Understanding Klingon?!

 

What’s wrong with that

 

Yes, I know. . . . sometimes I go to the store and go up to strangers speaking Klingon and forget that they probably won’t know it . . . but besides I might have had the chance to get a job in Multnomah Country . . .. or (the most likely one) get placed into the mental institution (LOL)

 

(just kidding)

How to tell if your neighbour is a Star Trek Fan...

 

10. His car has more Trekkie bumper stickers than paint.

9. Keeps trying to "mind-meld" with your parakeet.

8. Refuses to lend you his hedge trimmer on grounds that it would violate the Prime Directive.

7. Keeps trying to "beam" stray cats from his microwave to yours.

6. Keeps threatening to fire photon torpedoes at your house, even though he knows they can't penetrate your shields.

5. His garage door opens sideways and makes that cool "Vsoop" sound.

2. Continues to watch the show even though he has a girlfriend.

[VaBeachGuy 12]

LOL you might also add... "Understands more then 3 things on this list" because you have to be a Addicted to know some of the refrences lol.

 

For instance, I bet you Amy (Luvin1stdegree) could tell you all about The Omega Glory and Fisbin...

 

 

For those that don't know... Amy is a Closet Trekkie

[ensign_beedrill 0]

1. I say "make it so" occasionally...

5. I wish I could figure out the Stardate system.

11. Or walking into elevator doors expecting them to open automatically.

16. Funny. I think that'd be a great game to play if it had actual rules.

18. I did that.

 

I have one to add...

 

If you refer to objects using Trek references.

• Microwave=Replicator
   
  
• Elevator=Turbolift
   
  
• car sun-shields=shields
   
  
• cheese grater=VISOR
   
  
• and so on...
  

I do that sometimes... This is like Jeff Foxworthy's "You might be a redneck." If enough people add to this, we can have a StarTrekFans.net's "You might be a Trekkie" list. Heh.

[*]cheese grater=VISOR

But Geordie's visor was an ladies hair band. :o

When asked for your destination at a travel planner, you want to say 'Risa'

 

You find yourself starting to say 'Computer, lights!' to turn off your lights at night.

 

Wondering when the leaders in World politics will adapt the the Prime Diractive.

When you refer to the town you live in as the Alpha Quadrant and your friend's place the Delta Quadrant! And refer to the route to get there as a wormhole!

 

When you arrive home and think the shuttle has landed!
