“KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!”

Cool. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it actaully—even though its the movie I’ve probably rewatched more times than any other.

I was just going through my copy of this movie (to forestall any last minute “surprises”), and…

…It’s depressing how many people in it are dead:

DeForest Kelley
James Doohan
Bibi Besch
Merritt Butrick
Paul Winfield
Ricardo Montalban

…and those are just the ones that I knew without looking them up. :frowning:

David’s dead too? :frowning: when did that happen?

Merritt died shortly after appearing on TNG. He died in 1989 at the age of 29. So sad andtragic. When I first heard about it, I was told it was drug addiction that killed him. Recently I heard it was AIDS.

Permission to come aboard?

Granted. You old space dog.

Crap – woofing down my dinner so I can run downstairs and participate. If I miss the start can one of you cue me up once I’m there?

(Running to get out movie.)

Whoa. Too much shore leave. I’ll be in the Jeffries Tube.

What works for you, Chuck—10:15? Or later —we can wait. We kinda think you’re a good guy and stuff.

We usually start around :15 after the hour. So you got time.

Re: Jeffries Tube: Since you know my first name TG, you can imagine the jokes that used to get aimed my way as young Trekkiie.

Yes. Yes I can.

One time, someone had purchased a fridge and left the box on the curb. The neighborhood kids all gathered around and made it a fort. Then I showed up. It was christened the Enterprise. I grabbed a long cylinder shaped cardboard and dubbed it the Jeffries tube.

We should we wait for Chuck? I mean, he’s only a 1600 post OG. We only wait for serious GWC people. Chuck’s a lightweight. :wink:

Have you been up Jeffries tube?

Good times, I’m sure.

Christ, if you and were neighbors growing up, we’d be fightin’ over that starship…ah…I mean fridge.

I don’t know. He can part the mall seas. Might be wise to wait.

Wow, haven’t even started the movie yet and already in da gutter.
