Pronunciation: spok stok er

Sentence: Being a sci-fi obsessive individual, it was inevitable that Venus would become a spockstalker. She affected the terse, logical voice of her hero, Mr Spock of Star Trek. She sported the big ears and uniform of the Starship Command. She became fluent in Vulcan and Klingon. She attended every Star Trek convention in the hopes of seeing her beloved and hoped for the chance to tell him of her undying love. She was President of every Spock Fan Club and showed up at every opportunity meet her idol. When she finally did meet him face to face, she told him of her adoration and her hope that he would boldly go where no man had gone before. The police involvement in removing her from his hotel room only served to strengthen her resolve that they might travel the universe together. TRO?...how could that block the course of true love? Illogical!

Etymology: Spock (Mr. Spock of Star Trek Fame..Spock is a character in the fictional Star Trek media franchise, from planet Vulcan...illogical) & Stalker (over enthusiastic fan, who stalks or sneaks about after their prey). PS...TRO (Temporary Restraining Order)
