Can you imagine having to spend an hour every day putting on Klingon makeup? Being a Vulcan is easy.
Well, it’s been around for 10 years or so. Think it’s flying pretty good.
I got drunk on Romulan Ale (beer with die) 5 years ago.
Posted too soon, it closed September after about a decade-long run.
Wow. Now it looks less like a 1960’s era kitchen appliance and more like a late 1950’s era kitchen appliance.
Ooh. Dey really pimped it up.
