Hab SoSlI’ Quch!

February 4th, 2009
Author Troy Brownfield

In Denver, a man robbed two stores with a Klingon weapon.  No, I am not kidding.  Is it now time for a new crime bill that regulates the importation of off-planet arsenals?  “Please put all Batleths and Agonizers in the tray before boarding.”

    The fact that both 7-11 employees recognized the weapon and named it properly just makes the story.

    But as far as I’m concerned, this was just a guy who found or stole the weapon and used it as a glorified knife.

    A true Trekkie would have done the makeup.

    It was in Colorado Springs, about an hour or so to the south of Denver.

    I agree that a true fan would’ve done it in costume & makeup — all for the glory of empire!

    But what really kills me is the use of the blade itself. Having your own batleth is a pretty specialized thing… It’s not like that many people have one. Seems to me it won’t take long for the thief to be found out.
