Default Man Holds Up Two 7-11s with Bat'leth

Not a very honorable thing to do

Romulans posing as Klingons I'm guessing trying to break the treaty.

This casts serious doubt on the alliance we have with the Klingon's IMO. Freedom from the Dominion is great and all, but at what cost?

Come on. If someone threatened you with a Bat'leth it should be abundantly clear that he is a nerdlinger. All you'd have to do is wait until his hacking cough due to fresh air incapacitates him and then charge him when he reaches for his inhaler.

I thought I could hear the "Sonork" playing in the background. Could this have been the traditional coming of age ritual, the "Rite of Ascension"?

Was the peace nothing but "rojqoq"?

Which begs the question, where was Locke on the day of this crime. I mean really, he's only ever in two places. His moms basement, or hanging out with his friends playing the live version of dugeons and dragons.

Who am I kidding a level 8 elven thief could never pull this off.

Next on Fox: When Nerds Go Hungry

Don't forget to wait for the thrilling part 2 to the 4 part series titled Fast and the Furious 8: Nerds on Redbull During Their First Lay.

Funny thing- my guess is the Bat'leth is probably stolen itself.

Because if you are imersed so far into Klingon culture that you own a Bat'leth, you wouldn't even consider using it for something so dishonerable.

I want to know who looked at the discription of the sword by witnesses and thought "This sounds a lot like a Bat-leth!" Nerd Cop!

If the peace is not real peace but rojqoq then is it not honorable to fight your enemies when you feel like this towards them :

We are not ready to believe you
We are not ready to believe you
We are not ready to believe you
Your smell makes me sick
Your words make me sick (from the Rojqoq)

This thread needs a poll to determine how many people knew what a Bat'leth was before they came in

Perhaps the attack was also commentary on the bailout. Yet another verse from the old Klingon song :
As for this peace, it is a "so-called" peace
And this friend, he is a "so-called" friend
And this help, it is "so-called" help

The "so-called help" driving the guy to attack that pillar of American capitalism "7-11".
