Music... George Clinton and the P-Funk Allstars

So I used to be quite a concert junkie in my former life. I've seen tons of shows from small local bands to larger bands like Ozzy, Iron Maiden, Stevie Nicks, etc.
The cost of tickets and life and all have definitely toned this all down, however there's always been a few "must see" bands that I'd love to catch at least once.
These include bands like the Grateful Dead (I'd loved to have seen Jerry, but I can't win them all) and Cheap Trick.
Anyway, one person on this list is George Clinton. He actually came to town last year and for whatever reason, I missed the show. I was worried I'd missed my chance. However the fates intervened and he and the band were back in town last night for a free Ottawa Bluesfest show... and I loved every minute of it.

My Want List... Chatter Phone Ornament

So I have, amoung all my other collections, a large collection of Fisher Price Chatter phones - I have more that the Fisher Price Museum.

Anyway, looking over this year's Hallmark Ornaments, one caught my attention...

Star Trek... Fantasy Crew Draft

So with the hype of the new Star Trek movie winding down, and a co-worker and I running around the office shooting off our "movie accurate" phasers at each other - and everyone else (yes, I any a geek - loud and proud)... I started thinking about what the all-star crew would be.

So I put the question to you...
If you were Captain of the USS Esperanto and you had your pick of crew from any of the TV shows or movies, who would you pick?
