I despise those inspirational posters that adorn the office walls of middle managers across the nation.  You know the ones–they feature a generic scenic photo with some faux-Zen caption extolling the virtues of teamwork or vision.  But I can totally get behind these Star Trek-themed riffs on the concept.  You gotta love the one featuring James Kirk and his deliciously smarmy smile.  He looks like he’s relishing a recent sexual conquest.  “Yeoman Rand?  Yeah, I tapped that.  Isn’t that right, Lieutenant Uhuru?  After all, you were there, too.  Heh.”

  1. Okay, I’m not so sure about the Star Trek posters (you are such a complete and utter geek), but I agree with you on those motivational posters. I personally prefer the approach they take at http://www.despair.com. My personal fave: “Procrastination: Hard work pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now.”
