Hot! William Shatner

Introducing the Shatner Award. On December 20th 1986, William Shatner was the guest sponsor on SNL. In his cutting open monologue Mr. Shatner mentions that will among the most interesting aspects of this Star Trek sensation should be the conventions. The monologue dissolves into a page design fixed during the16th Annual Star Trek Convention being presented in a very convention bedroom regarding some sort of regional Holiday Inn. The highlight on the drawing will be when Mr. Shatner developing fed up of the Trekker azines nerdish questions says, "You know, previous to I response anymore questions there's something I desired to help say. Having attained all your letters on the years, and I've spoken to a lot regarding you, plus some involving everyone have traveled. y'know. hundreds of miles to become here, I'd simillar to that will say. Get a life, will a person people? I mean, intended for moaping available loud, it's only a TV show! I mean, take a look at you, evaluate this method you're dressed! You've changed an pleasant little job, this I did to be a lark just the summer years, straight into a heavy waste materials associated with time!"

I conclusion my Child associated with Television column which includes a quote. There are actually extra over a handful of posts where I include quotes Mr. Shatner on this prominent SNL sketch. I utilize Mr. Shatner's quote every time I felt this somebody must be informed to, "Get a life!" due to the fact "It's a little TV show". This memorable moment and my personal quoting generally there of offers influenced me to generate The Shatner Award. The initial meeting of the Shatner Award committee occured with the Don Knotts area of the Burbank Holiday Inn, February 1st 2006 from 7:43 P.M.: The Shatner Award committee has been knowledgeable which in order to become compliant with Robert's Rules connected with Order they need to use precise dates rather than Star Dates.

New Business:

The Shatner Award could be given to people people as well as groupings who need that they are explained to to, "Get a life!" because "It's simply a TV show". The guidelines to get succeeding a new Shatner Award will be as follows:

1) The winners should get had built their particular SHATNER acceptable review within some sort of open website i.e. TV, Radio, Web site, Blog, Podcast etc. Since the Shatner worthy quote might be printed upon the particular give itself, the Shatner Award committee must verify the specific policy using a Google Search. (Sorry we not able to just provide Shatner Award in your uptight Aunt Betty as well as self-righteous brother in-law Phil.)

2) Comments made previous to February very first 2006 won't be considered. (It will certainly or else end up being a fulltime employment offering retroactive Shatners. (My sorry that will The Parents Television Council in addition to The American Family Association, although most people that committee are usually sure that will there may end up being many Shatner Award worthy responses in the future). 3) There is going to be no nominees. Those who need your SHATNER will certainly get a Shatner Award.

4) To avoid virtually any fights involving interest, neither Mr. Shatner as well as every Shatner Award committee person is intended to be able to get a Shatner Award, but it really is a great recognition just appearing considered.

5) Shatner Award winners don't need to be present to win. (The Shatner Award Committee would actually like this in which way)

6) The Shatner Award committee is definitely presently enjoyable nicknames for the Shatner Award. (So significantly we've got rejected "The Willy", "The Shat" or perhaps "The Captain azines Log", but we have been considering "The Kirk", "The Crane" as well as "The Hooker.") 7) The Shatner Award committee promises to help give your Shatner Award that respect it deserves. Therefore i will certainly not make comments like, "Last week we all Shat upon Pat Robertson". This can be beneath us.

8) Unlike other awards, the actual Shatner Award committee encourages political statements along with that knowning that your statement may create anyone entitled for yet another Shatner Award(Limit one (1) Shatner Award each statement).

9) Shatner Award winners who take part in conduct unbecoming a Shatner Award winner could win a further Shatner Award.

10) Until even more recognize there will be not any Shatner Award swag bags (Subject to help change).

A motion had been designed to say yes to this Shatner Award eligibility rules.

The motion flushed by just a vote regarding 13 yes, 03 not any and also 01 GET A LIFE.
