You Know You're a Trekkie When...

[Kevin Thomas Riley]

:lol: You can order checks with Connor Trinneer's hotness on them? Oh man, show me the link. This I have to see. Or are they custom checks? (Does this mean KTR could order checks with a Jolene butt shot on them?)

Heh, that would be something.

But I haven't written a check in my life. For some reason the usage of checks never spread much over here. I've done manual money transfers to pay bills ever since I moved out of my parents at age 19. I've also had debit/credit cards since then and with the Internet things are even simpler. I have never needed checks, especially now.

Interesting cultural tidbit, that checks never caught on there. Checks are getting passe here, though. I did temp work at the local college bookstore for a few days, and I had to walk this one kid through filling out the check. It took him about five minutes, and I had to tell him what to do every step of the way.

You know, a guy robbing with a bat'leth (real or not) isn't going to do much for the Trekkie image...

It's not that smart, either. I mean, think about it: if you use such a unique weapon, it's going to be easier to trace back to you. Not that I object to stupid criminals, as they are easier to apprehend. I'm just making an observation.

You know you're a Trekkie when:

Your coworker prints out the "Man boldly robs Colo. store with Start Trek sword" story and eagerly gives it to you.

Good headline!

You know you're a Trekkie when you tell your granddaughter you will write a little story just for her and she looks straight at you and says "Okay, Grandma, but no Vulcans in it".

^LMAO!!

That's hilarious!

When your son gives you a secret passcode to access an account (I can tell you it because I already had to change it) and its the Borg designation for the horrible preying-mantis-type creatures in Voyager.

For years I chose 1701 as my pin #

[Linda]

I have had a Star Trek related number as a pin number in the past too!

[Asso]

Is there a T'Pol pin, by chance?

My Enterprise checks with Connor Trinneer's hotness on them came in the mail yesterday...

You know you're a trekkie when the piece of music the concert band is trying to sight-read starts getting all out of sync and the band conductor mentions that 'this music seems to be in a state of temporal flux'. At least he said something like that last night. I asked him after if we managed to disperse all those chroniton particles but I suspect there is a bit more work to do before we rid ourselves of all our temporal anomalies. I must ask him if we can do the medley of trek theme tunes again - International year of Astronomy and all that. One of the few people I know who likes trek as much as I do

[Linda]

You know you're a Trekkie when you say:

"A medley of Trek tunes? Can't get much cooler than that! "

... in class when "The A-Team" intro is shown (history through popular culture), you see Dwight Schultz and had never heard of him in regards to "The A-Team" but think, "Barclay!"

... for another class you're learning about existentialism and think, "I can see Malcolm being influence by this."

Hmm. This is sort of turning into 'You Know You're a Trekkie AND a Grad Student Without Much of a Life When..."
