Orfew, do you have a Spock 5 to go with your autograph?

 

@rrdenarius
Nice note. I have seen them before but I do not have a "Spocked" fiver.

 

This was the original fun way of doin' it ...

=> a pen and a boring math-class ...

 

Ah, now you are making me remember the Dr. Demento Show on radio... a skit: STAR DREK featuring Captain Jerk, Mr. Schlock, Engineer Snotty, Communications Officer Lulu and so on... on the Starship Boobyprize...

 

Another cool Trek pic that fits with the thread

 

Great picture, Carthago! Two of my favorites from my highly cultured childhood were Star Trek and MAD Magazine. My family owned a restaurant and Leonard Nimoy (Spock) came in to eat once. My Dad called me and put Nimoy on the phone with me. We talked for 20 seconds, and I walked on air for a week! This was in the mid-1970s and I was 11 years old.

 

That is so freaking awesome, Carausius! What a great memory!

We're soul brothers with this, my friend. I've still got my blue Star Trek jacket from the mid 1970's when I was about the same age as you. It looks like this. I was the gnat's ass in grade school.

 

Is there also a book called Lord of the coins? )

 

Yep, and a movie

 

great !! fantastic, I search of the true coin )

 

@Carthago and @Carausius : So, you guys were probably too young to remember the ORIGINAL Star Trek series when it was still airing for the first time... I was 6 during the last season, and was allowed to stay up late for the late Friday night time slot (I think it showed at 10 in it's last season). Hooked then, hooked forever. Loved the show; watched the cartoon series; bought and read the novelizations (assiduously; the reruns didn't start in my area until 75 or 76); even had one of those "Blue Prints of the Enterprise)" that came out in the mid-70s... sigh. Days of wonderment and fun...

 

Watched it EVERY Friday nite... Home-made Pizza and Coca-Cola... b. in 1959, so we were in the throes of Gemini, then Apollo programs. Space was big then!

 

PS My first-ever official date was to see Star Wars Episode IV, on the third day of its showing. That was the first and last date with that particular young lady (although we are still friends to this day), but not my last with SW: saw it a total of 12 times the first summer it was out (at $3.35 a pop, which wasn't chump change in 1977). I guess Tolkien, Star Trek, Star Wars, etc., all go together somehow (although we could easily argue their relative merits and staying power).

 

Excellent! The uncle I lived with at the time worked for Rocketdyne (sp?) near Sacramento as an electrician on the Apollo engines. He brought home some official rocket models for me and my cousin (his son). We even got to see the astronauts of the 11 when it came through town (along with the capsule with its burnt up rear end and all). Good times! (and, with Star Trek, the future looked bright and enlightened).

 

LOL, twas not my first date, but I remember driving out of the parking lot like I was flying a Tie-Fighter! She was freaked...

 

Haha! Given that attraction to the dark side, I am surprised your avatar isn't Saruman....

 

LOL, Avatar is because @stevex6 kept calling me AleganDALF... But, for years at work, I was always called Obi-Won...
