* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Two entries detail other fictional characters time-traveling to the Bastard's contemporary time period and interacting with him. The first time is SherlockHolmes and Dr. Watson, and Holmes turns out to be as much of a bastard as the BOFH. The second time is the [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries crew of the original Enterprise]], who beam the Bastard aboard to help fix their computer, and he ends up blowing them up when a meteor shower hits (the Bastard himself thinks he's [[AllJustADream dreaming]] this one).
