In Star Trek, any actor whose character was destined to lose their life before the first commercial break was guaranteed two things: A vague character name for the actor’s resume and a red shirt.

And too bad if “Crew Member #3” was cute. Set your phaser to “Not Winning!” He was going to bite it and soon. Now we all know that “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few… or the one”, (Thanks Dr. Spock) but the whole-red-shirt-crew-member-you’ve-never-seen-on-the-Enterprise-before schtick is so famous that they even made fun of it in the film “Galaxy Quest”.

Regardless. This shirt is beyond hilarious and it makes a great gag gift for a Trekkie or a great anonymous office gift for that jackass who can’t stop brown-nosing the boss. Available for purchase at Think Geek.com, this is the ultimate in pop culture.

I am a homemaker-writer transplanted to Indiana from Seattle by way of my software engineer husband. Being married to someone in the software industry is like being married to someone in the military. You go where the job sends you. I am immersed in the techie world where I am learning to speak what I call "Geekinese" in order to survive being "a Timex watch in a digital age". Although I scoff at having to use three remote controls to turn on one television, honestly, I have the coolest internet set-up in the neighborhood and secretly covet the latest cool gadget. I would never admit that to my husband.
