Happy 80th Birthday, Leonard Nimoy!

Following on from Shatner's 80th this week, Leonard Nimoy turns 80 today. Although he was portrayed poorly with regards to a raise and increased creative influence on the Original Series, I've always liked Nimoy and I'm not alone in that. He projects professionalism in whatever project he is working on, and he's always been good to the fans; a real gentleman. One of my favorite non-Trek projects of his was the 1970s paranormal investigation TV show In Search Of... The credits music used to creep me out. Scary!

In the spirit of birthday wishes and good humor, take a little trip to the Shire for "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins"...

The Bilbo Baggins Ballad was quite catchy. Also, I wasn't used to Leonard Nimoy smiling quite so much on television. It was a bit disconcerting. Thanks for an entertaining post :)

I can never unwatch that hobbit dance. Thanks, STEVE. Seriously, though - thanks for reminding me of "IN Search Of..." I LOVED that show.
