He does the best version of "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" you have ever heard.

Ever hear his "beat" reading of Sarah Palin's "Going Rogue"? Even more awesome-er.

One of the advantages of being a Captain is being able to ask for advice without necessarily having to take it.

All the best to The Shat. He’s my go-to guy when I need a chuckle.

I really admire a man who takes any job available for SO long that he becomes bigger than all of them.

Canadaian Supermarket ads?
Esperanto movies?
One shot Guest star on TV antology series?
Backup to starter replacing Jeffrey Hunter?
Joke cameo in Airplane II?
Oldsmobile ads?
T.J. Hooker?
Reciting Bernie Taupin lyrics while smoking at the Sci-Fi convention (with Bernie face-palming)?
Starring as an aging demented lawyer?
Having an argument with “God” in a movie after “Saving the Whales” in a prvious flick?
Cartoon voiceover work?
One time shots on spy shows, etc.?
Dying in an ad for auctioning airplane tickets?
Lending his name to a series of books?

And much more than I even know.

Best to you Admiral Kirk.

Indeed, his recent YouTube sparring with Carrie Fisher was most entertaining. I'm enjoying his return to the Priceline ads, especially with Kaley Cuoco alongside.

Happy birthday, Bill.

Shatner is an enigma, as you say, he is bigger than all his parts.
Truly fearless and with a healthy sense of humor.

A wonderful thing is a Bill Shatner;
Bill Shatner’s a wonderful thing.

My bottom is made out of spring
I’m bouncy, bouncy, bouncy, bouncy,

The most wonderful thing
about Bill Shatner is:
I’m the only one!
