I´m With Bill!

 
The door-mat to our living room where I have my private PC and my work-place.
Ingo´s wish, the mat.
 
I am more... 
 
 
Those are Elmo´s socks, knitted by Ingo´s late Grandma... soon it´s time for them to be put on! And think of her.... she was a very sweet lady.

 See... Ingo is a fair man. He went with me to EVERY second hand book shop throughout Australia and... tadaaa:
 

 James Blish, all 12 books! From the 1960´s! And more!
 

 What we had to drink in 1999?
 
 
Drove me nuts! And despite I went to watch the darn movie with Ingo!
Seldom I can say that: I am too young, I was a kiddo when the movie was a hype and then too old to get it! 
 

 Well. We are Germans... Also I prefer this:
 

Maybe a story to come, but the title?
 
Yes, I´m with Bill! Please turn on the sound - it´s FUNNY!!!! BIG THANKS to Ingo who pointed me to this!!! In the unlike event you are not familiar: William Shatner (Bill) played Captain James T Kirk on the starship Enterprise. And note the tear in George Lukas´ eye, awww...
And the reference to Gene (Rodenberry)... 🥰🥰🥰🥰
 

 

LLAP!!!! (Live Long And Prosper)

He HAD to end with that!!! LOL.
Ingo´s Dad once asked what Ingo´s fav song was. Here it goes:
 

 

 The internet series:

 Highway to Hell: Spooky Stories from Route 66

 

The grave of Billy Cook
 
Billy Cook Jr., a native of Joplin, Missouri, embarked on a terror-filled spree along Route 66 in 1950. After murdering six people and a dog, Cook was arrested and quickly executed in California. His body was returned to his hometown of Joplin for burial.

Unfortunately, Cook was also an outcast in his hometown, and the local church only agreed to bury his body if his grave remained unmarked. This fact seems to anger Cook, and locals say he can be seen standing at the edge of the church grounds (not pictured), fuming with rage."
 
The countdown to Creep: 
 

 Kinda obvious...
 

 
 

Ho, boy, even the creeps are afraid, it seems - weird times...

Henry 🦁 


 AI didn´t want to go "my way"!

I can't believe William Shatner is like 94 and still working and out and about. I hope I can be like that, well having fun and being out and about at 94. Have a supper rest of your weekend Iris. hugs-Erika

Tom said...

...Iris, you constantly amaze me with your knowledge of popular culture!!!

Granny Sue said...

Great post, Iris! I liked that last story. Creepy indeed.

RedPat said...

I never really got into Star Trek although I did watch some of the tv shows.

Jeanie said...

I love your door mat! What a suitable Henry.

Love that Frank Sinatra song and as Jeanie said, 'what a suitable Henry'

All the best Jan

Bill Shatner at AFI was fun. You should see if you can find a documentary called something like William Shatner invented everything. The show goes through all the gadgets and things on Star Trek that became our reality. Communicators = cellphones, etc. It was great and funny, too.

Dear friend Iris, 🧡 I love the main crew. Thank you so much 😊 for sharing. Warm hugs 🫂 🤗 and much love to you.

Iris Flavia said...

Kathy, glad you liked it, hugs

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, wonderful and I just love his fine, clever humor! To Star.. umm, well, you know, hugs and to a great new week!

Iris Flavia said...

This one goes to Ingo, Tom!

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, Sue, I don´t want to meet anyone dead or alive fuming with rage!

Iris Flavia said...

RedPat, I love how it is NOT about war but about exploring. About beings, colors do not matter, nor where you come from.

Iris Flavia said...

Ingo´s. Ingo´s door mat. I´m really not into Star Wars ;-)

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, let´s do it our way, this life!

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, I´ll search for it - so far I´m still at the Star Trek Physics book - but this sounds very cool too!

Iris Flavia said...

Dear friend Linda, yes, they were so cool - and some still are! 🥰 Warm hugs and much love sent over to you 🧡

River said...

That was very nice from William Shatner and the dancing Storm Troopers.
I never liked Frank Sinatra.

Iris Flavia said...

I love their humor :-) Well, it is Ingo´s way...

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

I'm not sure you would see my post for last week's T Tuesday, so I wanted to thank you for the fun calendar pages and your Dr. Pepper.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, dear Elizabeth!
