I know that we should not make light of his passing, but I cannot help wondering if he died on the day a new Greek government took office, purely for tax reasons.

Leonard Nimoy - dead at 83.

classicman · 02-27-2015, 12:11 PM

Bummer - He was definitely one of my favs...

sexobon · 02-27-2015, 12:41 PM

One of my faves too, he LLAP'd.

While best known for the emotionless character Mr. Spock, his facial expressions alone could be quite entertaining as in this largely forgotten music video ...

The voyage has been better with him. RIPAD (rest in peace and dance).

Leonard Nimoy was an icon. He created a character that actually changed how people looked at emotion versus intellect. Spock is perhaps THE single most manifest Sci Fi character ever created, and he wouldn't have been who he was with Nimoy.

LLAP'd - Lived Long And Prospered

Man, I had to work on that for a minute.

DanaC · 02-27-2015, 01:23 PM

Aww that's so sad, though he had a good innings, as they say.

I've read Nimoy's explanation of how he suggested the Vulcan salute, but his five minute long version here is wonderful to view on this day.

ETA: found the video outside of WaPo's article:

Just got a chance to watch that. I really liked it.
Came across this one too, which is also pretty good.

Did I ever tell you about that dream I had where I was having some sort of group sex.... And Leonard Nimoy was there... I can't remember now if it was with jinx, or..... I just remember the floor was very shiny grey painted concrete, and there were puddles of water everywhere.

There was no actual sex, but you know. It was pretty weird. Mr Spock, for fux ache.

NASA salutes 'Star Trek' icon Leonard Nimoy

Nimoy ... was honored by the agency in an ethereal photo of the bright blue earth captured by NASA astronaut Terry Virts aboard the International Space Station: ... NASA notes that Nimoy's hometown of Boston, Mass., is visible in the photo.

President Obama joined other "Star Trek" fans and several lawmakers Friday mourning the actor's death, saying in a statement that "long before being nerdy was cool, there was Leonard Nimoy."

"Cool, logical, big-eared and level-headed, the center of Star Trek’s optimistic, inclusive vision of humanity’s future," Obama said. "I love Spock."

There's a local ice cream shop that's been in town for years, run by second or third generation family, not sure. Back when I was in my early 20s the thing was that we knew spring was here because this ice cream place was open for the season. Well, they keep opening earlier and earlier it seems. I know the guy, Dave, and he's cool, used to have parties where he'd take the slushie machine to his house and have gin slushies. I went by there today and it was open so I had to read the sign. He has one of those plastic letter signs and it runs the gamut of serious to funny. Today it read "Live Long and Prosper. RIP Spock." I thought that was pretty cool, and SO Dave.
