24 Aug 01 - 09:01 PM (#534880) Subject: Shatner Concedes!!!! From: Little Hawk A visibly upset William Shatner addressed the press at 8:40 pm, Eastern Standard Time, to say that he concedes victory in today's vote to Catspaw49, aka Spaw, who took an early lead and held it to win by a possum's ass, and then some. Here is the text of Shatner's speech: "So. You want my comments on your silly election do you? I'll give you my comments. This Spaw character is some kind of crank on some pathetic Internet forum for old fogies (yells of "folkies!" from the crowd), and some other crank named Little Hawk decided to have him run against me on the sexiness platform. I hear he kisses his possum's ass on a regular basis. Well, he can kiss mine too. Do you really think I am worried by any of this? I'm a star. A big one. I'm a very successful man. I've got a life. I seriously doubt that the morons who have been parading my name around on the Net, foremost of whom is this Little Hawk asshole, have one. Now will you go away? I hope so. I could have more fun sucking on an old shoe than I've had dealing with you people." Shatner then flashed his famous Romulan double middle finger (using both hands) gesture at the audience, and stalked off in a flurry of flashing cameras, toupee intact. Well, that about wraps it up. We're in for 4 more years of Spaw's BS, Pa, Cletus, Cleigh, and all the rest. No more Shatner. None whatsoever. A Shatner-less desert the Mudcat will be henceforth. Hunker down and enjoy it. This has been Leslie Fernwinkel for WSSBS. Good night.

From: sophocleese Hey Sorcha if you go up to a little box in the corner of the page you can find the option that allows you to send a personal message to someone. Why not give it a try instead of prolonging a thread you don't like. Otherwise try a self application of the words boring and stupid. |

25 Aug 01 - 06:54 AM (#535034) Subject: RE: BS: Shatner Concedes!!!! From: gnu Sure sounds like something Bill would say. I recall seeing him on TV once, I think it was on "Saturday Night Live" (you know - that show produced by another famous Canuck) and he was addressing a Trekkie convention. He said something like.... come on people, it was a television show we did for a lark for a couple of years. Get a life ! LH... good banter on the threads... LOL |

|
26 Aug 01 - 07:28 PM (#535764) Subject: RE: BS: Shatner Concedes!!!! From: Little Hawk Well, I'm glad someone's going to miss it.... You can thank me for stirring up all that shit, actually, but S**tner was a handy vehicle for the purpose, that's for sure, and without him I would never have thought of it in the first place. - LH |

26 Aug 01 - 10:16 PM (#535839) Subject: RE: BS: Shatner Concedes!!!! From: Lee Shore Well alright, then, Little Hawk. I don't mind the Shatner hooha being shut down as long as you're still around to stir the next thing up. That was a wondrous piece of shit disturbin you conjured up there. |

27 Aug 01 - 10:51 PM (#536523) Subject: RE: BS: Shatner Concedes!!!! From: Little Hawk Most people liked Spock better. In fact, Spock was what really made that show. This doesn't change the fact that S**tner got to play numero uno and seduced more females than anyone else on the show. And...he pioneered a whole new speaking manner which no one else has quite succeeded in imitating (except, of course, Jim Carey, who used to do hilarious Kirk imitations before he became a big Hollywood star). - LH

'SCTV Behind the Scenes' by Dave Thomas! flattop thinks it will improve my writing skills. Maybe he's right. It's a fun book. |

28 Aug 01 - 11:52 AM (#536760) Subject: RE: BS: Shatner Concedes!!!! From: Naemanson Well now, let's not be hasty. Let's take a moment to make sure the count was accurate. How many hanging chads have you confirmed? Has the recount been confirmed? Have you contacted the US Supreme Court? |
|
28 Aug 01 - 12:21 PM (#536777) Subject: RE: BS: Shatner Concedes!!!! From: Little Hawk That's worth considering, Naemanson. But what the hell is a "chad"? I have been trying to find that out for some time, and no one seems willing (or able) to explain it. - LH Jack - No, S**tner did NOT talk with his butt, and neither did Jim Carey before Hollywood got hold of him. I saw him in the early 80's in Toronto, and he was VERY funny, doing a comedy routine onstage at Harbourfront. He did some Star Trek impressions and a ton of other impersonations...all superb. - LH |

