Come on guy, give!
What do you do, drop a shuttle craft on his chest, check for respiration, repeat?
Okay, first you find some sulpher, some carbonous material, a tube open at one end only, some diamondlike rocks; then, rip off your shirt…
Of course, you also need a stunt double who looks only vaguely like you (same race and gender, maybe same hair color) to do the wide shot fight scenes with the gorn.
I never noticed before how often they find ways for kirk(and his stunt double) to have a fight with the alien of the week.
I believe goat-felching was part of the pon farr (aka “Amok Time”) ritual right before the battle with the bladed pugel sticks. Apparently, it was done to get the participant in an appropriate pissed-off mood.
Unfortunately, Roddenberry was forced to cut that scene out of the final episode due to mores of the time. The negatives of the excised scene have, unfortunately, never been recovered.
I think it just happened to work out that Bones only ever ran into arguements with non-humans. His moment alone with Spock (or his body at least) in ST III shows his real feelings, no racist/speciesist, just up for an arguement thats all. His emotions will some day be his undoing.
“That is logical. You obtained the least asthetically pleasing goat”
HPL, I once scripted a parody video skit of Star Trek with my then room-mate as Kirk. He looked amazingly like him.
I had another friend, a 6’4" black woman who was of very large proportions. (I really need to look her up, see how she is. I know how Kirk roomy is…) She had agreed to be “Kirk’s” stunt double for me. I even found the perfect hair piece for her.
(I was filming commercials freelance while the building industry slumped. This was the same time period that had me scrounging for backing for my beach culture Romeo & Juliet flick that was fundless after the Philipinos puled out. Damn Marcos!)
But, alas! It just barely failed to see the light of day due to an abundance of problems, including the room-mate moving to San Leandro to get married.
But, could you imagine the sight gag of switching between close ups of “Kirk” and long shots of “Stunt Double Woman”?
I should get them all back together and jsut do it, even if only on DV for us. 
Similar, schmimilar. A shark is a scaly, cartaliginous egg-laying fish with gills. A dolphin is a smooth-skinned, bony mammal that breathes through the top of its head. A vulcan is a human with a sallow complexion and pointy ears.
Oh. Apparently, I’m wrong. But I still say its concei… not beyond imagination that IF a multitude of races evolved elsewhere that were almost exactly like humans we MIGHT be able to interbreed with some of them. We are talking about a pretty big IF here.
I believe the trend in recent years has been toward classifying the domestic dog as a wolf: Canis lupus familiaris. Similarly, the domestic cat’s relationship to some wildcats is recognized by the move from Felis catus to Felis sylvestris catus. The ALC referred to in my previous link is Felis bengalensis, a distinct species – for now. But now are we saying organisms can interbreed because they are the same species or organisms can interbreed therefore they are the same species?
If they’re very similar to terrestrial life we could end up rewriting our definitions of species, genus, family, etc. I suspect, however, that any extraterrestrial life we found would be different enough to merit its own kingdom.
Kingdom? I’d expect that they’d invent a new level above kingdom to describe what planet the lifeform evolved on. Maybe call it “Biota,” as in “Vulcan Biota” or “Terran Biota”
Things that make us go. And I want some o’ those Big Bang Burgers!
That probably would make more sense.
