lol! lol!

It's been a LONG time since I've heard the word "Grok."

I've been a fan of Heinlein since my high school days. But it's been years since I read that novel.
Luckily the library at my high school had several of his novels. But I think my favorites were "Glory Road"
and "Starship Troopers."

I think I may have been too young to fully grok "Stranger in a Strange Land" when I read it. I remember
key points, his being discovered and his death. The church running state I don't think I really comprehended
when I was young. I've heard that he has been considered the inventor of the waterbed because of that novel.

I need to reread it.

"I grok Spock" was a commonly heard expression among fans of TOS during it's original run, especially when NBC was thinking of cancelling the show.

I was about six years old during the TOS run on prime time, so I don't remember
that phrase. The first time I was familiar with the term Grok was after I read Heinlein's
novel Stranger in a Strange Land, when I was in high school in the late '70's.

Had I read the novel in the late '60's during the time of the TOS, I would have completely
associated with the term "I Grok Spock."

My effort. It probably only complies with 3 of the 6 rules but doing it has really helped rekindle my VAM Mojo!
