I don't want to live in a world without William Shatner

[DerekG]

This is not an alarmist thread. Near as I can tell, he's doing alright. But even the Shat can't outwit Death, and I bristle at the prospect.

Hang in there, big fella.

1. He shall live forever care of Tambourine Man.

We shall never forget him/that.

2. Is he sick?

Is he going to end up in one of those wheelchairs where he has to blink once for yes and two for no?

3. If he does, it will be the most melodramatic blinking the world has yet witnessed.

I love Shatner. He's made a career off one great role and a personality that merges irony and farce, but makes it charming. His poetic reading of Sara Palin was tearfully beautiful. :rofl:

5. I have just one thing to say to that...

THERE'S SOMETHING ON THE WING!!!

[pitohui]

4. he's 79 or 80 (i've heard both)

actually i think he's in great shape for his age

6. I have to think people in the 23rd century will live longer than us.

:evilgrin:

7. Kirk

He will always "boldly go where no man has gone before" in my mind!

(Of course the words "no man" were replaced by "no one" in the intro to Star Trek:TNG).

8. When he dies, I want to be the first to say...

..."He's dead, Jim."

I missed my chance when Charlton Heston died to say, "Gun removed from Heston's cold, dead fingers."

11. SOYLENT GREEN IS HESTON!!!! n/t

9. Shatner will die one day, but his toupee will live on forever.

12. That's the mask for Mike Myers in all those Halloween movies

Or is that Jason from Friday the 13th?

Due to its shoestring budget, the prop department had to use the cheapest mask that they could find in the costume store: a Captain Kirk (William Shatner) mask. They later spray-painted the face white, teased out the hair, and reshaped the eye holes.

10. Neither does he. nt

[hippywife]

13. I already do...

14. Who will tell us about huge savings on hotel and airfare?
