OK, that was seriously fun. I haven’t watch the whole of The Wrath of Khan in years. It was made cooler by forcing our kids to sit down and watch it with us.
No, they didn’t do anything wrong. Shut up.
This is part of their edumacation! You see, believe it or not, in spite of their supra-geek status and the many cultural references to that seminal scream of Mr. James T. Kirk, neither one of the offspring knew where it originally came from! They’re geeks, true, but their geekery extends to things like anime and roleplaying games. They’ve never really sat still for good ole Star Trek.
So, tonight, we did what all families do when faced with a crisis. We huddled around the television to become enlightened. And there he was, in all his plastic-chested glory: KHAAAAAAN!
“Khaaaannnn” is frequently heard above the hubbub here…and we also include “I grow weary of the chase” in every day conversation. It never ends around here. The kids don’t know any different.

“From hell’s heart, I stab at thee!”
Dude, you need to step up the edumacatin’ if those children got to be that big and didn’t get the “KHAAAAAAAAN!” reference.
My four-year-old makes me tell her the story of “Star Wars”..er, I mean “A New Hope” every DAY!
Plastic Chest?!?!?! NOOOOOOOO! Tell me it isn’t so!! After all these years….
Ya gotta love the edumacation going on. It’ll be invaluable later.
“Ah, Kirk, my old friend, do you know the Klingon proverb that tells us revenge is a dish that is best served cold?
It is very cold in space.”

Khan’s chest isn’t plastic. it’s Vin Diesel.
No, no! The chest was real. Ricardo said it was. It has to be!
If that wasn’t real, then what of the Tooth Fairy, what of…
