The Shat! It's your day!

[Mister Bent]

On March 22, 1931 the world was graced with the birth of the original "Made of Awesome" guy, William Alan Shatner.

That's right! Today is the 80th birthday of the Shat!

I became a fan during his beauty years as the original James Tiberius Kirk:

Maybe he first caught your attention during the early days of toupee experimentation, and TJ Hooker - look at that amazing rug!

Or perhaps you came to know The Shat in his later, aged, bloated - but still fantastic! - Denny Crane, years:

But the talent doesn't end there, The Shat is a true Renaissance man, including the breeding and showing of both American Saddlebreds and Quarter horses,
playing on the World Poker Tour and passing a kidney stone in 2005. All that is in addition to his musical career!

One of my personal favorites - part song, part dramatic reading - Elton John's Rocketman.

What are you trying to say?

Not a fan of The Bent's personal role model? (Less the hair pieces.)

Remember: Canada owns the rights to him so you handsy Americans need to back off a wee bit.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm............be still my palpitating heart!

How could one NOT be in complete adoration of His weapon! TOTAL Shatopia!

[Mister Bent]

Amazing...but...true. Believe it!

In a Star Trek episode entitled “Operation: Annihilate!,” Shatner played the body of Kirk’s dead brother, George.

Shatner was not given a role in J.J. Abram’s 2009 film Star Trek. He then refused to see it in theaters.

In a role that wasn't much of a stretch from reality, Shatner played a womanizing alien known as “Big Giant Head” on 3rd Rock from the Sun (which earned him an Emmy nomination).

In 2004 Shatner photographed playmate Deanna Brooks for Playboy magazine.

And the most amazing Shat fact, showing his deeply humanitarian nature, Shatner sold the kidney stone he passed in 2005 for $75,000. The money went toward building a Habitat for Humanity home in northern Louisiana.

I love the Shatster.

I prefer his more recent work.

By more recent work, I mean the roles he's finally given up trying to act while doing and is just himself.

Cuz he's awesome.

[hpychick]

Seeing this thread made me chuckle. (Yes, I almost said Shat. lol)

I love him, and his ability to laugh at himself and find a way to make it lucrative!

[Arwen]

I love the Shat. I do. I can't help myself.
He's.
So.

I was reading comments after some newspaper article on The Shat's birthday. Totally laughed out loud at one comment: "I'd still do you at 80!"

Damn, Bent. You must be even older than me!

Yes! Exactly!

Damn, Bent. You must be even older than me!

It's possible. Like Bill, I have a very well-rounded education. Or I could just be old.
