You just don't happen to like Shatner, Amos, and that is all there is to it. Nothing more to it whatsoever. I like both Chongo and Shatner. I like all the characters I have fun with on this forum, which is why I bother to have fun with them.

I genuinely like Star Trek and all its weird history and offbeat character actors (of which I'd say De Forest Kelly "Bones" was definitely the oddest), and I genuinely like William Shatner and find him to be quite the entertainer in his own peculiar way.

I bought his book "Get A Life" just for a lark, and to my surprise found it to be a simply great read. There's more to Mr Shatner than just a toupee and a big gut.

You think I just pulled Shatner out of a hat one day and thought, "Hey, here's something I can pester the Mudcat Forum with..."? Well, it didn't happen that way, as I have explained in my previous post. I've been interested in him for a very long time.

If I had chosen Jerry Lewis to torture the forum with...THAT would have been capricious and meaningless. I don't give a damn about Jerry Lewis.
