Anyone willing to show their age?

Teen boy #1: No, the gold one is called 'CD3' or something. The little one is, like, 'R4M23.'
Teen boy #2: I think the gold robot was named 'R3DM24.' It was the small one that was 'C-something.'
Teen boy #3: No, man, the gold guy was 'C3DDO,' and the little silver one was 'RH52' or some ***.
Frustrated 30-something lady behind them: The gold one is 'C3PO' and the smaller one is 'R2-D2'!
Teen boy #2: Oh, thanks -- you can tell we're not Trekkies.

... what an outrage confusing Star Trek with Star Wars. tisk tisk.

Seriously, Trekkies do nothing but fire a "laser gun" (said in a Dr. Evil voice), compared with SW which has cool space wizards and knights.

What are schools teaching these kids today!

I know, it's disgraceful. How hard can it be?

Star Wars= Harrison Ford in tight pants

Star Trek= no Harrison Ford in tight pants

Then again, my brother can't be much older than the guys in the above conversation, and he knows his Boba Fett from his Tusken raiders.

(if anyone has any spare figurines of said characters knocking about, well... his birthday's coming up)

I found the prequels hilarious - seeing Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor wandering around talking into what I'm certain were Lady Shavers in their civilian life was just priceless.
