Greetings, #TOSSatNight gang. With you in spirit tonight as you celebrate one of my favorite actresses.
My grocery bags are reminding you to visit your neighborhood French bakery today & pick up treats to celebrate #BastilleDay. Because without our friends the French, the USA would be a small sidebar in the history of the British Empire, & many of our favourite words would be spelled in Canadian. 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
Hansen and Delilah is going to be the name of my next rock band. #Svengoolie
I see our first Perry Mason connection - Kevin O'Neal, Ryan's kid brother, who appeared in the only color PM episode. #Svengoolie
When I was a kid, the resemblance between these two confused me. Are they not 89% identical? I'm still confused. Aside from that, I find this episode more enjoyable with each watching. It's hard to go wrong when you use Shakespeare for your model. #AllStarTrek #ConscienceOfTheKing
"Triomphe of Paris has been destroyed at last! Yay!" How many failed attempts have there been? And what spurred this vendetta? "Also, the George V restaurant will be having a turtle soup special all summer! Maybe even through autumn!" #Svengoolie
I'm so glad the frogs got their moment in the spotlight. #Svengoolie
A friend is learning how to felt. Maybe she can make me one of these. Would that make me the coolest ever or just an ultra-nerd? #AllStarTrek #TheWayToEden #HardBoiledEggWithGlasses
It was like you were all with me at the quilt shop the other day. Getting ready for #CurseOfTheDemon tonight! #Svengoolie
Delayed post: Just another Thursday afternoon in River Falls, Wisconsin. #Svengoolie (Photo taken moments before I spilled my mostly-full glass of lilikoi juice on the sofa.) #RealHorror
Teenagers were a lot older in the 1950s. A lot older. #Svengoolie
"The gagh is getting away!" #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #IllJustHaveTheCucumberSalad (Pinched from YouTube video Incredible Moments Caught on Camera #4 Best of 2026.)
The radishes (and other spicy participants) were out in abundance at the #FarmersMarket.
They need the catnip wand. It worked for Captain Kirk. #Svengoolie
I. Want. This. Shirt. Okay, not this exact shirt. Weird Al would put up a fight, and he would hand me my okole in less than 5 seconds. I want one of this shirt's siblings. Anyone out there recognize the manufacturer? TIA. #AlohaShirt #AlohaWear #WeirdAlYankovic #TheLateShowWithStevenColbert
"Think back to your childhood. Do you remember when the anxiety started?"
The Romulan Commander likes pink, it seems. And dig that groovy mirror. #AllStarTrek #TheEnterpriseIncident
Finally, proof that justice is for sale in America. (To be honest, the price seems fairly reasonable.)
Programming alert, #AllStarTrek, #MeTVStarTrek, and #StarTrek gang: If you get the Movies channel, right now is starting The Gubfighter, starring Gregory Peck. Also in the cast is Skip Homeier, who turns in a wonderful performance as a young punk who wants to kill Peck's character to make his name.
I like the dreamy, almost fairytale vibe of this episode, and a great deal of that comes from the wonderful soundtrack. And then there's this guy. #MeTVStarTrek #Metamorphosis
What? The man from the British space agency escaped his mum by taking a job as one of The Penguin's finks? Holy crazy crossover! #Svengoolie #MeTVBatman
Just a reminder: "The Book" is a Complete Shakespeare. #AllStarTrek #APieceOfTheAction
