You know you're a TOS fan if...

You add up the number of TOS era novels you've got and suddenly realise you've got more than Terry Pratchett books.

(Surprised the hell out of me, and I've MET Terry Pratchett, several times)

 

if you always stand at least 10 feet away from anyone who is wearing a red shirt.

if you are still refusing to trade in your flip phone for a smart phone.

if you are jealous of a particular style of your wife's black boots. (or that might be a different issue)

if you believe antimatter intermix formulas can be programmed by toggling 4 switches.

 

Awesome. Yeah, aren't "retro" flip phones coming back into style or something?

 

I'm waiting for Apple to introduce a new iPhone that has a stun/kill app in it.

 

Nice. Got a link?

NO. KILL. I.

 

Nice! I have one of those as well, along with some . . . phaser twos.

 

You know you're a TOS fan if...you can name every single planet seen in the show, and those that are not, every spaceship, every third redshirt from the left (except Lt.Fred) and every time the Enterprise goes back in time or crosses the galactic barrier and not think it strange when everyone else does and calls you a mega-nerd!

Stop being a mega nerd Johnny

 

Sorry Delt I just can't help myself! It's so much better than real life!
JB

 

The crew of the Enterprise just voted to make you an honorary red shirt.
Be sure to watch out for exploding rocks, lightning bolts, flying Kligats and vampire clouds.

 

Or superior officers carrying phasers?
JB

 

If you die we all move up one step in rank.

 

I think you're in the wrong universe my Lord!!!
JB

 

That’s where the Captain’s Women are.

 

I'm beaming up to where you are!
JB

 

Bring a bottle of Saurian Brandy. We’re all out.

 

Would Romulan ale do instead?
JB

 

Just don’t let Scotty taste test it.
