Subject: BS: Shatner PO'ed From: Rapparee Date: 22 Oct 08 - 10:42 PM LOS ANGELES (AP) -- William Shatner is setting his phaser to stun against his old "Star Trek" co-star George Takei. In a video posted on Shatner's Web site Wednesday, he lashed out at Takei for not inviting him to his wedding last month. The 77-year-old Kirk said Takei, who played Enterprise helmsman Sulu, apparently harbors a grudge against him that kept him from being invited to Takei's nuptials. "The whole thing makes me feel badly," Shatner said in the video. "Poor man. There is such a sickness there. It's so patently obvious that there is a psychosis there. I don't know what his original thing about me was. I have no idea." Takei and Brad Alman tied the knot Sept. 15. "Star Trek" alums Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig - who played Uhura and Chekhov, respectively - were among the attendees at the multicultural ceremony at the Japanese American National Museum. Takei and Altman had previously stated that Shatner was invited to their wedding, but he never RSVPed. "It is unfortunate that Bill was unable to join us for our wedding as he indeed was invited to attend," Takei responded. "It is our hope that at this point he joins us in voting no on Proposition 8, which seeks to eliminate the fundamental right for same-sex couples to marry in California." Shatner said he felt he never knew Takei when they worked together on the original TV series and later in the "Star Trek" films. The "Boston Legal" co-star also attacked Takei's decision to come out of the closet later in life, saying "Who cares? Be gay. Don't be gay. That's up to you, George." |

Subject: RE: BS: Shatner PO'ed From: Rapparee Date: 23 Oct 08 - 09:15 AM I only bring this to the attention of The Group because I know full well that William Shatner is a Guiding Icon to some Mudcatters. |

Subject: RE: BS: Shatner PO'ed From: Rapparee Date: 23 Oct 08 - 09:16 AM This isn't a pressing matter, but did you ever notice how easily an "icon" can become an "iron"? |

Conan: "It was just a show" GT: "I'm the one who knew how to fly the thing, all he did was say Sulu, Take us outa here" Conan: "But it's not a real ship." GT: "I should've had my own ship years ago." Conan: "You're starting to scare me..." etc..... |

Subject: RE: BS: Shatner PO'ed From: Little Hawk Date: 23 Oct 08 - 12:47 PM This is a vitally important piece of news, allright. Riveting. The entire staff of the WSSBA is in a ferment over it. Most of us agree that Shatner has a right to be irritated with Takei, but there are a few lonely Takei backers here who keep whining and sniveling and going on and on about Shatner being "arrogant" and "egocentric" and "engaging in delusions of grandeur". What a bunch of losers! We may have to issue a Shatneric Bull (similar to a Papal Bull) and have these malcontents expelled from the campus. I'm worried that the Shatner/Takei imbroglio may derail the entire American election process by supplanting it in the daily news over the next couple of weeks. That wouldn't be good. People might forget to go out and vote. |

Subject: RE: BS: Shatner PO'ed From: Cluin Date: 23 Oct 08 - 11:56 PM There probably wasn't room for Shat's head in the venue. |

Subject: RE: BS: Shatner PO'ed From: JennieG Date: 24 Oct 08 - 02:24 AM SRS, the Ozzie term for Speedos is budgie smugglers. (Aussiespeak alert - budgie - short for budgerigar - small parakeet) Kind of adds a new slant on "Beam me up Scottie". Cheers JennieG |

Be gay. Don't be gay. That's up to you, George." How is that attacking his decision? Merely a statement of ho-hum. If anything, I suppose it's the PC thing to say. Dave Oesterreich |

Subject: RE: BS: Shatner PO'ed From: Little Hawk Date: 24 Oct 08 - 09:55 PM It's the obvious thing to say, isn't it? I agree with Shatner wholeheartedly when it comes to those sentiments. |
