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

I pick number one.

Many people don't know the real reason for LH's obsession with Shatner. Sure, he said it was an evil experiment to warp, twist, and manipulate our delicate little minds, but that was only bravado speaking, to cover up the deeper and more poignant truth.

The real story is that Shatner is LH's natural father. That's right. You heard me. It was during Shatner's early days as a Shakespearean (I use the term loosely) actor. He was playing the part of a tree in Midsummer Night's Dream (weird Canadian experimental theater... don't ask me to explain). Hawk's mother was in the audience and she kept giving Shatner the eye. Shatner, being young and, let's face it, a bit full of himself, was swept up in the moment, and he arranged to meet the lovely young woman backstage during intermission.

Shatner didn't have time to remove the tree costume before the next act, but with the creative employment of a knot-hole conveniently situated about halfway up the trunk of the tree, the splendid example of humanity we all know and love as Little Hawk was concieved. The rest is, as we say, history.

Hawk's a great guy. Let's let him have his little hero worship, ok?
