Starbase 66 show

Summary: This week Kennedy and the Admiral ponder what future geekery lies in store for their children.(http://www.simplysyndicated.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/c754_star_trek_onesies_inuse-251x300.jpg) Show notes: The Prodigal Kanadian finally returns from space exile, to find his quarters converted to extra rum storage, his action figure collection posed in impressively questionable positions, and a completely new rotation of redshirts since his last visit. This would also explain why the Bajoran is back in anger management therapy... In celebration of the Starbase's Command Center being 100-percent breederlicious on this episode, the Admiral and Kennedy delve into a topic near and dear to their fertile hearts: the future of potential geekery that lies in wait for their progeny. What dorky delights await the Star Baby and the Weather Baby? Will these geeky dads get their way and be allowed to indoctrinate these newest additions to the Starbase crew into the realm of genre fiction adoration? Will their offspring share their affection for sites like the Mego Museum (http://www.megomuseum.com/) or Plaid Stallions (http://www.plaidstallions.com/)? Will they become the future spokespeople for ThinkGeek (http://www.thinkgeek.com/)? Actually, never mind the babies...Dear Timmy, can the current Starbase crew become the spokespeople for ThinkGeek? That would be teh awesome. OKTHXBAI. Interspersed throughout this episode, the Admiral and Kennedy share aspects of their own journey to geekdom while revealing themselves to be secret Luddites by lamenting how easy technology makes everything for the young whippersnappers these days. The Bajoran blogger is willing to bet that somewhere on the digital cutting room floor is one of her crewmates uttering the phrases, "Back in my day" and/or "uphill both ways in the snow." Finally, the Bajoran would like this to be her contribution to this particular discussion: Combining Total Recall and baby products has already occurred. It's called the "Peekaru" or "Baby Snuggie." You have been warned. (http://starbase66.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/peekarukuato.jpg)
