I’ve never seen anyone enjoy being called a cocksucker more than George Takei during the Shatner roast- good for him 🙂 Also, I used to agree about Adam West on Family Guy, but now I think that he’s so out of it that he’s not in on the joke. ---

[QUOTE=adam yax] Speaking of Timm, Adam West did a great job as the voice of The Grey Ghost (the childhood inspiration of a young Bruce Wayne) on B:TAS. [/QUOTE] I remember that episode. Seems like a fiting tribute to Adam West. 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=Frylock] Well, what do you mean? What happened? -FrL- [/QUOTE] Maybe Shatner got tired of doing appearances in star trek conventions and was cranky ---

[QUOTE=Marley23] He looked upset about the gay jokes people were making about him at that roast, and eventually he got out of his chair and started licking people. Supposedly he bit somebody backstage, too. Maybe he really does have a sense of humor about himself and he’s just on drugs. [/QUOTE] I just thought he was being silly. Are there other reports of Andy Dick taking things too seriously, though? -FrL- ---

[QUOTE=Bryan Ekers] At the Razzie ceremony, she was holding her Oscar (Best Actress 2002 for _Monster’s Ball_), which to me makes it ten times funnier. [/QUOTE] She also prepared a speech, which was closely patterned on her Oscar speech. In it she thanks the producers by saying “I want to thank Warner Brothers for putting me in a peice of shit, God-awful movie.” You have to like someone who jumps into the joke with both feet. ---

[QUOTE=Frylock] I just thought he was being silly. Are there other reports of Andy Dick taking things too seriously, though? [/QUOTE] I was going by the telecast - I thought it stopped being silly after the first time and got creepy - and the story told by the reporter he allegedly groped and assaulted after the roast. ---

I looked up the Halle Berry acceptance speech on youtube. What I found was pretty funny, but unfortunately, the video is split into parts and even though they are numbered consecutively 1 through 7, there seems to be a gap between part 6 and 7–like there should be a part “6.5” so to speak. Anyone know if the complete video is available somewhere? -FrL- ---

[QUOTE=Frylock] Well, what do you mean? What happened? -FrL- [/QUOTE] Captain Kirk used to own a Jaguar. I used to be a Jaguar technician. Yup I was his Jag’s Scotty. (ask me about some of the warrenty claims we wrote up) One time his car needed a turn signal switch. He decided to wait for the car. I grabbed the part and a screwdriver and started going to town. He and I made idle chit chat during the process. At one point he complimented me on my mechanical abilities. I thanked him and said that if I got any better he would have to hire me to work on his star ship. It got real quiet in the car, and I swear the temp went down at least 10 degrees. I got the impression he was very pissed. ---

I got the impression he was very pissed. [/QUOTE] It’s too bad he was pissed, but I congratulate you. If I had the chance to say something like that to William Shatner, I know I would- I’d regret it for the rest of my life if I didn’t.
