The Search for Spock’s Present

> > Now more prescient than ever!

(I made this at Christmastime 2016, during the last month of Obama’s presidency—Trump would be inaugurated for his first term the next month.)

The Search for Spock’s Present

Captain Kirk doesn't know what to get Spock for Christmas, so he's time-traveling to ask for suggestions.

1. Starsky has lots of ideas, including an ant farm, like he got Hutch.  
Kirk is, like… uh?


2. Kirk, having politely declined a Budweiser ("I'm on duty"), waits patiently to talk to George Jones
He always loved George & Tammy Wynette's duet Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus, but he never heard about George's dreadful relationship history. (Some things get lost between now and the 23rd century.) 


The meeting will prove unproductive as Spock does not like firearms or Fireball.

3. President Obama goes through the list of Vulcan-appropriate gifts he compiled. 
Kirk becomes distracted when he remembers how this period in history is going to play out. 

[2021 Update (and again in 2025!): Geez. Was I ever prescient, or what?]

4.  Naw, he already has mine.
