…So Kirk is thinking “You know you want me, baby!”
Spock is thinking “I am the logical choice.”
Poor Larry is sweating ” I LOVE YOU, MIRANDA!”
Sulu is just “Uh, Why am I here?”
And Ambassador Kollos knows he has it in the bag!

Remember Telephones? Real Telephones? I’m not talking about those mini TV’s that everyone carries around in their back pockets that can be easily butt-dialed. I mean an old-fashioned land line, with a receiver attached to a cradle with a coil! As analog technology becomes more and more obsolete I sometimes find myself nostalgic for big ol’ clunky land lines. And rotary dials. Another think I liked about old phones was that there was sufficient room between the ear and mouth piece, the hand set fit comfortably in ones hand, and the audio was pretty darn good! (And for all of you wondering where the ‘pillow talk’ picture came from, I have no idea!)
Good Morning Scrappers! And now, a special announcement:
A reader sent a note here saying that people have often told him he looks a lot like Mr. Spock — he’d like to send in a picture and get the other Scrappers opinions! This gave me an idea– How about a SPOCK LOOKALIKE CONTEST? The contest starts TODAY MARCH 18TH, and you have until MONDAY APRIL 1ST to send in a photo of you or someone you know in your best SPOCK persona! (If you have a Starfleet Uniform and pointed ears, all the better!) The photo should have been taken within the last 5 years. Photos will be posted here on Trekker Scrapbook, and all readers will cast one vote each.
The Spock Look-Alike winner will receive this vintage Media Spotlight magazine with Spock on the cover!
Winner will receive an original 1977 Media Spotlight magazine from my personal collection, featuring Leonard Nimoy as Spock on the cover!

And there you have it– our first contest for Trekker Scrapbook! I hope I hear from a lot of you, and that we’ll see who’s voted the Spockiest of all! Thanks,and have fun! -Therese
Here’s today’s flashback: From September of 1978, a READ Magazine from my High School English class which astonishingly reprints the entire screenplay from The Trouble with Tribbles! We read this aloud in class, (can’t remember which part I was) I like the sketchy illustrations within recreating the episode. thrill for me of course since I could probably recite it by rote! Also, anyone remember GRIT newspaper? (Earn $5-$10 easy a week!) I always wondered why a supposed ‘family paper’ had such a scuzzy name!

Here’s today’s flashback: From Ebony Magazine in October 1978, a quick blurb about Nichelle Nichols non-Trek, real life work for NASA. You Go Girl! Love her. My late Dad had an enormous crush on her and used to joke that he’d leave my mother and marry her! Also, a first look on the set of Star Trek: The Motion Picture. I remember seeing this and, although I was happy to see Trek coming back, my first thought was: “What the HELL have they done to the Uniforms!” (Jeez, they were hideous, weren’t they?)
Here’s today’s flashback: From 1978, a reprint of yesterday’s article from our local paper, a quick blurb with a picture of Leonard and Sandy (yeah, I scoured a lot of movies magazines to find any new pictures on Leonard and Trek people, (Man, was I loser or what?) . Is it me or does Sandy always look shocked or worried in pictures? And yet another Grin and Bear It comic, another stereotypical jab at female astronauts (still cute though)
Here’s today’s Flashback: From August 29th and September 10, 1978 –First Nimoy replies to the many fabrications made about Spock over the years, and a quick blurb about how security was tightened for the movie after blueprints were stolen. I especially like how Nimoy reminds those not familiar with Spock that the character is NOT cold and unemotional, just trained to hide his emotions, which I’m sure isn’t easy for a half-human! 
Here’s Today’s flashback: From August 1978, It appears in the ’70’s, fans couldn’t wait for spoilers either. A merchandiser promoting artwork for the Trek movie stole the actual blueprints for the (then) new Enterprise and attempted to sell copies to fans at $75 a pop! That wasn’t nice! He was caught. Wonder whatever happened to him? Also, a 1975 Seventeen Magazine asks “Who’s Cool?” and suggests Mr. Spock vs. The Fonz.
