Still need more proof?

We here at Grinwout's have never been able to fathom the meaning of the following scene. The preamble to the Constitution does not contain magic words of ethical pronouncement, but merely an explanation of why this new document was being written at a time when there was already a federation of the states, and many thought that the Constitutional Convention was not a legally viable proceeding. Nevertheless, Captain Kirk brings to these sentences a ferocity usually reserved for something more overwhelming, like "all men are created equal." But who looks to Star Trek for their history lessons?



Not only were Andrew Lloyd Webber and Stephen Sondheim born on this day. So was William Shatner. Grinwout's loves William Shatner, so why haven't Lloyd Webber or Sondheim ever used him in one of their shows? He'd be great in Cats. Maybe as Old Deuteronomy. Or imagine him as Sweeney Todd! But as musicals go, maybe our fellow birthday celebrants caught this performance, and figured what he did to Camelot should not be done to them:



Never make fun of Bill Shatner, because he'll beat you to it by a mile. He's got a one-man show on Broadway now, so maybe he doesn't need a composer anymore. The show is called Shatner's World, and we may live in it, but he's its god.

Live long and prosper, Mr. Shatner.
