ROFL!

See, I can't even remember who was my first crush. Probably something embarassing like David Cassidy or Donny Osmond.
Although my mum swears I was in love with "Roger-Dodger Miller" when I was a tot and could sing all his songs from the radio.

It sometimes disturbs me that these are the things I remember. I can't even remember the last name of people I worked for or dated and when that was exactly.

Captain Kirk was my first crush. I was so disappointed that he wasn't a real person and didn't count. I left him for Barry Gibb.

I think you're right, it's been too long.

It's so weird to look at William Shatner today and remember his younger days.
My English BFF and I used to eat cereal and watch Star Trek before going to bed... yes, original Star Trek. what a phenomenon that show turned out to be.

Oh. I'm right with you. I always think of Montalban as Khan.

"Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!" :)

I was weaned on original ST. My parents were Trekkies. I think that when he played Khan in the original series he was genuinely ripped. The fake chest in the movie was hilarious. I'm sure it was the second ST movie though. ST4 is the one about saving the whales. That's the one where Kirk said...

"No Ma'am. No dispshit."

My favorite Kirk line next to...

"Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!"

I'm more of a dork, I remember Montalban the most for his funny fake chest on ST4: The Wrath of Khan. He was a most awesome Khan.

There is a very good reason why critics are critics. :)

Wyeth's work was fantastic. More evidence that the critics don't have a clue. :/

An advantage of being non-competitive is that nothing I involve myself in has a winner or loser. I find it more fun to brainstorm with others than to play to win.

You are so good at this. If it was a parlor game, you would win.

I just thought of another layer to the synchronicities. Many of Andrew Wyeth's famous paintings were done on Islands (in Maine). The village in The Prisoner was on an island if I recall. And of course, Fantasy Island.
