"Is that a toupee or are you just pleased to see me?"What's going on in the above behind-the-scenes picture from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, sourced via trekcore.com? Is it toupological shock or awe or both? Time for another reader's humorous caption contest, we think! As always, the winner "receives" a prize, which in this case "is" a rare 3D collector's map of the entire main WSSTS complex! Roast away - we look forward to reading your ideas!
On a side note, perhaps one of the most memorable things about the above Spock neck-pinch scene from ST:IV is the "I Hate You!" music playing on the punkster's "Boom box". Here's the complete song, which as noted in the YouTube clip, was actually written by the movie's associate producer Kirk Thatcher.
Why has this instantly memorable song never been covered properly? Perhaps by the band "Shatner's Hairpiece" (another pop-culture homage to William Shatner's toupee). By the way: Kirk and Thatcher - there's a hair association there too, one that can mess up your sub-conscious and lead to embarrassing moments like these (warning, this clip may make you cringe!):
"Hey your toup is trying to upstage mine!!"
ReplyDelete"Hey - MY contract calls for MY toupee to be higher and thicker than everyone else's!"
ReplyDelete"Oh, dude, I love your hair. Where did you buy it?"
ReplyDeleteYou get a real glimpse in the "Thatcher" clip what an asshole Shatner is. I'm hoping that the toupascope will focus like a laser on the Edward Katz institute and finally catch Shat walking into the store. Bill- Fuck you and the horse you rode in on.
ReplyDeleteOh and one more thing to the conservatives that are "giving up" this blog after the recent policial post. You know you can't do it. The pull of the toupee is too strong. You continue to check in as you always do, maybe post under a different name but the fact remains, you need this blog. I need this blog. Sure, you'll try to replace it with a toupe blog with Travolta or Reynolds. It won't work. You'll hunger for the One and Only True Shat Toup. And you'll be back if you're not back already. For me I don't always want to read about toupees, but when I do, I prefer ShatToup. Stay thirsty for the toupee my friends.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments "Most Jerk" - just so we present a counter-point for discussion (we always welcome polite debate!): a strange guy comes up to you with a microphone calling you "Mr Thatcher" - is Bill Shatner's reaction so unwarranted? Anyway, thanks for all your caption ideas - keep them coming! -ST
ReplyDelete"The hair. I just envy the hair. Is it a dominant gene?"
ReplyDeleteActually I thought Shatner handled it as politely as possible. I would've been a lot more rude if some idiot came up to me and shoved a microphone in my face and called me by some other name.
ReplyDeleteAn ambush interview from some twelve-year old who can't even pronounce his name? TJ Hooker would have said: "Get that microphone out of my face, punk!"
ReplyDeleteOk Ok, you guys are right about the interview. But Sulu and I stand behind the horse comments!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to my band. I wanted to send you guys a jpg copy of my 'Shatner's hairpiece' business card, which I have been using to promote the band for the last few years. I'm sure the readers will enjoy it!
ReplyDelete"If I had your hair, Heather Locklear would be all over me."
ReplyDelete"If I find out that you used my glue, there's going to be Hell toupee!"
ReplyDelete...not as much as he has toupee Mr Katz every month..!
ReplyDelete"Hell toupee" - there's a win.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gracious way to handle it - "I do actually. Thanks." So . . . Canadian.
"I left my toupee in San Francisco."
ReplyDelete"You too?"
"If you're going,
ReplyDeleteTo San Francisco,
Be sure to wear,
A toupee for your hair.
If you're going,
To San Francisco..."
Sorry, we couldn't resist! -ST
"In addition to my toupee, I'm also wearing a merkin. Check it out."
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I am quite large down there, luv. You'll have to open wider than that!"
ReplyDeleteHow do you get that thing to KLING-ON???
ReplyDelete"It's made of horsehair and shellac."
ReplyDelete"Wow, just like mine."
"Ok buddy.Will settle this like men.Step outside for a toup-off"
ReplyDeleteAnd All We Ask is a Tall Toupee and a Star to Steer Her By
ReplyDelete"For the long, long road to Toupperary is the road that leads me home."
