Is there nothing William Shatner can't make better?
Happy Independence Day
Here's one of the most patriotic readings of the Constitution ever. Enjoy!
It's Been an Ego Gratifying Day, Fer Sure
If people are going to compare me to Grant Morrison and have me come out ahead, I may just develop the Shatner-esque ego I've been accused of.
International Talk Like William Shatner Day
My friend, and purveyor of at least 22% of the awesomeness on the internet, Mark Evanier, has a video on his blog about today, which is International Talk Like William Shatner Day. The day is being proposed by Maurice LaMarche, who's an absurdly talented voice over actor. You'd know him from Pinky and the Brain, or just about every impression on The Critic.
Check the link out here. Today is also the birthday of Mr. William Shatner, who all kidding aside, I think is just wonderful. The guy is 78 today, and I think he looks great. His Kirk is legendary, and his Denny Crane was just as fantastic. He's got a tremendous ability to try new things and look like he's having fun. You may not like his interview show (I haven't caught it), or his Has Been CD (which I think is just brilliant), but you've got to admire his willingness to, well, explore strange new worlds.
Happy Birthday, Bill!
