Uncle Bob
Aunt Fern was never a great fan of television, but for some strange reason, Star Trek was permitted. We girls were allowed to watch as the brave men and women of the Starship Enterprise hurled themselves across the Galaxy, to explore strange new worlds, fight oddly shaped pieces of plastic and foam and watch Captain Kirk narrowly avoid catching any intergalactic Sexually Transmitted Diseases.
Uncle Bob would turn up like clock-work to watch Star Trek with us. His main comment generally was "They sure do have some good looking women in outer space." I still wonder if he would have enjoyed an Orion slave girl for himself, just to change to pace up a little.
To this day, Kate has a thing for men who remind her of Mr. Spock. All brain and savage willpower. Grrrrrrr. I've been known to fancy an engineer of two. "I canna hold her Captain....." Scarlet has more...exotic tastes. Isabella is more like a dedicated Romulan warrior at times, when she gets her dander up.
As for Uncle Bob, well, I'm sure the full sized framed poster of the Orion Slave girl I sent him a couple of years ago is still keeping him smiling while he watches the repeats on his DVD collection we four Divas sent him for his birthday.
Aunt Fern did not approve.
Love
Kennedy.
