pen_gruntI came into work this morning to find the definite droppings of a geek on my desk. What are geek droppings, you ask?
Well, I found this:
and this:
AND this:
on my desk.
Indicating, surely, that a geek had been there in my absence.
Which reminded me of my path of self discovery last Thursday night. When I'm out drinking with co-workers, I do not get loud, I do not embarrass myself, I don't even get drunk. I do, however, start talking about Star Trek with my equally geeky co-worker, prompting him to loan me every bit of unseen-by-me Star Trek/William Shatner media that he possesses (which is a lot, since he actually HAS been to a few Trekkie conventions...in costume, no less).
*shrugs*
Hey, I can't argue the pure awesomeness and charm of William Shatner. The fact that he's from Canada just ups his cool factor by about 1000. Because, you know, it's Canada--so like the familiar Minnesota, yet so exotic with its metric system.

And such material to work from:
KHAN!!!
You don't quit pestering me, one of these mornings I'm gonna show up and start milking that cow. [holds up his hands like claws and giggles] (name the movie!)
and, of course,
She packed my bags last night, pre-flight.ZeroHour, 9am. And I'm gonna be...HIIIIIIGH as a kite, by then.

Yeah, I'd still do 'em. :)
Superb Performance
