Damn... guess "Live long and prosper" won't quite mean the same again.

Damn... guess "Live long and prosper" won't quite mean the same again. He made it to 83, that's pretty long. And he "prospered" fairly well too. The ultimate "Straight Man" in Spock too.

Damn... guess "Live long and prosper" won't quite mean the same again. He made it to 83, that's pretty long. And he "prospered" fairly well too. The ultimate "Straight Man" in Spock too. The perfect counter to Kirk's outlandish emotionalism. For sure! I was a big fan of the Star Trek movies. Not really a Trekkie that goes to conventions wearing costumes and shit, just enjoyed watching the movies. Going to quote Kirk's eulogy from Wrath of Khan: "We are assembled here today to pay final respects to our honored dead. And yet it should be noted that in the midst of our sorrow, this death takes place in the shadow of new life, the sunrise of a new world; a world that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect and nourish. He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or empty one, and we will not debate his profound wisdom at these proceedings. Of my friend, I can only say this: of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human.""Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #6 February 27, 2015 It's weird that I associate him most with In Search Of. I used to love that show and while I knew he was Spock in Star Trek I viewed him as the guy from In Search Of. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to love that show and while I knew he was Spock in Star Trek I viewed him as the guy from In Search Of. You aren't the only one. I heard on the radio the other day (NPR?) someone asked him about the reaction to the records he made. His version of Proud Mary is not the best. He said something like: Critics, who cares what they say? They don't buy anything. (not in quotes because I'm not sure I've got it right) And there's apparently a billboard in Atlanta that has a picture of Spock doing the Vulcan salute and the words "He Did" on it. There's a few pics on FB. Can't find it anywhere else. FB Linky"There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."
