One of Those


I couldn’t help bouncing as we got snacks for Star Trek: Into Darkness.  Yeah, yeah, fan bias abounds.  I get it.  But it’s science fiction, and it’s well-crafted and it’s action/adventure, and it’s set in the Trek universe (or near enough) that I’m a willing and excited consumer.

The snack bar girl looked at me funny after I did the bounce, and I explained, “We’re seeing Star Trek.”

“Oh!” she said, and I thought I had a kindred spirit until she followed with, “You’re one of those . . . Trekkies . . . or whatever they’re called.”

Or, ya know, I’m a customer being over-charged for popcorn and sugar water.

  1. That "Kahn" in the picture has man boobs. I also have man boobs, but I know better than to pose as "Kahn."
