Hehehe... no, 'slashfic' is a definite subgenre in the fanfiction world. Um, some of the pairings are really, really alarming. When stories that romantically link Spock and Captain Kirk start to appear normal (next to other pairings), you've been online waaaay too long.

Yikes!--compared to that the average Trekkie sounds normal! I think the real Spock would agree that such a pairing would be extremely illogical. Please reference the episode "This Side of Paradise" which definitively establishes that Spock had a girlfriend :)

I just don't know what's going on with today's generation. There I was, working away in my cubicle, with my Palm Pilot, wireless headset, laser pen pointer, and Zip-Linq USB cables all ready to spring into action. And this 20-something kid, who also works the help desk, comes by, and says, "you have too many gadgets".

How could anybody with an attitude like that ever aspire to geekdom? Gadgets? These are my working tools I use every day to outrun kids like him.

He should be barred from even getting a learner's permit, much less a real geek license. I think he's on the fast track towards pointy-haired boss.
