You know you're a Star Trek nerd when...

[Dale Sams]

When you start equating your work heirarchy to the command structure of a starship. For example i'm a store manager which would be the equivalent of being a Captain. My area manager would be an Admiral and Casual staff are Ensigns through to Commanders based on how long they have been with the company for.

Do you ever worry that you'll show up to work to find your crew sporting evil goatees?

I can't do it anymore as I'm way out of practice, but back in my teens and 20's, I could identify any random TOS episode that I came across while flipping channels, after seeing about five seconds of footage.

I wish I had been able to count cards at the blackjack tables instead...

Also, I named my cat Khan.

Calling your cat must be AWESOME.

We actually call him Khan Queso a lot of the time. He answers.

When you log onto the BBS on your phone on the train home to tell everyone you have just seen Robbie McNeill and Diana Muldaur at a con even though it takes ten minutes to type it and they were fantastic!!!!!

When you have decided to train your future dog in Klingon.

Good idea.

 

[HaventGotALife]

When you get all the Star Trek jokes on "The Big Bang Theory."

^^ Sheldon Cooper is a superior being. My proof, He loves both Star Trek and Star Wars. Star Trek more.
I loved last week's bit with him hanging out with James Earl Jones and them ringing Carrie Fisher's doorbell and running away. And she comes out with a baseball bat.

Back to the driving motif,....When a idiotic driver cuts you off and you give the command..."Mr. Sulu, Lock phasers on target and await my command."

If you're in the passenger seat, you assume a Worf voice:

"Permission to fire, Sir?"​

When you think of Wheaton (Wil) whenever someone mentions Whedon (Joss).

Me - "What? Wheaton is a writer and director? Good for him, he came a long way from Wesley."

Friend - "What the hell are you talking about, Buffy?"

 

[Green Shirt]

Discussing events of a Trek episode during activity.

Not sexual activity, I hope.

^You never heard of The Vulcan Love Pinch?

No. Tell us, please.

When you look at the front page of TrekBBS and your name is the most recent post in 3/4 of the forums.

(and now one more!)

 

[Maxillius]

-When you've bought an early 90s GM minivan *specifically* because it resembled a TNG shuttlecraft.

-When you name your cars and think of ship-class equivalents.

I refuse to buy STID to complete my collection of all 12 movies.

What principle is that?

You know you're a Star Trek nerd when you argue a point about Star Trek trivia relentlessly without acknowledging the merits of counter arguments, simply because you don't want the discussion to end until you "win."

For me, that was a top 10 episode. James Earl Jones was hilarious! And the writing... the writing... everybody pulled off their parts brilliantly. If ever there was an episode to say "THIS is why I watch Big Bang Theory", this is surely one of them.
