To all the Trekkies of this world, Are you trekkie enough for this? Options

[stargelman]

If you're reading this, you're either a trekkie, or you're a non-trekkie who hopes to get a really good laugh. I think the subject at hand has potential to please both groups.

Trekkies, if you wonder if you're geeky enough, there is now a chance to find out. Turns out Paramount has cleaned out the garage and is now selling off crap from 40 years of Star Trek! And before you think back to that last convention you went to where they sold all that cheap crap like horribly glorified drawings of aging actors, this crap they're gonna sell is good crap! Among the highlights are:

- that flute Picard played in that one episode where...uh.. you know
- a real Klingon captain's chair! (Q'Pla!)
- Phasers!
- and the ultimate dream of the real basement-dwelling trekkie: 7 of 9's season 7 jump suite!

The auction is done by Christies, and takes place stardate October 5th through 7th. In case you want to browse a few of the highlights, click here - Flash required.

Wow, their even selling the catalogues as collector items.

Guess my favorite has always been Mr. Spock and also Data. Just woo me to sleep with sheer logic baby!
But I really do like them .... guess I'm a mild sort of trekkie.

My sisters and I had a code name for our father of "Spock" for years without him knowing it. It was because he was an engineer and one of the most logical, non-emotional people I've ever known. I didn't even know boys had emotions until one of my boyfriends started crying once!
Anyway, we'd sit at the dinner table and in between my Dad's lectures about rolling steel or nuclear reactor cores ... we'd make overt comments about "What did Spock say?" ..."Oh, Lt. Ahura hadn't asked him yet." This being code for did my sister ask if we all could go late to the boardwalk that night, or whatever.

When we finally got Dad to relax enough to sit on the living room floor and eat pizza off the coffee table while watching Star Trek - we told him and he felt he'd arrived at being a true Trekkie. Just, he mostly sat and debated how Mr. Spock's logic wasn't really logical. hahahaha

If I could buy something from Star Trek, it would probably be Captain Picard's glass cup of Earl Grey tea that comes out of the replicator. Or maybe, his Star Trek pajamas ... guess I like him too, huh?
