Spotted in Kitchener when I was there for Christmas. (The weird bar thing across the bottom of the picture is the framing of one of the windowpanes at a Tim Hortons.)



enotsola and I were disappointed to see a middle-aged couple without any visible geekiness step out of this thing, because that meant it would have been weird and awkward to strike up a conversation.

42TARDIS.

It's photographed through a window and covered with road salt, but I can still read it just fine...?

Man, that's just about the best license plate ever.

The... the Vogons have the Blue Box?

Thank you. That's a cool license plate. And I'm very glad that you can read it just fine... ?

Although I probably look like one of those middle-aged-people without visable geekiness, my geekitude is surely growing by leaps and bounds. Due in large part to my willingness to play in the geeky sandbox, and learn from my younger compatriots.

Are people driving a lot of these SmartCars in Canada?

well Dr. Who was pretty popular back in the day among otherwise non-geeky Brits, so maybe it is just a part of happy childhood memories or something?

Well, I mean, it is in focus, and other people seem to be getting it fine. "I can't read it" is cool, but "it's too blurry" doesn't seem warranted. *shrug*

sorry, I'm cranky. I don't mean this to sound as bitchy as it does.

OH GOD!

The picture *is* somewhat blurry. It was taken from behind a car window, so that would effect the carity regardless of the focus.

As for the fineness of the comment, let's let the owner of the journal decide that.

I dunno "a lot" but I do see them now and again, enough that Gord often remarks "silly SmartCars!"

[arethinn]

Could be, although that depends on when "back in the day" is (HHG is 1979ish, I think?). Anyway, I'm not saying they weren't geeks (although it's also possible they might have borrowed a child's car or something), but that their lack of personal "geek vibe" plus the age difference merely meant it would have felt very strange to go up to them and talk to them about it.

It was taken sitting down inside a restaurant.

Anyway, esmestrella and starlightforest are both me. Sometimes I forget to switch when I answer a comment.

from the OP:



Yes, still a window, and yes, the picture is still somewhat blurry. Taking pictures from behind windows rarely yields stelar results.

Pardon the bad spelling. It's time ot go home.
