Well at least there’s one thing Baseball fans and Star Trek fans can agree on:
Captain Sisko is the MAN.
Now let’s all gather round and watch “Take me out to the Holosuite,” shall we?
Hey I’m a Kirk fan so you better watch 'cause out I slap closed fisted!
That being said I’m also a hockey fan but I’ve never bought a Jersey… I did in my weak high school moment by a TOS Red Shirt… It comes in handy at halloween.
Awesome OP!
Live long and prosper, kingpengvin.
Kingpengvin, that is a work of art.
I must guiltily plead membership in both camps. Well, almost. Trek never did it for me. But Babylon 5…
Anyway…well done rant.
A well done rant. I confess that I enjoy watching football, but I don’t have any shirts or other apparrel.
Beautifully written kingpengvin.
I’ve developed an avid interest in almost all things Star Trek, I watch the Sci-Fi channel, I’ve read just about everything I can get my hands on since I was old enough to read, I’m a huge Tolkein fan, I think chemistry and biology are interesting, and I love college football.
My name is lilbtagna, and I am a Nerd.
BTW, even though I like Picard more, Kirk could kick his ass. Picard’s just too peaceful and all about talking things out.
kingpengvin, you understand, of course, that you’re demonstrating equivalence between sports freaks and trekkie geeks?
My mind boggles in the attempt to identify which group would be more embarassed by the realization of this fact.
Fucking great rant!!!
we tend to gravitate to that which we enjoy…Great post
Not only that, he played basketball for the Celtics, too! Sure, he called himself ‘McHale’, but you had to know it was him. I mean, he even left the bolts in his neck!
Excellent rant, just excellent.
Well, there is a slight difference, sports nerds shower a hell of a lot more often than Star Trek nerds.
I couldn’t agree more with the OP. By the way, did you know that Shaquile O’neal is a twelfth level halfling thief?
2nd Ed, or d20?
Live long and whitewash, kingpengvin.
Some people even call him the gangster of love.
…I’m not…
We do what now?
Also, gonzoron’s right… Sisko would win. Not even Kirk would have the balls to slug Q.
You know, the fact that Onion doesn’t archive one of their best articles ever anymore in their site is no reason not to include it in this conversation.
I hear it quite often…those not ‘in fen’ are degraded at cons and such. Let me note that I’m also a fanboy and gamer.
Q: You hit me! Picard never hit me!
S: I’m not Picard.
Another thing, I have never heard of Star Trek/Star WarsLord of the Rings fans rioting after a convention or movie.
And yet after Star Trek V and Phantom Menace they would have been very justified.
