In honor of Mother's day, an email from Mom

So last night I received this email from my mother, subject: "Star Trek."

Laura,
Hope you're doing something fun tonight, but if you're home there is something about Star Trek on the History Channel. It's about Christie's Auction House getting ready for an auction of Star Trek stuff. They looked at episodes and matched up the costumes and props etc. You would like it! MOM

I'm glad my mother has accepted me as the nerd that I am. Also, the Star Trek movie was incredible. Live long and prosper.

Shatner Snubbed in Sulu Nuptials

William Shatner is welcome at my gay wedding, as long as he brings his equally famous hairpiece and Patrick Stewart along with him. 

Shatner responded to the accusations that he didn't come after being invited, saying they were preposterous as he would fly to the wedding and find cheap accommodations using priceline.com, where he could name his own price.

Kirk vs. God

I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark and say that most of you haven't seen Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (aka the movie where Kirk and company hunt down God, find him, and then Kirk kicks his ass.) Here's a clip from the infamous scene where Kirk lays the smackdown on the Creator of the Universe.

When God instructs Kirk to give him the Enterprise so that he can spread the good word to the galaxy... Kirk has just one thing to say about that:

Oh snap! God, your face called.. soccer practice is over and you need TAH PICK IT UP!
