Live Long, And Prosper

[mr blur]

from an article on Star Trek:

• Nimoy had to have his eyebrows shaved to make way for Spock's - which were made of yak's hair and glued on. He also once had a severe attack of toothache on-set and went to the dentist in full Spock gear. Much more recently, Nimoy let slip that Barack Obama gave him the Vulcan greeting gesture when the two met last year.

Truly, His influence is everywhere.

3. If it weren't for that terrible show he hosted

he would be %100 awesome

5. You mean "In Search Of?"

I obviously wasn't as much of a skeptic all my life as I am now, because when that show first aired on television, when I was in my early teens I think, I ate it up. I didn't necessarily believed it was all true back then, but I certainly gave a lot of that BS a whole lot more credence than it deserved.

I wonder now how much Nimoy bought into the subject matter of the show. Is he that much of a woo himself, or was it just a matter of a paycheck?

Of course, far worse than "In Search Of", is the dread Ballad of Bilbo Baggins! :wow: :puke:

6. yeah

I got the impression that it was pretty much a paycheck :shrug:

I still love the guy, I just loathe that show

4. I went out to dinner with Leonard

many years ago and he was a true gentleman and the group of us had a ball with him.

After dinner we took him to a disco!
