I've got a question (Score:2, Funny)
Hello Mr. Shatner. I was wondering, having lived under a rock for the past 10 years, I'm new to this whole internets thing. I'd like to go a vacation, but I'm not sure I can afford one. Is there any website out there that can let me name my price instead of them giving it to me?

If you had a pony, what single trick would you teach it? Do you think said pony could make a living out of it for forty long years and how would you recommend they go about it?

I got this one.
Pretty sure Mr. Shatner would reply like this:
"Well Mr. Arcite, firstly thanks for being a fan. Secondly, up the dosage on whatever meds you are on. Please. You referred to me by my real name, but then actually asked me about my experiences in a movie as if it existed. This is why Trek conventions need security, or why I am glad they have one.
Normally, I would say get a life, but in your case I would say pick a life."

He's already been asked that. Here's his response
I thought it was very funny, and I thought the audience that they portrayed was totally real, but the actors that they were pretending to be were totally unrecognizable. Certainly I don't know what Tim Allen was doing. He seemed to be the head of a group of actors, and for the life of me I was trying to understand who he was imitating. The only one I recognized was the girl playing Nichelle Nichols.

Denny, (I mean, Mr. Shatner),
Pray tell, what Scotch and which cigars were yours and Alan's preference?
And thank you, for the inspiration, the Emerson quotes, and being a big part of my life.
Warm regards,
Adam
