Which is not quite the same thing as VayaConDios....Via-con-Sombreros...
seeing the "Sombreromount" logos got me to thinking about the "real" sombrero universe as compared to the "fictional" one of Sombrero Trek we've been discussing.
In the "real" Sombrero Universe, Lucille Ball, sometime in the 40's traveled to Cuba and met a sombrero she fell in love with, they began to make movies together, then a hit TV show and then formed their own studio...

Then in the 1960's, the SombereroLu studios was producing several hit programs such as Mission: Sombrero, I Sombrero, Andy Griffith's Sombrero County Sheriff, and of course, Sombrero Trek.
The SombreroLu studios was right next to the Paramount Lot, and in 1966, Sombrerolu was acquired by Paramount, which as part of the deal changed their name to Sombreromount.
The 1967 and 1968 TV programs still bore the SombreroLu logo, but with a Sombreromount copyright notice at the bottom..

Relax. It was just a joke.NO! Absolutely NOT!
Just trying to find a humorous "real world" way to make Sombreromount a "Blue Warp Nacelles" company and that actually follows the real world pattern--Huzinga went from Garbage (waste management) to movie rentals (Blockbuster). Viacom then acquires Blockbuster. In the real sombrero universe, "Blue Warp Nacelles" acquires--at least temporarily--Via-con-Sombreros.
