Entry: Poll Clarification Thursday, August 03, 2006

When I set up this imaginary fistfight between Matt Dillon and James T. Kirk, I meant

THIS Matt Dillon....

(the guy with the star),

NOT this Matt Dillon.....

....whom I had forgotten about altogether. Shit, Yeoman Rand could kick HIS ass.

Not so crazy now, am I?

See, all along I was thinking of the candyass guy! GEEZ.

Kirk and his phaser vs. Marshall Dillon and his gun. Kirk wins. In a fist fight, Dillon's got the edge. And Dillon would win a stare-down, too.

Yeah, what Nat said. Technology triumphs, but Kirk was a wimp compared to the Marshall.

okay, i was talking about the marshall, you have seen kirk pound the crap out of a klingon, right? the marshall might be big, but he isn't a klingon, and he doesn't know the vulcan nerve pinch.

Nat- new polls every Sunday. Maybe I should re-set this one so everyone can vote again?

Jollykay- Only Vulcans can do the Vulcan Nerve Pinch, as it involves channelling energy through the fingers and out of the fingertips. Humans can't do that. (I TOLD you I know my Trek).

Spock was the best sidekick, but Festus was cool, and so was his mule, Ruth. (Did you know that the guy that played Festus was also the guy that sang "Tumblin' Tumbleweeds"?) He had no book learnin' but he has some street smarts. The guy in the picture is Chester (Dennis Weaver) who was a good man but dumb as a rock.

But see, Marshall Dillon was so effective, he didn't NEED a good deputy.

i wouldn't bet the farm on it, but i am pretty sure i have seen kirk do the nerve pinch thing.

Nope.

According to the Star Trek Encyclopedia, few non-Vulcans ever learned it. Spock tried to teach Kirk, but failed. Data learned it, though.

It was a gift, Nat. I wouldn't buy such a thing for myself.
