Thanks for making me "famous" or at least seen and discussed in here: http://www.metafilter.com/mefi/48973
I'm a graphic designer here in Brazil and, surely I'm a ST fan...
I laughed my pants off with the thread and comments, and all the "importance" and "opinions" you and your pals let there about my kidding with photos and recrations to my "character"...!
Surely that was a plan - the plan! - to finally get me to write a book and get profit out of it all...!!
The firt part was done - and will be going on as long as necessary and as long I have fun doing it...!!
But nevertheless, all that is written about that project is quite nutritive...!
Please let it be known to all your pals, the people that wrote there, that I really READ all that was written there...! And I found it delightful and funny...! Hehehehe...!!!
I have sense of humor, and most of the people here too...!! SOme are a little too much preocupied with "other" implications of my hobby, but I asure you what I do I do fo MY own pleasure! And I do it to have fun and be part of what I like...!
Some people write books (I intend to do it too), some people make movies (I'm inserted in this area here in Brazil too) and some people jus go to conventions and dress on like characters or watch TV...
I like what I do, and that's enough for me...! All the rest, just pleases my mind and my heart with fun and joy!!
Thanks to you to make happy today...!! Tell the others that "I got it"...!! ;o)
Best wishes,
Marshall Oak
(the myth behind the man)

He's used up his lifetime supply of exclamation points. posted by ColdChef at 8:10 AM on March 18, 2006
Spiffy. But does he live in a PO box? posted by Gator at 8:12 AM on March 18, 2006
I cannot believe I missed that thread.
I'm a huge fucking Trekkie (all 49 TNG DVDs, etc.), but . . . I'd like to mail that guy one of those solid gold communicator pin replicas. I guess mailing him something for his site would be kinda creepy, but I figure he's got me as outclassed in the 'creepy' department as he has me outclassed in the 'Trek fan' department.
Just . . . Jesus. Wow. posted by Ryvar at 8:36 AM on March 18, 2006
Hehehehe...!!!
I think that's a terrific title for a musical. posted by Astro Zombie at 9:10 AM on March 18, 2006
Neat! For being such a good sport, I say we get Marshall his own MeFi baseball jersey - in red velour, of course. posted by Smart Dalek at 10:14 AM on March 18, 2006
Marshall, I think you could make some money of the side by charging people to Photoshop them into Star Trek scenes. posted by LarryC at 10:45 AM on March 18, 2006
he has a great attitude about it, esp. with the snark people displayed--a good guy. Enjoy, Marshall! : > posted by amberglow at 10:47 AM on March 18, 2006
Man, that's awesome. I already stated my love for his site (and I'm a star wars fan who hates star trek, even!) in the original thread, but now I profess my undying affection for the man himself. again:
If only more people would have this easygoing attitude. Good for Mr. Oak. Set phasers to...delighted!! posted by Falconetti at 1:42 PM on March 18, 2006
