For those of you not familiar with the Skippy List, check it out here:

link

Inspired by Skippy, some of us on RPGNet have been compiling a list of things Cadet Skippy can't do aboard the USS Enterprise (I've tried to edit out most of the really risque ones, for the children's sake, but some are still definitely PG-13):

1. Not allowed to use replicators to manufacture absinthe.

2. Not allowed to offer photon torpedo flume rides to new recruits.

3. I serve aboard the USS Enterprise, not "Jean-Luc's Party Boat".

4. "Shut up, Wesley" is not a proper response to an order from a superior officer.

5. Not allowed to hold orgies during diplomatic functions.

6. Even if the theme is "Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations."

7. "The Aristocrats" is not an example of classic Bajoran humor, and it is wrong to tell Data that it is.

8. The "Eject Warp Core" button is not a toy.

9. Neither is the "Saucer Separation" button.

10. No loud humming of Stevie Wonder songs in Geordi's presence.

11. A toupee is not an acceptable birthday gift for a commanding officer.

12. Not allowed to invite Counselor Troi to a "Traditional Betazoid Wedding" in Ten Forward.

13. Not allowed to tease Miles O'Brien about being the only Chief Warrant Officer in Starfleet.

14. Not allowed to dress up like a Borg and hide in the Jefferies Tube.

15. Cannot tell Guinan that "Billy Crystal made a better host".

16. Can no longer heckle Riker during Talent Night.

17. The Prime Directive is not "Rock and roll all night and party ev-er-y day."

18. Cannot use tribbles as currency.

19. I may no longer cite what I consider "blatant historical contradictions" between the official Archer and Kirk mission logs.

20. I may not use the ship self-destruct codes for free verse on open mike night.

21. I may not attach wet marshmallows to my forehead and stride onto the bridge demanding full diplomatic benefits as the representative of a new species.

22. I am not allowed to superglue replicated wasp nests to my skin the day before a medical examination.

23. Or any other type of hive or nest.

24. Starfleet has not been taken over by burrowing insect-like creatures and I may not tell new ensigns that it has been.

25. Even if that did actually happen a couple of months ago.

26. Starfleet does not measure the toughness of it's security personnel by seeing how long they can survive in a vacuum, and I may not tell visiting Klingons that this is the case.

27. I may not sell the Ferengi a secret recipe for replicating gold-pressed latinum.

28. Okay, it was alright during that one time when they had the only spare warp core for parsecs in any direction but never again.

29. Okay, never again unless ordered to do so by a commanding officer.

30. I may not ask Klingons what happened to their forehead ridges during Kirk's era. They do not talk about it.

31. Romulans are not Vulcans who didn't forget how to have fun.

32. I do not have a personal cloaking device, and the Captain was no spoiling my fun in pointing this out.

33. I may not clutch the wall and scream "Oh my god we're going to die!" every time I get in the Turbolift with a new ensign.

34. The transporter is very reliable and I will not deliberately beam up creatures incorrectly just to watch them explode.

35. Especially right before beaming now the representative of a primitive species we have on board for a diplomatic visit.

36. It's also not okay if their species is advanced.

37. I am not allowed to announce my presence in Ten Forward by shouting, "Set phasers on fun!"

38. I am not allowed to recalibrate my Tricorder to "Naked View Mode."

39. There is no such thing as "Naked Thursdays" on my homeworld.

40. I am not a Vulcan, and I do not have a rare condition that causes me to experience pon fahr every seven hours.

41. Cannot threaten to report the Captain to "Admiral Buck Rogers".

42. Cannot follow the Away Team to the transporter room playing "Taps".


43. Cannot tell the passengers on the Kobyashi Maru "Bleeped text you, we're taking this boat to Risa."


44. Cannot post the ship's prefix code and shield frequencies on my blog.

45. Cannot encourage people to "drink" Odo while he's in liquid form.

46. No using the Holodeck suites….EVER.

47. No telling Commander Sisko you can see your reflection in his head

48. No ANYTHING with Kira or Dax or any combinations of the two.

49. No trying to sell Quark q-tips as sex toys.

52. No silkscreening bulls-eyes on the back of red uniforms.

53. "Pig Latin" is not an acceptable output mode for the universal translator.

