Today (March 22) is William Shatner’s Birthday. He’s 80-years-old now, incredibly. But it’s also unofficial ‘International Talk Like William Shatner Day’. Yes, I’m serious.
2011 marks the third annual ‘International Talk Like William Shatner Day’, after Maurice LaMarche declared it as such in 2009. He even saw fit to give a free lesson in how to talk like Shatner.
It’s actually pretty easy. You need to talk down to people as if you’re the most important person in the room world, elongate the vowels, and well, just sound like William Shatner. He has such a distinctive delivery you should be able to pull it off.
Happy Birthday Shats. Why not celebrate it by giving us one of those oh-so-amazing renditions of classic songs you love to pull out the hat from time to time. Unfortunately I don’t think F**k You by Cee-Lo Green will ever be beaten.
