True story: we had some Doctor Who signage show up at work last week (like for a display), which was puzzling because generally corporate America doesn't know that Doctor Who exists. And I'm like, dude, why do we have Doctor Who signs? And the trade books manager is like dude, I don't know, but I want to find out because I like Doctor Who. And I'm like me toooo!!!! I'm gonna find out you just like Tennant and then I am going to cry. And then we shrugged and went about business because we don't have any Doctor Who stuff.
But our evil corporate overlords tend to just send us allll the signs, even the ones we don't need, so I suspect we are not going to have any Doctor Who stuff. In which case I am totally asking her if I can keep a sign, even if it is a season five promo image *purse* I shall stick it on my wall and use it to bring all the secret fandorks out of hiding. And then I assume we will all build a fort in the stockroom and watch Doctor Who together, yes.
Very neat. I hope you find more fans - I've yet to do so at my work. (Well, everyone *knows* Doctor Who, so it's not the same. But fans are something else. One of my co-workers turned out to have been a Buffy-watcher, but as her comment on the show was 'Oh yes, that was fun!' I suspect that she wasn't exactly writing twisted vampire porn on the side... *g*)
In fairness, I doubt you bought up your twisted vampire porn either.
It is hard to think of what to say about Doctor Who to people who may only be casual watchers. 'You like Doctor Who? Me too! What do you think about the use of egg symbolism in the seventh season?! No, I didn't really care for David Tennant . . .'
At least one is pretty well assured that anyone watching DW over here is some variety of subculture junkie, even if DW particularly isn't their thing.
She's 60 years old and fairly... conservative. She finds Fifty Shades of Grey rather unseemly, so no, no vampire porn for her, I don't think.

I'm intrigued by the "junk tardis" though...
