You might be safe what kind of Hondas are those, are they khitomer Accords?

Wow, this wordplay has layers.

[-] cygnus@lemmy.ca 89 points 1 year ago

Good thing there's a neutral zone in between.

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 55 points 1 year ago

So there's a cloaked pickup flying a Romulan flag in the street?

[-] SzethFriendOfNimi@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

OP. It’s time to have a clear plastic flag with white for the Romulan empire made and placed at the edge of your property.

[-] DharmaCurious@startrek.website 48 points 1 year ago

I want to live in this neighborhood so badly. If anyone can get me into a rental in that neighborhood, I will fly the flag of Bajor!

You may be in a neighborhood like that already! You just need to be the first to fly the flag.

[-] DharmaCurious@startrek.website 21 points 1 year ago

My nearest neighbor is a km/half a mile away, and she has no interest in star trek. The only flag she flies has MAGA on it :(

Ferengi at least follow rules, give me them or even the Borg before a bunch of Y’all Qaeda

Weaponized ignorance. Nailed it.

Flags you say? What's your stance on statues of benevolent rulers?

[-] DharmaCurious@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago

No statues to the butcher of Bajor!

[-] negativenull@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

What about the Hero of Canton? The man they call Jane?

[-] medienlampe@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

Praise be Vera and his bunk!

The only problem with the Klingon flag is that when you first glance it from a distance, well...

[-] Shut_up_Wesley@startrek.website 24 points 1 year ago

True story. Flew our Klingon flag... neighbors thought it was a nazi flag. Had to explain..."no, no, we are not Nazis (I'm actually Jewish). We are just really big geeks." Yeah...that was the last time we flew that one.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

It looks nothing like a swastika. Is it just because of the colors?

[-] usernamesaredifficul@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

the colours and layout. If I didn't know it was a Klingon flag I would guess the middle symbol is fascist from context. It's clearly based on the nazi flag

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

It's an inverted Japanese flag with the Klingon logo in the middle.

Yep. Our friends flew one for a 4th of July party and one of the party guests took them aside and explained what it looked like to a casual observer.

[-] InputZero@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

I was just thinking that. If I didn't know what it was beforehand driving past it, I'd assume it was a Nazi swastika. Wonderful of that neighbor though. tlhIngan maH! taHjaj!

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

And the UFP flag is giving globe emoji on first glance

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 29 points 1 year ago

Me, down the street: "THE ROMULAN EMPIRE WILL RISE AGAIN!"

Neighbor next door is a Romulan flag, you just can't see it.

Crappy house down the street with the Camaro on cinder blocks and beer cans all over the lawn has a Cardassian flag.

[-] Ertebolle@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago

The pushy evangelical church down the street has the Bajoran flag

[-] WrittenWeird@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Prophets be with you, my child.

The minister seems nice and well meaning enough but…kinda creepy and you don’t want to be alone with her

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

She's busy sleeping with the enemy at this point.

Neighbor next door is a Romulan flag, you just can't see it.

Well played

[-] clearedtoland@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I can’t tell how serious you are but I love the DS9 analogy.

[-] Apeman42@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

The actual Cardassian flag, or the Dukat one that says "Make Cardassia Strong Again"?

Glory to you, and your house.

[-] BreadOven@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Your neighbors probably: today is a good day to die.

[-] Palerider@feddit.uk 14 points 1 year ago

Huh, amatures. We didn't bother with the Klingon flag, we had the symbol put into our block paved drive.

[-] jayandp@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago

Is the road the Neutral Zone?

[-] ex_nihilo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It would be if the neighbors hung the romulan empire flag.

[-] negativenull@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago
[-] clearedtoland@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

This would obviously be where Jeffrey Combs lives.

[-] norbert@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

That entire side of the street is his houses, they all look completely different and were built at different times but they're all very nice houses and people love them.

They bring dishonor to their house.

Shields up Captain!

[-] clearedtoland@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I wish I had cool (uncool?) neighbors like that. Mine just never trim their encroaching hedges, and generally seem friendly but slightly ominous - like cardassians or romulans, come to think of it.

Do you only call them when you have one of your dramas?

[-] worker_bear@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
