Leonard Nimoy using the Vulcan nerve pinch on his grandson
Not a meme, but I thought it was sweet.
"Nah nah nah, you got it all wrong! It's higher up, where the shoulder meets the neck."
Like this?
Yeah, that's it! (Drops)
Man, imagine being Leonard Nemoy's grandson!!
When I was young - between ages five and seven; I don't remember the exact timeframe - I went on a school field trip to a nearby planetarium. It was the first time I'd ever been to one and I have a few formative memories from the experience, but they're all lacking in detail.
One of those memories is of Leonard Nimoy being present. At the time, I don't think I'd even heard of Star Trek and I certainly hadn't seen it, so I didn't know who that was. Some of the chaperones and a few of the other kids seemed impressed, though.
Now that I'm an adult, am a casual fan of Star Trek, and know of Leonard Nimoy, I'm pretty sure the person in question was just a member of planetarium staff wearing Spock ears and that either the staff or one of the chaperones joked about who it was to a gullible (especially me) crowd. I suspect him being there would have been a much bigger deal.
And that's how I met Leonard Nimoy.
Nerve pinch? Or Vulcan fart?
Why not both?
