Leonard Nimoy Retires From Star Trek
DesScorp writes "Leonard Nimoy is hanging up his Vulcan ears for good and retiring from the role of Spock in the Star Trek franchise, reports the Daily Mail. Nimoy apparently wants to pass the torch: 'Nimoy, one of the most recognizable and best loved characters from the sci-fi series that began in 1966, announced that he wanted to "get off the stage" and give young actor Zachary Quinto a clear run at the role he took over for last year's Star Trek movie.' Nimoy, at age 79, appears to be retiring from acting, period. He has, in recent years, undertaken another career in photography, as well as other pursuits, but seems to be preparing to retire from the public eye altogether."
And here I was hoping I would hear him sing Bilbo Baggins one more time.
Let's hope he does not perform the "Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" again. Once was barely forgiveable.

...you shall be retired.
Let's hope Shatner follows his lead. I'd really like to miss him.
And may the Force be with you..
For justice, we must go to Don Corleone
I hate you.
Shatner needs to do a spoken word version of Lenard Nimoy's "Ballad of Bilbo Baggins".
The mind boggles. The stomach retches. The spirit withers.

Fascinating.
The solution to your problem is simple: do all three. Go up to the mountains with your girlfriend, tell your friend to meet you there. Find a coffee shop you and your girlfriend can hang out at and sit there with her for a few minutes. Then, tell her you're having some gastrointestinal distress from some bad shrimp you ate the night before, and excuse yourself. Run up to the slopes, and snowboard down the mountain with your friend, then hop in the car and burn rubber down to wherever Nimoy is hanging out. Hang out there for a few minutes, then book it back to the coffee shop, sneak in the back way, into the bathroom, flush a few times, and go back and sit down with your girlfriend. After a minute or two, repeat the whole process.
If Three's Company has taught me anything, this should work at least until the second commercial break.
Heh. I just presented your dilemma to my girlfriend. She said "Well, I'd leave you for a chance to meet Leonard Nimoy."
Your mileage may vary, of course...
There's a 68.71% chance you're right.
Shatner + gaping holes = DO NOT WANT
Try not to take me more seriously than I take myself.
If I had money I'd hire you as my personal advisor and assistant. The Alfred to my Batman.
(yeah if I had money I'd also be a superhero.)
