[OT] Optimus Prime joins the National Guard

[Ranger REG]

I think that was a really cool move on that guy's part. A lot of people don't understand that anything that fills a void in your life is a good thing,...

You mean like the time a Trek fan who wants to serve her jury duty wearing a starfleet uniform in court?

Exactly! Some people, intolerant of things that seem different, would make fun of someone like that. I say that if it's what you like and you want to share it with the world (and aren't breaking the law and/or hurting people) then more power to you! As Simon Hawke once said, "Intolerance is the true wasteland".

 

[Ranger REG]

As a Trek fan, even I have to say that's way too much.

BTW, that soldier better not get killed, because the last thing I have to do is console my nephew that Optimus Prime is dead. (And I say that with great seriousness in the first half of my statement; I pray for everyone's safety in that theater of war).

Why couldn't he just use "Barney the Purple Dinosaur"?

 

[Alzrius]

As a Trek fan also, I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

Yeah here in the office we've already come up with different headlines for Optimus, but due to it's nature I'd rather not post them.

Here's the one that is ok.

"Reuters: Witnesses reports of an Optimus Prime taking a bath in one of the oil wells. As of yet this has been unconfirmed nor denied by the pentagon."

Optimus

Now his hometown just has to rename itself Iaicon.

 

[D'karr]

I'm changing mine to Starscream or maybe Galvatron. No, I know... TROGDOR!!!!! The Burninator.

Maybe this will inspire me to finally change my name to what I have allways dreamed it should be:

Dick Straight

Now I can get my dream job!

Hey, even given names can be strange things. Take for example Richard Head, the most unfortunate kid I ever knew back in High School. Close second for my personal "Damn unlucky" award was a girl in my parent's church named Candy Kaine.

True stories; real names. I'd bet either of them would think of Optimus Prime as an improvement...

So what is the difference between a pop cluture toy and opera?

I have a friend named Valquiria, which is Portuguese for Valkiyre. Her dad was Brasilian and a big opera fan, he loved the Ring cycle opera (Ride of the Valkiyre and all that)
