Such is the beauty of a free nation. You are entitled to that opinion, and I once wore a uniform to defend that very right. However, I will observe that it wasn’t Kirk that let a bunch of freakin Ferengi capture the Enterprise, and thusly do I claim the moral highground for the duration of the debate.
Thank you. I’ll be here for the forseeable future. Try those waitresses and tip the veal…or something like that.
Aren’t we all truly several flavors of nerd? Is even being ubercool not a flavor of nerdness at base levels?
The fact that you ask the question proves that you’re one of us…
Thou art God, Brother or Sister as the case may be.
Yes, but can he play Dixieland jazz?
Is it just me, or does everyone else imagine a shimmering Romulan warship (or a person shimmering in the same fashion) whenever someone delurks?
Oh, would you stop with the random Yankee Bashing already. You treat us Yankee Fans like we’re all Right Wing Republicans or Orcs or something.
Meanwhile back to the Op:
Welcome to the Board, enjoy the stay and you won me over with
So do you root for a baseball team?
How about NFL?
Now the big one…Do you like the Lord of the Rings?
Jim {Hi, Loune and Hi, Excalibre}
In the Straight Dope squid baits you!
Welcome to the boards.
In baseball, I’ve rooted for the Braves since they could reliably be expected to be at least 20 games out of first by the end of April.
In the NFL, my team is the Saints. (Sports bets are generally not profitable for me)
As for liking LOTR, doesn’t everyone? It does have flaws, however. In reality, we all know a raid level Norrathian Druid, such as myself, could have quadkited the Dark Riders, solo’d the Baalrog for the phat lewt, and safely delivered to Ringbearer all before extended KEI wore off. Clearly Gandaalf was wise enough to request assistance from the Interversal Druid Alliance. I blame the errors in the account in the books on faulty reporting by the Bard’s Guild.
Why yes I can. On the radio, and on other types of stereophonic equipment. Why I would do that instead of playing classic rock, folk, and other hippie music is unclear, but I certainly could.
I’d say all of the above is true.
Right Wing Republicans (the kinds that looooooove them some Ann Coulter)
+Orcs
+or something (feel free to add in Very Icky Things, like putting your foot in your coziest slipper only to realize it’s packed full of snot)
Yankees Fans
Yeah, that’s about right.
Right-wing Republican orcs. I can just see them, in their natty pin-striped suits and briefcases, just fresh off the battlefield, weary from a long day of bashing and day trading.
And Picard never stooped to any silly toupee. 
I like orcs. It’s great fun to round up hordes of them in newbie zones, brace myself against a wall to avoid being interupted, and blast them to oblivion with a point blank area of effect spell. Elf chicks dig orcslayers.
And Kirk schtupped many more space gals than Picard and Riker combined. ;j
Which is the real reason he kept McCoy around.
“Um, Doc? I’ve got this sore on my…”
“Again?”
Picard didn’t do that either – Riker was in command at the time.
There exists some fanfic out there wherein Riker got court-martialed (and hopefully busted down to civilian) for losing his ship without even the slightest pretense of repelling boarders.

Sorry about that. I was unavoidably detained. The dog was eating the bicycle seat.
Welcome, Oakminster.
We have a welcoming banquet in Room One, if the calamari hasn’t gotten to it. I’ll go and check.

Uh-oh
I do appreciate the welcome, just can’t bring myself to eat bait. I’ll be in the bar and/or smoking area…
You do realize that eating bait ain’t exactly the issue here, right?
In the Straight Dope, bait eats…
Nah, I just can’t do it.
