I just bought a Star Trek uniform...I am now officially a super geek!

[Gothic Sponge]

I didn't buy it for a convention, or to run around yelling "Make it so!"

This was strictly a Halloween buy. :)

I got this one:

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

1. uh-oh, here come the big boys. better run away!

[billyskank]

2. I bet your living room looks like the bridge of the Enterprise

doesn't it? :P

[Gothic Sponge]

4. No way!

Deep Space Nine! ;)

[billyskank]

7. You're not a geek!

True geeks revere the original Star Trek, tolerate Next Generation, despise everything that came after that, and adore Babylon 5! :)

[Gothic Sponge]

14. TOS

Is still king with me, but the uniforms to buy suck. Believe me, I looked for B5 uniforms.:P

[IChing]

45. Star Trek flat: yours for $1m

One ambitious Star Trek aficionado is offering his one-bedroom flat in Hinckley, Leicestershire for a cool $1m.



This, however, is a pad with a difference - it's a complete Trekkie environment offering "LCARS, Ops units, voice activated lighting, back-lit panelling, various lighting effects, Transporter Pads and a full scale Transporter Control Console with built in sound effects".

Which is just about the minimum spec you'd expect for what is "Approximately £538,647.99" (a nice touch by the eBay currency convertor there). As one Reg wag put it: "That'd be in 23rd-century money then?" We reckon so:

The Star Trek apartment is the first and only one in the world.>>.snip

[Richard Steele]

56. "The Star Trek apartment is the first and only one in the world."

Star Trek BASEMENTS, however, may number in the tens of thousands...

[ikojo]

89. I think this apartment and its owner was on the documentary

Trekkies 2...

[redqueen]

3. I WANT ONE!

I want it tailored to fit, though, and no cheap stuff, either. I want a NICE one.

Sweet! Hope we get to see some pics. :)

[Gothic Sponge]

12. I really hope this isn't cheap

I hope it fits too. I wear size LT (large tall) However, they don't make them in LT. Only S,M,L,XL,XXL,XXXL. So, I got the XL. I'll take some photos.:P

[billyskank]

13. Something tells me

that's not going to be a skin-tight season 1 fit!

[redqueen]

25. See?

Those cheap costume makers! *shakes fist* I'm gettin mine tailored if I have to. :P

Can't wait to see the pics! :D

[hfojvt]

35. I think you would be even more of a geek

if you made your own. My mom or aunt could do it, but I am not sure how passable it would be. Ah, if I only could sew.

[redqueen]

72. I'd do it if I knew how to sew. I need to learn.

It's a busy month... too late for this year... maybe next! :D

[xmas74]

69. There are sites for custom orders.

A friend had one custom made a few years ago. It was several hundred dollars but she wears it to the cons and on Halloween.
She also used to wear it to work every time a shuttle went into space. She's a quirky one.

[redqueen]

73. Whoa

That's a lot of money, but I had it I can't say I wouldn't do it. :blush: :7

[xmas74]

74. She had hers done by a professional seamstress.

Very high quality material, flew in for fittings, the whole nine yards. She said that since she wore it often it was absolutely worth every penny.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

5. He's a geek. Let's kick his ass.

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

[Gothic Sponge]

17. *Hides under the special bus*

:scared:

[WCGreen]

6. As long as you say to your "girlfriends"

I am going to boldly go where no man has gone before....

[Gothic Sponge]

19. DOH!!!

[eyesroll]

8. You are a geek.

Whether you bought one or not -- you called it a "unform," not a "costume."

Ergo, you are a geek.

Signed,

Fellow geek who was busted via this gambit by someone she thought was an even bigger geek but at least he called it a "costume."

[billyskank]

9. No he's not. He busted himself in post 4.

:D

[Gothic Sponge]

16. LOL!

Curses! foiled again! :P

[Zuni]

10. NERDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kick his ass, Sea Bass!

[Crazy Guggenheim]

11. Yeah! Let's get him!

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

[Beer Snob-50]

15. Female Trekkies are easy!!!

all single men should buy one just to pick up these babes.

