Random Quote
A major function of fundamentalist religion is to bolster deeply insecure and fearful people. This is done by justifying a way of life with all of its defining prejudices. It thereby provides an appropriate and legitimate outlet for one's anger. The authority of an inerrant Bible that can be readily quoted to buttress this point of view becomes an essential ingredient to such a life. When that Bible is challenged, or relativized, the resulting anger proves the point categorically.
Bishop John Shelby Spong, Rescuing the Bible From Fundamentalism, (San Fransisco: Harper Collins, 1991), p. 5.

That was totally AWESOME!!!!
OK, phew! flashback's over, mostly, sorry.
A perfect blend of two completely different (or maybe not so) genres.

But have we done "Classic Trek sings Knights of the Round Table" yet?

That some trekkers have WAY too much free time on their hands...?

Oh, come on. I doubt it took much more time and effort to do this than to, say, play a round of golf every weekend for three months. They don't necessarily have any more free time than anyone else, they just expend it . . . differently. For which I am duly grateful.

That poor Wil Wheaton continues to get no respect?

Really, you need to check out Star Trek + Nine Inch Nails + Closer on YouTube.

Never thought about it before, but the technobabble in Trek really reminds me of RHPS--
DR SCOTT: This sonic transducer - it is, I suppose,some kind of audio-vibratory, physiomolecular transport device....
BRAD: You mean...
DR. SCOTT: Yes Brad. It's something we ourselves have been working on. But it seems our friend here has found a way of perfecting it. A device which is capable of breaking down solid matter and then projecting it through space, and - who knows - perhaps even time itself!
JANET: You mean he's gonna send us to another planet?
FRANK-N-FURTER: Planet. Schmanet. Janet!
Come to think of it, I'd pay a lot to see Picard in a bustier and fishnets.

actually, having started programming back in basic in 60's, i really consider myself more of a geek than nerd...
anyway, i didn't make it...i just found it.

Fantastic find, Skippy!

I saw this stuffed octopus and immediately thought of you ( http://www.squishable.com/pc/squish_octopus_15/Big_Animals/Big+Squishable+Octopus ). Likewise, when I see stuffed yous I immediately think of octopi.

Very cool...and I like that it included no "Enterprise" clips. 'Cause I never watched that series. Also, could've used more Spock.

This is every gay trekkies wet dream.
I know that Star trek (original series) is pretty much a gay icon, but when did Rocky Horror become one?
Posted by: The Uppity Atheist | August 13, 2007 8:25 PM
Thanks, skippy!
You made me laugh, no small thing after the day I just had.
You rock!

And THANK YOU, Davis, for totally ruining that NIN song, not to mention helping besmirch Mr. Spock's character.
I am now going to delete it from my library, since I will never again be able to listen to it without remembering that video.

Right about the time Richard O'Brian said, "I know, a campy musical about a Transvestite!"

Goodness gracious sakes alive and a half PLUS!! I haven't heard that song in a coon-age.
At the late nite. . .double feature. . .picture show. . :)

And I thought it was weird at Balzac's Coffee Shop to hear Johnny Cash covering a Nine Inch Nails song.

I'm not sure what's more nerdy, that someone put that video together, or that I enjoyed it! ;)
