You Know You're a Trekkie When...

[blakbyrd]

-you wish for your own Orian slave girl

Yep.

 

[STIntergalactic]

-when you try your damned hardest to name your first son William Riker (even if your wife doesn't end up letting you )

 

[Bishbot]

You answer your mobile (which flips open of course) with "Go ahead" rather than "hello"
-I've done this.

 

[Mistral]

I tend to answer it(after flipping it open-I wouldn't have any other style)

"Tim here."

 

[Triskelion]

I use a DS9 communicator chirp for incoming text messages (occasionally I'll use TNG), and various LCARS sounds for rings and alarms.

 

[Sagart]

When you fly into a rage when someone says "You're into Star Trek? Who's your favourite? Darth Vader?"

 

[salley]

OK, I'm starting to see I don't take this seriously enough. I thought I was devoted getting together with a friend to spend a weekend watching the dvd's and debating the finer points.

I've got some new ideas now - must sort the ringtones on my phone!!

 

[Trekwatcher]

You buy two of every Trek related item-one to open, and one just to keep pristine in the package!

Haha. I had the opposite response. I related far too well to many of these responses. I guess a lot of them are only funny because they at least resemble reality for many people!

...when you look in the mirror and realize your pupils have mutated into Starfleet chevron shapes.

and, in a related vein...

...when you look in the mirror and wonder why your reflection doesn't have a goatee (or has one, depending on your real world appearance.)

 

[Rabid Trekkie]

Too many of these apply to me, or would if I had more money.

You know you're a trekkie when you name your second car Defiant instead of Enterprise because you don't want the car jinxed by being the Enterprise A.

ok, this hits a little too close to TRUFAN for comfort. I'm just thinking of my "Captain's photographs" tie still in the plastic sleeve in my closet-and the other in my tie/dress sox/extra watches etc drawer.

 

[number6]

I am a Trekkist.

 

[Triskelion]

I am a Trekkist.

A moment of solemn silence, please.

 

[drasche]

I've made a LCARS interface for my mobile phone.

You know you're a Trekkie when you know what LCARS means.

 

[Pensive]

I tend to answer it(after flipping it open-I wouldn't have any other style)"Tim here."

I don't have a flip phone anymore, sadly. I think I'll still adopt these greetings tho

Just curious, what kind of mobile do you have? I have been searching for an LCARS interface for my BlackBerry.

You know you're a Trekkie when you know what LCARS means.

...and you're designing your own Okudagrams.

Read your signature line. Side hurts. Must...stop...laughing!

Heh. That's one of the gems the Klingon told us when we were in the ride lines @ The Experience in Vegas last week
