PEACE THE GEORDI LAFORGE OUT
James Montgomery Doohan
1920-2005It was a lil less than a year ago when
Trekkies losers and deckmates, including
Wesley Sucker,
paid tribute to Scotty, cause he was making his very last public appearance. It was also around that time when Mr Scott finally received his long overdue star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. What a great set of honors to give the jolly old man before he czeched out on us for good. We may not be able to beam him back to life, but future generations and the next generation will always be able treasure the treasures he left behind. Sure, I aint no Trekhead, but the man meant something to me. I mean he was missing a middle finger AND initially devised the Klingon AND Vulcan languages!! And when I think of the Do-man, two things qwikly spring to mind.
The first is when he appeared in
episode 3 of The Ben Stiller Show. Stiller begins to fantasize what life would be like if him and Jimmy were best friends. There's a franztastic montage of them cooking lobsters, painting USS Enterprise and Klingon ship models (which Jimmy smashes with his fist), Jimmy cooking Ben and his girl dinner and then beaming himself into Ben's place during his date, and finally J-Do handing over his beloveded red uni to Ben as a gift. If you haven't seen it, it's worth renting/owning
the DVD
.
The second is the clizzasic scene from my personal flavorite
Trek flick, #4, where they Voyage home and take a lil too much 'LDS'.
[faced with a 20th century computer]
Scotty: Computer. Computer?
[Bones hands him a mouse and he speaks into it]
Scotty: Hello, computer.
Dr. Nichols: Just use the keyboard.
Scotty: Keyboard. How quaint.
Whilst you
d-lode this crappy rendition of The Crystals 'Da Doo Ron Ron' in honor of J Doo Han Han Han Han, lettuce not forget to bid
Dame Diana Rigg a shlappy 67th b-day. For back in the day, I would've love to lay the BrEaSTest Mrs Peel, who was so dang aPEELing, and
the only woman good enuff to be the sole wife of James Bond...
