Yeah, I have a reef scene shower curtain, a reef scene comforter on my bed, pillows, sheets, plates, cups, and all kinds of other knick knacks with reef scenes. Does that make me a wimp? No, I'm just a reefer in a linebackers body.

BTW, what in the world made you think up this poll RanRoc??? sounds like a question one of Scott's "reefer" friends would come up with while they were "reefin" with the jam band
Hah...I do not condone nor do I condemn...

Trekkies, Reefers, "reefers," we are all just folks with crazy obssesions. Whatever keeps you sane I suppose...

Take er easy

I'd like to hear the rationale for those voting for Trekkies to win in a fight against reefers. Wouldn't trekkies be too busy calculating how to win a fight or talking to each other on their communicators to notice a pound of LR being smashed against their craniums? Really, why would a trekkie beat a reefer? BTW, Sci-Fi channel has Twilight Zone marathon on now

I also think reefers are more devoted than treekies. Think about it.. what treekie that you know has every treekie item in their possesion suspended in a glass/acrylic container that is constantly on the edge of destruction?? Us reefers have to constantly study and maintain our eco system to ensure the survival of our creatures What treekie takes off work or returns early from vacation when they hear the power is out?? What treekie leaves their valuables under the care of another qualified treekie while on vacation??

Yeah, us reefers in it up to our ears!! LOL~~

LOL...awesome points Woodstock! Although no one would think that I'm very devoted if they saw all the red slime algae in my tank right now!

Kirk: "Scottie...we need warp filtration; how fast can you get that protein skimmer to start foaming?!?"
Scottie: "I'll need at least another day or two Cap'ain!"
Kirk: "We DON'T HAVE another day!"
Dr. Mcoy: "Damnit, Jim! He's a Trekkie, not a Reefer!"

LOL.

On the cost alone, can you say Metal Halide? We reefers win the sickness award!

That's true Craig, but I wonder how much it costs to have a wedding ceremony in trekkie garb and spoken in Klingon.

Not as much as a traditional Catholic Wedding with 400 invitees. Why did my daughter have to be soooo beautiful, yikes!

LOL! I know what you mean. Out of all the weddings I've been to, the Catholic ones seem to draw the most people. My family is Catholic, and when one of my of cousins (out of dozens) got married, it was like they had to form a new city to accommodate everyone. She had seven priests conducting the ceremony. I guess they wanted to get it right the first time.
