I was once faced with a dilemma. Should I accept Seven of Nine's offer of a night in her sleeping quarters, or should I take the last remaining bag of NikNaks on board and ... dammit ... I chose the NikNaks!

It really doesn't get any more serious that, serious cat.

Hmmm ... she didn't say a word about the NikNaks

To tell the truth, I'm not sure we have NikNaks here. I don't recall ever seeing them at my supermarket. ~scratches head~

Hmmmm, NOW I'm going to have to check to be sure. ~shakes head~

Edited To Add: OK, I just checked my supermarket's website, and they don't have it, but Amazon does. I didn't realize they're cheese puffs. I thought they were crackers, well crackers we folks "across the pond" call crackers.

Whoa, looks like he fell for it, captain, we've got him now!!!

OK, I just noticed, according to Wikipedia there are two types of NikNaks. The cheese puff type is South African, but the British type, which is written Nik Naks (2 words), is more like what I would call crackers.

As is the thread - completely crackers, but great fun!

@Miss B - No, they are not the same thing, they are nothing like British NikNaks. If the packets are not exactly the same as in the pics I posted, they're either a different product or a knock-off.

@Sunbeam - They're not crackers, NikNaks are nothing like crackers or even cheesy things

It was a joke. "crackers" as in 'daft".

Yes I know, I was referring to the crackers you were referring to in Miss B's post (which were actual crackers)

Hey now don't you worry your RAM chips over it, Data. It's just that human emotion called sarcasm I told you about. He just pissed he ain't got any NikNaks, dats all.

Hey, thanks Urban Dictionary!

Of course, when you have crap you can't get rid of, Jean-Luc Picard recommends

Though I think their marketing campaign was fronted by some bloke called Shatner ...

What the hell ... was just searching for something to reply with and found this!!!

• Would you say he's losing it, captain?
• I think so, I think so.

And YOU ... just trashed a perfectly good guitar!

Captains Log - Stardate 2020.NikNak:

We have arrived back at port after a most interesting mission. Little did we realise on leaving for our journey, the horrors we would face from the darker, NikNak-hating side of the galalxy. We discovered one man, supposedly a NiKNak hater, who would constantly probe us for further NikNak dabate whenever we had ended it.

Myself and the crew are now entirely convinced that what we have here, is nothing more than a state of mind, a case of 'Tough Love' as the saying goes. We do believe that while he himself believes that he hates NiKNaks, there remains an insatiable desire from within him, to consume them. We found him to be a most interesting specimen, beamed him aboard for some tests, and will return him to Earth during our next journey to that part of the galaxy.

End of Log - Captain Picard

Which roughly translates to, shut-up, I've got parts to find and a computer to build

God damn SON of a bitch, banging on my FUCKING door again in the middle of winter!!!!!!!!!

SAM!!!!!!!!! - Fancy finding you here. Anyone ever tell you the god damn hotel is closed for the winter? ... Huh?

Take a god damn look at this face, Sam. Does this face look like it gives a DAMN about your fucking crazy-ass talking cats and dogs? Does it look even the slightest bit intimidated by your fucking guitar-throwing man-tantrum yesterday, huh?

My grandma had more attitude. So how about this, how about you give-up the god damn ANTI-NikNak fascism and throw a couple of those mighty fine morsels down your throat like a real man would, huh? Cause I gotta tell ya, Sam, if you EVER knock on my FUCKING door again while I'm busy working on my machine, I'll show you moves with NikNaks you never new existed, you got me?

NikNaks, Sam, they're a 'man' thing, they're not for god damn pussies cats and dogs - so do you get me now - sweetheart?

Hey Sam, it's your old friend Johnny. Why don't you just go ahead and come on out here for a while, huh?

Oh come on, there's no point in pretending, I know you're in there, I hear you playing Justin Bieber again!

Hmmm ... NikNaks ... now that's a paradise I hadn't thought of ...

Retrowave hears the news that many people don't like NikNaks...

Then he tries in vain to look cool but cannot escape the Fried Eggs of Doom...

Yeah, looking at the colour of his eyes, I'd say your friend, The Fried Eggs of Doom, has eaten far too many NikNaks

Meanwhile, a doctor reveals the grim reality behind excessive NikNaks consumption...

Hey Sam, aren't you supposed to be under the supervision of Starfleet Medical? Only I have to ask cause I hear your new nurse just arrived, and hey, it's all part of the service mate.

You can thank me later (you'll never guess how)

Even though I'm not a Star Trek fan, I know they aren't regulation clothes. She needs to remove them immediately.

Sure, just buy a bag of NikNaks, they have a tendency to make bra-straps come loose

Why I oughtta...

The Three Wise Monkeys say you lost it.

Well okay, Sam, if you say so ...

It's like Christmas all over again...

I think it's time you were leaving...

• If you want to view paradise
• Simply look around and view it
• Anything you want to, do it
• Want to change your world?
• There's nothing to it ...

NikNaks, mate, NikNaks

Listen, wise-ass, cause guess what, bargain time just arrived. You'd better start tossing those NikNaks into that chicken-shit mouth of yours, or I'll toss this god damn fur-ball down the garbage chute, and I ain't even joking with ya!

Don't get your ambitions confused with your capabilities, sunshine.

Dog ... Chute ... I win ...
