@TinseltownTwins For sure - love that movie!👍👍

[OrangeMike44 @OrangeMike44]

@TinseltownTwins "Houdini" (1953) The ending shows an incorrect urban legend of how Houdini died, but otherwise it's still a good movie. Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh - you can't go wrong!

@RecycleGrrl Yep, that started their sauce history. P.S. I can't stand horseradish!

…and ice cream are often cited as being craved during pregnancy. Pregnancy is not unfamiliar to Trek fans, just ask Trip Tucker in ENT’s whimsical & weird episode “Unexpected”. Here are Trip and three other Trek characters experiencing parenthood among the stars. Bye all!

…death on March 28, 1969 pre-empted the last original TOS episode “Turnabout Intruder”. “Turnabout is fair play” originated in 1755, initially as two words - “turn about” - meaning to take turns in a game. Game Theory, the mathematical study of strategy, has its roots…

@ApolloSerenus I considered her for a TNG reference, but I love the scene where Worf helps Keiko deliver the baby, so I went with that one. 👍😀🖖

@MovieMtRushmore "The Verdict" (1982) Paul Newman, Charlotte Rampling, Jack Warden, James Mason. This was an Oscar-worthy performance for Newman, but he lost to Henry Fonda in "On Golden Pond". Great performances by the whole cast and one of my all-time favorite movies. 👍👍 @TimeForAFilm

While I was working the other day, I met a very nice woman who loved to talk about...everything. 😀Somewhere along the way she brought up "Star Track". I haven't heard that mispronunciation in a long time but, wow!, nails on a chalkboard.

@JulieAnn718 Working regular hours now and catching up. So sorry to hear about Ember, Julie-Ann. All the pictures are so nice, especially with your daughter. 🧡🧡

@TopherTreks In the great Trek novels by @dduane ("My Enemy, My Ally" is my favorite), she introduced Harb Tanzer, Chief of Recreation (forgive me if I have his rank wrong). His job was to ensure the crew had a variety of activities to keep both mind and body healthy. I'd want his job! 🖖

[OrangeMike44 @OrangeMike44]

@mousdrvr @romano__dan No, we covered it at the time, no worries. The older tweets recurring for no apparent reason happens to me fairly often, too. No idea why. Take care! 😀👍

New Zealand was the location of the Federation Penal Settlement where we first met Tom Paris in VOY’s “Caretaker” pilot. Imprisoned Star Fleet officers is a recurring theme across all Trek series. Here’s Tom and more Trek characters who found themselves Shawshanked. Bye all!
