"Fandom: Star Trek, like....Original Trek, Old Trek, When Dinosaurs Ruled
the Earth Trek, Ancient trek, Old Fart Trek, Not Your Grandson's Trek, I
Was Born Before Kennedy Was Shot Trek, Black and White TV Trek, I Remember
Woodstock Trek, Kirk Zipping Up His Boot and Pulling On His Shirt After
Getting Laid Trek."
