Planes, Traines & Starships
This past weekend i got to do the Annual IPMS Model Contest and Incel Whine Off, and, boy are my arms tired.

In my defense!

I don't take part in the contest, i just have an exhibit. But I'm there to represent my small business and basically talk for one hour doses about Star Trek and why i don't like Star Trek...

I like Star Trek, but every trek fan reminds me why i don't like Star Trek fans.

1. Despite what you may have heard... there is NO ACTUAL science in Star Trek. Seriously, if anyone takes out a motorola flip phone, they would laughed all the way back to 1997. If the show was so futuristic... then why didn't they predict the internet.

2. The original show from 1963 got cancelled because it was stupid. Travelling in space to run into space gods and Abraham Lincoln sitting a chair in space was pretty dumb. Also, anyone who can sit through Spock's Brain is VERY forgiving of a bad episode.

3. Captain James T. Kirk runs like a woman holding a purse. Nuff said!

So, the list goes on, but i use that whenever the vitriol on the
2009 reboot begins to spew. Otherwise, they can go on for days and ignore the fact that i have other people to talk to that are waiting on me.

I did get to sit with a really nice 50+ married woman that ditched her husband to hang out with me for while talk about her painting. She started painting her husband's N scale trains and landscapes, and have won awards all over Texas... but no one has ever talked to her about her craftsmanship. So, we sat together and talked shop and for ONCE a husband got impatient and had to pull his wife away from an exhibit at the IPMS model show. Typically, the room is run by the husbands running between exhibits and vendor tables like at recess, with their wives slowly brining up the rear holding boxes of models.... wondering where this came from after she only got a small box of chocolates for Valentine's Day.

This year, i ended up at the event center two hours past the end of the show talking to people.

Moral of the story:
Everyone loves a big millennium falcon.

Well, it's a little role reversal at that show when it comes to window browsing.
