50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

yet another way to know if you’re a trekkie

Posted on 2 April, 2008 By Wil

Are_you_a_trekkie
Have you been feeling unfulfilled? Like your life is missing something? Have you been feeling . . . not so fresh?

You could be a Trekkie, and not even know it. Savage Chickens has a simple test to help you determine if you are a Trekkie in just three simple steps, so you can embrace your inner geek, and start living again.

(Thanks Jess!)

    Does 2 out of 3 make me a Trekkie? I don’t a Bat’Leth, but I do want one.

    Well, I got two out of three anyway. =^..^=

    I made this last week, and posted with the caption “The Dennis Miller Quotient strikes again.”

    Guilty on all counts.

    I wanted to own one, but I can never find one when I’m LOOKING.
    *sigh*

    I’m almost positive from my Klingon-speaking days that Qa’pla also has an apostrophe.
    I always hoped for the inevitable Vulcan dictionary and hoped even more that we’d adopt it as earth’s universal language because it was so… logical. 😉

    Geeky squared! I even went so far as to make two different sized pendant versions of the bat’leth…silver with brass wrapping for the handle, when I first started making jewelry. You know, until I realized I could never sell them for infringement issues.

    I know I’m a trekkie because I have a starfleet delta tattooed on my arm, big bold, neoclassic style and awesome. Luckily my husband totally groks it.

    Hmmm If you have to take a quiz to determine if you are a Trekkie, are you really a Trekkie?

    Savage Chickens + Beer = my favorite one.
    Brought to you by the National Brewers Association, natch.

    I actually have a Bat’leth in my purchase queue at Amazon…

    If the answer to #2 is “No, because my mom doesn’t allow weapons in her basement.”, can I still be a Trekkie?

  13. Wil says:
    2 April, 2008 at 12:28 pm

    Only if you insist that you are a Trekker, Brian.

  14. Miss Ali says:
    2 April, 2008 at 12:56 pm

    Hey Brian, you beat me to it. …No seriously my parents won’t allow weapons in the house. They didn’t even like my lightsaber replica. Must you be so CRUEL mom and dad????? It’s just a replica!

    Ah man, i only got one out of three. how can i go on living now??

    Love it. I immediately added Savage Chickens to my daily feeds. Thanks!
    @Brian: Trekkies must defeat their parents in mortal combat for the honor of the household! (Only to shout “I won’t kill him!” at the end, of course.)

  17. Wil says:
    2 April, 2008 at 1:57 pm

    Yeah, every 7 years, Trekkies have to have a fight to the death with someone.
    It’s the law, and I’m overdue.
    *tough look*

    Aw… now I feel left out…

    Here is my son, a Trekkie in training!

  20. Pockafwye says:
    2 April, 2008 at 3:22 pm

    Two…
    Two correct answers, ah ha ha ha!

    Don’t need the Trekkie Test. I have on my shelf TOS, TAS, TNG, DS9, VGR, ENT, and all 10 movies. I go to Cons which at least have Trek involved. The only things I don’t do are dress up and speak Klingon.
    And I don’t care if it’s Trekkie or Trekker. Ask me, it’s TrekFan.
    Does it also count that I own all three of your books? Heh.

  22. beelkay says:
    2 April, 2008 at 4:02 pm

    Aw, I only answered “Yes” to #1. Does that mean I’m a Trekker?

  23. Celtic Mama says:
    2 April, 2008 at 4:37 pm

    I got 1 and 3. I was more into Wesley, Riker, and Troi, but I knew enough Klingon to get by. As long as Wil doesn’t choose me for the sacrifical Trekkie, I’m cool with that. On the other hand, if he just says “I won’t kill you” at the end, I volunteer! 😉

    Outed! 3 out of 3. And I have pictures to prove ownership. My husband used to cast them.

    1. Yes
    2. No
    3. Yes
    Bonus Points: I personally had my hair fondled by Chancellor Martok, while I was sitting in a bar talking to Mark Okrand about linguistics…

  26. NiceBloke says:
    3 April, 2008 at 3:09 am

    Screw the Trek.
    I’m now a Chicken Fan! (Chicker or Chickie?)
    There goes my days productivity whilst I read the archives……

  27. ALRO says:
    3 April, 2008 at 7:24 am

    Guilty, Guilty, and uh… Guilty!

  28. Jonathan (the other one) says:
    3 April, 2008 at 1:12 pm

    I have to say that being willing to admit you were sitting in a bar discussing linguistics with Marc Okrand pretty much absolves you from ever having to prove your Trekkieness again.

    Patrick Stewart had some really nice things to say about Trekkies when a Newsweek reporter called us “weird:”

    2 out of 3 myself, but my sister is guilty on all three counts. It’s solid steel, her boyfriend-now-husband made it for her when they were dating. And he probably scores worse than me 🙂

    I can’t believe it. I’ve seen every episode of Next Generation AT LEAST 3 times (even that retarded pilot where everyone cries and whimpers the whole time,) and I’m not actually a Trekkie.
    My life is somehow less than it was…
