Only From 4-99!! Smile & Red & FFO

 
 
I came to my home-pc-place and found.... (I took him to the kitchen for a better pic):


(You are allowed to "play" with him only from ages 4-99 it says here...)
I have more than one Spock-T-Shirt, so this was a wonderful surprise after another 10+ work-day! I was so knackered in fact, it took me a while to find Spock on the blue table!

Ingo sure had another idea than I leave it like that, of course!
(Too precious to use from my POV).
 
So... FREE MR. SPOCK!!!
 

 That thing in front?


Spock was child-safe, though, and Ingo had to use another tool.


Sadly his hand does not give the Vulcan Salute 🖖, so I left the arm as it was - otherwise he would look like Hit#er!
 
Double tricky as in... did you know Jewish Spock-actor Leonard Nimoy "based it on the Priestly Blessing performed by Jewish Kohanim with both hands, thumb to thumb in this same position, representing the Hebrew letter Shin", which stands for "Almighty (God)" - Also "U.S. President Barack Obama referenced the Vulcan salutation in his statement on Nimoy's death, calling it "the universal sign for 'Live long and prosper'".(Wiki).

He was some clever and "mighty" man, this Mr Spock Nimoy, don´t you think?
 
My work place is getting full, I re-organized, as I want Spock for some logic right there!

 
(The palm-"thingy" is a usb-humidifier for my eyes.)
 
This pressie gave me a HUGE SMILE, with which I join Annie´s Smiles.
 
And... how did Spock arrive here, anyways?
A chance to join Nicole´s FFO and also Erika´s Red:
 

 To all those with the red shirts... Stick to Scotty!!

Henry 🦁


To a happy Friday!

We've been watching a lot of Star Trek this winter. Lately we've been watching Discovery. Season 2 was the best because of Spock and Captain Pike (fyi-in case you don't know, the captain of the Enterprise before Kirk). So your Scotty drawing today and your little mini Spock are lots of fun to see.And perfect timing.Thank you again Iris. As always, it made me smile and is appreciated. Have a great start to the weekend. hugs-Erika

DVArtist said...

A fun gift. I love your drawing. It is so cold here today 18°F with the wind chill. Have a great day today and thank you for joining FFO.

Yes, it cooled down here, too. Let´s make the best of it!
Thank you for the FFO-idea and hosting!

Thank you, Bill, and dito :-)

CJ Kennedy said...

What a fun post. Yes, I knew Nimoy's reasoning for the Vulcan greeting. And another cool fact. Leonard Nimoy grew up in Boston. Have a good weekend and Live Long and Prosper 🖖🏼

RedPat said...

Ingo knows you well, Iris. Have a nice weekend. Relax.

RedPat... after all those years... heck. Don´t make me count how long he knows me! ... it´s no wonder 😉
Yet (25+ years???) he can still surprise me!

Iris Flavia said...

Chris, thank you and dito - to a great weekend! x

Felix the Crafty Cat said...

Hi Iris, going to be quick tonight as it's late. We've been out most of the day banking and then shopping and it's only now that I've found time to switch the laptop on. Great post today we are lovers of Spock and the gang. Wishing you a very happy weekend. Hugs, Angela xxx

River said...

I love your cute little Spock. He was always my favourite character too. why did he have a chain attached? Was it a key chain? I have a mini Yoda (StarWars)on my keychain.

Iris Flavia said...

Angela, thank you for stopping by despite the - hopefully fun! - stress :-)
LLAP 🖖

____

River, yes a key chain, but way too precious for that use, that´s why Ingo ripped that off :-)
Oh, Star Wars I think I´m "in the middle" - too young for the original, too old for the new one!
We saw one in Broome in 99. All Pepsi bottles hat that Jar-Jar Binks-figure on. Booooy, was I bored by that movie! 😉
Reckon it´s like with Vegemite - grow up with it or you don´t like it!
But I see many a meme of him on FB!

Lisca said...

What a great gift! My late husband was a bit of a 'Trekkie'. So I have seen all the films and episodes. I didn't know about the Vulcan salute so thanks for that info.
Have a lovely weekend,(Or should I say: Live Long and Prosper)
hugs,
Lisca

Iris Flavia said...

Lisca, yes, LLAP, too! I wish you a great weekend with friends and church and all! Good memories 🖖
