Plus that and I have a personally autographed copy of the Star Trek original technical manual….. yes I do. :)

Opening bids? Kidding. I have to bury it with my husband. I’m sure he’ll be in no position to know if I do it or not!

And Jay, it works because you are defending the underdog. It wouldn’t be as good as if you were slagging him off. On the flip side, hitting a popular target like Cage or Hanks gets you the subversive votes, too.

The Roast of Shatner was excellent when I saw it last year on Comedy Central.

I completely agree that Lampanelli is one of the funniest people around. And I still love how offended Andy Dick gets at every gay joke made about him.

What I loved best was the roast that Shatner gave. He hung with all of them. And had one of the best jokes about Nichelle Nichols where he managed to break about every taboo possible.

Nice work Kirk

“Son, that ‘writing’ thing is fine and all, but just make sure you’ve got something to fall back on.”

Come to think of it, that wasn’t very helpful at all. Just do the opposite of that.

I wrote this in twenty minutes on Friday afternoon; basically the last possible minute before I had to walk out the door for the weekend. I had zero confidence in it, and hoped it would just be ignored. And yet you guys dug it. If I can figure out just what it is I did right here, maybe I can do it again on a regular basis.</p> <p>Let me know...</p> Wow, I gotta say, I’m amazed by which pieces people take to, and which they don’t.
