Happy Geek Pride Day

[filkertom]

33rd anniversary of the release of Star Wars, too. Yeesh. No question, that's well into see-it-with-your-grandkids range.

Any particular point of Geek Pride for you? I think mine is the Kosh inaction figure. Or maybe the various avatars of Cthulhu around the house. Or the Wallace & Gromit alarm clock. Or my collection of Slave Leias. Or the Chronicles of Prydain collection that I've carefully kept for about thirty years. Or the stupid number of external hard drives I've got laying around. Or....

Tons o' geek stuff on my computer, but physically I'd say 5 pieces in particular of all the physical stuff I have:

1. a poster of Claudia Christian, that I made myself with photoshop, based on her Playboy spread that she autographed

2. a model of the USS Excelsior I made out of gray space Lego bricks in high school that is still intact

3. a 3" die-cast Shogun Warrior figure that is in fair condition still (Dragun, the red and blue robot who kinda looks like the Statue of LIberty crossed with Londo Mollari)

4. my Doctor Who sonic screwdriver toy

5. my books - recently heavily scaled back for moving purposes, so it's really just the best stuff or the stuff I most want to read, and so are now even more precious to me!!

Now if I can just find a proud geek grrl to share all this with!! :)

Regarding point 1 - the shot on the fur? With the dagger? ...I'll be in my bunk.

Regarding point 4 - which version of the Sonic Screwdriver?

Regarding question on point 4: Um, the Tennant version? The one that was so good the show's effects guys copied for themselves.

Regarding question on point 1: Neither. The one with her in the blue corset. I photoshopped it to make it look like Earthforce-issue lingerie. I have a scan if you're interested (minus the autograph of course)

What shot with a dagger? I don't recall that in the spread, but then I know she had a lot of photos taken that weren't used in the magazine...

Yes, please! This is a perm account, so my username @lj will get to me.

*remembers the shot on the fur with the dagger*
*points out to Saganth (in the next room) that I remember the shot and can't believe he forgot it*
*fans self*
*pulls up shot on computer*
*Saganth points out that shot was not from the Playboy spread*
*Saganth ignores naked Claudia in favor of pointing out that those are too long to be daggers*
*Saganth wins SCAdian geek cred*
*heads for my bunk anyway*
