Yay! We're coming up on the 40th anniversary of the birth of the Mirror Universe, too. (Hence the avatar, everyone do MU avatars dammit! 
)

Okey doke, but don't go splat! 
Whoever gets to do the SF/F Avatar contest that week needs to do an MU theme.

I was still 8 years old and I had just seen an hour of television that would completely change how I would forever perceive Science Fiction.
It was also the first TV show I was allowed to stay up late for on a school night.
I also, had just fallen completely in love with a second, major, inanimate object, the ENTERPRISE!
(my hand-made, quilted bed pillow given to me by my grandma when I was 6 years old, being the first.)
And because of this I think I built about 15 of the AMT model ENTERPRISE kits between the age of 9 and 20 (1967-1979).
I still have the parts to the first kit packed away some place and have at least 6 unopened kits waiting for my retirement years. :thumbsup:

One year and two months before I was born.
I was 3, almost 4 at the time and didn't actually discover TOS until syndication (circa 1973-ish). Though I do have one early stray memory about seeing Spock on screen as a 5 or 6 year old. Mom and dad weren't SF fans, so the channel got changed shortly after.
It was Vicky Rice who got me into the stripped syndie run at the age of 10 or 11. (Wonder whatever happened to that girl?)

Star Trek's Lonely Harts Club Band
==================================
It was 41 years ago today
Gene Roddenberry and friends did play
So let me present to all of you
Star Trek's lonely hearts club band
I don't really want to start the show
However, a singer's gonna sing a song
And I want everyone to sing along
So let me introduce to you
The one and only Billy Shears
Star Trek's lonely hearts club band
Billy Shears
What would you do if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me
Lend my your ear and I'll try to sing a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key
Oh I get by with a little help from the fans
Oh I get high with a little help from the fans
Do you need anybody
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love

* Smiles ear to ear *

Happy birthday, Star Trek! 
indeed!
Happy Birthday Star Trek!!!!!
Forty candles was too much for the Enterprise crew when the chef brought the cake to the bridge. Kirk however, couldnt wait to compete with Scotty in the weight-gain contest they had started, that would last them until their last mission.
I wasnt born until January 84, the year Search for Spock was released, so Trek was well under way by then.
Been a fan since, oooh, about 1990 ish, around there, started with TOS, that was my first Trek,and the best one id like to add. :thumbsup:
