Aug 19 2008Get Your Own Star Trek Captain's Chair
Looking for a way to flaunt authority in your household? How about a replica command chair from the original Star Trek series? Available for shipping in 2009, the chair will sell for around $1,000 and include lights and buttons and shit. I'm totally getting one.
UPDATE, 2009: Captain's log: a floater, almost takes up the whole bowl. Somebody take a picture of this thing. What do all these buttons do again? Which one do I mash to shoot photon beams? BEEP BOOP. Haha, choke on that, Khan. Now, somebody get some damn space wenches in here. The ones with spikey ears. Oh, and one with a ridge head, you know -- looks like a mountain range. Quickly, like warp speed -- and install a levitating stripper pole. In the meantime: Beam me up, Scotty. I'm talking Jim Beam, damnit, no ice. Here, you can use the same glass. The captain gets what he wants! Well I'm in the chair, aren't I? Mutiny my ass, I'll kill you all. PEW PEW, bitches, PEW PEW!
Hit the jump to see a comparison shot of the replica and original.
Star Trek Command Chair makes anyone fell like Captain Kirk [dvice]

Even though I'm not that big of a trekkie, I still think this is pretty cool. Almost essential in one's planning for world domination. :)

I'd totally get it. Especially if the buttons made sounds.
Oh, and third!

That's hardly a replica, they don't look the same at all! Why bother going through all this trouble if you can't get it right?

I guess you can't sit in it if you have no ass

Weak. I'd rather a replica of any of the other captains' chairs. Except Janeway's, that is. Fuck that stodgy old closet dyke AND her chair.

Hey, my ass will still fit in it!... . Kirk-in!
Even if it has a few in-accurate buttons...if I can still swivel around and fire these young, unappreciative punk-asses off my bridge, it's well worth $1,000!
But...with the weight I've gained, I may need Scotty to beam me on and off the thing! aheheheheheheh. .. . . . .
oh wait...no head-rest? That sucks! How am I supposed to take my naps?
Kirk-out!

FUGLY!

Seeing it like that, it doesn't look very comfortable to me. I wonder if Starfleet was cool with customization... you know, add a footrest, maybe a drink holder.

My inner Geek is vibrating. Oops I'm in the Mirror Mirror Verse. I hate it when that happens.

Speaking for LOL.com I can personally say, this is by far the stupidest thing I have ever seen in my life. For one thing only losers and Fat dudes that live at home with there mothers actually watch this pathetic excuse of a show: and secondly, this looks like the most uncomfortable chair on the planet lol

For $1000 I'd build my own, with personal touches:
Drink holder with beverage chilling device.
Connect the switches and toggles on one side with my remote control.
Italian Calfskin upholstery.
Pop-up footrest.
Fold-away laptop tray.

I forgot to mention the heated massager and footbath.
