"Shaka, when the walls fell"


So how much of a nerd am I?

Whilst in the midst of the beach party Christian and I passed comment regarding how the Czech kids were dancing like crazy and all the North Americans were happily reverting back to college days of flip cup, drinking games, and socialising. When I past the comment, "Shaka, when the walls fell" well this nearly floored Christian when I followed it up with the comment "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra". This obscure but, completely relevant reference to the second episode of the fifth season of Star Trek the Next Generation sparked a ten minute discussion of the episode and including an amusing story of Kelly Arnold near mishap with 'assimilation' by the Borg at a Star Trek Convention.
