The really funny thing about this post is that I thought they were funny. Many of you know that I watch Star Trek before I go to bed. Sometimes, I watch 2 episodes in one night. Right now, I'm finishing up season 4 of Star Trek TNG.
It's safe to say that, at this point, that I am a "TREKKER". This term is not to be confused with a "TREKKIE". There is a significant difference. Allow me to clarify with a few examples:
Note: These jokes below span the Original and TNG series. (If you don't find the first few funny, give up. They don't get any better.)

It's safe to say that, at this point, that I am a "TREKKER". This term is not to be confused with a "TREKKIE". There is a significant difference. Allow me to clarify with a few examples:
- A Trekker loves watching the show, nitpicking and discussing it with friends.
- A Trekkie loves watching those documentaries filmed aboard the Enterprise.
- A Trekker thinks that it is a shame that, after this new movie, the show is coming to an end.
- A Trekkie thinks that it is a shame that the crew is being reassigned and the Enterprise is being decommissioned.
- A Trekker has a Starfleet Academy window sticker on his car.
- A Trekkie is cramming for the entrance exams.

Thanks for the disambiguation between Trekker and Trekkie. I now appreciate the difference. However, I only understood two or three of the jokes, making me neither.
