  Does anyone remember the homage to the green girl in the Star Trek big screen prequel? The young Kirk’s romantic tastes had developed in Star Fleet school.

  If I had to guess, I’d say Leonard Nimoy is a baritone, so that’s probably a high A-flat he’s hitting in that photo.

  Kirk just needs to stop leaving the sliding door closed. Vulcans, like birds, don’t see clear glass until it’s too late.

  The orion slave girl skin color story cracks me up every time.

    I had to look this up, and it was hilarious:

    Before being used in filming “The Cage,” Vina’s green make-up was screen-tested by Majel Barrett. However, when doing tests of the make-up, the film came back three times without the green skin being visible. Angered at this, Fred Phillips had his makeup crew repeatedly paint Majel Barrett with darker shades of paint, hoping it would become visible on screen. It was eventually discovered that the film processing lab had been recolorizing her because they were unaware that she was meant to be green.

  I remember a black comedian on SNL in the late 70′s saying “Hey Kirk! If the woman is green, the pu$$y ain’t no good!”
