Couple told by HOA to remove TARDIS from driveway.

The Doctor gets no respect.

"It was built by Moder's father as a wedding set piece, and she and her husband, David, were married in front of it.

"'My husband mentioned, "Do you want to do a Doctor Who themed wedding?'" Moder said. 'That could be fun.'

"Since then, their TARDIS has been used at sci-fi conventions and parties, and was even the focus of a Halloween haunt the Moders set up on their driveway in October.

"And that's where the homeowners association came in."

No sense of humor, no imagination. We are a self managed park and I know the hoa people work hard, and I duck and run. Everything has to be tooo straight and narrow. Fortunately I have creative happy neighbors and community options.

Some clown wanted to set one up in my neighborhood a few years ago. He was told to fold his petition until it is all sharp corners and put it where the sun don't shine

Some people see his visits as potential for marvelous adventure, maybe even an opportunity to Save The Fucking World!!!, but most people are simply terrified.

They think the Doctor is scary? They can't imagine worse.

I used to love to piss off my Trekkie friend by intentionally screwing up sci-fi references.
