Besides Star Trek, I loved the show that he narrated, In Search Of. Thanks for the memories.







Oh yeah,


Not only is his son a Cal alum... he makes a Top 100 list in the tribe.

Zachary Quinto vs. Leonard Nimoy: "The Challenge"

[Mikey]

The most iconic character of our time.

Epic fail on the thread subject, though.

Epic fail on the thread subject, though.

Nimoy wrote two books about his life. One titled "I Am Not Spock" and a later book titled "I Am Spock." In the 2nd book Nimoy explained the title as being his way of indicating he had accepted being identified as Spock by Trek fans and begun to embrace his work on Star Trek. So Spock it was.

Though I did think about going with the classic "He's dead Jim."

[Roger_the_Shrubber]

He did indeed live long and prospered.

[Mikey]

"He's dead Jim."

'swhat I'm tawkin aboud.

[Goober McTuber]

Didn't see this one coming.

No shit. He was only 83.

[smackaholic]

Not working a bones reset into the thread title is grounds for banning.

[Bucmonkey]

Sheldon will be upset...

You should have died years ago...

Would have made your life a lot less painful.

So besides the pointy-eared Vulcan, who'd do Uhuru? (count me in :)

There was this strange nerdy dude in highs school who was infatuated with Spock. He was a pretty good size dude who would roll around putting that "Spock sleeper grip" on people and watched them writhe in pain, while he is hissing " Spock got your asssss".

He set up in the wrong position one day when he did that to a substantially smaller kid, who managed to put a full closed fist backhand right square in the nuts to this dude. Dude doubled over grabbing for his nuts and this other kid just proceeded to beat the fuck out of him. Just kept pounding on him, screaming "This is for me and all the other guys you did this you Vulcan ass Spock mother fucker". Beat dude up good, faced swelled up like a melon. The little guy was the fucking school hero for the next week, the Spock imposter never fucked with him or any one else again.

Rack that memory, that was 40 years ago.

[BSmack]

Is that better?

[Mikey]

Much better. Thanks.

I'm gonna throw the bullshit flag on this steaming pile right here.

So um, is it too late to say Spock's dead Jim?

Yes?

Well fuck it, I'm dead too, give me a break. Being fershnikit on Saurian Brandy doesn't help.

I wonder if Leonard aka Spock knew how to play the ultimate game of logic, chess? My guess is he was good at it. I'd love to have sat across the table from him. There is no luck involved, no random outcome. Just cold, unemotional calculation

RIP Mr. Nimoy

He'd have kicked your ass.

RIP Mr. Nimoy

Nimoy was an avid chess player and liked to play for relaxation. He talked about it in a 1967 article where he interviewed himself, using the Mr. Spock persona to do the interview. I can link up the interview if you're curious.

[BSmack]

I used to have this poster in my dorm room. At the time it was ironic. Now, after 5 years as a non smoker, and seeing plenty of ex-smokers, including Mr. Nimoy, felled by smoking related illnesses I find it very poignant.

[mvscal]

What's poignant about it? He was 83 fucking years old.

Pretty poignant that Tubby didn't even see it coming.

Most likely, but if we played 10 games I could probably steal 2-3 and maybe a stalemate. A chess player always wants to play someone more advanced so they can learn and get better.

They want to pass out a few lessons as well. I've played thousands of games in my lifetime and won more than I've lost.

I was taught how to play in the 5th grade by a one armed Spanish nun, Sister Mary Lila, who ran a chess club after school for those interested. I will forever be indebted to and grateful for that gentle and patient woman.

Link it up then, Jay.

'Fascinating', I'm sure, as is the game itself.

Relaxing, as long as you're not using a timer. Whenever my brother and I can get together for a best of 3, clear the room of women and children, this is going to take a few hours.

The dogs can stay.

Here you go Wags. It's a little long and old, but still a good read.

Harve Bennett, who produced 4 of the Star Trek movies, died yesterday.

Shatner & Nichols must be getting a bit nervous...

Is that what you do at work?

Tucked away in some remote corner of the warehouse -----> you've got a chess board set up?

You and the other warehouse slaps get your brainiac on?
