    Supposedly, Jerry was at one of Shatner's Horse Shows and signed autographs for kids without being asked. Shatner has appreciated it every since. And it appears that he's returning the favor. I did some asking around today and this was what I was told.

    WWE has just announced that William Shatner will be inducting Jerry "The King" Lawler into the WWE Hall of Fame. Click here for the article.

     

    What in the world does William Shatner have to do with Jerry Lawler??? :dude:

    They're old friends. Don't ask me how they met, but they've been friends for awhile, according to what I have heard.

    CHOCOLATE CAKE (Diabetic)

     

    6 tablespoons margarine

    10 3/4 teaspoons Equal® for Recipes or 36 packets Equal® sweetener or

    1 1/2 cups Equal® Spoonful™

    4 ounces unsweetened chocolate

    1/3 cup skim milk

    1/3 cup apricot preserves with NutraSweet® brand sweetener or apricot

    spreadable fruit

    3 egg whites

    1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar

    1/4 cup all-purpose flour

    2 teaspoons instant espresso coffee crystals

    1/8 teaspoon salt

    1 egg yolk

    Rich Chocolate Glaze (optional, recipe follows)

    1 teaspoon vanilla

     

    Heat margarine, chocolate, milk, apricot preserves, and espresso

    crystals in small saucepan, whisking frequently, until chocolate is

    almost melted.

    Remove pan from heat; continue whisking until chocolate is melted and

    mixture is smooth. Whisk in egg yolk and vanilla; add Equal®,

    whisking until smooth.

     

    Beat egg whites and cream of tartar to stiff peaks in large bowl.

    Fold chocolate mixture into egg whites; fold in combined flour and

    salt.

     

    Lightly grease bottom of 9-inch round cake pan and line with

    parchment or baking paper. Pour cake batter into pan.

    sharp knife, which will keep cake from cracking as it cools. Cool

    the green hornet 60's tv series was theone where Bruc Lee was the sdkick wasn't it? Don't reall remember it, sounds familiar but it's before my time. Seems to me that there are so many other comic book heroes they could do movies about than the Green hornet, I would quite like to see a justice league movie myself.

     

     

    The Green Hornet TV show didn't last more than 2 seasons I believe. As for a Justice League movie, I own a TV pilot of a proposed Justice League TV series. Its pretty horrid. The Justice League consisted of Martian Manhunter, Flash, Fire, Ice, Green Lantern ( The new one, not Hal Jordan) and The Atom. The only known name was the Manhunter who was played by David Ogden Stiers.

    When was that made?

    There was an interesting question posed on another board.

    Was Trelane a "Q"? Judging by the powers that he displayed, I think it's a distinct possibility.

    What do you think?

     

    He's not a Q, but that particular character may have been the model Roddenberry used when creating Q for The Next Generation.

    Quite possible. It does make sense, since a lot of TNG's episode ideas came from the TOS episodes.

    They did quite a bit of recycling when it came to story ideas.

    I think the only pre-conceived notion held by the fans was for arcs that could deliver something worth watching. The Temporal Cold War failed to fulfill those expectations. Blaming the fans for losing interest in a storyline, I think is misguided. The fault lies with the writers. Rick Berman I'm sure might think "my work is great and the fans just don't appreciate my brilliance", after all this is a man who doesn't understand why Nemesis failed. But if the correct reasons for the failure of a storyline, and series, are not identified, then improvements can never be made. Rather than expecting the fans to conform to the storylines, the writers have to raise their game and provide material that can hold the interest of the viewers.

    Welcome to the boards, Lady Britannia. :dude:

    I found the Temporal Cold War idea interesting, but one that shouldn't be dwelled upon. It's a nice little diversion, but not enough to become a major storyline or plot.
