Celebrity roasts tend to get pretty blue, so I’m not gonna post any links here. If you want to see clips of the William Shatner roast that aired Sunday, you’ll have to go poking around on YouTube, etc. on your own. But I do enjoy me some roast celebrity. I’ve seen more than one reference to Shatner’s weight-gain, but, unbelievably, I haven’t seen anyone make the following crack:
“What happened to you? It looks like they set phasers on Bloat.”
Okay, I’ll stop now.
A nod to Kierkegaard and Walker Percy: existentialist tomfoolery, political satire, literary homage, word mongering, a year-round summer reading club, Dylanesque music bits, apocalyptic marianism, poetry, fiction, meta-porn, a prisoner work-release program.

Thanks. Made my evening. Will share with my children. (As I did Swimming…). Keep up the good work.

Thank YOU, Mr. McCullough. I’ll try.
Yes, I thought it was from the Roast at first. Nice.
You need to get out to youtube and find Shatner singing “Rocket Man.” SFW and unbelievably funny. Arguably funnier than Broadway Joe Namath, being interviewed on the sideline during a football game, telling Suzi Kolber of ESPN that he wants to kiss her and he has no interest in talking about the struggling Jets.
