Captain Sisko's Epiphanies

Nitcentral's Bulletin Brash Reflections: DS9: DS9 Kitchen Sink: *** Old Sinks ***: Captain Sisko's Epiphanies
By ScottN on Tuesday, October 03, 2000 - 12:17 pm:

Ok, people... We've got General Martok's Taco Recipes, 101 Ways to bash in Bashir's Head, and Weyouns Tapioca Recipes (or do we have that last one. If we don't, then... THAT is an epiphany)...

In honor of Avery Brooks' IBM commercials, here are Captain Sisko's Epiphanies.


By Miles O'Brien on Tuesday, October 03, 2000 - 2:13 pm:

When Bashir realizes that no matter what, his head will be bashed in... THAT is an epiphany.


By Spockania on Tuesday, October 03, 2000 - 2:23 pm:

When the Federation finally realises that Starfleet is the military... THAT is an epiphany.


By Rene on Tuesday, October 03, 2000 - 8:12 pm:

I think the Federation knows that...it's some Star Trek fans who don't.


By Josh G. on Tuesday, October 03, 2000 - 8:30 pm:

I'll give you Picard's words from, well, I can't remember which, but it was an early TNG episode.

"Starfleet is not a military organisation."

Ack! I can't remember when he said that!


By Lea Frost on Tuesday, October 03, 2000 - 9:23 pm:

When Lea can post again...THAT is an epiphany.


By Lea Frost on Tuesday, October 03, 2000 - 9:24 pm:

Hey, it worked! Hooray!

(I've been getting "Internal Server Error" messages for the last few days, whenever I tried to post.)


By ScottN on Tuesday, October 03, 2000 - 9:47 pm:

When you realize that there is not a "Weyoun's 1001 Uses for Tapioca" board... THAT is an epiphany!


By Spornan on Wednesday, October 04, 2000 - 2:00 am:

When you realize you have a warp drive, THAT is an epiphany.

Well...ok, that's a Janeway epiphany.

When you realize you look better bald, THAT is an epiphany.

When you realize how fun it is to say megabyte, gigabyte, and tetrabyte, THAT is an epiphany.


By Keith Alan Morgan (Kmorgan) on Wednesday, October 04, 2000 - 2:23 am:

When ScottN realizes that not every joke has enough material for its own board, that is an epiphany. ;-)

When a new mother, still under the affects of the painkiller, names her daughter, that is why she is called Epiphany.


By Spornan on Wednesday, October 04, 2000 - 2:51 am:

Heh. That last one is a good one KAM.


By KAM on Wednesday, October 04, 2000 - 4:49 am:

Thanks. ;-)


By ScottN on Wednesday, October 04, 2000 - 9:24 am:

When KAM realizes I was referring to my initial post... THAT is an epiphany!


By Rene on Wednesday, October 04, 2000 - 12:16 pm:

"I'll give you Picard's words from, well, I can't remember which, but it was an early
TNG episode.

"Starfleet is not a military organisation."

Ack! I can't remember when he said that!"

So? Just because a character says something, doesn't mean it makes sense. One character thought they would be dismantling Starfleet just because they were making peace with the Klingons in Trek VI...

It makes absolutely no sense to think Starfleet isn't military.


By Rene on Wednesday, October 04, 2000 - 12:18 pm:

And I'll give you Kirk's son's words from Star Trek II : "Scientists have always been pawns (sp?) of the military [i.e. Starfleet]".


By Spockania on Wednesday, October 04, 2000 - 1:14 pm:

When Rene and Josh G realise this isn't the "is starfleet military" discussion board... THAT is an epiphany.

