Inspired by the trailer, I've made a bunch of icons! Yoink at your pleasure. :)

I'll have to get a paid account so I can snag some of these.

*dies* at Are We There Yet and Tribbles, and may yoink one of the two before the day is over if her resistance is weak...

[the-gneech.livejournal.com]

The tribble one also moves in perfect time with "We Like The Party" by the Venga Boys!

[paradisacorbasi.livejournal.com]

...

wow, it does!

[bauske.livejournal.com]

You did that on PURPOSE! Yes, I know you did! :p

[paradisacorbasi.livejournal.com]

Hee!

I did a GIP on my LJ, thanking you for the icon...it's been yoinked at least three times that I know of, since I mentioned you said it was yoinkable.

So you have earned more *mwah* on behalf of making my friends happy!

[the-gneech.livejournal.com]

One is pleased to be of service. :)

The "disco ball" one looks like a planet of Tribbles.

OH, SO NOW IT'S COOL TO LIKE STAR TREK TOS???

How many elitist butts do I get to put my foot up
now for looking down their nose at me with their
"Oh... you like *that* Trek?" attitude? >:)

[kelloggs2066.livejournal.com]

What you need is a Rod Serling Icon, Gene! :)

[genecatlow.livejournal.com]

Hmm... that's an idea... ^_^

Here You Go Then!

[kelloggs2066.livejournal.com]

There's a sign post up ahead...

Re: Here You Go Then!

[genecatlow.livejournal.com]

BAMSTONKARIFFIC! I needed this icon all
along and didn't know it! *grabs immediately*
Thank you thank you thank you!!

Re: Here You Go Then!

[kelloggs2066.livejournal.com]

Hey, glad you like it!

Of course, when The Twilight Zone is available in DVD sets, I'm going to be all over it! :)

Re: Here You Go Then!

[genecatlow.livejournal.com]

Hm? I've got some Twilight Zone on DVD already!
Not in a set, but I've got some of the episodes.
One had a very good documentary on how "Walking
Distance" was made!

(Of course, I've had them on VHS for eons now...)

Re: Here You Go Then!

[kelloggs2066.livejournal.com]

I think I have them all on tape too. (Taped off TV, and edited for sure:/ ) Buying individual episodes is too expensive for me, so I can wait for the sets to come out.

Besides, a lot of my favorite episodes aren't the really popular ones. One of my absolute favorites is "The Fear" with the tiny aliens. (I love how the characters finally face their fear and it's a monstrous hulking one eyed giant! But then it turns out to be a huge balloon! :) But obscure ones like that are probably not going to be put on individual DVDs, so I'll wait for the Sets. :)

Re: Here You Go Then!

[genecatlow.livejournal.com]

I rather like the obscure ones, too. Such as the
one (experimental) color episode and the pre-TV
episode borrowed from Ambrose Bierce. But I really
wanted to correct myself - I just checked, and that
making-of-Walking-Distance doccy I have is actually
on VHS, not DVD. Sorry, I misremembered... <:)

Re: Here You Go Then!

[kelloggs2066.livejournal.com]

Whoa! You're the MAN!

I never heard of a color episode! :o

[the-gneech.livejournal.com]

Dude! It was always cool to like TOS!

Even cooler to like the animated series! ;)

-The Gneech

[genecatlow.livejournal.com]

Well, *I* always thought so! But the aforementioned
kickable behinds had heads on the other end that
delighted in snootily condemning it's "garish" look
and "brash" feel. Oh, they'd always give it an "A" for
effort and freely acknowledge that without it the
latter-day "improvements" would never have made it
to the screen, but those were the only props they'd
give up for the first Trek. I'm planning my revenge...
>:)

[the-gneech.livejournal.com]

Gene! Just remember Captain Kirk's words ... "I will not kill, today."

-The Gneech

[genecatlow.livejournal.com]

Oh, not that! Not by any means. No Kill I, as
Big Mama Horta would say. No, just some big
thick slabs of revenge is all I have in mind...!

[kelloggs2066.livejournal.com]

Now, remember to be diplomatic!

"The best diplomat I know, is a fully activated phaser bank!" ;)

[genecatlow.livejournal.com]

Hey, unless warranted otherwise, I always set
for "stun" first! But the discussions I got into
that had post headers of "TOSsed my cookies" and
"It's been dead for years, Jim" must be repaid! >:)

[kelloggs2066.livejournal.com]

GRR!

Time to load up a bamboo tube with gunpowder and diamonds and blast away! ;)

[mammallamadevil.livejournal.com]

the first series has always been a recurring theme. There was the weekend reruns in the 70s on channel 5 with GMLD (all channels referred to are LA based). Then there was the midnight cocoa bashes courtesy of channel 13 and apartment de night owls in the mid-nineties. There's lots of goofy, weird, neat, and downright surreal memories in between. Viva la TOS!

[mecampbellesq.livejournal.com]

TOS is the only Trek that actually mattered.

[kelloggs2066.livejournal.com]

I may have to snag the Beautiful Lady one! :)

[frostdemn.livejournal.com]

These are great! Now if only I knew a bit more about Star Trek... These 'tribbles' interest me...
^^ I love the Spock one, though. Wunnerful!

[wabbitcalif.livejournal.com]

Snagging Tribbles, Are We There Yet and Disco Ball (and welcome once again to Out of Context Theater®)! Nicely done, Gneech!

Star Trekkin' across the universe, On the Starship Enterprise under Captain Kirk.

[vverevvolf.livejournal.com]

Ever heard a song called "Star Trekkin'" ?

I think it's by a group called The Firm or something like that... Oh wait... Here it is... (http://www.trekkieguy.com/trekkin.html)

It's the funniest Star Trek Parody song I've ever heard... of course, it's also the only Star Trek Parody song I've ever heard.

[aidax.livejournal.com]

I've got an MP3 of it on me comp. Bloody hilarious stuff!!! If anyone wants a copy let me know :)

Re: Star Trekkin' across the universe, On the Starship Enterprise under Captain Kirk.

[athelind.livejournal.com]

So you haven't heard The U.S.S. Make Sh*t Up or the all-time classic, Banned from Argo?

Re: Star Trekkin' across the universe, On the Starship Enterprise under Captain Kirk.

[paradisacorbasi.livejournal.com]

I've heard both.

But Sexy Data Tango and Worf's Revenge both beat USSMSU.

[canisrufus-uk.livejournal.com]

There's a great version of it combined with a Flintstones parody: Star... er.. Stone Trekin'

[mecampbellesq.livejournal.com]

Well, if you insist...

(Yoinks away!)

[aidax.livejournal.com]

Ahh man, those are great!! *laughs loud*

Interesting, that the artist uses the "Brick & Black" style uniform of the Movie Era and not the sweater & pants of TOS.

Jolan tru.

[torakiyoshi.livejournal.com]

*Nods* I noticed that. Actually, I rather like those uniforms. I think, of all the Trek outfits they've used (not counting things like Seven's), the Original Crew's movie uniforms were my favorite.

Disco ball?

[the-gneech.livejournal.com]

Well, originally I had "basketball," but "disco ball" was funnier. :)
