What is your geekiest possession?

Ooh! I just thought of something! I actually have a VHS tape of the Star Wars Holiday Special! I started watching it about 12 years ago and stopped about halfway through. The tape is still sitting where I stopped it! :lol:
(And yes, Weird Al's "White & Nerdy" does come to mind now!)

I don't know if this was a competion or not, but if it was! you win HANDS DOWN!:techman: I can't belive you have the UNholy grail of ALL star wars collectibles in your hands! How the hell did that happen?

Thanks, I think. :rolleyes: I really wish I knew how, but somehow my parents managed to get their hands on it and gave it to me as a present!

And then you'll know why I stopped halfway through!
 
FIRIN_MAH_PHASER.jpg


Set phasers to nerd.

It's a kit, painted by yours truly. I used chrome foil for the buttons and nose though, which was frustrating because I have the hand-eye coordination of Dr. Zoidberg.
 
I have both the TNG and VOY phaser replicas, and two swords from the set of Xena: Warrior Princess.

I think those rank pretty high in the Geek Scale. :D

I also have a Lego TOS communicator that I built when I was maybe eleven years old. It's not a work of art, but I made it all myself, and am proud of it. :)
 
I have an empty 7-UP can from the vending machine which stood beside the Bridge set of Star Trek: Voyager on the Paramount lot.
 
I think the geekiest thing I would have would be my Star Trek DVDs. I also have a Legolas action figure that someone gave me as a present - he no longer has his bow and arrows and I didn't keep the box he came in.

It is a good thing that rubber duckies aren't considered geeky as I have 79 of those.
 
A copy of The Physics of Star Trek. Or maybe the portrait of Carl Sagan I drew with Sharpie. Or the Captain Picard action figure with a speech bubble glued to his head that reads, "But I've seen everything," that my sister's boyfriend made for me when I was in the hospital. Oh, there's just so much to choose from!
 
I have a working replica of Vash The Stampede's revolver, A Starwars die-cast titaniums collection, and the millenium falcon
 
Ooh, I have The Biology of Star Trek - forgot about it until I read Strangequark's post. And a few other books as well. But perhaps my geekiest publication is the "How to Speak Klingon" tapes my mother got me. I actually don't want to learn to speak Klingon (not really because I'm not geeky enough but because I'm not all that interested in Klingons - plus I'm too lazy), but it's kind of fun to have.

Oh that reminds me.

I have three geeky Star Trek books

The Metaphysics of Star Trek by Richard Hanley
Star Trek in Myth and Legend by Thomas Richards
The Art of Star Trek by Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens

I used to have the Star Trek Nitpickers Guides but I am not sure what became of them. I suspect I lent them to my former neighbour and he didn't return hem before he moved.

Yes, it's an Intel Celeron 433MHz CPU. With the pins filed off. On a keychain.

Nice! -I think I might have a couple of 8088's in a box in the cellar somewhere -they wouldn't make that impressive key chains though...

JustKate said:
Oh, I think I may have the winner here: I have...a slide rule. Yep. Still in its original plastic carrying case and everything.
Click to expand...
Heh, I've got one of those -In it's original cardboard case!

You've probably guessed that I like calculators by now, here's an image I googled of another of the machines I have in the cellar:

I dare say I might have everyone beat. :D

I own:

- a liquor decanter in the form of a bust of Spock in TMP uniform
- two (empty) TNG Oreo boxes
- two (empty) TMP Happy Meal boxes
- a Cabbage Patch Vulcan (in uniform)
- a complete set of draft scripts and callsheets from the Voyager episode "Riddles"
- several Trek collector plates and mugs
- a set of Burger King Star Wars glasses
- a set of Burger King Empire Strikes Back glasses
- and the obligatory costumes: TOS (red), TNG (red, one-piece spandex from S1) and DS9 (gold)

For non-science fiction geekiness, I have several Queer As Folk items: two shirts that were worn by Peter Paige as Emmett, one Kinnetik t-shirt (the ad agency that Brian started), several storyboards for the "Rage" comic book that Justin and Michael created, and the mockup of the "Rage" movie poster with Tom Cruise's name listed as the star of the movie, all seen on the show.

Not to mention, I have a huge collection of autographed photos of actors from all kinds of SF shows, including William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and Patrick Stewart. (Edited to add: I also have an autographed photo of Robert Englund... in the role of Willie from "V". :D)
