Whereas, at the WSSBA, you find those who never burned at all....


Let me offer you this fine quote from a REAL mentor, Mister Jack London, American author:

I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather
That my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze
Than it should be stifled by dryrot.

I would rather be a splendid meteor,
Every atom of me in magnificent glow,
Than a sleepy and permanent planet.

The proper function of mankind is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time."


A simple sentiment, but far beyond the ken of your sleepy-planet hero.

There are those who claim that William Shatner died the first time he stepped in front of a television camera. . . .

That is unquestionably an excellent quote from Jack London, Amos. Impressive.

Yep...Shatner's feet held to the fire! Maybe Scottie can beam him somewhere safe.

Thanks, Amos. It's always fun watching Leonard and Bill pick on each other like that.

I can't bring myself to start another Shat thread but am amazed that no one (read: Little Hawk) is salivating at the prospect of Sunday's Roast on Comedy Central.

SINS, I've seen the previews, and it looks like it's going to be great. There's that line about what the previous roast of Pamela Anderson and Shat's have in common: neither can act, but they both have big boobs. I think they're being nice to Little Hawk, as he doesn't have a TV.

Comedy Central has leaked a bit of the ending where the Boulder police show up and arrest him in connection with the JonBenet Ramsey case. I have always known Shatner was a preeevert...........

Some one he loved, on learning of WS's tragic demise.

The sheep is obviously quite angry that the swing keeps coming back for more, and has no intention of backing down. How the swing feels about the matter is not clear.

Sort of the way some people feel about ol'Bill. Maybe that's why the video came up when I googled William Shatner?

The sheep, as you put it Janie, is not "someone he loved" -- it is clear that it is a ram. The love object must have been the swing set.

From The Scofflaws:

*** William Shatner ***

He got a fine tan shirt with an emblem on the chest,
the interstellar girls all like him the best.

Captain of the crew and he knows kung fu
and he did Joan Collins in 1932.

Really just an actor and a genius to boot,
he never gets to fire when the enemy shoots.

Ends each show looking neat and clean
after staring down the barrel of the Doomsday Machine.

I really like the one where he reads the Constitution
after ending all the fighting in the future revolution.

William (Shatner!)
William (Shatner!)
William (Shatner!)
William...