(Sorry, no offense... but there is already a board to discuss that)


By Josh on Wednesday, October 04, 2000 - 2:42 pm:

When the Voyager writers realize that they need more stories that don't have to do with 7 of 9 or the Doctor THAT is an Epiphany


By Lea Frost on Wednesday, October 04, 2000 - 2:55 pm:

I think "Weyoun's 1001 Uses For Tapioca" could become very innuendo-laden, very fast. And I think it would also be mostly my fault... :-)

When the calendar says it's January 6...THAT is an Epiphany. ;-)


By ScottN on Wednesday, October 04, 2000 - 3:36 pm:

Yeah, on second thought, "Weyoun's 1001 Uses for Tapioca" isn't a good board idea, but I think this one was...

When you admit a mistake... THAT is an epiphany.


By Rene on Wednesday, October 04, 2000 - 8:47 pm:

"(Sorry, no offense... but there is already a board to discuss that)"

Someone made a •••••• comment, I corrected it. What is your problem?


By Matthew Patterson (Mpatterson) on Wednesday, October 04, 2000 - 9:47 pm:

Because you're being way off-topic when there's already an area where that would be on topic. And now you're being rude.


By KAM on Thursday, October 05, 2000 - 2:10 am:

Yeah, the whole Tapioca thing is pretty innuendo-laden already. Good thing most people don't know why. ;-)

When you discover the creature that produces rank pips, that is an Epiphany.

When you tell a bad joke, then realize you should run like hell, that is an epiphany.

(disappears in a cloud of smoke)


By Spornan on Thursday, October 05, 2000 - 2:51 am:

When you realize you are a horrible speller, that is an apifanee.


By Josh G. on Friday, October 06, 2000 - 9:57 am:

I think, Rene, you've misunderstood my post. I merely posted that Picard quote to DEMONSTRATE that he does not think Starfleet is a military organisation. That's ludicrous.


By Spockania on Friday, October 06, 2000 - 2:20 pm:

When a Q suddenly appears before a 'primitive' race, that is an epiphany.


By Josh M on Friday, October 06, 2000 - 3:01 pm:

When Data is promoted...THAT is an epiphany


By Spornan on Friday, October 06, 2000 - 3:30 pm:

No. That's a MIRACLE.

PROMOTE DATA!


By bye it's time to go on Friday, October 06, 2000 - 5:35 pm:

When you realize that a 3 letter word can be used as a four letter word, that is an epiphany.


By Benjamin Daniel Cohen (Bcohen) on Friday, October 06, 2000 - 8:46 pm:

When you realize that a 3 letter word can be used as a four letter word, that is an epiphany.


By Benjamin Daniel Cohen (Bcohen) on Friday, October 06, 2000 - 8:48 pm:

When you realize that you accidentally posted the same message twice, that is an epiphany.


By Anonymous on Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 7:05 am:

When you work out that sending yet another message only makes things worse, that is an epiphany.


By Callie Sullivan on Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 10:52 am:

When Rene realises that making nasty comments to people who are trying to be humorous isn't very nice, THAT is an epiphany.


By Jason on Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 2:09 pm:

When I can post to the Bizzaro Board, that is an epiphany.

Note, that is why I haven't continued the story there, I have been unable to post.


By NarkS on Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 9:01 pm:

When you realize you've wasted five minutes of your life reading epiphany jokes, THAT is an epiphany.


By KAM on Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 10:27 pm:

And how much did you waste thinking one up and posting it? ;-)


By Spornan on Sunday, October 08, 2000 - 9:53 am:

When you realize this topic has slowly degenerated into a series of semi-veiled flames, THAT is a shame.

Um--I mean an epiphany.


By Angry with this boring thread, but unable to tear my eyes away from it on Sunday, October 08, 2000 - 10:26 am:

When people realise that none of these jokes are funny (including this one) and stop sending their own in, that is an epiphany.


By Slinky Frog on Tuesday, October 10, 2000 - 9:15 pm:

When Harry Kim follows Data in the promotion category, That is an epiphany!

When Kai Winn actually gets humble, that is an epiphany!

When Farscape crosses over into the Trek universe, that will be an epiphany. Well, Slinky's epiphany anyways.

