From Memory Alpha, re: the STV Novel
Spock roasting "marsh melons" at the start of the film was explained in the novel as being an elaborate prank by Dr. McCoy to reprogram the library computer database with a story that marsh melons were grown on trees in Georgia and that McCoy's own family had been famous marsh melon planters.
At the end of the novel, during the second campout at the end of the film, Spock discovered the deception and McCoy admitted he had hired a computer programmer to tap into the database and plant the false marsh melon story.

Hey! I have one of those! :D
 
note to self: do not inquire why someone might need a marshmallow dispenser (trek or otherwise) - have you not been older than 5 when it came into your possesion? :devil:
*makes mental note to not inquire*
*inquires in the very next sentence*
we must be related, I do the very same every day
 
Would have been late 30’s, IIRC. One shouldn’t assign rationality to the collector’s whims. Thus leads one down the road to Perdition.

Do I have to remind you that there's already been a ST musical, albeit only in the novelverse? That in itself is reason to believe it could work in canon as well.

Stamets suddenly reminds me of a couplet from Benny Hill's "My Garden of Love":
But Gus the gardener's gone now and you went with him too,
The fungus here reminds me of the fun Gus is having with you;

As to the video, and the slightly filkish riff on "Seasons of Love," all I can say is (as Cleavon Little's "Sheriff Bart" put it) "Well raise my Rent!"

Although it would have been better if only Mr. Rapp had been able to make "One million, seven hundred seventy one thousand, five hundred sixty one" scan with the tune.
