My husband and I are HUGE Stargate fans - SG1 and Atlantis. Our best friends are not and think we are total nerds for being so into it.
Example 1:
While walking over to Jenn and Chad's house for dinner one night, and after Sean found my Christmas gift from my mother - an ion ashtray that he dubbed 'the spaceship'. This convo is about that spaceship.
Sean: I was afraid to use it, I thought maybe I'd disappear or something.
Me: Ooh, or get sent to a (crap, can't think of the term now, grr) 'parallel space' like in Stargate.
Sean: Yeah! Exactly. That whole 'can't eat or drink' thing would suck though.
Me: but you could sit in a room and do rude things and no one would ever know.
(ok, there was more to this but I started to remember when I started typing and..well, its just probably not appropriate....moving on :))
Example 2:
The other day Chad bought a HUGE remote from Walgreens. You know, the remote that you have to hold with both hands? Yeah. Anyway, Jenn was changing channels and Sean made a comment that made them question our sanity.
Sean: Its like your dialing a Stargate.
Jenn: Blank look and raised eyebrow that said, What the hell? (I totally know that's what she was thinking, lol)
Sean: You know, cause your having to use your fingers...
Me: (cause it wasn't bad enough already) There are these really huge buttons on the console thingy and you have to dial like this (started one-finger typing imaginary keys).
Now Jenn and Chad are looking at us like we've lost it. They don't say a word.
Me: (while Sean is still going on trying to explain it) Stop honey, our nerd is showing.
Tonight we practically did a happy dance in their kitchen when Sean checked Netflix and saw that the first 3 disks of season 2 of Stargate: Atlantis will be here tomorrow.
We ARE total nerds :).

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who lets their geek out like that.
I totally LOL @ the Remote Conversation as I can see that happening in my house.
(Btw- I think the term you were looking for to describe the spaceship is 'out of phase')
also *loving* the blog stumbled upon it the other day!
Yes! Out of phase!! Thank you so much - it was driving me crazy :).
think about how much worse off you'd be if you didn't mutually love stargate. If only one of you felt that way, it wouldn't be near as much fun. :) Now you get to show your nerd together.
Too funny! I'm not a fan of Stargate but substitute Battlestar Galactica and I can totally relate :-)
