Couch 231: Live Long and Prosper!

We have a session scheduled for late Saturday afternoon, so knowing him, probably Saturday. He sent me a check-in email this morning, so that was nice. I'm never sure if I should respond to this type of email, but I always do. Just a few sentences. Nothing deep.

True. What comes up when you google 231? Not anything personal! Like not my weight (i wish!).

She said it has something to do with the title of the thread as well as the number as well as Star Trek. So presumably something to do with the Vulcan salute.

I guess you really want a three stooges poke in the eye from her, huh?

Yeah, I googled it and wikipediaed it. I even searched Memory Alpha. I still have no idea.

The area code for part of Michigan. Some civil codes. How that relates to Star Trek or LLAP, I don't know.

Boy, you are not a trekkie! The title of the thread is a major major theme of Star Trek. And a minor minor hint. And thats another hint!

And i hope y'all didnt give me google rule excuses without googling FIRST!

And what does michigan look like? A hand. And what area does the area code cover? The ring and little fingers. How do you say live long and prosper? It jumped out at me, how does it not look like that to you ie everybody?

Im NEVER gonna be able to train my replacement! J/K

Hang on while I fetch Yiddish with Djck and Jane.

P.S. Nope. Not there. I had to Goggle it.

This is something upon which I pride myself.

I saw the area code of MI, but...this is really obscure, even for you.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with liking Star Trek! That show has gotten me through a lot of dark times.

This puzzle was like some sort of unofficial Rorschach test.

Una countdown: 5... 4... 2... 3... 1... Lift off!

The part where Una lives?

Usually when i ggogle a number the first thing on google is a wiki link now i have a link for a display home on a builders website and various government websites and wiki isnt there even after 5 pages. All i have are real estate websites and hardware store websites mainly. I briefly looked at real estate last week for my daughter and havent looked at a hardware store for over a month

That's pretty obscure... Only a michigoose would think of it.

Oh, interesting! My t was a rhorschasch proponent.

Why would google think i wanted these things from a number?

This probably why i use duck duck go for my searches first entry there..wiki

It's the Sleeping Bear Dunes/Traverse City part. An OK area, but no Upper Peninsula.

Area code 231 Northern Michigan.

I like Star Trek but even this was a stretch for me! I only like Spock from the original though. I get tons of jokes in my FB feed of Picard and Wil Wheaton's character which I can't think of his Star Trek name right now and don't feel like googling it.

I would say ive seen this map a million times, but i dont think i have. I think its fairly new because of the splitting of area codes. I think all 4 fingers used to be one area code not so long ago. I should google this. I did used to contract at the phone company tho so yeah i do have somewhat of an interest in area codes. Plus like seinfeld 212.

Eta - yeah, created 1999! Ten years after my deployment at the phone co. Plus its a split of a split.

So i think why it jumped out at me is that the map IS signicantly different from how i remember it deep within the recesses of my brain.

Eta - ive been waiting for michigan to turn into this for what 50 years?

You had me stumped unaluna. Of course, that's not too difficult. I'm very easy to stump.

I was on Facebook (mistake 1) and entered a contest in the Dot Dot Smile company and I won a $10 certificate! Then I had to figure out what to buy, so I got my niece a dress and send it to her. Which I did. But anyway the contest was to post your most recent picture on your phone. I did. It was of my cat and my Dad. And my sister says, That's a nice picture of Dad. And the Dot Dot Smile lady was like, That's my sister! (Dude, never even met the woman!) I'm like huh?

I like Wil Wheaton now a lot more than i did when he was on TNG. I was too jealous of him back then!

Have you seen his yt video 'I met William f...ing Shatner'?

Yes hilarious!