[Gothic Sponge]

20. My tricoder has not detected such women.

:silly:

[Beer Snob-50]

66. I dated one for a couple of years!

and all of her friends were also trekkies who seemed just as "loose" with their moral compasses.

[displacedtexan]

18. That will be soooo comfortable!

Great choice!

[ProfessorGAC]

21. Sorry, But It Doesn't Work For Me

I will never wear a Star Trek outfit unless i can be one of the Borg! That's it. I have to be a Borg. Now, that probably pegs the geek-o-meter, but i have decided no Trek clothing except for full Borgification.

The Professor

[Gothic Sponge]

23. That would be a bitch to wear.

Everyone would be afraid of assimilation. ;)

[shockra]

22. Super geek.

Super geek.

He's super geeky.

Yeow...

[Gothic Sponge]

24. The kind I don't take home to mother

:P

[Jara sang]

26. Did it come with a Com badge?

Just asking...:yoiks:

[Gothic Sponge]

27. Yes, but it doesn't beep

:(

[Lisa]

32. it is possible to get the kind that beeps ...

My co-worker, who would give you a run for the money in the "geek" department, has one. She asked her husband to get it for her as an anniversary present!

[edbermac]

28. Is that a phaser in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

[smbolisnch]

29. So you are going then??

Yay!! ;)

[flvegan]

62. You should update the "other thread" with this

newfound information. See if it changes any minds...

[AllegroRondo]

30. What color?

not red, I hope.

[Gothic Sponge]

31. The blue in the pic

[Cannikin]

33. I spent $250 on a phaser prop. I'm just as bad

and I DID go to the convention in Vegas

[Gothic Sponge]

36. $250? Damn!

Looks nice:)

[Dukkha]

57. I spent $300 on a lightsaber prop

The Darth Sidious Saber

[xmas74]

70. I bet that con was a great one!

I've always wanted to go to a good one but have never had the money.

[SarahB]

34. I have a Uhuru dress.

I have to work on Halloween though (i.e. scrubs). :(

[Gothic Sponge]

37. I'm sorry

You must look great as Uhuru. :)

[trogdor]

67. You gotta work out six hours a day.

Did you see Uhura in Mirror, Mirror? She was BUFF, I tell you. Sporting a six-pack, she was, and this was 1967.

[Tsiyu]

38. You won't be a true geek til you wear it to

the Waffle House or the Pancake Hut and eat something with maple syrup on it while wearing the Star Trek outfit.


Sorry

[Gothic Sponge]

39. LOL!

I can't do that! If I get maple syrup on my uniform my captain will throw me in the brig.

;)

[Tsiyu]

41. No, the next place you go, you tell them it's Vulcan blood

You killed Spock, remember?

[fudge stripe cookays]

40. reprehensor beat you to the punch...

This was him last year, WITH communicator and phaser.



Loves me some geek...
:loveya:
FSC

[Blue-Jay]

42. Baahahahahahaha!

:D

[Gothic Sponge]

47. Oh no! Red Shirts always bite the dust!

;)

[fudge stripe cookays]

52. See, I TOLD him that...

but he waited and waited to buy, so they were out...of gold...shirts....he couldn't....be Kirk......

:D

Hey GS! Where ya been?
:hi:
FSC

[Deja Q]

43. If it's not this type of uniform, it ain't real Star Trek:

:D :D

[Gothic Sponge]

48. I looked for this type

Too expensive!

[Blue_Tires]

58. my alltime fav

that's the REAL uniform!

[Deja Q]

44. BTW: Where did you buy it?

:D

[Gothic Sponge]

49. From here

http://www.starbase1.com/html/index.html

[Dukkha]

54. HEY! I Live right next to that store!

Starbase Columbus! I haven't been in there lately. I'll have to go back and see what they have.

No Star Trek costumes here. I have 3 Star Wars costumes. Stormtrooper, TIE Fighter Pilot, & Emperor Palpatine.

