    Last night at the xmas party, we were playing Trivial Pursuit and the question to win it all was name some Burt Lancaster movie where he made out with a girl on the beach.

    Here's how my nerd brain works. I here Burt Lancaster...hmm.I have never seen a Burt Lancaster movie...where next? Oh right! In DS9's "Far Beyond the Stars" the 'nog' character is telling Benny about "Burt Lancaster in From Here to Eternity, machine guns blazing!"

    I shouted out "From here to eternity"! and one the damned game and the $50.00 gift card!"

    All Hail Trekdom!

    My Trek knowledge won me free tix to see JJTrek.

    When the wife and I went to see it in the theaters they had a 10 question form that if you answered correctly you won free tix. I was the only one in the line out the door to answer all of them correctly and even pointed out an error. lol I was sooo embarrassed.
