Leonard Nimoy’s Day Off
Honestly, I have no idea how Bruno Mars got Nimoy to star in this music video, or if it was filmed before Nimoy retired, or what. All I know is that I don’t care because it is totally fucking awesome. Honestly, the fact that he’s wearing a shirt with a tiger on it and yet has a giant tiger painting over his couch cracks me up more than just about anything, other than the fact that he went to the store solely to buy milk and pornography. I doubt Nimoy’s life is really like this… but… but god I wish it was. Infinite thanks to Adam M. and everyone else who sent in the tip.
