James Doohan, 'Star Trek's' Scotty, dead

I heard some bad news... James Doohan (you know, Scotty from Star Trek) passed away from Alzheimer's.
 
It's a sad day. I just heard that James Doohan (you know, Scotty from Star Trek) died of Alzheimer's. Poor fellow.

Don't worry. :D I'll be the one who gives in and takes notice. Should I make an early onset alzheimer's reference? :rolleyes:
 
Man, I was just browsing the 'Net and discovered that James Doohan (you know, Scotty from Star Trek) passed away. They say it was from Alzheimer's. We'll miss you, Scotty. I guess you could say this is the only time Scotty got beamed up.

I think I might have to get a copy of your book just because you're good for entertainment and I wouldn't want you to starve to death!

Well, there's always dolphin and orangutan bars, right? Whatever those are... By the way, have you heard about James Doohan?

Yeah... I think he choked on a bald eagle bar... no, wait! Alzheimer's... that's it, he died of Alzheimer's. R.I.P. Scotty. You could say this is the only time Scotty got beamed up. We'll miss you Mr. Eagle.
 
I don't know where the series would have been without Kirks miracle worker.

I about died laughing when he was trying to talk to the Apple pc in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.

That was an absolute classic.

[Scotty faced with a 20th century computer]
Scotty: Computer. Computer?
[Bones hands him a mouse and he speaks into it]
Scotty: Hello, computer.
Dr. Nichols: Just use the keyboard.
Scotty: Keyboard. How quaint.

Edit: A few more classics I have found on the net

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984)
[Their first look at the U.S.S. Excelsior]
Uhura: Would you look at that!
Kirk: My friends, the great experiment: The Excelsior. Ready for trial runs.
Sulu: She's supposed to have transwarp drive.
Scotty: Aye, and if my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a wagon!
Kirk: Come, come, Mr. Scott. Young minds, fresh ideas. Be tolerant!

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)
Captain James T. Kirk: Mr. Scott?
Scotty: [over intercom] Aye, sir?
Captain James T. Kirk: Did you find the engine room?
Scotty: Right where I left it, sir!

Star Trek: Generations (1994)
[Kirk is invited to give a command to the new Enterprise-B]
Kirk: Take us out.
Chekov: Very good, sir.
Scotty: Brought a tear to my eye.
Kirk: Oh, be quiet.
