Mr. Heidi, the ultimate Trekkie, said . . .

[Heidi]

Yesterday, I sold two huge paintings. After I closed the deal, Ultimate Trekkie Mr. Heidi turned to me, gave me a giant hug, and whispered in my ear, "Well done, Ensign Crusher!"

:spray: Um . . . sometimes I just don't know what to say.

[MrScorpio]

1. Live long and prosper, Sugah Butt

And may the force be with you

[Heidi]

3. .

I've gotta admit, it's one of the funniest things Mr. Heidi's ever said to me . . . and he's said many things that have left me either in thrashing-about laughter or absolutely speechless.

Live long and prosper, Mr. S. :hug:

[WCGreen]

2. That's cool in a creepy kind of way......

[Heidi]

5. I've always maintained

that if Mr. Heidi and I had taken a honeymoon, his choice would have been a Star Trek convention. :eyes: Or a Kylie Minogue concert.

[WCGreen]

14. And you still married him.....

Mrs. WCGreen actually buys me action figures....

I have them around my office...

I still collect comic books....

Shhh Don't tell anyone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. CONGRATULATIONS to my dear Heidi!

That is very good news...

However, I don't remember Ensign Crusher...too many years have passed..

:yourock: :hug:

[Heidi]

7. I think Ensign Wesley Crusher

was from the Voyager series. Mr. Heidi _loathes_ him, and considers him a kiss-up figment of Gene Rodenberry's ego. :shrug: It was a goofy thing to say, but it cracked me up, totally.

Thanks for your nice words, Peggy. :loveya:

[petronius]

11. Not Voyager - TNG

and that was definitely an insult...

[Heidi]

12. Too funny!

The Wesley Crusher thing is something we laugh about, Mr. Heidi and me.

Thanks for the correction. I'm no Trekkie at all, though I was raised by Trekkie parents (original series) and married a Trekkie. You might say I'm surrounded. :hi:

[moof]

19. When surrounded resort to the corbonite manuver

[NMMNG]

6. Number One, Make it so

[Heidi]

8. I'm not a Trekkie at all . . .

but I've heard enough about Wesley Crusher from other Trekkies (including Mr. Heidi) to "get" it. :rofl:

[NMMNG]

9. I only watched the original series and ST The Next Generation

I couldn't get into the other ones at all.

[Heidi]

10. I always fall asleep during ST series and films.

And I get the series names and characters all mixed up. But Mr. Heidi knew this about me from the get-go; I think he expresses his disappointment by giving me pet names like "Ensign Crusher."

[Wapsie B]

13. Congrats on your deal!

:thumbsup:

[Heidi]

15. Thank you!

Yes, I'm a little bit walkin' on sunshine this morning. (There's your earworm for the day: "Walkin' on Sunshine." )

[Wapsie B]

16. Yeah but I've still got to sleep tonight.

Something that jazzy will have to wait for later in the day. ;-)

[Heidi]

17. In that case, I give you . . .

"Edelweiss"

Edelweiss, edelweiss
Ev'ry morning you greet me
Small and white
Clean and bright
You look happy to meet me

Blossom of snow
May you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever

Small and white
Clean and bright
You look happy to meet me

Blossom of snow
May you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever

[Wapsie B]

18. Much better thank you.

Now if it can only drown out Santa Catalina. :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. This is probably my favorite song from The Sound of Music...

Thank you Heidi, for posting these lyrics!

VERY beautiful....


:loveya:

[Capn Sunshine]

20. Beverly?

is that you?

[Heidi]

23. Nope.

That's my mom's alter ego. I'm surrounded in life by Trek-o-maniacs. Pity me. :rofl:

[Robeson]

22. You say, "Do not compare me to Wes! He's a dweeb!"...

...now if he called you 7 0f 9, you'd better post a picture...:D

[Heidi]

24. Here ya go:

Mr. Heidi, fully of energy in a restaurant at 10 p.m. because he's a night person, and me, about to fall asleep in a restaurant at 10 p.m. because I'm a morning person. :eyes:

[Robeson]

25. I hope Mr. Heidi doesn't mind, if I say Mrs. Heidi is a cutie....

...:-)

[Heidi]

26. I'm sure that Mr. Heidi wouldn't mind . . .

as long as he's the only one allowed to call me "Ensign Crusher." :eyes:

[Robeson]

27. Don't worry. I'd never intrude on that, uh, honor.....

...:silly:

[Heidi]

28. !

:spray: :rofl:

Ya crack me up, Robeson.

[texanwitch]

29. Hello Heidi, I liked Data, I even met the actor that played him,

almost ran him over on my bike.

[Heidi]

30. I lovelovelove Data!

Next time, aim for Wesley Crusher when driving dangerously!

