even Mr. T dreams of being him

This one goes out to last week's anonymous commenter and everybody else who misses Shatnerday.  Big thanks to my buddy Pat for providing the original Mr. T coloring book image.  For more Captain Kirk coloring book action hit up this article or this weirder one at Plaid Stallions.

R.I.P. Shatnerday

an announcement

After serious consideration I have decided that next Saturday will be the last public observance of Shatnerday here on the ol' Gameblog. The following week I will begin a new ridiculous weekly observance featuring a different pop-culture icon. Going forward, my plan is to change subjects on a yearly basis.

Please try not to cry. You know, for the children's sake.

more Shatnerday music

Shatnerday: happy to be alive

From "The Ultimate Computer".  You'd probably have this same dumb grin on your face if you had just saved everyone's lives by betting on a space commodore's reluctance to kill.

You have the right to sing the blues.

Shatnerday all night long

Happy Shatnerday!

I used to not dig the costumes in The Motion Picture, but I've warmed up to them over the years.

Happy Shatnerday!

Shatnerday: new Shatner sitcom

I had heard that Mr. Shatner was in talks to do a show based upon a Twitter account called "Shit My Dad Says" but I didn't know it had goe anywhere until Clovis pointed out this clip on Cinerati.

William Shatner, on a sitcom, based upon a Twitter account.  Maybe Leibniz was right and we really do live in the best of all possible worlds.  Or maybe just the weirdest.
