Mechamaniac Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Shatner is the coolest. I assume everyone here has heard my personal "Shatner is the bomb" story? This is slightly old news though, I read about the intent to do this a while ago. Besides the money is going to charity so it's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeszekely Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Besides the money is going to charity so it's all good. Yeah, I mean, it'd be one thing if Shatner was just so full of himself that he figured he could sell it and use the money to build a statue of Kirk on his front lawn. But since it's going to charity, then it becomes kind of admirable. I mean, anything that can help the unfortunate without hurting anyone in the process is respectable. Shatner is the coolest. I assume everyone here has heard my personal "Shatner is the bomb" story? No, do tell. If no one else wants to here it, feel free to PM me.

But since it's going to charity, then it becomes kind of admirable. I mean, anything that can help the unfortunate without hurting anyone in the process is respectable. If he wanted a statue, he coulda just made one out of the kidney stone. Be the only Kirk merchandise in the world that was the 100% genuine article. "GoldenPalace.com originally offered $15,000 for the stone but Shatner turned it down, noting that his "Star Trek" tunics have commanded more than $100,000." His counteroffer was accepted." Ya know, I'm not quite sure that bodily waste and TV props belong in the same category... But really, I have to applaud anyone that can sell a kidney stone. He could've used the 25 grand to wipe his ass and I'd still applaud, just because he managed to sell somebody a piss crystal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundown Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 Ya know, I'm not quite sure that bodily waste and TV props belong in the same category... To bodily go, where no man has gone before... I have to admire the fact that Shatner's willing to do this, despite it being kind of tacky. And in the end, the tacky's actually part of the charm, as Shatner willingly exploits himself for a laugh and charity. Wait, so you're actually suppose to... pass these things? Through there? *looks down* But... the orifice... is not... that big. O_o If I had been the one that bought his kidney stone I would have named it KHAN!!! He would probably have screamed it while passing it too.....KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANN! Hahahah. This actually had me stifling laughter in the office.

Hurin Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 (edited) I think we've referred to it before, but has anyone ever actually posted a link to Shatner's bizarre, compelling, and (unintentionally) hilarious "interpretation" of Elton Johnn's "Rocket Man?" Well, in case anyone still hasn't seen this Shatner gem: Here you go. Now, somehow, somewhere, some day, someone will find on an old VHS tape Chris Elliott's hilarious parody of this performance that he did like 15 years ago on Late Night w/ David Letterman. But, what was so hilarious about it was that it was a parody without actually changing a thing. He played it completely straight, and just did Shatner's performance word-for-word, gesture-for-gesture, expression-for-expression. And it was just drop-dead hilarious. But, until that finally resurfaces some day in the fanciful future, here's Stewie Griffin doing an abbreviated tribute: Link Edited January 19, 2006 by Hurin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeszekely Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Mike, look up the "Shatner shenanigans" thread, I think he posted it somewhere in there. Thanks for the tip. That really is a good story, because I get the feeling that a lot of Hollywood actors would have either wanted paid or wanted a ton of publicity for doing what Shatner did, while Shatner did it because, for all his foibles, he's just a good guy.

reddsun1 Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 shatner vs walken.'nuff said. 361967[/snapback] hmm, I hadn't considered that scenario. But that wouldn't be fair at all. It'd have to be West and Shatner vs. Walken--Christopher Walken is tha man!! That is, until Chuck Norris' foot decelerated from the speed of light just long enough to kill every one in the room.

Hurin Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Supposedly, many women who have given birth and passed a kidney stone say that they would prefer to give birth. So, men actually can experience worse than the accute pain of childbirth at some point in our otherwise untraumatized lives. But, of course, we don't intentionally inflict it upon ourselves as women are expected to do. I also wonder if the pain of passing a kidney stone is actually worse, or there are just more techniques and procedures available to a women during child birth for pain relief.

H 362091[/snapback] Well, given the female reproductive system is designed to pass a baby and the urinary tract isn't designed to pass a kidney stone... There's also anecdotal evidence that at least some women experience orgasms during the birthing process. So they don't get to complain. I think the main point with pregnancy is those of us with Y chromosomes don't run around with a parasite growing inside us for 9 months mucking with our hormonal balance and making us eat pickles and ice cream with ketchup.
