To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Not a star trek thing, but he has a history of discussions involving SF&Fantasy, and I wasn't limiting him to being a tech geek, just identifying him as a fellow geek, albeit a higher ranking one.

I can't even.
