Like most workplaces, mine is filled with female workers, the vast majority of which know **** about sports. And we've got a boatload of high school graduate level walk-on style college sports fans, the majority of which is affiliated with The Alliance. So I had to laugh when I walked into the breakroom and heard one of our elder statesmen secretaries (late 60s) telling the cadre of cackle bitches, "Can you BELIEVE that there's Ole Miss fans trying to get some Star Trek character as our mascot??!!?!??!"
Yes, she said 'Star Trek.' A 30 something corrected her, but it didn't seem to register or matter. As predicted, there will be any number of morons who believe this is real.
Not wishing to participate meaningfully in this silliness, but wanting desperately to contribute to this uber-*****'s sense of exasperation, I tossed this grenade: "Mrs. [redacted], I think the space character is a plot, a trap, if you will. I understand that the administration is using subterfuge to mask what they are actually planning, which is to put a BLACK MAN in the Colonel Reb uniform."
Good times.
