Miss days of yore, when men were men and dwarves were dwarves, and elves wore trousers."

Egad, William Shatner has a weblog? It was bad enough when Wesley Crusher came online, although at least he writes with a kind of simplistic honesty. Shatner's writing sounds like his Priceline.com beat poetry. "...we are all born with an awareness of death and each day brings us closer to it. That’s the joke that all humanity deals with.
