He was the best part of those crappy movies.

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- James Doohan, the burly chief engineer of the Starship Enterprise in the original "Star Trek" TV series and motion pictures who responded to the command "Beam me up, Scotty," died early Wednesday. He was 85.

I though he died a few months ago...

It's too bad Deforrest Kelly had already paved the way for Scotty, we could use a good "He's dead Jim."

He'd been married to the last wife for 28 years? With as big a perv as he was at conventions, I'm really surprised. Maybe she didn't care. :mellow:

I would have preferred, "Beam me up, God."

That would be patronizing.

At 19, James escaped the turmoil at home by joining the Canadian army, becoming a lieutenant in artillery. He was among the Canadian forces that landed on Juno Beach on D-Day. "The sea was rough," he recalled. "We were more afraid of drowning than the Germans."

The Canadians crossed a minefield laid for tanks; the soldiers weren't heavy enough to detonate the bombs. At 11:30 that night, he was machine-gunned, taking six hits: one that took off his middle right finger (he managed to hide the missing finger on screen), four in his leg and one in the chest. The chest bullet was stopped by his silver cigarette case.

Lucky man.

Edit:
also, when the fuck did the canadians storm normandy?

Same day the Americans and Brits did. Problem was that they didn't make it very far inland as there was a local pub just up the street from where they landed.

They also invaded before D Day, and failed miserably.
