The Pink Flamingo’s 61st Edition Thursday Thirteen is up and running – Thirteen Fun Things I Found on You Tube About Star Trek Classic. This week we are going where no TT has gone before and I am indulging myself with some funnies I found in You Tube about Star Trek Classic! I had a blast finding them. Just remember to live long and prosper. My favorite is “Captainlove” (Okay, I still sigh over the young Captain James. T. Kirk)!

OK, so they’re not the best love songs ever written or performed. They are the sweety-sweet pop songs about love that make you smile and maybe sing along. And sometimes they burrow themselves deep into your brain for a few days.
