This would be fun to play with. (From thinkgeek.com)

Also for sale on the site there is a red t-shirt with the word “EXPENDABLE” in a trekky font. Heh. (Via WWdN:iX.)

A small boast: I have had the privilege of holding, in my hands, a real phaser. Really from the show, that is. A few years ago we spent a fun weekend at the coast with the family of a good friend. One night, in between rounds of Balderdash, I was talking with one of our hosts. He and I discovered that we both love Star Trek. He proceeded to knock my socks off with the story of how he had met Majel Barrett at a convention some years ago. He had become friendly enough with her that she had given him a few items, including the phaser and an original series communicator. I was thrilled when he offered to bring them out.

I must say: touching actual Star Trek set pieces was wonderful, but being two degrees of separation from Majel Barrett is a hundred times better. I heart Majel Barrett.
