Let the Geekyness Commence

Jecca is a sensible girl (mostly) she likes good things (....mostly). She has gone crazy on Dr Who. Loves the show. Loves Rose. Had her haircut to look like her more. made me sad.

But none the less, I took her to a Sci-Fi show today.

It was at the National Space Center. Had a really good day. They had loads of Dr Who stuff, that jecca really liked. Loads of Alien stuff and even Firefly stuff!

Oddly though, all the Firefly had "No Photography" signs all round it. And a random woman watching you as you got closer to it making sure you didn't take any pictures. Felt like shouting "No pictures, no pictures" everytime I went back to have another look.

I took loads of pictures, but unfortunately on a real camera, so you will all have to wait till I get them developed and scanned.

Jecca was scared by Davros and the Daleks. REALLY didn't like them, but they were squirting water at people so I held her close and got her to watch so that she saw the funny side and just enjoyed herself. Didn't want her to go home just remembering being scared. i thought that was the right thing to do, see her scared just pick her up (me being brave and strong I can handle any danger and will save her) and just showing her there is nothing to be scared of from a safe distance.

Which brings me nicely to my fav point of the day.

Dad: Go and stand next to the Dalek for a picture son.
Son: *shitting himself* err...........no
Dad: get over there for the picture. I want a picture of the Dalek.
Son: I don't want to.
Dad: get over there!
Son: No *starts crying*
Dad: Fucks sake! *pushes camera into sons chest, storms over to Dalek, stands there smiling like a cunt* Take a fucking picture.

No his kid was about 8ish he was like 30. I wanted to hit him so much.

My version of this conversation.

Craigy: Want your picture next to a Dalek?
Jecca: *Shitting herself* NO!
Craigy: Ok, who do you want a picture next to?
Jecca: The army!
Craigy: Army?...........you mean the Marines? The marines from Alien?
Jecca: YEAH!
Craigy: Lets find them! Jecca....you are quality.
Jecca: I know!

We did and I hope it turns out cause its going to be a great picture.

It was a top day, made all the better by Jecca having a great time as well.

Not much more you can ask for.

But this badge didn't go a miss!

I cannot f*cking believe I missed the only SF event in Leicester, ever. Possibly.

Sergeant Apone was there!

Ok, its annoying me now.

What the hell does that mean?

Col. Orange said...

In the name of the father, the son, and holy spirit.

Col. Orange said...

Is Kelly undercover, or so drunk she can't log on?

Craigy Boy said...

Shhhhhhhh! She's an undercover ninja!

She could be anywhere at anytime, lurking in the shadows.

Kinda like Chuck.

But a girl..........and less hairy!

But just as deadly.

I think everyone is less hairy than Chuck, by virtue of not being him. He's just a tiny, angry furry creature. Much like Taz, only with 100% more roundhouse kicks.

"I think everyone is less hairy than Chuck"

Two words:

Robin Williams.

Col. Orange said...

Does Williams have a beard that can deflect bullets? Hmmm?

Col. Orange said...

Ninjas: They're more afraid of you than you are of them.

Craigy Boy said...

Maybe so, but Kelly is a drinking Ninja.

She drinks rum and fears no-one!
