LLAP.
Sad to see him pass on. I never knew he directed Three Men and a Baby.
Such an iconic character he molded into our lives.
My Dad started me on my love for Star Trek when I was very young. He was a big fan of Spock.
On a side note it is going to be interesting to see how Big Bang Theory touches this subject with Sheldon.Bob- I'm not exactly sure it would ROCK as you say it Byron.. it may be cool, by typical text book descriptions. Your opinion of this is shallow and poorly constructed, but allow me to re-craft your initial thought into something tangable. -
His last tweet from earlier this week ...
It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.Comment

Can't we just shoot him into space and he'll come back alive?Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?Comment

About a dozen years ago, I had a chance meeting. I was in a bookstore in Louisiana, looking for fantasy baseball material. The kids were in the store with me, and I was wandering up and down the aisles, looking at the shelves. I looked over at the gentleman standing next to me, and it was Leonard Nimoy. I knew it was him, but my mind wouldn't accept the fact that he was standing in a bookstore in Shreveport, Louisiana.
I said hello and introduced myself. I asked if I could shake his hand. He was very cordial. I told him he was one of the true iconic figures of my generation, which seemed to amuse him. I said that if he didn't mind telling me, what was he doing there. He had a signing scheduled for a book of photography he had done, and he had gotten there early so he could just look around. I asked if my kids could meet him, and he said sure, and asked if I wanted pictures. So I have pics of my kids with Leonard Nimoy. I told them, especially Robert, that one day it would mean a lot to him.
I bought one of the photograph books, which he autographed. I felt I owed him that after he was so nice. One degree of Shatner!Comment

He was great as Paris, master of disguise, in the Mission: Impossible series as well"You know what's wrong with America?

Fascinating.........If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

"it was Leonard Nimoy. I knew it was him, but my mind wouldn't accept the fact that he was standing in a bookstore in Shreveport, Louisiana."
I have told the opposite story here from the 1980s, where my Loyola of New Orleans college pal from my local neighborhood crew brought his Mississippi roommate to NYC. He was amazed at how much the guy at the other table looked like Robin Williams. We had to explain that, uh, it's Manhattan, so yes (never clear why he would be eating in a tourist trap like Hard Rock, though).

Scotty (who died in 2005) must have beamed him up. I was surprised to find out that the original TV show was only on for three seasons. It seemed like there were about ten years worth of episodes. I enjoyed the Spock story Lucky. Thanks for sharing that. RIP Leonard Nimoy.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
