\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Ack! I am ashamed to admit that I’ve been remiss in my fanboyish duties: I forgot to observe The Shat’s seventy-seventh birthday on Saturday!<\/p>\n

Luckily, E.E. Knight was on the ball; to honor the One True Kirk, he posted up a photographic tribute to the lovely ladies<\/a> of the original Star Trek<\/i>. I could be a little nitpicky with some of these choices — several of these ladies were Spock’s, Scotty’s, or even Chekov’s love interests, not the captain’s, and some of them were simply there<\/i> on the show and not any kind of love interest at all — but that would be churlish. It’s a fun entry with some nice eye candy (well, it’s nice if you like 60s-style women, which, as it happens, I do).<\/p>\n

Each lady gets her own poll question — the adolescent and somewhat misogynistic “would you hit it?” — but many of the answer options are funny, especially the bizarrely meta-textual ones. (My favorite is the first option for Elinor Donahue: “I’d hit it until Robert Young told me to stop hitting it for medical reasons. Then I’d ignore him because he only plays a doctor on TV.” You see, Elinor played Robert Young’s daughter on Father Knows Best<\/i>, and Young played the title character in Marcus Welby, M.D.<\/i>, so that one’s funny on something like six different levels. At least I think so. But then I really am a geek…)<\/p>\n

Anyhow, click on over to Knight’s tribute<\/a>, and join me in wishing Bill a belated happy birthday. Let’s hope there are many more to come!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
