Oh, it's a big pretty white plane with red stripes, curtains in the windows and wheels and it looks like a big Tylenol.

You play basketball for the Los Angeles Lakers. Roger Murdock: I'm sorry son, but you must have me confused with someone else. My name is Roger Murdock. I'm the co-pilot. Joey: You are Kareem! I've seen you play. My dad's got season tickets. Roger Murdock: I think you should go back to your seat now Joey. Right Clarence?

And that you don't really try... except during the playoffs. Roger Murdock: [breaking character] The hell I don't! LISTEN KID! I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I'm out there busting my buns every night. Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes.

As if a Trekkie knows there has "never been" or even if "there's one going on now".

I lived up in Stewart BC when that was being filmed. Interesting place to grow up. Ridiculous snow.

I posted this in a Cool Car Hauler thread over on the Classic Motorsports site, but couldn't stop myself from showing it here too.

In reply to Tom Heath:
