George Takei fans: I am one degree from George Takei.

[Aristus]

I've met writer Harlan Ellison (who wrote the original teleplay for Star Trek TOS's The City On The Edge Of Forever").

And Harlan Ellison met George Takei, describing him as the most charming man he had ever met.

Now I want to meet George Takei.

[LadyHawkAZ]

1. Let me know when this meeting happens

so I can come hang out with you that day.

George is my hero.

[Aristus]

2. Oh, so it's not about me, huh?

Just wanna meet George?



Sure. You and all my friends. Meeting him would be incredible. We could all have a party, and say "Oooooooh MY!..."

[HarveyDarkey]

3. Well, him and Will

On edit: I'm a big Harlan Ellison fan, love his writing. I'd love to hear more about that meeting.

[Aristus]

4. I've posted the story before.

It's too long to want to go into right now; I'm too tired. But rest assured, the tale is going in my memoirs...

[LadyHawkAZ]

8. Did you just stick that tongue at me???

Ohhhh Myyyyyyy!

[Aristus]

12. ......yes, I did...

... ...

[LadyHawkAZ]

16. George says...

[MiddleFingerMom]

5. I'm pretty sure that George doesn't want to um... hang out with me.

7. And that is why

you're not getting a Texas Towelie Bed Bath!

[LadyHawkAZ]

17. GAH!

MY EYES!!!

That image will never NOT need a graphic photo warning.

6. I think I'm three.

A good friend of mine knew Shatner through the horse business years back. In fact, he gave her a USS Enterprise jacket. She said she could never wear it anywhere without old guys asking her if she'd been in the Navy.

So I'm two people and a horse from Mr. Takei.

No, wait! James Doohan used to live in Redmond WA (in his later years) and we all saw him all over, so we're even!

But I has a envy about Ellison.

9. We should totally play a Six Degrees of Aristus around here

You don't want me carrying all of the water, do you?

[Aristus]

13. Unfortunately, all of the DU-ers I have met in person

are no longer on DU.

The problem with having been here for 12 years is the parade of friends one has seen come and go...

[eShirl]

10. I met George Takei once...

if a very brief chat at a Creation Convention 20-25 years ago counts.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

11. I am one degree from George Takei.

My ex trained horses for Shatner. We went to Horse Shows and Tattersalls Sales with Shatner. Shatner sold that farm but, I was on the farm that Shatner owned. It was a lovely place.

[MrScorpio]

14. I've met both Takei and Koenig, baby!

[Aristus]

15. Woo-hoo!

That must have been great, Mr. Scorpio! I'm happy for you.

[sofa king]

18. I squandered my opportunity to meet him...

... by getting too drunk at a Star Trek convention. But I'm sure everyone has done that at least once.