[neuvocat]

46. I had mine custom made.

300 bucks and I can't even fit in the damn thing anymore.

:(

BTW Hypnotoad, that's exactly the kind of costume I've got. Pretty stuffy to wear in Southern California, I'll tell you that.

[Gothic Sponge]

50. Damn!

I only paid $50, but I get the feeling this thing is gonna be really cheap.

[neuvocat]

51. You're better off going cheap, IMO.

If you get the thing messed up then you don't have to worry about taking care of it.

[ContraBass Black]

53. Doctor or scientist?

[Gothic Sponge]

59. Doctor

:)

[NMMNG]

55. GEEK! Geekedy geekedy geek geek geek!

Just kidding, I'm sure you'll look great in it--and I loved TNG.

[Gothic Sponge]

60. Ha! I take being called a geek as a compliment.

I let my freak flag fly. O8)

[NMMNG]

76. What can I say, I'm rather a Nerd myself

I enjoy holing up by myself with my computer, books, crafts and whatnot--and I'm not ashamed of it. Geeks and Nerds of the world unite!!! :thumbsup:

[Gothic Sponge]

81. Yeah, I'm a bit of a reclusive geek.

Sunlight is not my friend. ;)

[Heidi]

61. Good job, Ensign Crusher.

:rofl:

[Gothic Sponge]

64. Oh my! I'm going as the boy wonder that sits at the helm

:scared:

[xmas74]

71. HA!

I read his blog now and even he hates the crap they used to make him say.

[flvegan]

63. Nah, just tell folks it was for

one of the many porn movies you've made. They'll be, um, impressed.

"Ready, beautiful alien captors? I'm setting my 'phaser' to LOVE!"

Bow-chikka-bow-bow...

[Gothic Sponge]

85. LOL!

http://www.sexytrek.com/t1/revs=nyxxxx/index.html

[Robeson]

65. Wow. If only you looked like Deanna Troi in that outfit....

...but I've seen your picture, and, nothing personal, but you're no Deanna Troi!....

[Gothic Sponge]

84. That's only because I didn't have makeup on

:P

[xmas74]

68. You've joined the ranks of a few of my friends.

I don't own one and don't want to but it's kind of cool to see them get ready for cons. They are sweet and very intelligent people. They're crazy(aren't we all) but good at heart.
I'm proud to call them my friends.

[cassandra uprising]

75. Be proud

I know a guy who is fluent in Klingon. Now that's a guy with too much time on his hands, although I thought it was pretty funny when he would scare the crap out of people with turrets like bouts of Klingon.

[GreenPartyVoter]

77. I LURVE STTNG uniforms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *swooning*

[TimeChaser]

78. Well, I'm anot a Trekie, but

I do dress up and go to anime conventions.

I make my own costumes, too

[Sanity Claws]

79. Do you speak Klingon?

If you do, then yes, you are officially a geek. If not, you just like a funny costume for Halloween.

[Gothic Sponge]

82. I don't speak Klingon

However, I still think I'm a geek.:)

[greblc]

80. I'm sorry Halloween is no excuse...

you must have no friends or they would have stopped you.

[Gothic Sponge]

83. I have no friends

:cry:

Do you think I'll make any wearing this?

;)

[greblc]

92. Yes but they may drink all your Jolt Cola and eat your Cheesy Poofs!

[sakabatou]

86. Uniform I want

[DanCa]

87. If anyone knows where to get a 2xl colonial battlestar viper pilot suit

let me know.

[Gothic Sponge]

88. Believe me, I looked for one

Couldn't find anything.

[ikojo]

90. I have a Doctor Who scarf so what can I say?

I also have a Force FX Lightsaber (Darth Vader) and a smaller Obi Wan lightsaber.

Right now I am watching the first season of Inuyasha on DVD...in Japanese with subtitles

[NaturalHigh]

91. Star Trek Super Geeks are cool.

I should know. You should hear me debate the finer points of the Prime Directive.