28 Aug 01 - 06:32 PM (#537029) Subject: RE: BS: Shatner Concedes!!!! From: Celtic Soul What??? *No* more Shatner??? As in, at all?? Well, hell. :( I didn't realize he'd go away altogether if he lost. I might have voted for him, just so there'd still be fodder, er, I mean so he'd stick around. And on why he was Captain on the show, and why he got to seduce all the green alien women (this is a no-brainer); He might not have been a decent actor, but back then? He *was* one of the sexiest things on TV (for women). If I got TV at all, I might watch him with the sound down even now. Watch Spock for the intelligence and decent acting, watch Kirk to see how fast he can get his shirt ripped. |
|
28 Aug 01 - 07:05 PM (#537066) Subject: RE: BS: Shatner Concedes!!!! From: Little Hawk Wise words, Celtic Soul. You have summed it up nicely. As for S**tner never showing his face around here again...well, I think it might be sort of like Dick Nixon and the "Checkers" speech...remember that? My feeling is that a guy like Bill cannot be driven away forever. After a good sulk, he will probably return, hopefully with a new album of cover tunes by people like Dylan and David Bowie. Hang in there, and fortify yourself by playing old Star Trek videos with the sound turned down. - LH p.s. What does "chad" mean? |
|
28 Aug 01 - 09:32 PM (#537134) Subject: RE: BS: Shatner Concedes!!!! From: Celtic Soul LOL! Little Hawk, if he *does* make another cover album, I'll play that with the sound down too! ;D

29 Aug 01 - 07:17 PM (#537785) Subject: RE: BS: Shatner Concedes!!!! From: Gloredhel Good riddance! Spock was soooo much better. For those of you who are still curious, a "chad" is that little round piece of paper left over from the use of a hole-punch gadget. |
|
29 Aug 01 - 07:28 PM (#537788) Subject: RE: BS: Shatner Concedes!!!! From: Little Hawk Seriously??? That's what a "chad" is? Obviously I did not spend enough time watching CNN investigate the friggin Florida election results! Matter of fact, I spent no time doing so. If I had a TV I would ritually disembowel it and turn it into a fish tank or something genuinely useful. Gloredhel, Bill has you down on his hate list too. :-) - LH |
|
29 Aug 01 - 07:51 PM (#537801) Subject: RE: BS: Shatner Concedes!!!! From: Gloredhel Believe me, I didn't watch CNN either. I read in my local newspaper that, apparently, some guy from my hometown invented something to do with that system of voting, and he was being blamed for all sorts of problems, etc. If he still lived here, I'm sure he wouldn't ever be able to invent anything again...some friends of mine would see to that. |

29 Aug 01 - 08:31 PM (#537818) Subject: RE: BS: Shatner Concedes!!!! From: Little Hawk Ah...I see. It's my opinion that our present system of two-or-more party political campaigns is a grotesquely bad way of governing a society. Not to say that it isn't preferable to a one-party dictatorship, but it's still a very bad system, because it divides the public against one another and perpetuates the division generation after generation, while building huge money driven power blocks to strive against one another and delude the hapless public with false promises. The only reason people think it's normal and okay to do this is because they are used to it, and haven't seen something better. Be assured, there is something much better, but I expect I will not see it in this incarnation. - LH |
|
29 Aug 01 - 10:11 PM (#537863) Subject: RE: BS: Shatner Concedes!!!! From: hesperis I thought that a "chad" is a fish... or the name of a friend of mine. But I could be wrong about the fish. |

31 Aug 01 - 06:02 PM (#539286) Subject: RE: BS: Shatner Concedes!!!! From: Amos If a thread dies on the forum, and no-one notices, does it still make a death-rattle?
If Shatner dies in his sleep tonight and no-one told Little Hawk, would anybody care?
But soft -- history has a way of fooling us all. Imagine in 2070, a revival of archaic film-faddery, people laughing themselves sick over the primitive but somehow impassioned myths of ancient Terra and arguing over whether or not "Friends" ever appeared on cable or was it black and white? Following which a cult following builds up, and eventually as the young culties of 2070 grow to power, finally in the middle of the biggest city on Luna, right in the intersection of Dome 1 and Dome 2, a giant statue is erected memorializing the gargantuan, overblown memory of the very first Captain of a star ship. Well, a Terran star ship.
So, LH, let the thread die in peace and silence. But never give up hope!!
Regards,
A |

The problem is that the people on this forum are severely prejudiced, plus there was voting fraud on a massive scale from the so-called staff of the NYCFTTS. I happen to know that their entire staff consists of an incontinent old crank, a disaffected possum, a little pissant, and several imaginary companions. If the WSSBA had behaved in a similarly dishonest fashion, Bill would have won by a landslide! - LH |
