flip the record, a nerdy fanblog

Happy birthday, Bones!

Sometimes Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner's tweets are incredibly silly (well, mostly Shatner's)...but today among the silliness they also paid tribute to DeForest Kelley, which I thought was sweet.

LONG LIVE THE TRIUMVIRATE!

DeForest Kelley was the rare kind of celebrity who was shy, attention-averse, owned a pet turtle, wrote poetry, and stayed married to his wife for 54 years. It's pretty obvious why I love him. Happy birthday, De!

*PS - I considered making a tag called "aww" just for this post.

*PPS - This all started when Alex showed me this photo album, which made my heart melt. <3

*PPPS - Please go to Leonard Nimoy's twitter and read his 15+ grandpa-themed tweets before it's too late.
