I called in sick blaming an intestinal bug (where i.b. is of the my insides are tying themselves in knots and I really don't think my boss needs to know it is due to hormones type ) and wish I were still asleep and you guys are performing surgery at your desks with office supplies?

My brother once tried coloring our siamese with a red sharpie so she could be an imperial guard (from one of the star wars things.) Poor thing had red blotches for months.

I really need better painkillers.

For some reason this makes me laugh muchly....

I mean, coloring a cat to look like Vader makes more sense.... why an imperial guard?

Kirk at stagefront, singing "Mahna Mahna," with Chekov and Sulu singing backup ("Doo doooo de do do").

Leif grabbed a sharpie this weekend and wrote "Leif" and a smiley face on his hand. He also scribbled on his face.

Maybe because he could only find a red sharpie? I really don't know. But you know kid logic. And afterall, it may be genetic. His son did color his whole foot and the floor and walls with a black sharpie a few months back.....

From the same article:

This isn't the first time Paramount has considered a Starfleet Academy story. Before Star Trek VI turned into The Undiscovered Country, Trek movie producer Harve Bennett developed a movie called The Academy Years, in which a young cadet Kirk would have defended Spock against anti-Vulcan prejudice on the Academy. 'Bones' McCoy, already a physician, would also be a part of the class, having decided to join Starfleet to put behind him the tragic death of his father. Finally, one of the cadets' instructors would have been a teacher of mechanical sciences named Montgomery Scott.

Kirk and Spock in college... Kirk defending Spock against prejudice....

The K/S slash starts early, I see.

Especially if they're roomies.

And thank you so much for that earworm.

Kirk: When your world looks kinda weird and you wish that you weren't there Spock: Just close your eyes and make believe and you can be anywhere!

So you had to share?

Those guys were always so intriguing to me. Just how bad ass were they that they were selected for the Emperor's personal guard? What deadly secrets were hidden under those red robes? Why the funky long helmet that would seem to preclude head-turning?

Especially if they're roomies.

I'm sure that at some point Kirk would have to comfort Spock. Or they get drunk on Romulan Ale and....

You know how college kids like to 'experiment'.
