I went into Starfleet though I was a good ten years older than most of my classmates. And I listened hard to the teachers. I was strong on theory, but they'd been out there.
"A ship is a living thing," they told us, "with a crew for hands, a captain for a brain, and a doctor for a heart. You have to pump hard to keep a ship alive."
But this ship had a brain when we came aboard, and damned if I haven't been demoted to liver. The Enterprise already has a heart, and his name is Jim Kirk.

Date: 2005-06-20 03:42 pm (UTC)(Was there anything subconscious about McCoy's self-identification of "liver" above when he points out to Spock that his "heart is where his liver should be"?) *pegs ST geekmeter*

Date: 2005-06-24 01:21 am (UTC)Liver works for me!
Date: 2005-06-22 04:36 am (UTC)And the liver was considered the most important vital organ to the ancient Greeks (emulated by many aliens and admired by Jim Kirk). The heart was secondary.
Liver's also good when served with bacon and onions, but I'm not going to go there.
P.S. Howdy Rabidsamfan! Finally got an LJ of my own! (You'd asked for my address when I joined; I provided a drabble for the April 6 Sam's Birthday collection.)
Re: Liver works for me!
Date: 2005-06-24 01:22 am (UTC)Although if you serve my dear Dr. McCoy with bacon and onions there will be a reckoning...
Re: Liver works for me!
Date: 2005-06-24 04:17 am (UTC)Bacon and onions? With Bones? Ew! No, no, it's fava beans and a nice Chianti.
