of those people
@saptaks I wish I knew more people like you. πŸ€”
@amiserabilist Riker Googling never fails to make me chuckle. πŸ˜‰
@dbsalk TNG AND a-ha? You had me at, well, either…
@dbsalk Now you know one more πŸ˜‰
@dbsalk I reply you with this "for the modern generations" :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt_w4--wTJ8

@dbsalk There is an A-Ha moment in a Family Guy Episode where Chris is in a grocery store and he screams "What is happening to me!"

So bonus points for many cross cultural and generational references!

@rhempel That's fantastic. I have never watched Family Guy, but I feel like it's a show I would very much enjoy. πŸ˜€
@dbsalk Don't get your hopes up - there are some really great episodes and some really tasteless ones. I guess a sign of a healthy mind is being able to hold on to two conflicting ideas at once :-)
@rhempel Good to know! My TV schedule is kind of full anyway. I probably wouldn't get to it for another decade. πŸ™„

@dbsalk

This made me want to set the intro monologue to the tune of "Take On Me". I had to modify it a bit to make it all fit...

Fiiinal frontier
