Talcott

Hi new followers, here’s what you’re in for: Weird bits of late-20th century nonsense from Columbus, Ohio (a city that’s as much a sitcom town as Springfield or Pawnee). A fair amount of Star Trek talk. Rambling about what I’m reading/watching/playing. I write and post a poem every day. Cat photos.

In honor of the passing of the great Walter Koenig, please enjoy this clip from The 1987 Fangoria Weekend of Horrors convention VHS featuring Walter Koenig and his son Andrew (who we all knew and loved as Boner on Growing Pains) attending the con.

RIP Walter❤️

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Don't you DARE joke about hybrid corn it's DEADLY SERIOUS

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

TIL I used to live right next to the grounds for Columbus’ first major league baseball team It’s a shame it’s now a highway on ramp…

This is from CompuServe Magazine, and thus it displays typical residents of Columbus, Ohio in 1987.

Eric Bauza. I’m in shock. He welcomed a friend and I when we stepped into NAS for the first time as fresh baby animation artists. He was unstoppable and unmatched as a voice actor. What are we gonna do without our Bugs? RIP to the best 💔

during the 2023 WGA strike. a real one.

Previous years' pumpkins

Autumn leaves by firelight.

The Batman Minus Batman show we need is a Veep-meets-Parks & Recreation-style sitcom about Gotham City Hall.

I might be each of those at one point or another, but THIS is the vibe I hope I bring to the skyline.

Ohio - go look at the moon!

My favorite thing about @restingdinoface.bsky.social’s writing is getting to walk across the prehistoric world with her. Also I love (and feel very protective towed) Snaggletooth the Tyrannosaurus rex already.

I contain multitudes.

Favorite film in haiku Through dangers untold beyond the goblin city “You have no power”

just got off the horn with the warehouse supervisor and you will NOT believe how many Wine with DeWine tumblers we still have stocked

Reading some of your posts and takes around here

it would suck to be on an amazing adventure in a strange and magical kingdom with a talking lion and then one day you're like, Oh what the fuck this is all just christianity

I don’t want to go there as a living being, but if I come back as a ghost (and the rules allow it), I think I’m going to go explore the ocean floor. Like if I’m going to be here forever, and I’m immortal and incorporeal, why not? I’m sure my unfinished business can wait.

My first 5 TTRPGs, in the order I played them. 1. Dungons & Dragons (AD&D 2e) 2. @countesslita.com’s Beast Wars homebrew of the Storyteller system 3. College was mostly White Wolf. I’ll group Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, Changeling, Aberrant together. 4. Big Eyes, Small Mouth 5. Star Wars (D&D 3e rules)

Food. Both in terms of quality and variety. I was out of college before smoking was banned in bars and restaurants, and that feels like something from the distant past. No longer needing to hang out with the weed guy. Pretty much everything to do with gender and sexuality, even with this backslide.

A Secret Service agent stopped me at the Obama campaign rally on the Ohio Statehouse lawn in 2008 and asked “are you Talcott Starr?” My blood froze as imagines of being the hapless protagonist of a spy thriller flashed through my head. Turns out he lived down the hall from me in the dorms. So two.

OUR DM DIDN'T KNOW WHAT A POLYCULE WAS HE'S BEEN TELLING PEOPLE HE'S GOING TO GO HOME AND GAME WITH HIS POLYCULE!! HE'S A DALLAS REAL ESTATE AGENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing better than an autumn sunset.

Unemployment has run out, and we have yet to get another TV job (though we've come close!). We have savings, but if my work means anything to you, I would really, really, really appreciate you becoming a subscriber. And now you can make me watch your favorite crap!
