Thanks potemkin...........looks like you have me stumpped this time

I haven't got a clue...................

Hey, potemkin - it's not Dr. Who, is it?

That's just a guess, BTW - the only Dr. Who I've seen was years ago on PBS (Tom Baker). But it sounds like something he'd say.

Thanks for the clue I am not up to date on English sci-fi but I will check with my friend from there and see if she or her husband knows............

gmd3d · June 7th, 2004, 03:32 AM

sorry dawg it's not Dr who,

and now you mention it, it does sound like tom baker would have said while playing Dr Who,

The show has been mentioned in an other thread in Colonial Fleets
Its also a comady show very very funny,

unowhoandwhy · June 7th, 2004, 11:38 AM

Is it from Red Dwarf? It sounds like something they would say.

Rowan · June 7th, 2004, 01:52 PM

Good job Uno

amberstar · June 7th, 2004, 06:09 PM

Way to go UNO!

June 8th, 2004, 07:14 AM

OK, it's Uno's turn, but while we're waiting for her to be able to come up with a good one, here's an easy one for passing the time:

When was the first use of the line "Beam me up, Scotty."?

unowhoandwhy · June 8th, 2004, 07:59 AM

"Beam me up, Scotty" was never used in the original series, I believe.

As for my quote:

"This is it, the entrance ta the Forbidden Forest. All we gotta do is pick a door..."

Never used in TOS--that is correct. When WAS it first used?
And I have no clue how to get into the Forbidden Forest.

"Beam me up, Scotty" was it Star Trek V: The Final Frontier at the end of the film

Might have been there, too, but there was an earlier place where the line was consciously "quoted" as though in recognition of the fact that it had never actually been used before, despite its widespread fame. Who remembers the exact spot? (I had to confirm it on a videotape to be absolutely certain).

Rowan · June 8th, 2004, 10:41 AM

hey did you know there is a shooter called that:

Beam Me Up Scotty

Equal parts of; Kahlua, Creme de Banana, Baileys

Layer in exact order in a Pony or Shot glass

Not surprising, since drinks are often purported to have amazing abilities to "transport" one to exotic "locations". The surprising thing is how a phrase that was never uttered became a stock expression. Kind of like "Play it again, Sam." which also was never actually said.
But, once again, where was the phrase finally used, as sort of a tribute to itself? Anybody else have it memorized? (I confess that I did. I just referred to the video to make sure that I wasn't mistaken. I wasn't.)

unowhoandwhy · June 8th, 2004, 12:21 PM

I had to cheat and get it off the Internet, so I won't tell.

June 8th, 2004, 12:24 PM

Hi, Uno. You're being very sweet, waiting for us to finish the "beam up" question even though it's your turn and we should all be working on your question first, the one about the Forbidden Forest. Anybody know the answer to that one? EYE sure don't!

Although Kirk did say, "Beam me up, Mr. Scott." in one TOS episode, which is pretty durn close. (I know, I know, almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades and Star Trek is neither, so nevermind.)

unowhoandwhy · June 8th, 2004, 12:25 PM

Thanks, bombadil, but I am actually procrastinating and really should get back to work. I will have to go to CF Anonymous soon, I think.

I thought all Sci fi fans used that expression

Really? I didn't remember that. You're right, that is pretty darn close. What episode and scene was that?
In fact, the quote that I am fishing for is not "Beam me up, Scotty" but rather "Scotty, beam me up." which is also close, but not exact. I wonder whether Kirk ever said the exact words, "Beam me up, Scotty."
And I wonder where that Forbidden Forest reference came from??

Well, that's the question that's actually the "live" one right now. Does Rowan know the answer?? Get it right and you get to ask the next question.

I don't want it to end so fast and I don't want the pressure of coming up with a quote so help me out here and guess this thing will ya!

unowhoandwhy · June 9th, 2004, 07:10 AM

OK, in the Star Trek animated series Kirk did say, "Beam me up, Scotty" I can quote the episode if you give me some time to look it up (ditto on the TOS ep where Kirk said, "Beam me up, Mr. Scott.")

And Rowan is right about my quote, but doesn't anyone else know? I'll give you a hint. A VERY famous rock idol was one of the stars.
