@Garrison Dean: R.O.A.C.H.: Surprised this wasn't included in the mix.

@Flako_FigZ: Senior Chief Petty Officer Miles O'Brien, actually. He's probably the only person in the whole Federation who never attended college before joining Starfleet. I imagine his right arm must be locked in a permanent salute position — poor guy. ^_^

@Jared D Weiss: Tell him that I said his performance in Crimes and Misdemeanors was spectacular.

@duckyvoodoo: Because the 90s never die.

@Haneyg: I should've read the comments further, as you already beat me to my punchline.

I thought one of the perks of flying was the chance of getting screwed.

"A billion more pieces and our ultimate Risk game can begin!"

It's been my understanding that dealings with Great Old Ones never end well.

@Roman Cruz: Or a twead jacket, rolled-up pants, suspenders and a bow tie; bonus points if you bring a fez.

@WookieLifeDay: A guy went as Rowdy Roddy at a party a few days ago, but most people accused him of being a Hipster. Apparently, it is now hip to be the Piper. Who knew?

@Nogard13: Agreed.

@Roger Skrzynski: Oh, you must be lost: the Tea Party is on the other side of town, down at the corner of Crazy Lane and Hypocrisy Drive.

@Heriloke: Double-plus true.

@Krakenstein: Dark Knight Rises: Because he couldn't use Dark Victory without making it obvious.

@omgwtflolbbqbye: Definitely not digging on her outfit, that's for sure. Wouldn't mind something like the current comic book book version of her outfit (with the goggles and such). This, though, looks more like female Nite-Owl, sans cape.

I wouldn't mind something along the lines of Baskerville Old Face, or maybe something in an Art Deco vein if the headstone's of the appropriate material. Knowing my luck, though, my family will saddle me, eternally, with Comic Sans. Oh well, at least I'll be too dead to care.

Waa waa waa waaaaaaaa

@robamb2002: Ha! You beat me to it.

@corpore-metal: It also stemmed from the prevalence of radio, a wholly-audio means of entertainment. Without meaningful stares and romantic montages, they had to fill the time with as much dialogue as possible to keep the audience enthralled.
