You know you're a Trek fan when . . .

Okay, I clicked through and other than puzzling over all the Hussein middle names on the membership list (and being surprised at the amount of money they have apparently raised), I was tickled by their description:

"Star Trek fans everywhere know the key issues that we face in the next hundred years. We need someone who has the courage and judgement to prevent the Third World War, and to prevent the Earth/Romulan War."

I think that second one is expecting quite a lot of a candidate, personally...

But without those events taking place, there will never be a Trekverse...

Obama who? No, just kidding, just 7 days and I have to find another newshobby. I learned such a great deal just be reading about the election and I did that alot!

BORG

and think, "What, do they assimilate your trash?"

Assimilation, I think that's the new recycling!

... you drive under a bridge labeled "Alexander Reed Road" and think, 'If I needed a name for Malcolm's son in a story, that would be good.'

... you own one of these:

Saw this in CVS. If it'd been been VOY or ENT, maybe even DS9 I'd have been tempted, but it's not too hard for me to pass up TOS. However, I did whip out my phone to take a pic to share here.

... you're playing a word game and attempt to put in H-O-R-T-A. This one I did just this afternoon.
