Safe Trip to The Boy!

That's right... back to Germany he goes today. Great news is that his new assigned post is in Louisianna. Not too far to go vistit him. We had a great time this weekend... Cubs game...nice talks...lots of laughing. I'll miss you, Weak....
Best Quote of the Weekend:
"Hey, weak...you see that statue of Harry Carray over there.. the one with all the creepy faces under him?"
"Yes, Weak."
"It reminds me of fucking Dante's Inferno, Weak."

Ah, yes....Weak. Where did the name come from?
Well, once upon a time in America, we had a Star Trek interactive video board game. After a while, we stopped playing the game and just watched the tape as it was some of the funniest shit we had ever seen. The tape was hosted by a Klingon Commander whose job it was to annoy the piss out of you...putting you in stasis fields so you couldn't move around the board, etc. As an added bonus, he'd heckle us as we played. Well, it was from one of the insulting bouts with this Klingon the the name "Weak" originated.

Klingon: "Who is the lowest ranking member of your party?" (this is decided at the beginning of the game I guess" (Pause so you can "answer him")
Klingon: "I will call you Pooge, Klingon for weak."

So, from then on, The Boy and his friends walked around greeting eachother with "Heya Pooge!" And then one day... it was just shortened to "Heya WEAK!" And The Boy and I never gave it up.

So, there you have it. The nickname The Boy and I have have for eachother (besides me calling him The Boy) derives itself from one of the dorkiest sources possible. A Star Trek Board Game.

I love you Weak!
