It was a REALLY good mail day today

I went downstairs to get the mail, and in our mailbox I found two most entertaining objects.

First, a catalogue. It was addressed to a former occupant of the building, but once I saw what was on the back, I KNEW we had to have it. What tickles me about this are the words being used, and their obvious specificity in a particular subculture.

Second, a onesheet advertising an Easter service at a city church. But... er, aren't they in copyright violation?

So no cheques, but an interesting glimpse into a whole new world and a couple of LULZ. I can live with that.

As to the first...I'm just going to step away slowly, because otherwise my brain might melt and dribble out my ears.

As for the second, as a rule Paramount will not actually go after someone for copyright violation on "Star Trek" unless you're actually profiting from it or you're causing serious harm to the "franchise". That's why so many fan films like "New Voyages/Phase II" and "Hidden Frontier" exist - as long as they don't sell the finished work, the studio just looks the other way.

Mmm, plus it's pretty much tongue-in-cheek sort of humor. It kind of reminds me of a very clever "Matrix"-themed poster than the Legionaries of Christ used to advertise an open house they were having at one of their smaller training centers in the States.
