Let it go, Red.I think a little Scripture is in order here: "As you sow, so shall you reap!"BTW, me and my cat are doing just fine. Thanks for the good wishes, old chap!

All good dude, I was only partly serious with that anyway. btflash and I are cool as I noted earlier.As a courtesy to btflash, I've decided not to post the contents of his last PM to me (he/she has sent 3 about this subject) as they were private correspondence be tween the two of us and I don't think it would be right to post those comments without his/her permission (sorry, I have no idea what your gender is), but needless to say btflash is worked up about this and here is my response:btflash said:
"Why are you getting so worked up over this? We're not curing cancer here, we're talking about the Shat's melon.
You're right, apparently I was mistaken about what was in the book, but it still doesn't change my position. And I think you're misunderstanding my position anyway. I'm not suggesting that Shat's not bald, I'm suggesting that there's no verifiable proof that he is. I'm sorry but Bob Justman's statement doesn't really carry that much weight with me for a couple of reasons. What is he defining as a toupee? He's not specific? If it's a hair piece to make it look fuller and more forward on his head, that doesn't make it a toupee as you would think of it.
What I'm getting at is that there's never been any proof that he's bald... not that his hairline has receded or that he has thin hair. I'm talking bald.
Stop fucking PMing me over this, it's fucking retarded!"
Biut seriously, why is anyone getting worked up about this thread, I had Red Ranger go off on me for no reason, btflash is having kittens because I refuse to believe, other posters are whipping out their copies of The Making of Star Trek... c'mon now... this isn't the Warren Commission, here.
Relax, already.

I'm not suggesting that he isn't, I've just questioned the fact that we've assumed for yearsthat he does without any verifiable proof.
Well, not really, as to me there's nothing to indicate by appearance that he's bald (he could have thin hair) but he's obviously a male and no one's suggested otherwise. Also simply look at his hands. His ring finger is longer than his index finger... he's a dude.
No, what we do have is the first-hand testimony of many different people over a period of decades.
That is substantial good evidence, though it does fall short of being absolute proof.
The same level of "agnosticism" would allow that we don't have verifiable proof that Shatner is biologically male by birth. We just have substantial good evidence.
This would indicate he's most likely a straight male, a gay male would have an index longer than the ring finger.His ring finger is longer than his index finger... he's a dude.
Of course this might indicate something else?
Counterproductive - like your comments AFTER I have already told both you AND Red Ranger to knock off the personal comments.All good dude, I was only partly serious with that anyway. btflash and I are cool as I noted earlier.
I'm glad to hear you and your cat are doing well. You two make a lovely couple. I'll send you my address so you can send me a wedding invitation.
For the record, I'm just curious: what did I ever say to you to incur your wrath? As I said before, I didn't even know you before you attacked me, so what gives?
I mean, it appears that you don't like comments that I've made in other threads. If that's the case, why don't you just take them up with me in those threads or via PM? Why call me out in open forum with a personal attack when I don't even know what your beef is?
It seems counterproductive and it just makes you look hostile.
Here's a high res publicity pic of Shat's head:
That's his real hair, it's just sparse like Vance said.

I've heard rumors for years that Shatner wore a toupee even during TOS (Hell, FG did a joke about it) but I've never gotten any confirmation on that. Is that true? Are there any pics of the Shat (non-shopped) of him sans the rug?
