*Purpura twitches in agony at BRWombat ;)

You're supposed to be screaming in agony... The Poetry of the Vogon race is the Third worst in the whole galaxy according to "The HitchHiker's Guide To the Galaxy."

Ah yes, I am among good people here! As you can tell from my Sig I also bow at the altar of the great Douglas Adams. . .

but of course we all know that Vogons don't write the worst poetry ever written- the worst ever was written by Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings of Greenbridge, Essex. . . :D:

and yes we desperately need a geek emoticon. I wonder if there are any Spock ones out there. I know he wouldn't be smiling. . . LOL unless it was that time once every seven years. . .ah, Pon farr in the springtime. . .

Am I a Trek geek? I don't know about that, but I do have the Star Fleet symbol tattooed on my left arm.

I'll upload a picture later if you guys want to see it..

Ever hear the story behind "Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings"? It was a dig at a classmate of his at Cambridge, Paul Neil Milne Johnstone, who Adams thought wrote really awful poetry. The earliest radio script and recording even used his actual name and address!

Yes! In fact I was reading somewhere that for the television version they actually used that guys name ROFL poor guy!

ooooo! Jugglingfreak! A tattoo- cool! I always said that if I ever got one it would have to be the Bajoran symbol. the Trill one just isn't as cool even though they are also dear to my heart :)

Pirate. . .I guess that once would have to be pretty memorable to hold ya over all those years in between! LOL course since the Vulcan chick probably ended up having another kid after the fact- that was probably the soonest she wanted her husband to come near her again anyway LOL. That seems to be the way with many Human women! LOL

Syndrome- my husband and I met because of Star trek actually- but he did not disclose to me that he was a Boston Red Sox fan which is actually more of an organized religion than a fan group. Ever see the movie Fever Pitch? It is so close to my life it is almost not even funny.

He's already talking about spring training reports. . .here we go! at least they won last year LOL

Live long and. . .you know the rest.

Am I a Trekkie and a nerd? I don't know, but the fact I know about this website is very disturbing.

Please note, some of his work is NSFW.

No, I didn't just post a link to porn.


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

All of the above, plus SCA and a gamer, which makes me a bona fide, pure, 100% Geek!
