Shatner is just upset that the wedding invitations didn't read........ William Shatner presents a William Shatner production produced by William Shatner and directed by William Shatner........Starring William Shatner and

the betrothed couple......vows written by William Shatner

Takei and Nichelle both have a hatred for Shatner. That's what makes watching the Shatner Roast even harder to watch. Even though they are smiling, they mean every single insult they say to Bill

It makes watching the roast easier for me. Shatner's overblown ego made a lot of people fans included not like him or just not respect him. He can't seem to accept that he isn't universally loved and that he owes people an apology for how he has acted in the past. Look at his disdain of Star Trek fans for years until he found out how to make huge amounts of money off them then he liked them.

I am not holding my breath for it's return, I was around in the 70's and early 80's when it was rumored that there would be a new network anchored by a Trek TV series starring the original actors. (didn't happen) I remember the dark days between the demise of the original series and Star Trek The Motion Picture, our only communication method was the U.S. Snail, telephones and fan conventions. We heard all kinds of rumors back then and a lot of them came from, fans fertile imaginations fueled by wishful thinking, the actors and the Roddenberry's. (Gene and the actors "misspoke" a lot)

The best thing to do would be to do things "old school" to encourage the return of The Experience, write letters they carry more weight figuratively and literally than just an e-mail. Hey folks a simple keystroke will print a letter just like a simple keystroke will send an e-mail, you just have to bother with getting a stamp and putting it on en envelope.

Rumors have abounded in fandom before some of you were born and they will never stop, founded or unfounded.

It could have been Van Roy in drag

The Invaders: The Ivy Curtain

If you think about it a Bluetooth headpiece looks like some kind of Borg implant.

Pepsi is my soda of choice except when I go to my favorite deli for a corned beef on rye then it's Dr. Brown's Cream soda.

I thought about it last year when I saw a delivery truck containing a large quantity of Copperhead Ale sitting outside a liquor store.

Fried green tomatoes, fried right after they were picked from a friend's garden.

A few things to remember about PETA

They are the people that equated having a dog or cat for a pet (companion animal to use the PC term) to owning slaves. (I am my cat's servant thank you very much)

They are the people that demand that we no longer eat meat. (I think that the lack of animal protein has caused their brains to atrophy)

They have broken into labs and let animals that may have been infected with diseases out into the wild. (that spreads disease and many domestic type animals can't survive on their own) or have given these animals to people that don't have the ability or knowledge to care for them.

I belong to the OTHER PETA People Eating Tasty Animals.

Forever - Dennis Wilson

The first time I met Joanie was in 1975 or 76 at a 1 day Star Trek mini-con in Baltimore. She was a really cool lady. She could tell stories and jokes for hours on end. She made many appearances at conventions over the years and was always great with fans, but then again she was a fan. I got to talk with her several times over the years and she was always polite, funny and a great part of fandom. I still have my copy of Star Trek Lives! autographed by all of the authors at that first con. I bought that book a year or 2 before the con and never thought that I would ever get to meet the authors. That little con was my introduction to fandom and I'm glad that she had a part in introducing me to fandom.

Joanie you will be missed by all of us that were privileged to know you and we all owe you and the committee of the New York cons for your efforts, without you we would never have had all of the cons over the years and fandom would not have blossomed as it did for many years

Maybe the father caught Kor and he doesn't remember because of the whack on the head.

It will probably be a typical hollyweird overdone CGI trashfast remake. Why can't they leave it alone and try something original for a change? Can you tell that I am fed up with remakes and remakes of remakes? They wonder why movie profits are down, this is a classic example of why.

Picard: "Where's my comb?" "Beverly let's just get it on and forget what people think"

Wesley Crusher: "Captain I have no idea"

Worf: "We should try to settle this without violence"

Kirk: "I'm a virgin" "Not tonight, I have a headache"

McCoy: "Captain forget the brandy let have a cup of coffee" "He's alive Jim"

Spock: "To heck with Starfleet regulations, fire photon torpedos" "Logic? forget logic"

Scotty: "Captain, I can't fix this, let's call for a tow back to space dock" "I'd rather have vodka"

Chekov: "The flush toilet was a British inwention"

I rated it O.K. It was a pretty decent action movie but it just wasn't Star Trek.

I thought the dune buggy chase was great but it went downhill from there.

This will get me in trouble with some folks but I'm glad that Data died, he was o.k. in the first couple of seasons of TNG but after that he started getting annoying. He became the android version of Wesley, annoying and a pain in the posterior.

The scimitar looked like it was conceived by a group of drunken fans as a 4 am con party.

The "idiot" Data replacement was just that, idiotic.

I REALLY wanted to see Troi and Dr. Crusher at a traditional Betazoid wedding.

The new Enterprise, have the people at the Starfleet shipyards forgotten how to grind a weld smooth?

3) Trekkie-dom not as evolved by this point. They may have managed to save it for a third season with massive fan letters, but let's face it, Trekkies of today have much more devotion than they did in the early to mid 70's.

You're kidding, right? Back then there were more "unofficial" Star trek fan clubs than there are now, conventions that went from 1 to 3 days were springing up left and right again "unofficial". Back then we had to rely on telephones and snail-mail to do things. We didn't have the Paramount publicity machine and the internet to rely on. The original series got a third season because of a mail campaign that was spread by word of mouth. Star Wars and a huge letter writing campaign is what got us Star Trek: The Motion picture. Even though there was was no internet back then we got a lot done.

Ugh, yeah I hate that too. Makes you wonder who you can trust

I don't trust very many people anymore. I was burned by so-called friends when I hit a very bad point in my life that nearly cost me my life. I associate with a few friends that stuck by me and that's it. I talk a bit with a few folks on here in the chat room on occasion but none of you really know who and what I am about.

I wonder if Yogi enjoyed the brownies from their picnic basket?

India could never launch a rocket to the moon. If their computers had a glitch and they needed tech services they would be put on hold for 2 hours every time they called then they would be told the wrong thing the next 5 phone calls.

I had to wear a medical device when I injured my back that would put the TSA into panic mode. It was a back brace that looked like a corset , it had 8 custom bent steel bars in the back in pockets to support my back. They would probably declare those bars to be weapons.

The pot of homemade chili I am cooking.

Isn't there any creativity left in Hollyweird? They are taking one of the greatest classic science-fiction movies of all time and turning it into a piece of CGI trash.

This thing looks like Independence Day 2.

Why can't these *expletive deleted* fools leave a classic alone?

What's next? Forbidden Planet with Will Smith and Tom Cruise?

New Yankee Workshop...... NORM RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am looking for a picture of Godzilla stomping the beejezus out of Tokyo then I'll be requesting a new signature
