The resulting lights display is great, but the carbon footprint and the bad blood between neighbors is not.
My personal favorite is the Christmas decoration wars.
I still have my original Happy Fun Ball. I ignored their stupid recall, I don't care that it's almost completely melted through its original lead carrying case.
Bester would eat Mirror Chekov for breakfast.
A crossover cartoon movie is something Ira Steven Behr and J. Michael Straczynski could theoretically pull off.
It's a long shot, but I have faith of the heart!

Whatever they said, Warp 9.975 is NOT the maximum sustainable speed of an Intrepid-class starship. It's the maximum possible speed... for a few hour at best, before the warp core needs to be powered down to prevent everything from melting.
It's not a stretch to assume that the initial 75-year estimate was based on average sustainable speed and taking into account time needed to stop, refuel, maintain, repair, etc. Over that long a time, it wouldn't be enough to just pour more deuterium into it. Most of the warp engine would have to be rebuilt or replaced.
Also, the computer was struggling to figure out exactly where they were, so it might have been off by a few years at first. When Seven built astrometrics, they immediately updated their ETA.
Calling the stage units prototypes is being nice. The reality was that at that point the iPhone had barely gotten to a proof of concept stage. Months before this event, the developers were still using a giant desktop tower to simulate the phone's hardware.
That the photos of the phone were real and not concept art, that the stage units weren't just unusable rubber dummies was a magic trick itself.
When the developers revealed years later that the iPhone presentation (just the presentation, not even the actual launch) was a make or break moment for the company, they absolutely were not kidding.
And then they went from "should not even be working" test units to fully functional production units in six months!
Whatever your opinion of Jobs or Apple, credit where credit is due.
