IF.....


IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Enjoy! *wicked smile*

Flight Officer: You need a doctor.
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: I told you people I don't need a doctor, dammit - I AM a doctor!
Flight Officer: You need to get back to your seat.
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: I had one. In the bathroom with no windows.
Flight Officer: You need to get back in your seat, NOW.
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: I suffer from aviophobia - it means fear of dying in something that flies!
Flight Officer: Sir, for your own safety, sit down or else I'll make you sit down!

"you" and "need" and Star Trek? Right, we can work with that...

Flight Officer: You need a doctor.
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: I told you people I don't need a doctor, dammit - I AM a doctor!
Flight Officer: You need to get back to your seat.
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: I had one. In the bathroom with no windows.

Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: I suffer from aviophobia - it means fear of dying in something that flies!
Flight Officer: Sir, for your own safety, sit down or else I'll make you sit down!

-- Star Trek (2009 JJ Abrams version)

Now, by my count that's 5 "you" and 4 "need", and it's a Star Trek quote, as attested at the IMDB link above. So is that 9 edges for the words, and 1 extra for the Star Trek provenance for a total of 10, but really 20 because today they're doubled, or something?

Or do we need a ruling from the judges on how to combine multiple word hits with a Star Trek hit? In scrabble, there would be a multiplier in there somewhere.

Miss Shell, an opinion, if you please?

And there's some rumors going round
someone's underground
she can rock you in the nighttime
'til your skin turns red

We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge

The color of infinity
Inside an empty glass
I'm squinting my eye
And turning off and on and on
and off the light

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Buckle your choice is just crazy, this is definitely a show point of why Nimoy was never as good as Shatner *chuckles

Shatner has done some horrible things to music... I do not want to dwell further on those

Nevertheless, this one I like:
Common People - William Shatner and Joe Jackson (original by Pulp)

Especially how Joe Jackson sings in that song

But still you'll never get it right,
when you're lyin' in bed at night,
watching roaches climb the wall,
if you called your Dad he could stop it all.

We can't forget this little Star Trek Diddy. *giggling*

This is from Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, I think.

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.
