Under the category of the so bizarre I don’t know what to make of it, I give you a video featuring Brent Spiner cosplaying as Spock. Take a moment to process that sentence.
The actor who played Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation donned the Vulcan ears for his sort of autobiographical web series Fresh Hell. He puts on the Spock costume for a kid’s birthday party, but he has ulterior motives. He wants to get close to casting director. Whatever the reason, I like seeing Data in the blue uniform performing the Vulcan nerve pinch.
Watch the video after the break. Trust me, you just have to.

Santa hats are obviously improved by the addition of pointy ears. Kids have the Star Wars option with the festive red and green Yoda hat, and adults get the more logical blue Star Trek hat featuring Spock’s ears. If you’re going to wear a holiday hat, you may as well just take it here and get some laughs.

Etsy seller Becca Stundel sent us word about her magnificently nerdy knitted Vulcan hat. She describes it thusly:
“You know what would rock? A SPOCK TOUQUE! Like, it would be black, and cut right across your forehead (like his bangs) and his skintone ears would be the part that covers YOUR ears!â€
And from that simple request was born “Live Long and Keep Warm”– a hat to transform you (or a friend!) into a perfectly logical being. One size fits most adults, the hat is fairly stretchy and designed to hug the head like a wig.
If you would like to get your hands on one of these hats, it will set you back $30 on the FiveCornersDesign Etsy store.
