Happy Birthday to "Vic 20 Man" William Shatner!
« on: March 22, 2004, 02:39:46 PM »
It is William Shatners birthday today, and he is 73! :-) He was known for starring in popular sci fi series Star Trek as Captain James T. Kirk, but to many of us, he will always be known for famously advertising the Commodore Vic 20 in the early 80's. Here is one of his famous quotes:

Quote
"Why buy just a video game?"


Quote
"The wonder computer of the 1980s"


Vic 20 Man in action

Have a pint on me Mr Shatner! :pint:

What a guy...

I once saw him "sing" the Beatles' "Lucy in the Sky With Diamond".  Truly a masterpiece.  

Or is that hairpiece?

@Blobby,

Lass, I hope you're not a part of the 'bring back Kirk' entourage. I have this wonderful image of you in my mind and that will just kill it.  :lol:

OMG Shatner is 73? Props to him for still being hot!
Being the Captain Kirk in my little circle of friends I can truly respect the man and the many characters he had portrayed!

Rock On T.J.!

Vic 20 Man?

Why do I get the feeling that's what nerds of far the future are going to call the likes of our generation?

A bit after Neanderthal Man, but just before Console Man...:-)