54. When it is his turn to do crew laundry, he will separate the colors. It is far to difficult to maintain the command structure when everyone's wearing flat grey-brown.

55. When crewmembers discuss the Voyager mission in his presence, he will refrain from humming the Gilligan's Island theme song.

56. It is inappropriate to refer to Captain Janeway as "Skipper", and even less so to refer to First Officer Chakota as "Little Buddy".

57. Strangely, the Borg chick seems to be okay with "Ginger".

58. The Prime Directive does not apply to my personal hygeine.

59. It is not within the jurisdiction of any cadet, or any member of Starfleet for that matter, to execute "Order Sixty-Six".

60. Don't apply super glue to the seats on the bridge. It prevents crewmen from fleeing their exploding consoles.

61. I may not, in times of crisis, shout my own made-up strings of technological babble at the crew.

62. James T. Kirk was the captain of the Enterprise a long time ago. He is not "the only real captain of the Enterprise", and what I think he may have done does not contravene what Jean-Luc Picard orders me to do.

63. Go-go boots and miniskirts are no longer regulation uniforms for female Starfleet officers. They are even more certainly not regulation for male Starfleet officers.

64. I may not degrade the position of ship's counselor by answering every order of "report" with "I feel paaaaaiiiinnnnn….".

65. The safety settings on the Holodeck are not "just for wimps". They malfunction often enough without deliberate tampering.

66. I am not a part of the Q Continuum.

67. I am not allowed to refer to the peacetime era Klingon Empire as "the Castrati Brigade", or to suggest that "real men disintegrate civilian transports".

68. When confronting an unknown, uncommunicative alien species, I may not claim to be possessed by their ruling elite, and demand a harem of earth females as part of peace negotiations.

69. I am to greet the Vulcan Ambassador with "Live long and prosper", not "We who are about to die salute you."

70. Cannot name shuttlecraft after porn stars.

71. There is no "Phantom of the Shuttle Bay".

72. In no known sentient culture is giving the finger considered a compliment.

73. Everyone in the men's room has already heard the one about "boldly going where no one has gone before."

74. Starfleet is aware that "to boldly go" is a split infinitive. This does not constitute a violation of the Prime Directive.

75. No more rumors about Troi's "special talents" being responsible for her outfit and relative position to the "dirty old man". We all know it was removed along with his heart.

76. No subspace messages to the Cardassians saying "neener neener"

77. There is no strip search policy for female cadets.

78. No referring to Commander Worf as "Captain Crankypants"

79. The Computer cannot process the query "Who did you sleep with to get this job, anyway?"

80. I can no longer make quote marks in the air when I talk about "Jean-Luc" or his "French" heritage.

81. I am not qualified to make random Holodeck inspections, especially not when Beverly and Troi are running their "private spa" program.

82. Not allowed to declare Red Alert whenever Troi's mother comes to visit.

83. The Starfleet medical corps does not, and never will, recognize the affliction "Sexlexia".

84. Neither the shuttles nor the shuttle bays are designed to handle "warp field donuts."

85. Stellar cartography is not a target practice room.

86. Facial hair is allowed as part of Starfleet regulation for men. It is not "proof that bizarro Riker has come to the ship".

87. Growing a goatee does not mean I am suddenly "mirror universe Cadet Skippy".

88. Even if I was mirror universe Skippy, I am not an admiral there, nor do mirror-universe ranks apply to normal Starfleet.

89. Even more specifically, they do not allow me to order female Starfleet officers to use the pain boxes on me because I've been a "naughty, naughty boy".

90. The anniversary of the commission of the Enterprise series is a time for reflection on brave explorers who made the galaxy a better place. It is not a time to put on prosthetic ears and play "grease the Vulcan".

91. Even if the first Enterprise crew did it.

92. I will not yell "dead man walkin'" at the sight of any Starfleet security personnel walking down the hallway.

93. There are in fact, four lights. Editing out one of the lights in the captured video footage of Picard's interrogation is just mean.

