William Shatner, William Shatner–addendum, of course

June 22, 2006 By pia

The Ommnipotent Poobah has a very interesting, and different post up at BIO It goes along with my theme and is-well check it out. He’s funny–and comment please. 🙂

After two continuous years of dental visits, the sixth and supposedly most minor oral surgery has me looking like a prizefighter–chin area–but one with the best teeth in New York, summer edition. Has me feeling like a prizefighter who has been knocked around a few too many times. Am finally going to have my James Spader film festival. Please understand that my comments would be sub par. Won’t be commenting until the weekend I think, when I begin to feel human again.

Have a box of “Swiss Liqueur chocolate” filled with Stoli. Bought them at the drugstore because I thought I loved the box, and that the candy would be hard. As Stoli has been my vodka of choice since my 20’s thought it would be funny. The thought of biting into anything sweet is truly repulsive. Can’t figure out how they’re supposed to be eaten as the vodka streams out–sort of like a jello shot. Guess you’re supposed to share. Or I have been wrong all my life, and putting an entire square of chocolate in my mouth is acceptable. Not planning on experimenting.

William Shatner is being inducted into the TV Hall of Fame, and will be roasted on Comedy Central

I began watching The 4400 because I had to go to the Sci Fi event for it where I met some people who told me about their encounters with aliens. One backed Lucia’s assertion that more people are abducted where Webers used to be on Broadway near West 72nd Street than any other place because it was so crowded. She had heard that on the Sci Fi channel several months before the event at The Regency where all the drinks had the iridescent faux blue ice cubes that look so garish with diet coke.

She had also heard that all of Broadway is prime alien picking country, and did lock her windows, and do more to stop aliens from attacking her and/or Little Luce, since their building fronts Broadway. As I live two Avenues west, I wasn’t worried. However many people who live or work in my building have morphed into kinder, more gentle people in the past year. Do have to wonder.

I believe that there is a Fidelity where Webers used to be and always mean to ask if they have heard about any alien abductions. But what if they are? So much to worry about when aliens, not of the undocumented kind, posssibly enter into my life.

I didn’t know then that Joel Gretsch who plays Tom Baldwin on The 4400 is Shatner’s son in law. Have read interviews with him where he rambled on about how great a father in law and grandfather Shatner is. Some people just have all the luck.

While Shatner occupies a big space in my heart, James Spader does practically own it. Or could if I could find out where to send the key. Oh, right, first I would have to find it.

    Shatner hits me off as a guy who would be a great friend or relative, in this case a Father In Law and grandparent.

    I’ll be at that roast.

    Figuratively speaking.

    I just don’t see what you girls like about Spader. I respect him as a fine actor; he does not pander to the media and seems to choose his roles because of their value to him. I still don’t see why some females have a special place in their hearts for him.

    Jacob I’m breaking my no moderating rule–actually have a few times lately

    James Spader is amazing. The movies with Andrew McCarthy were cute, but then Sex Lies & Videotape, White Palace, Secretary and a few others were frankly women wet dreams movies

    Got a comment last year for liking him since he gained weigh and how deluded and sick I was. He still does it to me. Not when in a flamingo costume but….

    I remember seeing “Sex Lies and Videotapes” on televison on high school. I think that is when I fell in love with James Spader.

    I think Aliens came once in awhile to 25 Union Square West……….or maybe they lived there…………yea that was it they lived there.

    When I was twelve I wrote a letter to William Shatner, to ask why he had chest hair on TJ Hooker but not on Star Trek.

    AND GOT A REPLY.

    Now THAT’S class.

    Wm Shatner is awesome.. I hope I manage to catch that!

    I happened to watch ‘Brother From Another Planet’ last night, too, so this fits perfectly.. lol What a great movie. Stay safe Pia, and remember that tinfoil keeps them away from your thoughtwaves.. 😉

    And did you know Shatner’s kidney stones apparently sold recently for $20,000. Why?

    I have shown horses with Shatner, and at horse shows, he is just another owner/exhibitor. That does a tremendous amount of charity work.

About Me

I live in the South, not South Florida, a few blocks from the ocean, and two blocks from the main street. It's called Main Street. Amazes me too.

I'm from New York. I mostly lived in the Mid-Upper East Side, and the heart of the Upper West Side. It amazes me when people talk about how scared they were of Times Square in the 1970's and 1980's.

As my mother said: "know the streets, look out and you'll be fine."

What was scary was the invasion of the crack dens into "good buildings in good 'hoods." And the greedy landlords who did everything they could to get good tenants out of buildings.

I'm a Long Island girl, and proud of it now.
Then I hated everything about the suburbs. Yet somehow I lived in a few great Long Island Sound towns after high school.
