Infamous Star Trek fans....

[OmahaStar]

The difference with Adams is the whole "Commander" thing. What sports fan goes to jury selection wearing a Wayne Gretzky jersey and says "I'd like to be addressed as the Great One?" What sports fan goes to jury selection wearing a jersey in the first place?

My guess is none. Hockey is a sport in exactly the same way bowling is. And there aren't any great ones in either.

Soccer or football, sure. Hockey? Please to not be making me to be laughing.

Football?

With all the legal troubles of Brett Favre, Ben Rothelisberger, and Michael Vick, somehow someone wearing their jersey to a trial is quite ironic.

None of them are hot, so I have no idea who they are.

Hockey is incredible. Go Predators.

I find it funny that a girl would do this to David Gerrold ... I mean, doesn't she know? lol

This was the early 70s - and I'm not sure even David necessarily knew.

Maybe that was the moment he realised?

Go Thunderbirds.

I saw several Seahawk jackets and Mariners sweatshirts in my jury pool..

Like it or not, there is a social code in our North American society at least that says, this a courthouse or this is a place of business and you will wear this.

You just have to accept that people usually don't wear formal wear to jury duty anymore, There were people in half shirt, sweat pants, biker leathers, mechanics in dirty coveralls and folk in saddles. I was wearing a nice knee length white dress and boots and kind of felt over dressed.

Thunderbirds are, indeed, go.

Saddles?

Must...not...ask T'Girl how she's doin'...MUST...NOT...

Oh, the hell with it.

How you doin'?

 

[T'Girl]

Saddles? SADDLES?

Well we are talking about Seattle here.

We're also talking about a fucking computer with voice transcription software that after near four months still can't understand my gentle Spanish accent.

^ Oh.

 

[Paradon]

You know what Buddha said, right? If she was meant to wear the uniform, then there is nothing you and I can do about it. Like in the other thread.... When you try to manipulate the situations and people so the events will turn out the way you want, most of the time it turns out disasterous.

So I've got a question about infamous fans that I've asked before but haven't gotten a definitive answer for.

I've heard several times that Brent Spiner went off the convention circuit because he had a bad experience with a "demented fan."

What exactly happened? Was he just fed up with people asking him the combination to his safe, or did someone try to remove his head so they could use his body to short out a live wire?

 

[T'Girl]

I heard it was a "rude" fan.

Oh crap...

I meant no offense. I thought you meant 'saddles' was some form of local slang used to describe sandals (like 'flip-flops').

 

[Herkimer Jitty]

I have to take a Brent Break.

BRB.

IDIC is sometimes embarrassing.

Deservedly so.

Richard also told of Heidi, the woman who infamously walked out naked at an early costume parade, wearing only a ribbon reading "I'm a gift for David Gerrold", who was the guest judge.
.

Damn, why does this kind of thing never happen to me?

You don't know what Heidi looked like.

This is true. But still, the principle holds...