94. While Starfleet appreciates the initiative and technical skill it displays, Starfleet personnel will refrain from adding extra settings to their personal phasers, including but not limited to "tickle", "hot flashes" and "denude".

95. Likewise, the ship's tactical needs do not at this time require the installation of a "Death Blossom" function.

96. During incidents of first contact, I am requested to refer to Starfleet by its mission of the maintenance of peace and security throughout its area of influence, and not "A swinging gang of sharp pimps bringing hot ho's to every port from here to Hydra."

97. The ship is not currently suffering from a mysterious plague of madness, and I am to stop singing "I'll take you home again Kathleen" over the intercom.

98. Commander Data is a recognized sapient now. I will not reprogram him to be my butler.

99. Or his brother Lore.

105. Even if I'm under Captain Sulu.

106. Even if he's game for it.

107. Even if he really is acting as a pirate.

108. I will not say "WHAASSSUP" to Tuvok.

109. Just try it with Sisko and see how it goes.

110. It's wrong to play with Lieutenant Barclay's head.

111. Even if it's amazingly easy.

112. The main computer should not be reprogrammed to respond to users with "What are you doing, Dave?"

113. The transporters are not to be used to mix drinks.

114. Neither will they be used to remove women's clothing.

115. Reversing the polarity of the Captain's bidet is not funny.

116. I shall not hum the chant of the Winged Monkeys from The Wizard of Oz as I proceed to the transporter room for an away mission.

117. The replicators will not recognize an order for "Soylent Green, with extra blondes!"

118. Do not ask a Scottish crewman where "his little dress" is.

124. "Kick butt and take names" are two things I am not authorized to reply with when queried as to our intentions by an unknown race.

125. "The Neutral Zone" is *not* the area between the bottom edge of her bra and the top edge of her panties.

126. Reprogramming the replicators to think that "Tea, Earl Grey, hot" is an order for warm bacon grease is against Starfleet regulations.

127. I am not a Betazoid chaplain, and must stop offering to conduct weddings.

128. A bat'leth is not authorized for use as a cooking utensil.

129. There will be no "Wild Women of the Ba'ku Refugees" swimsuit calendar. Period.

135. Commander Data is not "undead".

136. Lt. Commander Worf is not to be scratched behind the ears under any circumstances.

150. A bullwhip and fedora hat are not authorized equipment for away missions.

151. Neither is the transporter an "express elevator to Hell, going down".

152. The Nazis did not hide the Ark of the Covenant on Tau Ceti IV, and I may no longer ask to beam down to look for it.

153. A phaser rifle is not to be referred to as a "boom-stick".

154. I did not feel a great disturbance in the Force.

171. Our mission has nothing to do with hunting down "Blake's ".

172. I may not set Data's emotion chip to "passive-aggressive".

173. No more Exocomp fights. Period.

174. I will stop reporting for duty with a plastic "H" glued to my forehead, nor may I back out of physical labor by claiming my "hard light drive" hasn't come in yet.

201. I will not tell the aliens that I have a substance that can destroy their entire race if they tick me off.

202. It doesn't change things if I claim Kirk did it.

239. Where is all this pirate stuff coming from?

240. You will not tell Marquis that they lost because they chose a French name

241. Starfleet believes every race is to be treated with dignity. As such, even a race with only Iron Age technology is not to be referred to as "You primitives".

242. This especially includes Vulcans.

243. The chances of a freak transporter accident sending me to a female Starfleet officer's bathroom during likely hours of bathing are approximately one in a billion. The chances of it happening three times in two days are nonexistent, and it better not happen again.

244. "A return to basics" as a ship policy is an attempt to instill greater efficiency and dedication in a Starfleet officer's work. It is not a call to shoot the men and make love to the women of every alien world encountered.

245. Many aliens have bumpy ridges on their foreheads. This does not make them "Klingon-lite".

246. Worf is not "Klingon-lite" either.

247. The anti-matter relays in the warp core provide a flux of material that powers the ship. They are not a convenient garbage disposal.

