"I'm given it oooll she's got ceptain"

Things I didn't know about him:

Stormed the beach in Normandy and was shot 6 times that day.
Wasn't really Irish, born in Vancouver, without any accent.

I read that as well. Kinda sad. I guess the Alzheimer's has been really bad the past few years for him.

:(

bummer. He was my favorite Star Trek guy.

at least he got the best name on the show.

"Scott"
 
My favorite episode was called Dysan Sphere and was where he ended up with Jordi trying to get the ship running. Jordi gave Picard a time estimate and then Scotty asked him how long it was really going to take. Jordi said it was going to take the actual time he quoted. Scotty came back and said that you should always say longer, that way you end up the hero. Which would explain how he always got it done in less time.
 
The Federation would have been lost if it were not for Scotty.


:tear:

My current SOP is to tell them what they want to hear and then make up excuses later. I am a smoke & mirrors expert at the dog & pony show. I guess I lack the honor & integrity that Fergie has.
