Rant: Secret Sci-Fi Identities
Rod: And what do you mean by that crack?
Barry: There is no way our appearance isn’t conspicuous!
Rod: Well, let’s look around at our surroundings……….check out the guy at the video table.
Barry: He must be really searching intensely….look at all the wrinkles on his brow!
Rod: Dummy! He’s a Klingon!
Barry: Oh that’s right, I’m not used to seeing them up close and personal!
Rod: And over there is a group of Romulans…better keep them from the Klingons or we’ll need a referee!
Barry: But they’re appearance is mostly human and not like us.
Rod: Now check this guy out!
Barry: He’s an alien? With that striped shirt and rainbow suspenders, he’s just a guy needed a fashion consultant.
Rod: No, he’s an alien.
Person in Question: <as he walks by> Nanu Nanu!
Barry: Okay, I give, he’s possibly an alien, but he still needs fashion help, and again, he looks too human.
Rod: You got to admit, it’s a heck of an disguise
Barry: I’ll give you that one.
Rod: Okay, look to your right.
Barry: Okay, a Borg, but again, there is enough human appearance to not be alien.
Rod: Now I can prove my point! There is a Horta!
Barry: Okay, now that proves your point. Compared to it, we are not conspicuous.
<A lady with green skin walks up to the guys>
Orion Slave Girl: You are just so cute in those costumes! Can I get my picture made with you both?
Rod: Errrr…….Ahhhhhhhhh
Barry: Sssssssssure!
<Camera flashs as picture is taken with Orion girl holding them close to her>
Orion Slave Girl: Thanks guys! <kisses each of them on the cheek>
Rod: I won’t wash that cheek for a month!
Barry: A month? I’ll never wash mine!
Rod: Now what do you think of this convention?
Barry: It’s wonderful and a great chance to observe intelligent and attractive humans!
Rod: I couldn’t have said it better!