248. Trying to talk the Romulan ambassador into doing a "Romulan ale kegstand" is not appropriate diplomatic behavior.

249. Ships are not a democracy.

250. As such, it is not proper for Cadets to attempt to "vote off" the current captain in favor of a ruthless alien invader to the ship on the grounds that "the new guy isn't a pansy".

251. There is no Article in really fine print on the Federation Charter that allows me instant promotion to Starfleet Captain.

252. There's no treasure map on the back of the Charter either.

253. It is wrong to tell Cadets this.

254. Or Romulans.

255. It is wrong to ask the Captain if he got surgery to get out of the wheelchair.

256. Or if he has psychic powers.

257. ESPECIALLY asking him if he's leading a band of superpowered terrorists against Starfleet.

258. Even if it's true.

259. It's wrong to use the Dominion Mass Meld for a pool party.

260. The Obsidian Order is not a frat.

261. The Prophets of Bajor are not Jay and Silent Bob.

262. And Sisco is not to be referred to as Rufus.

263. Deep Space Nine is not "Our last, best hope."

264. Commander Data is not to be called "Your plastic pal who's fun to be with!"

266. Shuttlecraft drag racing is not okay.

267. I am not allowed to toilet-paper the Spacedock.

274. Starfleet does not owe me "three hundred trillion frequent flier miles".

275. I am not to program the turbolift to play "Dancing Queen" every time the Captain enters it.

276. A captain's starship is not "his way of compensating for something".

277. Don't taunt the Starfleet Marines. They don't have the sense of humor for it.

278. I am not allowed to dare the new cadets to paint Worf's chainmail sash neon pink.

279. The command crew enjoy their th century sailing-ship program on the Holodeck just the way it is. Under no circumstances am I allowed to add mermaids, giant squid, or scurvy to their program.

280. I am not the love-child of Ambassador Sarek and Princess Leia.

281. Post-combat operations are not known as "Miller Time".

282. It isn't funny to ask people rescued from Borg assimilation where their USB port is.

283. Nebulae are not referred to as "God's flatulence".

284. I am not allowed to "go commando" in a spacesuit.

285. Chief O'Brien's bagpipes do not justify an intruder alert.

286. The highest ready state onboard the Enterprise is Red Alert. It is not Mauve Alert, Fuchsia Alert, or Kiss Your Butt Goodbye.

289. Photon torpedoes are not phallic symbols.

290. I am not a mime, and am not to attempt to communicate with alien races using charades.

291. It is inappropriate to use the transporter to dump the ship's trash in the holds of a Ferengi ship.

292. Tractor beams are not for personal use. Also, we are not allowed to "play billiards" with satellites in orbit around any planet.

293. Medicinal or not, the hydroponics bay is not be used to grow *those* plants.

294. I am to respond to the Captain with "Yes, sir", not "Jawohl, mein Herr!"

295. "Funk" is not a recognized religion, and James Brown's birthday is not a recognized holiday.

296. My clothes were not suddenly sucked through a rift in the space-time continuum.

297. The Bajoran deities are not to be referred to as "cornhole aliens".

298. I may not sharpen my tricorder to repel borders.

299. Admiral Janeway would appreciate no longer being featured in my CGI version of "Kiss Me, Kate". This might have something to do with casting General Chang in the part of Petruchio.

300. I am not an Orion slave-boy, and I am no longer authorized to replicate green dye.

301. The main computer is not to be reprogrammed to end every sentence with "in accordance with the Prophecy".

302. No one wants to "say hello to my little friend".

303. The Jeffries tubes are for authorized maintenance personnel only. Also, Jello is not to be replicated in any quantities other than for personal consumption.

304. "Tricking Out" the shuttles is prohibited.

305. As is chroming the engine nacelles of the ship.

306. Engineering has determined that putting an R-Type sticker on the warp core does not increase output. It also leaves a sticky residue behind.

345. When traveling back to 19th century Earth on a historical observation mission, I am NOT allowed to start a Second American Civil War.

346. … Or a Second English Civil War, for that matter.

348. From now on, ambassadors are to be greeted by my silence, not "What's shakin', low fat bacon?"

349. I may not call Constable Odo "Jelly-man."

362. I will not lock the Klingon and Romulan ambassadors in a small room together "to see if they will fight".

363. I did not hear a Who on my dust speck, and even if I did, they would not qualify for Federation membership with myself as their spokesperson.

