"Torpedo has acquired!"

I just wanted to bump my own post up because it was the best post ever.

Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!

Every seen DS9 S4E7 "Starship Down?"

SISKO: Mister Worf?
WORF: Sir.
SISKO: What's the status of our weapons systems?
WORF: The cloak is not effective in this atmosphere, and the interference will jam our torpedo guidance systems.
SISKO: What about phasers?
WORF: We'll have to target them manually.
DAX: Benjamin, we have an idea.
KIRA: It's a little trick I learned during the occupation. Sometimes we'd evade the Cardassian ships by hiding in the Badlands. Sensor range was limited, so we learned to use an old active-scan system to navigate.
DAX: It works by echo-location. We send out a modulated tetryon pulse, and if it reflects off the hull of a ship we can approximate its location.
SISKO: But won't these pulses give away our position as well?
KIRA: We'd have to alter course and speed after every one.
(Sisko gives the nod.)

While the post was entertaining and detailed, I don't consider it "post if the year" material to be honest.
To me, that would be a post with an important political or social message, something that "matters", that inspires, that moves people.
Quoting an action movie scene, even if so entertaining, really doesn't cut it for me.

Hope tactikool doesn't get me wrong here...

Hmmm....so that's how it is, eh?

How about funny post of the year? That would fit, wouldn't it?
