I can have my own Gorn head? Sweet!A memorabilia company is auctioning off tons of Star Trek original props, scripts, costumes, etc. You can finally own Capt. Pike's chair (which my dentist also has, I think), memos that made jerk sci-fi authors very angry, the big seat itself and, of course, Frank Gorshin's pants.

Neat stuff, though a bit jarring when I got to the end and the listing concluded with Jimi Hendrix's army medical reports. Perhaps I'll combine those with a Dr. McCoy tunic...

What I really want is Captain Pike's beeping roller thingy.

This weekend some friends and I heard about this and we were wondering why it didn't go straight to the Smithsonian Institution. I guess everybody's out for a buck these days.

Do I detect a not-overly-subtle Harlan Ellison reference in your post, ice?

Does Harlan Ellison call people cocksucker?

Probably. Probably calls people a lot worse, too.

Probably, he called one of guys from the EFF a motherfucker in an open debate not so long ago.

Everytime I see something like this I wonder about the set designers and craftsmen who built this junk. "40 grand for that damn lucite chair, shit I should have kept it for myself!"

skallas: I'm guessing what you're referring to is this.

Sounds like an average day at Metafilter...

(sorry for the digression.)
