check the picture...that's one fancy bat'leth http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/18637190/detail.html#
You Klingon bastard, you broke the Slurpee machine. Klingon bastard! I like that he wore a mask to conceal his identity and then carried an easily identifiable and rare weapon. Kind of defeats the point.
Even better, both clerks knew it was a Bat'leth You know some poor cop was scratching his head when writing that report: "A Bat what...you saying he robbed dress like Batman?"
Well we can only hope the cops knew what he was talking about as well. Its not that easy of a weapon to describe to someone who didn't know what it already looked like. It isn't a sword anyway, its more like Boe with a sharp edge...... hum....
Because its charge was drained after using it on Shatner to prevent him from recording another album.
My good friend/old college roommate is a police officer in Co Springs (where the robberies took place), so he should know what it is. He's not really a Trek fan, but I think he absorbed enough through me over the years. I offered him the use of my old Klingon dictionary though, just in case they need to talk to the guy.
Bah. It's not a proper bat'leth without duranium alloy. And the hair of Kahless. Level 6 for 2 seconds gets the cheese just right, it's true.
See you could never pull this off if you're a Star Wars fan/robber. "Oooh, he's waving a glowing stick thing at us, I guess we better hand over the till...God what a DORK!" Now, what we really need is a nuBSG fan to build a animatronic Cylon Centurion and march it into a 7/11 for a beer run.
Officially? I don't think so. But yeah, there's a few people out there that make real ones. There used to be a guy on st.com a couple years or more back that popped them out of sheet-metal.
This story brings shame to the Klingon way. The fact that he was beaten by the cunning use of the word 'No' by the second clerk is too shaming! Truely a PahtK. I wish I still had my 'learn Klingon' cassette tape, I used to get fabulous looks practising in the car
