/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

MODERATORS
In the book BAD — Or, The Dumbing of America (1991), the literary scholar Paul Fussell said that the term Corinthian leather was chosen "because a reference book suggested that Corinthian connotes rich desirability" and so appeal to modern people who love luxury, as much as did the people of Ancient Corinth. That love of luxury of the Corinthians, Fussell noted, was “why Saint Paul selected them to receive one of his loudest moral blasts. He told them, ‘It is reported that there is fornication among you. . .’. ” Fussell concluded that whoever coined the term Corinthian leather would have to admit that the term itself "is just words" and that the leather in question "never saw Corinth at all."
Good old Paul Fussell -- great writer. A real man of Class.
I'm just sad that we hunted the Nauga to extinction just for their sweet naugahyde.
1896?
Nope ... it's correct ... last known million nauga migration occurred in 1984, just a couple of years before this image was taken.
(Had to do a little crude editing to recreate the original version of this strip.)
My chair is upholstered in real Naugahyde
When they killed that nauga, I sat down and cried

If you remember watching that commercial in between The Love Boat and Fantasy Island, your nostalgia is valid
I get this reference.
I didn't know what corinthian leather is, but i know where Corinth is.
It turns out it is just regular leather that a marketing company called corinthian, to make it sound better.
I can still smell the interior of my dad's Fifth Avenue.
