White House petition demanding apology for "Jedi mindmeld" comment

[Gaith]

There is no common ground to be had. lightspeed /= warp, blasters /= phasers, missiles /= photon torpedoes, "*beep* *boop* she just lost her will to live" /= "I am modulating the shield nutation to compensate for the gravimetric anomaly"

... Tractor beams.

You LOSE! Good DAY, sir.

Fucking Warsies.

The truth of course is that the President knows what too many people don't:

While President Obama has given the Vulcan salute, and is known as a trekkie, I have never heard of him being a SW fan. It shows in his failed attempt to speak Warsie.

Is the binary language of moisture vaporators not good enough for you?

Don't cross the streams Mr. President. Don't cross the streams.

I love it when you guys go all 'ironic post-modern SF nerd' on me!

 

[cooleddie74]

Well, you know, it's a prerequisite for posting on the Trek BBS.

And there was an 'ironic post-modern SF geek' comment right there! We excel! (and other MS Office components).

Word!
