HAPPY BIRTHDAY JT!!
Wow!! It seems like it was just yesterday when he turned 90! (They grow up so fast!) Anyway, I hope I can look as young as he does at that age.
What an amazing person...and he is as modest as they come. He really made a difference in our world...and outside our world.
I knew it would come down to William Shatner and George Takei for last man standing.

Happy 93rd, Shat. But please lose the climate-wokeness.
Will Shatner be the first man to make a suborbital flight _and_ make it to 100?
One thing I like about Shatner is that I’ve never seen him “let the old man in.”
I always get the impression he has something to live for and look forward to and that counts for a lot towards one’s longevity.
God Bless him!! Happy Birthday Mr. Shatner!!
Rock on Bill.
Some of Shatner‘s fellow actors on Star Trek say he was a bit snobbish. But then again, I read an article about when he was shooting a scene on a movie set. I forget the name of the movie. I’m getting old, too.
When all the shooting was done, Shatner handed all the people on the set (actors, crew, etc.) an envelope with a note of thanks and a good amount of cash.
So, yeah. I think that says more about his personality than anything else.
That was one of the proudest moments of my life, to be appreciated by William Shatner for being him for Halloween :-)
His crowning moment on SNL
William Shatner: You know, before I answer any more questions there’s something I wanted to say. Having received all your letters over the years, and I’ve spoken to many of you, and some of you have traveled... y’know... hundreds of miles to be here, I’d just like to say... GET A LIFE, will you people? I mean, for crying out loud, it’s just a TV show! I mean, look at you, look at the way you’re dressed! You’ve turned an enjoyable little job, that I did as a lark for a few years, into a COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME!
[ a crowd of shocked and dismayed Trekkies.... ]
I mean, how old are you people? What have you done with yourselves?
[ to “Ears” ] You, you must be almost 30... have you ever kissed a girl?
[ “Ears” hangs his head ]
I didn’t think so! There’s a whole world out there! When I was your age, I didn’t watch television! I LIVED! So... move out of your parent’s basements! And get your own apartments and GROW THE HELL UP! I mean, it’s just a TV show dammit, IT’S JUST A TV SHOW!
Charlie: Are- are you saying then that we should pay more attention to the movies?
William Shatner: NO!!! THAT’S NOT WHAT I’M SAYING AT ALL!!! HEY, YOU GUYS ARE... THE LAMEST BUNCH... I’VE NEVER SEEN... [ walks away from podium ] I can’t believe these people... I mean, I really can’t understand what’s....
[ Emcee argues with Shatner off-mike, shoves him, Shatner shoves back harder.... ]
Second Emcee: Uh... that was William Shatner, ladies and gentlemen. Uh, I’d like to remind you Trekkers that we have some fine refreshments from all over the galaxy... Coke, Diet Coke, Bubble Up, Orange, I believe. We....
[ Meanwhile, Emcee waves the contract in front of Shatner, who then reluctantly returns to the podium.... ]
William Shatner: Of course, that speech was a “re-creation” of the “Evil Captain Kirk” from um... Episode, um... [ Emcee whispers ] THIRTY-SEVEN... uhh... called... [ another whisper ] “The Enemy Within.”
[ Trekkies get happy, applaud ]
William Shatner: Yuh, Yuh, so thank you... and, and... Live Long and Prosper...
[ Trekkies make Vulcan “peace sign”.... ]
William Shatner: So everybody... set your phasers on stun, cause... THIS CONVENTION’S AHEAD WARP FACTOR NINE, Y’KNOW? RIGHT! ALL RIGHT! WARP FACTOR NINE!
I heard he went 93 million miles with his left blinker on.
This has an age statement on it, which is as absurd as the age statement on a video of fine art. I truly do not understand these YouTube censors. Garbage goes thru and THESE get age statements?

Come on, this is great, you just know it:
93, it’s the המגילה HaMegillah highway for the timing.
Captain Kirk is world-famous for being the face of that “five-year mission” — to explore strange new worlds (Big Dig)...
Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has gone before!

Then the series kept on going forever anyway. It’s like those years of famine Joseph told the family about. Five years to go, but when was the end noted?
That kind of stuff always bothers me. Like it had kept on going but nobody realized.
He’s the Shat!
