I met Leonard Nimoy at a Star Trek convention while in college. I was producing (luckily for us all, not conducting) an interview with him and I didn't want it to be the same series of boring questions the poor guy undoubtedly got asked every interview. While wandering the convention floor, I happened upon a vendor selling mugs in the shape of the various Trek cast members. I talked him into giving me a Spock mug. During the interview, we presented Nimoy with the mug and asked him what beverage we should drink out of his head (hey, it was a question I gauranteed he'd never been asked before). Without hesitation, he replied, "eggnog."
Zach Quinto is doing a good job in the new Star Trek movie, but Leonard Nimoy is my Spock. He also made impossible missions possible, and he made a terrific bad guy for Columbo to catch. I'd like to believe James Doohan and Deforest Kelley were waiting at the gates of heaven with smiles and exotic blue alcohol banned in this region of space.
