Spock’s Got Jewscles
Jun 7, 2009
(Made by meee! Note: that’s the old, original Spock, for those who don’t know)
Okay, so there’s a reasonable story behind this. During the 7th grade trip, I found out that one of my friends is *in love* with Spock. Well, first we were talking about Star Trek, then she mentioned Zachary Quinto, the actor that plays the new Spock. Then somehow it came about that she thinks Spock the character is hotter than Zach Quinto himself (Tavi thinks the same, no?)… Soo, for the rest of the trip, we – me and one of my best friends, Ray, otherwise known as the one who carried chili-soup to the dumpster with me/was my tentmate/etc – taunted her about liking Vulcan ZQ more than human ZQ. And that’s how this somewhat vulgar phrase came about (trust me – there were much worse…).
That said, Spock is a beast/awesome/one of my heroes.
Also about Spock: Zachary Quinto is Jewish. That means one more epic tribe member, aside from Sarah Silverman. Win. (He probably has huge Jewscles. New word, by the way, meaning “Jewish muscles, muscles of a Jewish person, etc,” pronounced “juice-kles” or “jews-kuls” – not sure which yet. I submitted it to Urban Dictionary [UPDATE: Jewscles was not admitted to Urban Dictionary! Ratsss]. Or even better: Jewsticles. Goes along with the Spock’s pubic hair theme, eh?)
Jeez, you could dedicate a whole post a whole site to Spock alone. Oh wait, someone did. A lot.
Lastly, you’re right, Jim Inhofe. Obama isn’t American. HE’S VULCAN.
The original Spock, Leonard Nimoy, is also Jewish. Did you hear his story of how he came up with the Vulcan Salute? He snuck a peek during a time you’re supposed to close your eyes in the synagogue and saw the Rabbi making that gesture.
Jewscles. I totally just added that to my dictionary on my Mac.
SPOBAMA FTW!
Thanks for the new comupter wallpaper Spencer XD
I’ve spent far too much time at work playing with this: http://www.trekyourself.com/?mId=0.4
Not only is the original Spock Jewish (I was in a Jewish study group with him when I first moved to L.A.), so is the original Captain Kirk. I’m not sure about the new Kirk except that he’s an alum of Leah’s school and she loves him. Jews are taking over the universe!
AHHHHHHHHHH. I LOVE ZACHARY QUINTO!!!! He’s my all-time favorite actor! Boy, was I thrilled when I found out he was playing spock! And in my opinion, human ZQ is way hotter than pointy-eared ZQ Spock! Well, that’s just what I have to say.
By the way, rock on with choosing the most random things to write about. Someday [Cassidy is now looking into the distance] you’ll win an award and all will praise you…..
[...] in the midst of the 7th grade trip and raving about Spock, I tote-uhlee forgot to talk about the weekend! And last weekend! Wooo I’m a little bit [...]
ha this is too funny for words. great blog love your polaroids:)
Zach Quinto isn’t Jewish. He’s Italian/Irish Catholic.
But Shatner, Nimoy, Walter Koenig (original Chekhov) and Anton Yelchin (Chekhov from the new movie) are Jewish. Chris Pine (new Kirk) is a little bit Jewish. So it’s just Quinto who’s the odd man out.
Um, I’m pretty sure he’s Jewish. I think you just saw the falsely-edited video on youtube where he says his name isn’t Jewish, not himself. :)
He says he’s Irish-Italian in his interview with Playboy, below. Since he went to a Catholic school, he’s probably Catholic like most Irish-Italian American mixes.
But we still have Pine and Yelchin in the new movie.

“PLAYBOY: You’re half Irish, half Italian. Under which circumstances does one side win out over the other?
QUINTO: The Italian side comes in handy when I lose my temper—if I lose my temper—because I can blame it on my fiery roots. I suppose the Irish side comes in handy when I sidle up to a bottle of Jameson, which is not often. [laughs] The Irish side certainly came in handy when I went to Ireland the summer between my junior and senior years in college. I lived in Galway. I waited tables in a coffee shop from eight at night until four in the morning. I did a play there. The people of Ireland are amazing.”
Isn’t it possible that he could be Italian…AND Jewish?
I love the photo with Zachary Quinto, may I have the basic photo?
Thank you very much !
