Happy Fandom Friday!!! Today, I've chosen a picture relating to The Big Bang Theory, Season 2, Episode 11, "The Bath Item Gift Hypothesis". In this hilarious Christmas episode, Sheldon is so moved by Penny's gift to him, he actually hugs her!! He received a napkin signed by Leonard Nimoy, saying: To Sheldon, Live long and prosper. Apparently, about a week after the episode was filmed, Nimoy did sign a napkin with the same message. It was later auctioned at Nimoy's charity of choice, The Beit T'Shuvah "Steps to Recovery" Gala, for $1,100. Pretty cool, right? Unfortunately, despite people's and the show's best efforts, including William Shatner in 2010, Nimoy wasn't enticed to make a guest appearance.
Here's a couple pictures of the napkin, and a video link featuring an interview with Jim Parsons about the episode and Nimoy:
On the site, scroll down and click on: The Beit T'Shuvah "Steps to Recovery" Gala (2009). A video and more info should appear.
