Today Was Kind Of A Good Day To Rob

Times must be tough on Qo'NoS as a man armed only with a small bat'leth robbed one store and tried to rob another.

As reported by TheDenverChannel.com, a man wearing a black mask threatened the clerk of a Colorado Springs 7-Eleven convenience store with a bat'leth and was able to escape with an undisclosed amount of money.

A half hour later, he tried the same stunt at another 7-Eleven, but the clerk of this store, obviously Romulan, refused to hand over the goods and the robber was forced to leave empty-handed.

The Klingon-wannabe remains at large. The clerks in both stores knew what a bat'leth was. They were unable to say whether the crescent-shaped yard-long weapon was made of metal or was merely a cheap knock-off.

Thanks to Bill Williams for the tip!

This guy is going to give all Trekkers a bad name.  :laugh:

And what happened to people robbing stores with guns? lol

That is actually kinda funny in an odd sorta way. I doubt many people on Earth are actually very skilled with the Bat'leth.

LOL I'm sitting here wondering if he was the owner of the bat'leth originally. Surely a trekker wouldn't get involved in this sort of thing! Perhaps he had stolen the bat'leth previously?

What are things coming to?

I have to say that I haven't laughed that hard in days!  Seriously, I checked the forum on my ipod this morning and started laughing so hard I woke up Amy.  She and I both laughed for a good few minutes.  Great line! 

I may have to write a Klingon song called "Free Cheese and the Battle of Slurpee"  :)  thanks for the great laugh.

TNG had a 'Mad Eye' character long befor Harry Potter!

I just love the fact that both clerks 'knew what a bat'leth was'. It says something about the staff in these places!

Naw, the Ferengi would buy up a controlling share in the bank and get their money that way.

Word.  Why bother robbing the bank when they can control it?