When Slinky has no idea really what epiphany means, but she types anyways, but will look it up in the dictionary, yes, that is an epiphany.


By Angry with this boring thread but unable to tear my eyes away from it on Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 8:49 am:

WTF did I just say????

Does no one listen to me?

That was not funny, love. I beg and demand that no one sends any more "jokes" to this site.

What is funny about it anyway? "When Data gets promoted, that is an epiphany."

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

That is craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap.

No more messages. PLEEEEEEEZE.

Thanks.

When "Angry with this boring thread but unable to tear my eyes away from it" realizes he doesn't have to click on this thread... THAT is an epiphany!


By Angry with this boring thread but unable to tear my eyes away from it on Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 10:50 am:

When you look up the phrase "unable to tear my eyes away from it" and understand the definition that . . . . . . will make me a very happy man.

NO MORE JOKES, WE KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE - Fascist Secret Police of the United States.


By Wes Collins (Wcollins) on Thursday, October 12, 2000 - 8:30 am:

When Angy with this boring thread but unable to tear my eyes away from it realizes that most of these are simple ironies of the Trek universe intended to either give you a moment's pause, or a moments giggle.... THAT is an epiphany.
A special bonus epihany:
When you wonder who thsi person might be....That is an epiphany.
And finally:
When you realize that you are wasting your study hall by posting messages on Nitcentral in the school library, and that if you get caught, your computer prin\vilages will be taken away from you...THat is one BIG epiphany.


By Wes Collins (Wcollins) on Thursday, October 12, 2000 - 8:32 am:

When you realize that you misused the word epiphany in your last post...That is an epiphany


By Josh M on Thursday, October 12, 2000 - 9:43 pm:

When the guy who can't take his eyes off this page even though he hates the material realizes that that doesn't make any sense, THAT is an epiphany.


By Tired Government Shrill on Friday, October 13, 2000 - 5:31 am:

When a government cog has to spend two hours every year in training to prevent sexual harrassment in the workplace, yet our commander-in-chief bops every intern, that's an epiphany.


By Spornan the dictionary on Friday, October 13, 2000 - 11:40 am:

When people realize they are not really using the word epiphany correctly, and that this is the nitpicker board and I am forced to point it out, THAT is an epiphany

A sudden manifestation of the essence or meaning of something, is also an epiphany.


By Wes Collins (Wcollins) on Friday, October 13, 2000 - 9:34 pm:

I hate to change the Subject, but where's my flying cars? I was promised flying cars! I don't see ANY flying cars! Where's My Flying Cars? I don't See any flying cars I was Promised flying cars. I don't see ANY flying cars! Where's My Flying Cars? I don't See any flying cars. I was Promised flying cars!


By Robot on Wednesday, December 06, 2000 - 4:56 pm:

When Sisko realizes he talks like a robot...That is an epiphany.

"I...Don't...know....why...I...speak...this way..."


By Avery Brooks on Wednesday, December 06, 2000 - 7:46 pm:

When....people.....stop......critisizing.....me......for......my.....Shatneresque.....acting........style.....that......is.....an......epiphany....


By One who has trod the boards & remembered his lines on Thursday, December 07, 2000 - 2:06 am:

When you realize that Shatner's acting style really is a stage acting technique, that is especially effective when performing Shakespeare... THAT... IS... AN EPIPHANY!


By Jayson on Saturday, December 23, 2000 - 9:42 am:

When they FINALLY pick a uniform design and stick with it...That is an EPIPHANY!!


By ScottN on Tuesday, October 16, 2001 - 12:55 pm:

When Wes Collins sees a flying car... That is an epiphany!


By Keith Alan Morgan (Kmorgan) on Friday, January 06, 2023 - 8:51 pm:

Epiphany is... a holiday in Canada.


By Tim McCree (Tim_m) on Saturday, January 07, 2023 - 5:53 am:

Boo! Get off the stage!