364. The Captain's dress uniform accouterments are not to be referred to as "bling".

365. Lunch breaks are a crewmember's right, but I cannot claim one every hour as the Enterprise passes through the time zones of the planet below.

366. New crewmember orientation will not include a reenactment of the time "the Captain, like, totally went Borg".

I sense that #164 was a South Park reference….? ;)

SheWolf23 Sep 2005 9:37 p.m. PST

These are so much better when in one post :) Thanks javelin!

Covert Walrus24 Sep 2005 2:41 a.m. PST

#174 is sad, as Arnold Judas Rimmer would be a perfect Starfleet member In my opinion.

Personal logo javelin98 Supporting Member of TMP24 Sep 2005 1:51 p.m. PST

Whoops — #171 should read: Our mission has nothing to do with hunting down "Blake's 7".

byram124 Sep 2005 2:42 p.m. PST

#182 is freaking hilarious

Sargonarhes24 Sep 2005 6:50 p.m. PST

Oh, but I want to experince a #243

Covert Walrus27 Sep 2005 10:41 p.m. PST

Sargonarhes, you and me both.

Personal logo javelin98 Supporting Member of TMP02 Oct 2008 8:29 a.m. PST

403. According to ship survelience footage, you have by this point repeated it 487 times, thus we are reasonablely certain that every member of the crew has, indeed, heard "the one about the Vulcan, the Rabbi and the Klingon midget."

407. You are not a cat burglar, so stop trying to steal Counsellor Troi's panties.

408. Or Commander Riker's for that matter.

409. You are no longer allowed access to the newsfeed connections. That last report about Riker getting command of his own ship caused confusion and fear over a 120 square AU area!

411. Or when off duty.

412. Offering Deltan pheromones as "aroma therapy" is also strictly forbidden.

415. Sonic showers are not to be set to vibrate in… *that* fashion.

416. Use of kidney regeneration pills to run a black market organlegging business will not be tolerated.

439. THAT is not an authorized salute!

441. In relation to rule #440, Cadet Skippy's airlock privledges have been fully revoked.

442. Also, he is not attempting to return a hostile xenomorph to the Weyland Yutani Corporation.

Last Hussar02 Oct 2008 5:28 p.m. PST

From a ST RPG I took part in some 20 years ago

When assigned to the USS Schrodinger, you may not have a ships cat called Box.

Or paint the ship black to 'goth it up a bit'

May not put a rubber sucker 'Garfield' in the observation dome.

Even to make up for not painting the ship black.

Even if you call HIM Box.

Yes Starfleet does recognise the inherant danger of putting the Bridge unerneath a glass dome at the most exposed part of the ship

If the ships doctor is insistent on giving crew Rorschat tests, he should have inkblots to hand, and not just hold an 'invisible' book up.

May not impersonate sonar sounds when cloaked.

It is not mandatory the Chief Engineer speaks witha bad Scottish accent.

When captain gives order 'Fire at Will' not allowed to look like demented kid in sweetshop.

Under. No. Circumstance. Do you. Have to. Speak. In. An oddly stilted. Way.

Or claim TJ Hooker is a starship captain.

The captain gives the order to fire.

Corsets are not mandatory for Starfleet Captains.

It is considered impolite to point out the way Admiral Kirks demotion to Captain is phrased means Spock technically has seniority.

May not use phrase – "You Klingon Son, you killed my Bastard"

Even if it makes more sense that way round.

Sargonarhes02 Oct 2008 6:46 p.m. PST

Wow, haven't seen this thread for a long time. Just heard this response recently.

When the Captain says fire at will, you may not ask who is Will and why is every one shooting at him all the time?

Personal logo javelin98 Supporting Member of TMP03 Oct 2008 1:52 p.m. PST

I think that would be Wil Wheaton, right?

chironex04 Oct 2008 1:46 a.m. PST

If called upon to take the helm, smeg knows why that would happen, all we really know is I'm NOT THE STIG.
