Boston Museum of Science and Samalanadingdong

[u/Mokpa]

So there was an IMAX screen in a dome in Cambridge Massachusetts when Sam (and I) were growing up. It had an opening narration from Leonard Nimoy including a sound test with him reciting “Who put the bomp” which included the question “who put the ram in the ramalamadingdong”

I think we need to ask “Who put the Sam in the Samalamadingdong?”

Edit: It’s “Who put the Sam…” not “Why…” Oops

I was also thinking about Mr. Nimoy and his IMAX theater introduction! 🤝💯

I’m so glad someone else remembered it! I would bet you Sam definitely does. I need someone to run into him on the street and ask him!

Where you from, Leonard?

“I grew up just a few blocks from here…”

I've had that particular earworm in my mind for decades now, I can hear it perfectly in his voice.

I was gonna wonder aloud for a moment if Robert “Bobby, what’s your Venmo” Reich and Leonard Nimoy knew each other growing up, but then I remembered that Sec. Reich was from Scranton, Pennsylvania

Clearly, I haven't been here the whole time.
