I was driving to Megacon once and while stopped at a red light a Weeping Angel leans out of the passenger window of the car next to me and asks if they can pull in front of me when the light turned green. Of course I said yes, I'm not gonna piss off a Weeping Angel, lol.

Good call. Gotta keep them in sight.

If you saw it moving, that means it wasn't an Angel. They literally don't exist when observed.

I couldn't figure out what that was, but this comment reminded me of Dr Who. So thank you for jogging my memory! Was a fairly creepy episode.

That which carries the image of an Angel becomes itself an Angel.

an obvious space alien driving a ford focus

I think you mean Ford Prefect, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't drive, but he's a hoopy frood who always knows where his towel is.

A moment of loss as I realise I cannot tag with "r/unexpectedhitchikers"....

[–] JWBananas@startrek.website 9 points 2 years ago

@Thisfox, his hopes dashed.

[–] original_reader@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Be the change you want to see. 😁

Of course, I'd far rather be happy than right any day.

Hope the lifestyle comes together!

Keeping up with the Cardassians, are we?

[–] Thisfox@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago

No, letting them rocket ahead of us, weren't you paying attention? lol

So this was before cell phones, and I'll bet the landlines got knocked out by the quake, so yeah, in the immediate aftermath, you'd have no idea if your family was ok until you raced home to check on them. Makes perfect sense they wouldn't stop to take the shit off first.

I wouldn't be afraid of a direct confrontation with Garak. But I'd never be able to sleep again.

[–] theinspectorst@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

The problem when you make an enemy of Garak isn't the sleeping, it's the waking up again.

[–] CeruleanRuin 20 points 2 years ago

Tbf, it was LA. People there are used to that kind of thing.

as a secret operative in the Obsidian Order, Garak would be pleased to be mistaken for just an "alien"

[–] cecilkorik@lemmy.ca 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You must be mistaken. Everybody knows Garak is a plain and simple tailor, as he will cheerfully tell you in the face of whatever evidence you might provide to the contrary.

[–] theodewere@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

my mistake.. i make many mistakes..

other motorists on the road "Oh sh**! There must be a really big gas leak!"

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

They can just claim to be time travellers, lol.
