Where would we be without this Canadian icon?
"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

"When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman." — Abraham Lincoln.

"I have enjoyed very warm relations with my two husbands."
"With your eyes closed?"
"That helped."  Lauren Bacall

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

Reminds me that I've got to dig that cd up; it and Pink Floyd's Umaguma, and some my more esoteric psychedelic tuff should shut down Mr.Top 40/Bro-Country near me quite nicely.

Then we'll have Black Metal Thursday and NIN Friday for the kill.   >:D

14/15. I did make a few guesses and I got the question about how many Enterprise models were used to film TOS wrong.

11 Out of 15. Only qualifies for Minor Nerd-dom.

Does anyone remember an early competitor of Saturday Night Live named Friday?  One of the cast was Cosmo Kramer from Seinfeld.
One show Shat was the guest host and they opened the show with him walking around a building, looking like a tourist.  He suddenly pulled out a communicator and talked to Spock asking when the transporter would be fixed.
Then a bunch of fans ran up, "Bill, Bill, they're waiting for you."  And take a confused Captain Kirk in to stand in for a missing William Shatner.
It was a great skit, poking fun at Trek and at himself.  Once Friday went off the air, have never seen the clip again.  It was very funny.