(I also love Odo from Deep Space 9, and Quark, the Ferengi bartender.)

[texanwitch]

32. It was both our faults. I was in a hurry and he was not paying attention

when he came out of the door.

Brent was very nice and signed the back of my T-shirt.

[texanwitch]

36. I met the actor that played Quark's brother at a small local Star Trek

Convention.

[Heidi]

37. Like I was telling WCGreen:

if Mr. Heidi and I had taken a honeymoon, I feel certain it would have been to a Star Trek convention. Or a Kylie Minogue concert. :eyes:

[Robeson]

31. Data Rocks!....

...one of my all time favorite characters....:thumbsup:

[Heidi]

33. I'm such a sucker . . .

I always love the really nice characters, and the quirky ones. :shrug:

[Robeson]

34. Heidi, do you realize that if you posted a link to this thread over on...

...DU Sci Fi Group, that you could start a real flame war? They'd jump over here in a heartbeat arguing over what season was the best, which uniforms were the best, and which Dr. Crusher hairstyle was the best. You could really inflame it by saying that Star Trek blew Babylon 5 out of the water. Just think of the possibilities!!!:D

[Heidi]

35. I may be a little nutty . . .

but I'm not yet certifiably insane!

If you breath a word about this thread to those fanatics, why I'll . . . I'll . . . I'll take your name off of my buddy list. That's what I'll do.

(Not really. :rofl: )

[texanwitch]

38. I know people like that, don't get them started.

[Heidi]

39. Fortunately, Mr. Heidi is a huge ST fan . . .

but not a fanatic. I think those folks have great futures in televangelism. :rofl:

[texanwitch]

40. Amen !!!!!!!!

I know of people who will start fights over which is better Star Trek or Star War.

[Robeson]

41. "those folks have great futures in televangelism"....

...Damn, I've never thought about that, but I think you're right...:think:

[Heidi]

42. I grew up in

University of Oklahoma football territory. I can spot a fanatic a mile away. :blush:

[texanwitch]

43. I knew someone back about 10 years ago who had her ears slightly

pointed so she could look like Mr. Spock.

[Heidi]

44. Now, _that's_ interesting.

But I wouldn't pass judgment about body modification. It's her body, and I guess if she has regrets, she can get her ears "un-pointed" in a few years. It's not something I'd do, though. :scared:

[texanwitch]

45. I went to a convention and one of the

roommates was into a vampire tv show popular a few years ago. She had very expensive fangs made and wore them all weekend, I didn't get any sleep.

[Heidi]

46. Mr. Heidi and I

have friends of all makes and models who've done interesting things to their bodies (a guy who has had his tongue surgically "forked," a woman who has those temporary corset piercings, etc.), and that's OK by us. I don't tolerate pain well enough for that sort of thing; I guess I'm "plain vanilla." ;)

[texanwitch]

47. I have seen the corset piercings, not for me but more power to them.

[AntiCoup2K4]

50. An old girlfriend of mine had fangs like that.

We didn't get much sleep either.... but that was probably because biting does some odd things to me.

Don't think I ever thought of any of my girlfriends as Wesley Crusher though.

[Heidi]

51. Were her fangs natural, or a modification?

There's a DU member who's in the process of modifying her body to become more cat-like. I find it fascinating, though not something I'd personally do.

Yeah, the "Ensign Crusher" thing cracked me up. But it was payback time, because I recently gave his new, huge flat-screen a Wesley Crusher screensaver. :evilgrin:

[AntiCoup2K4]

54. They were a modification, but she considered filing her teeth for a time

...That was before we met, but she told me about it. I'm not sure how I would have felt about that. Biting is one thing. Actually ripping the skin open.... well other than some good natured claw marks.....

never mind. TMI (and TMB* on my part)


*Too Much Beer

[DerekG]

48. "I will leave you as you left me. As you left her. Marooned for..."

Oops, sorry. I was channeling some real hate, there.

[Heidi]

49. Mr. Heidi would never say that to me . . .

especially after I've just sold two paintings. :rofl:

[DerekG]

52. Spend it on a male stripper and you'll hear: "Heidiiiiiiiiiiiii!"

"Heidi!" (as camera pans over planet)

[Heidi]

53. !

Unfortunately, Mr. Heidi knows me well enough to know that male strippers are perhaps the last thing I'd spend the lottery on. :rofl: (But I've had my eye of a beautiful fountain pen for quite sometime. ;) )

:hi: DerekG!

[Clintmax]

55. Hello, Miss Heidi!

When I worked at OfficeMax, I called my Assistant Sales Manager "Number One". He LOVED it, too! Don't take it badly. :hug:
