I'll take 4.

I managed to convince two of my English teachers in high school to let me write major essays about Star Trek. But it wasn't as fun as I'd hoped. I had to ridiculously exaggerate my comparison of TOS and DS9 to fulfill the requirements of the assignment, for example.

Aparantly she hails from a world with no sun...or maybe she just watched all 700 episodes in one looong marathon, with the blinds closed and food delivered...

The hell... its more odd than my speech for my Academic Decathlon final where I re-created ST: FC's Borg battle scene as a one man show.

OTOH, if she's just wear a black rubber skirt (or even those ultra-short TOS skirts) I'd probably date her.
Chalky white skin can be hot.

This is old. I know it showed up in here last August when it was still fresh news.

Plus, boys, I get the vibe that she wouldn't be into a polyamorous lifestyle -- even if you did relocate to Australia. [Razz]

This sort of thing is not as uncommon as this news organ -- or the crowd here -- might like to imply. My high school here in Washington and a friend's college on the other coast both have sci-fi literature classes; in one of my college English courses, I wrote a descriptive essay using model construction and photography as the topic (entitled Sailing the Galaxy in a Three-Foot Ship); the Evergreen State College here in Washington has a Star Trek course tree; and let's not forget the Klingon language started as Marc Okrand's doctoral project in Linguistics.

In my first semester at Fordham University, I wrote a piece on my then-disapproval of Star Trek Remastered. I think it got like a B-.

Well I'm already in Australia!! [Wink]

This wasn't just a paper or a course people - it was a Doctor of Philosophy... big-arsed thesis. Wow 700 hours of Trek, pale skin babe! She'd better have a good (AV) set-up! [Smile]

Posted by Peregrinus (Member # 504) on :

She's married, Andrew. And has a daughter. [Razz]

Dude, don't kill our dreams. As long as she's cute, and a sci-fi geek...

I wonder if she likes video games?

Posted by Peregrinus (Member # 504) on :

I'm killing your dreams in this regard because it's stupid. I know quite a few cute sci-fi geek firls who AREN'T married. Focus your attention there. Sheesh. Or are you guys all talk -- no action? :-P

Oh, I am. Completely & utterly. But you know the reasons for that.

Posted by Peregrinus (Member # 504) on :

Yeah, but I wasn't talking to you. [Wink]
