Yes, it was Talk Like William Shatner Day and his birthday yesterday, and sure, he’s 80 now, but once upon a time, rowr!

Tricorder reading: HAWT!

Plus: top ten signs your starship captain is a drunkard, from Modern Drunkard magazine.

10.) When Spock mind probes him, Spock gets hammered.

9.) Wakes up next to a Klingon chick at least once a week.

8.) Starts the ship’s self-destruct sequence just to fuck with the yeoman who blew him off in the officer’s lounge.

7.) Each time you discover a new planet he tells Spock to scan the surface for cheap scotch and loose females.

6.) The first thing he says when negotiating with Romulans is, “So, what’s the ale situation?”

5.) McCoy tells him, “I’m a doctor, Jim, not a bartender!”

4.) He keeps slipping down to the engineering room to “discuss ancient Scottish traditions” with Scotty.

3.) Giggles every time Spock says they should launch a “deep space probe.”

2.) Whenever a female yeoman brings him a clipboard he tries to open a tab.

1.) Is willing to make beer runs into the neutral zone.

It’s Tuesday, the day that’s Monday’s hangover, and that means that while I dunno (but suspect) about you, what I really need is a kickass song with an absolutely stunning video. This IS that video: Moneygrabber, by Fitz and the Tantrums, whom I discovered a full week before they were on Conan!

Fifty New Yorkers were asked the same question: this video shows their answers. Actually, since they’re New Yorkers, they probably had to ask a couple of hundred to find fifty volunteers, but that’s neither here nor there.

Fifty People, One Question: Brooklyn from Fifty People, One Question on Vimeo.

Once upon a time, we awoke with a new question on our mind. We didn’t quite know what the buzz and bustle of a Brooklyn afternoon would bring. In search of nothing more than some fresh answers, we found a few dreams instead.

And the London video. Compare and contrast, as they say at exam time:

Fifty People, One Question: London from Fifty People, One Question on Vimeo.

What might happen when we venture far from home now? Will we find that London light around the corner? Will the rain hide all the dreamers out of sight? They might not want to play our little game this time – or we could look away and miss our chance. Or maybe just a bit of something out there will remind us why we take the time to ask.

Wee Wang

This, my friends, is the best-dressed attendee at New York Fashion Week: it’s Alexander Wang’s niece. The only quibble I have with the outfit, which is, I believe the fashionistas refer to it as “adorbz” yes, that’s the technical term, is, like the Queen, what the heck can she be keeping in that very expensive Chanel bag? Lipstick? Credit cards? Car keys? Plastic dinosaurs?
