    It's hard to remember that they actually served human sized portions of food back then....

    If that meal consisted of fresh gagh, only then would the Klingon be truly happy...

    As a fluent Klingon speaker, I'm pretty sure they mis-translated the ending:

    If anything, this seems like it would encourage people to be more accurate in their typing, since the target finger area is smaller.

    @Jrsy Devil's Advocate: That would suck, B/c Dante "wasn't even supposed to be there today!", but would be good in that he wouldn't have been shot later in the night if someone had robbed him earlier. As for Randal, he's a Star Wars fan, so being attacked by a Star Trek weapon would have been the ultimate insult.

    @PenneAll'Arrabbiata_GitEmSteveDave: I think that's why the second store didn't get robbed. Dante was at the first one and just gave up the cash, being his usual whiny self. Randal on the other hand shamed that geek out of the store by eviscerating him worse than the bat'leth ever could..

    Right after high schol I worked a convenience store at night, alone, and a guy started throwing firelogs at me. When I took cover he grabbed a couple of cases of beer and took off. A bat'leth would make that a much cooler story than Duraflame logs do.

    @Curves: Wait, who would have the bat'leth? Cuz I can picture you wielding it and decimating the DurasFlame logs as you split them in twain, before sending the last one sailing back at the guy with a two handed B'Arq's defense.

    @Curves: yea if it makes you feel any better it sounds kooler than my robbery story.


    I was working at a gas station and my booth was like smaller than half a prison cell. anyways the guy came into the booth with a machete and threw the phone i was using(the moron didn't even hang it up). anyways the dude was waving this thing around and there was barely enough room for both of us to stand. i was more worried id get stabbed by accident than on purpose.


    So yea yours is definitely kooler.

    Both clerks described the weapon as a Star Trek Klingon-type sword, called a "Batleth."


    I guess if I were a 7-11 clerk I's pretty much sit around watching Star Trek reruns, too.
