are Star Trek freaks like freepers? that movie about them is on

[Gabi Hayes]

Showtime right now

they're featuring a woman who served on one of the Whitewater juries, and she's completely out of her mind, as are others who express admiration for her

she wears Trek paraphernalia whenever she leaves the house so people will know she's the captain of the Artemis

seriously

I know this is an old movie, but, man, these guys sure look like pugdrones to me

they didn't say how she voted, or what trial it was, btw

man oh manischevitz

[immoderate]

1. LOL! Every jury should have a Trekkie!

--IMM

[XanaDUer]

2. Wait for Spinefemme.

...

[Gabi Hayes]

4. thx...I should be taping this....some guy sent them a package

every day for ten years!

[Gabi Hayes]

8. jesus h .....spinerfemmes!

named after one of the later generals, or whatever

she looks normal, til she starts talking

sorta like Julie Hagerty

[XanaDUer]

10. No, I think she is naming it after brent spiner

she has this weird web site up about him for the longest time, too.

[Gabi Hayes]

12. right...they have him talking about them, but they do call themselves

Spinerfemmes....that's exactly what they said

[DerekG]

3. They're no more pathetic than die-hard sports fans, really

Bread and circuses.

On edit: (hey, wasn't that the title of a Trek episode?)

[Gabi Hayes]

5. of course

or religionist/superstitionist/creationists

any other sort who needs to get a life

obssessive political web posters?

[Gabi Hayes]

7. and the answer is.........

An Arkansas woman who wore a Star Trek uniform while serving as an alternate juror in the Whitewater trial was dismissed for talking to the press.


Barbara Adams, 31, one of six alternate jurors hearing charges against the former Whitewater partners of Bill and Hillary Clinton, wore a Star Trek uniform to each of eight court session in the Whitewater trial.

Neither the prosecutors nor defense attorneys had any problem with Adams' unusual sartorial habits until she granted a television interview Wednesday afternoon.

U.S. District Court Judge George Howard Jr., who had warned jurors not to talk with the media, dismissed Adams after learning of her interview with the television program "American Journal."

6. Doubtful. Star Trek is a world where the "FED"eration is in charge

of space, not for example "Pepsi" or "Monsanto" and the spaceships while equipped for are not built around combat.

[Gabi Hayes]

9. they do seem gentle, harmless, and a spinerfemme.....oops....wait

some guy doing drag right now......this is getting good

where's the weed?

[DS1]

16. If you find it

send me your address, I'll be right over :D

[Gabi Hayes]

18. too late....all gone

paranoia strikes deep

[DS1]

19. You lie

;-)

[Gabi Hayes]

21. do n,,....kaff kaff

NOT!!!!

[Blue-Jay]

11. Not so. The Defiant was built for combat.

I just gained 14 nerd-points.

[Deja Q]

13. Actually, it was a sister ship of the Enterprise, which had

explored a dimensionally unstable area of space and became trapped in the void, known as "innerspace"; the crew gone mad and killed each other.

(beats the snot out of your typical 43 minute million dollar nap produced by Rick Berman, that's for sure!)

[Gabi Hayes]

17. is that a Doctor Who in there?

Prisoners are escaping!

saw a double feature in college of Dr. Who and the Daleks/Night of the Living Dead, when they both premiered.....drive-in

we thought NOLD was going to be typical shlocklaugher, but it was unbelievable

ended up being roomates for awhile with David Emge, the "star" of Dawn of the Dead (first one)

he was friends with George Romero from Pittsburgh

[Gabi Hayes]

14. Make it SO!

I like SF, but have never cared for Star Trek, even when it began.

sometimes I watched that six of nine or whatever (quite the body transplant she had from the old days)

HAR! that's the one who married the Ryan maniac, from Ill!!!!!

Jeri Ryan

they should do Neuromancer, or Visible Light (?)

[Huckebein the Raven]

15. The sequel to Trekkies comes on next

it focuses on European Star Trek fans. I'm going to Tivo it.

[Gabi Hayes]

20. only two stars.....this one gets three

this is like a lower key visit to Graceland

I was there in 97 for the 20th anniversary of Jesus of the First Church of Elvis the Presleyterian's death

that makes this look like a community sing

you should have seen the Elvis tatoos. I have rolls of film of just Elvis and Elvis related tats....women were quite happy to have shots taken of those not normally seen...god, I hope I can find the negatives

[Huckebein the Raven]

26. I don't think I've been to Graceland

[Gabi Hayes]

28. hahaha very funny....I know where you LIVE

it's right there....Rt 50, or is it 51....Elvis Presley Blvd.

I've been there twice, and it's one of my favorite spots

22. holy lord,,,they're giving Klingon lessons, and I swear they're

saying something VERY like Jahk HOFF Jahk HOFF Jahk HOFF...over and over again, very fast

then, singing

then, somebody talks about doing a version of Hamlet (or was it Macbeth) in Klingon

When Burnham wood marches on Dunsinane...what galaxy is that? fill me in

[Gabi Hayes]

23. Damn.....have to blast off....need blank tape

this really is quite nice

I was wrong in my hypo of header...these are almost all very open, sweet people

Hari krishna, krishna krishna

no, if you've ever read Monkey on a Stick, you'll know that's way off

no freepers apparent here

apologies....well, maybe the captain of the Artemis...she was pretty bent up

[ikojo]

24. Trekkies 2 is on after this one and from what I've

heard it focuses on fans outside the US. Trekkies was criticized for its reliance on stereotypes.

I'm a Trek fan and when I was at my most hardcore I was a lot like those in this documentary. I didn't have any money because I was a kid but once I entered my 20s I discovered Dr Who and wanted EVERYTHING about Dr Who.

I don't think Trek fans differ in many ways from die hard baseball or football fans, especially fans of the Green Bay Packers.

[Gabi Hayes]

25. an old GF was hardcore, and I used to tease her relentlessly about it

I have no attention span, hence no longterm attachments to anything like Star Trek

[catbert836]

27. I know one who's both.

I hate him, he's so annoying. He dosn't try to cover up behind the "compassionate conservative" mantle, though, he openly admits he admires Hitler, is a fascist, and a Social Darwinist on top of that.

[Gabi Hayes]

29. well, on that cheery note, I must exit the airlock

live long and perspire....
