The Art Of Less and Let Go

Star Trek -- Spock Loved JIM’S Name!



Spock and Jim enjoyed each other as actors and laughed a lot. They were very good friends and swam a lot in the summers together and played darts. Jim or William Shatner loved playing Lawn Darts but that’s what hindered Billy Shatner and Leonard Simon Nimoy’s continuance of a relationship. “Kirk” tossed a Lawn Dart, a large yellow Lawn Dart, toward Nimoy while playing a game at Nimoy’s home in Boston when the Lawn Dart veered into the sun, causing Nimoy to loss sight of the yellowish of the Dart used in the Lawn. The Lawn Dart had been tip loaded for greater accuracy and weighed over 14 pounds. Upon striking Nimoy in the skull, Nimoy shouted, “Aww Hell!” and fell into the empty swimming pool in his back patio tundra. Shatner shouted, “Look there, look there! Give that man a cigar!” This statement was out of context and they distanced themselves from one another for a few months largely because Nimoy was in ICU for 2 months.
