Ask Director of 'Trekkies' Roger Nygard

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the set-phasers-on-inquire dept.

When I was last in California, I had the good fortune to bump into Roger Nygard who agreed to be a Slashdot interview victim. He is the Director of Trekkies, 6 Days in Roswell and the recently released Trekkies 2. He's made quite a name for himself documenting some fairly extreme geek activity, and this is your chance to put him through the wringer. Standard interview rules apply: Post questions. Moderate them. We'll select the best and post Roger's answers in a few weeks.

    "through the ringer" just sounds obscene. Very obscene.

    You probably meant "through the WRINGER"; i.e., a device with a system of rollers to press (wring) clothes dry; obsolesced by the spin-cycle washing machine. It is somewhat analogous to the phrase "hung out to dry".

    Actually, I think he was comparing the /. interview process to sodomy. Fair enough.

    Yesterday, I messed up while making grilled cheese. You see, in flipping it, the bread came off and it landed exposed, cheese down, on the hot griddle. This made a terrible mess of my sandwich.

    I have no idea how to go about reversing the polarity of a grilled cheese sandwich. The mission was immediately aborted and I was forced to start over.

    You should have reversed the polarity of the grill, which would have resulted in a tasty cheeze beef treat.

    at a star trek con... three words. Babylon five uniform.

    Then when someone calls you stupid for dressing in the wrong get up point a mirror in their face and tell them their mother did a bad job with the uniform.

    Why does root beer foam up a whole lot when you initially pour it over ice, but then subesequent pourings don't foam as much, even though it's fresh root beer hitting the same ice?
