My pair of tangerine orange Versace jeans. Not quite shamed, but a bit reticent to wear them out =)

I have lost all respect for you

I used to play WoW a lot but got really sick of it.

Truthfully, for many of us, doesn't Trek at least partially apply? I never deny liking it, but it's also not a matter of conversation at parties or anywhere else where I'm trying to go home with a girl. In fact, the day Trek gets me laid is the day I'll proudly have the communicator badge tattooed on my chest.

Yeah, I would guess a lot of us have that problem/have had it multiple times before. Sci-fi fan stereotypes do have at least some basis in reality, in my experience. But then, every RPG star ship group needs its James T Kirk 8)

I am pretty open about what I do here. I don't make it a point of telling everyone I meet or anything, but if somebody asks what my hobbies are or anything then I tell them. I actually had DITL on my resume once under "IT skills", and it helped me get a job because one of the interviewers had heard of it.

And without going into detail, it has helped me out with a girl on one occasion. Didn't help as much as I would have liked, but it was a plus - and it did make her a good friend in the end, so that was cool.

I second that. Even my kids bust my balls for referencing Star Trek at least every few lessons. They actually enjoyed the clip of the audiobook version of "I,Q" I played for them, however. As well as the ever-wonderful DS9 Charge of the Light Brigade moment.

I occasionally watch the O'Reilly Factor on Fox News, simply because I enjoy watching a show that makes me feel intellectually superior to the host.

I don't have any really 'guilty' pleasures. I'm not ashamed of any of my likes, nor do I hide them or anything like that. It's who I am, for better or worse.

Thats really cool, big thumbs up for you, oh fearless leader of DITL! However did you not at the same time (this is entirely dependant on the context) scream to yourself: OH NOOOOO IM IN THE FRIEND ZONEEEEEE

Star Trek IS a bit of a guilty pleasure tho. I love watching it and talking about it to my friends who ALSO like it, just wouldn't admit it unless someone put me to the question, if you understand.
