two things

First, the very last comment to my May 5th post actually had me going for a minute -- long enough to do a whois search on the IP address and look up a certain comedian's tour schedule and confirm that he could not have been in Illinois when that comment was posted. Also, gullible is not in the dictionary.

Second, I've probably posted about this before, but Charlton Heston is really the ur-shatner. He does these crazy soliloquies in "Planet of the Apes" that are SO TOTALLY Shatner -- except that if Shatner did them, it would have that smarmy Shatner cheesiness (that individually wrapped pasteurized processed slices cheesiness).

When Heston does it, there's a whiff of cheese, but it's a whiff of mozzarella di bufula or a fine Stilton.

I know he got wacky there toward the end, but I miss Charlton Heston.
