To hell with that. The winners get to ride in the Saint Paul Winter Carnival Parade. But look at that smile on Spock's face. February 1,1969 must coincide with his breeding time. It's probably in the fine print at the bottom, which is cut off, that the "eight lucky ladies" must do "it" with him.

I was hoping TV Digest was still around so I could fill out the entry form and mail it to them. TV Digest: You're 55 years too late. rhs: Damn post office!

On the plus side, while TV Digest is long gone, and the real Leonard Nimoy died in 2015, this 'reasonable facsimile' might still be around. Probably be able to get him real cheap, too. BTW, did anyone else notice that the winners were to be announced on Jan 30, and the award was to take place on Feb 1st? That gave the so-called winners one solid day to make arrangements to claim their 'prizes'.

Maybe the show was on the bubble for renewal or cancelation, and this was Gene Roddenberry's way to jazz up the ratings in a last-ditch effort to sway the Russell Dalrymple at the time.

Probably a none-too-subtle way of Russell telling Nimoy during contract negotiations that he was not irreplaceable. They could have given any schmoe off the street a Moe Howard haircut, taped on some novelty store pointy ears, and no one would have been the wiser.

Can somebody get us the names of those "eight lucky ladies"? Was "Spock" as suave as he always came across? More importantly, what did he eat at the breakfast? Fake Spock: Ooh, a Cocoa Puffs dispenser. Score!

For all we know, one of the "winners" sued because it was a scam and fake Leonard Nimoy showed up. Woman: You're not even the real Leonard Nimoy. Nimoy: Yes I am. Look. (gives thumbs-up sign) Live prosperous and true. ("winners" then beat the crap out of fake-Nimoy)
