May The Force Be With The Force

No nerd hate rhetoric please. We aren't fat people.

 

I'd only be hating myself. Rick, I'm one of the biggest sci-fi fans on the board. Star Wars was the first movie I saw in the theater and when Majel Barrett died, I was the one who reminded everbody that one of her characters' proper title was, Lwaxana Troi, Daughter of the Fifth House, Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, Heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed. (Once again, thank you Wikipedia. If I ever manage to quote that without looking it up, y'all will know I have completely lost it.)

We all have our lines where we start to wonder about people. Mine used to be ownership of a Klingon dictionary, but listing your religion as Jedi is right up there.

 

Obviously it's cheating if you've already mentioned it, but I think I could have done it without looking, but that's just a remnant from teenage years and not something I'm actively into now.

I keep drawing lines and then crossing them. Harry Potter, World of Warcraft, Firefly, those all used to be my "I won't be that guy" lines.

 

Star Trek is cool. Always has been. Always will be.

 

I will never own a Klingon dictionary or declare myself to be a Jedi, but otherwise there aren't many lines I wouldn't cross if I was interested.

My daughter recently informed us that she will be giving up interest in all things princess related when she turns six because at that point she will be "too old for that stuff." Makes me sad that she thinks she can ever be too old for something she enjoys. I'm going to have to teach her better.
