Picard could out-fight, out-seduce, and out captain Kirk in his sleep. and, for the record, I've read almost every Heinlein novel published. Asimov is good, too- but HEINLEIN- c'mon! thank you BoK. I didn't fully realize what an absolute nerd I was until just now. chess is the game of kings, thankyouverymuch. but I do want to say that I gladly partake in the particular nerdery of which Rich Sommer is the master, and enjoy it quite a lot.

Vern: Do you think Mighty Mouse could beat up Superman?

Teddy: What are you, cracked?

Vern: Why not? I saw the other day, he was carrying five elephants in one hand!

Teddy: Boy, you don’t know nothing! Mighty Mouse is a cartoon. Superman’s a real guy. There’s no way a cartoon could beat up a real guy.

Vern: Yeah, maybe you’re right. It’d be a good fight, though.

I almost typed Lincoln, but I meant the 1960s, so that would have been wrong. Right, that’s what makes it extra geeky — it’s passé. :)

Does anyone even have Kirk vs. Picard debates anymore? I thought that was settled years ago... gone the way of Angel vs. Riley debates. Please. Does anyone even have Kirk vs. Picard debates anymore?

Oh, okay, or Spike vs. Angel. Rich Sommer: I spent some time at your blog today, and it's very nicely done, and I'm not just saying this, because you're a fellow Minnesotan -- heck, it's not like you're an Iron Ranger! Anyhow, quite nicely written. Right, chess is different from a Kirk vs. Picard debate. Oh, okay, or Spike vs. Angel.

And Michael would have been in on the nerdfest, 'cept he was napping. Just didn't want him left off the nerd list. God, he's a nerd. Done.
