I’m torn between believing these people really need to “get a life” and believing it’s not a bad way to get one’s mind off all the crap going on in today’s world.
Well a good few of them are currently unemployed, so this would seem an appropriate use of the extra free time.
The picture Patrick used for the story reminds me of a friend’s favorite episode- where Kirk is turned into his alter ego and he’s running around the ship guzzling brandy and groping all the women. His favorite line is “GIMME THE BRANDY!” It comes in at about 1:40 on this clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkf5okMaIYk
“Personally,” said his wife, Barbara, “I think my husband is a nerd.”
Well yeah aren’t we all? Cyclist, motorhead, computer geek, you name it, a guy obsession exists primarily to be depreciated.
I would like to know the argument that got those chairs into the those living rooms. Maybe then I could hang the bikes in the house. Bikes are accepted as transportation, recreation, why not also as viewable 3D art?
I just want a phaser. I would never set it on stun. It would make training rides so much more rewarding.
The idea that a bicycle would not be considered 3D art is completely alien to me. To anyone who questions if a bicycle could be art, I would invite them to my house to look at the Colnago displayed prominently in my living room. It’s art that also happens to be a bicycle. Of course, it’s a steel Colnago.
As for the trekkies and their captain’s chair, I gotta echo BruceM here. I don’t know whether to be appalled by them or jealous. Wait, I’ve decided. I’m jealous.
Oh man, do NOT give me a phaser for the club ride. I would be way too tempted to use it on those (many) occasions when I want to catch the group ahead of me in a hurry.
Jeff,
I think I’d prefer a tractor beam to a phaser. Just have to be careful what I latch on to.
I would love to have a working phaser. Most people I would just stun, but there are a few rectums that walk like a man that I would have no problem using the disintegrate setting on, especially the ones that think it’s cute or that they’re “teaching me a lesson” to buzz me.
I wouldn’t mind having one of those chairs, either.
Phasers are good, tractor beams better, but I myself would like a transporter. If I had one of those bad boys, say, in my office closet, I’d beam over to Santa Fe for a combo platter at La Choza, a couple IPAs at Second Street and a nice, long soak at Ten Thousand Waves. It’s been a long month.
I’d do the transporter to a quiet beach at the end of the road past Hana. And have a bike stashed there for the ride back to Kahalui Airport on the Hana Highway.
. . . there’s no intelligent life down here. Scotty? Scotty. …
