Whether he's treading the boards at Stratford, securing the safety of the galaxy aboard the Enterprise, or making sure we know the great deals to be had at Priceline.com, Shatner has entertained us for decades with his trademark acting style.
In lieu of cake and novelty candles, you can follow the veteran actor on Twitter or, if you have highly tolerant office mates, take part in International Talk Like William Shatner Day.
Wow. Kirk, universal scourge of slave-girl virginity, is 79 today. Hard to imagine that the virile TJ Hooker is 365 days away from becoming an octogenarian. Which means that he was two years younger than me when he first appeared as Kirk. Suddenly I don't feel so old...
Happy Birthday, Mr. Shatner - if anyone's earned the right to be curmudgeonly and ornery, it would be you...
That is all.

IIRC, Mr. Shatner was 36 in 1966, when Star Trek hit the airwaves. That would have placed his birth in 1930, making him 80 now. He wouldn't be the first Hollywood person to fudge his age.
I figured it back to '67, forgetting that the season started in 1966...
Sure, Bill Shatner may indeed be 79, but his hair is younger than a skunky bottle of Romulan ale.
Well, there is always this. Crime against humanity, is all I can say.
Other than it is better in the original Kingon.
While Lucy was good... so was this:
