Bizarre

My mother called me three times at work today (somehow, she kept calling when I was out of the office; the third time, my boss was just about to hang up when I walked in the door). I was, naturally, concerned that something was horribly wrong. It didn't help that she kept beating around the bush before actually coming out with the question:

She needed to know the name of an episode of the original Star Trek.

I tell you, there's nothing quite like putting your geekiness on display at work (especially when people know it's your mother on the other end of the line). I might as well just come in wearing a propellor beanie. Of course, then I'd be tempted to talk like Homestar Runner. AWWIIIIIIGHT!
