It has been over a year since Little Hawk introduced the idea of Shatner as a Mudcat Icon. At first, it was a running joke that concerned Shatner as the premier example of "the manly man". Soon, LH was running a popularity contest between Shatner and Spaw. Reluctantly, many of us were drawn in. At first, the entire Shatner concept seemed like a whim, but soon it became clear that Little Hawk was not letting up. His attempt to incorporate Shatnerization as part of the daily Mudcat Lexicon met with a mixed response, but soon, other Mudcatters were using the "Shatner" keyword as guaranteed laugh-getter.

So here is my question : Has Shatner indeed reached the level where he is a candidate for admission to Official Mudcat Icon Status alongside Tiples, Possums, Paw and Cletus, the Neil Young Center, the Tavern with its Jello Pit, Big Mick's Thong? Please vote for the following that most closely describes your opinion :

1) Yes! Shatner is a great addition to the site. The very idea cracks me up! In fact, I'm laughing right now!

2) Maybe. It's still too soon to tell. I'll wait until Shatner gets some major endorsements. What does Catspaw think, anyhow?

3) No! The very mention of Shatner gives me nausea. Let the damned Trekkies start their own website...the Vulcan Forum or Borgchat. In fact, the word Shatner should trigger an automatic Delete Response in the Mudcat Software.

Make yourself heard. Even Little Hawk could be influenced to abide by the result of this vote!
