I Grok Spock…oh and Model Trains

Ok, so this guy adds cameras to his train set. Big deal. But the responses from my replies were hilarious. I felt like Shatner on SNL at one point. “I mean, how old are you people? What have you done with yourselves? You, you must be almost 30… have you ever kissed a girl? ” I know I hit a nerve when the train buffs all throw back references to Farscape and TiVo. The Dr. Phil reference made me spit onto my monitor. Somehow I really picture some kid or god forbid an adult, sitting at a computer, wearing conductor overalls, writing a reply.
Jesus, I’m so glad I’m not that much of a geek.

  1. I should also add, that when my loverly wife, Niki, read this entry her first thoughts were, “Get a life”. She asked me about it.
    N: So this guy puts cameras on his train, then watches the tapes to make him think he’s watching a real train?
    M: Yep
    N: So he also puts a tape recorder beside the train to record the sounds to make him think he’s watching a real train?
    M: Yes { hangs head in shame for the guy }
    N: Does he have a girlfriend…or a wife?
    M: I know he has roommates.
    N: Gee, I mean, Get a Life.
