nullPointer Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Dudes ... I was actually having a pretty great day (TGIF!), but this sort of took the wind out of my sails. Leonard Nimoy who was best known for his role as Spock in the original Star Trek series (1966–69) has passed away today at the age of 83. "I have been, and always shall be, your friend. Live long, and prosper."~ Spock's last words - Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)Leonard Nimoy, Spock of ‘Star Trek,’ Dies at 83 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I know.. I can't believe it. I heard he went to the hospital earlier this week. I didn't know they sent him home to die. Very sad. They're saying it was COPD from smoking, but he quit like 30 years ago. Let that be a lesson to you guys, quit while you're ahead! He was a great actor, good spirited, good heart. I hate hearing when another of my Enterprise crew passes away. First it was Deforest Kelly, then it was James Doohan. Who's gonna be next?

DazzleHP Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Aged 83 - He had a long and prosperous life Not to mention the many roles he had in recent times, trying to break the "Spock" chain. He will be remembered as an artist. A truly great actor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 My wife and I are both avid Trekkers and extremely saddened to learn of Nimoy's passing.@Leonard. I had hoped to meet you one day. LLAP in the alternate universe where all are at peace with themselves and one another. You will be missed here and perhaps we will meet when it is my time to "boldly go."

tthurman Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Took today off since my folks are in town, and saw this sad news earlier today To say he is a icon of the sci-fi world would be a horrible understatement!RIP Mr. Spock!

hansolo77 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Shatner drains his blood every night and fills his arteries with liquid nitrogen, thus freezing his body. When a new day dawns, the process is reversed, after a long night of blood purification and filtering. In fact, every day he is awake, his blood is cleaner than the day before. He'll never die! MUWAAHHAH!!Actually, I like Shatner. He's really cool in his old age, unlike other people I know of similar age. He has a sense of humor and pokes fun at himself. I think the next to go will probably be Nichelle Nichols (only 1 year younger than Leonard Nimoy was). Unless some serious health matter arises, in which case it will probably be Walter Koenig. On the other hand, George Takei could have some kinda rough gay anal sex with a guy who has HIV or something, and cut his life short real quick. But I joke, I hope nothing bad happens to anybody.

Adultery Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Takei is married to his partner, so random anal is probably out.He's on Howard from time to time and seems healthy, probably my fave. I share his dislike for Shatner. I've heard some pretty rough stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Shatner, at least when it comes to working with co-workers, is a diva. As a person, I have never met the man, but hear that he is personable. In the corporate world, you run into those that are a good bloke outside the office and whatever fiefdom they have built, but do anything that is seen as a threat to that and deal with a total asshat.
