Cassie did you see William Shatner!?!

[curiousa2z]

I was just about to head up to bed and there he was at the closing ceremony of the Olympics!

 

[curiousa2z]

He looked good.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Did he sing like Jackie Chan did at the closing of the summer games?

 

[curiousa2z]

nope, but he did a typical Shat-like schtick....completely straight-faced and waiting for the crowd to get the humour. They got one joke, at least. Foreigners, eh.

Nobody gets the Shat like Cassie does.

So Sunday I'm watching this documentary about a Down Syndrome man called Jefftown (His name is Jeffrey Towne) and how he makes his way through life.

Not too bad, little slow moving. Interestingly enough, Jeff's only obsessions are drinking beer, pornos, watching pro wrestling, comic books and Star Trek. In one scene he actually goes to a convention and bum rushes Shat's security, gets through them to shake Kirk's hand as he's leaving the stage.

So my obvious question is: which current or former TK poster reminds us most of Jeff? I already checked the mirror, it isn't me (I was pretty relieved, too) but that leaves a lot of candidates...and further, does this list of pastimes make Jeff Towne an ultra cool retarded guy or does it make some of us ultra retarded cool people?

 

[curiousa2z]

the answer is 42.

 

[Donovan]

The answer is always 42.

I like that one guy "He gets free beer, free clothes, gets to fondle women without getting in trouble."

He's clearly thinking, why can't that be me??

In the movie itself it's surprising how many of his "friends" and coworkers come off as more retarded than Jeff. I liked it, but I work in the field so I have that background. But some of the surrounding players were irritating, especially jealous kid you talked about. His bit in the film is longer...

I didn't even realise Michael J Fox was Canadian, but he spoke as well.

Michael J. Fox was supposed to be Billy the Kid in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.

 

[Cassie]

I MISSED THE CLOSING CEREMONIES

 

[Gagh]

Neil Young was there too!

 

[Donovan]

Michael J Fox is gonna play Shakespeare I heard.

GET IT? Because he shakes and stuff! HAH! Parkinson's humor!

 

[CaptainWacky]

I don't like pornos.

 

[Donovan]

I don't like pornos.

Don't get defensive, you're not even in the top twent-- the top ten-- the top five most retarded posters here.

 

[CaptainWacky]

That says a lot!
