Well, so says Christopher Plummer. Pretty hilarious if you ask me.

Can you imagine Bill Shatner doing that "Band of Brothers" monologue?

Well, just remember, that was back in 54 when he was still a hungry actor. And also remember that he lampoons his own portrayal of Kirk (which is really where the...halting...pausesandspeedups...came from. It's kind of telling that Plummer knew that his understudy would be catapulted by taking his place, if you think about it. Shatner takes a lot of grief for his acting, but all in all, he's mostly a ham these days. Back then he probably had some chops and wanted to use 'em.

I just think that Plummer having a sex injury is what led Shatner to his fame is a hilarious concept.


PS. It's the "St. Crispens Day speech." ;)

Well, remind me never to tell a joke around YOU again! :laughlol:

I agree completely though about the...um...injury :p Although it is interesting that this has taken 51 years to come out.

It's just the "Shatner as Henry V" thing was the first thing that popped into my head. Kind-of like the "Shatner doing 'Fiddler on the Roof'" from Family Guy.

Jo-joke? I'm gonna have to consult my dictionary. I've never heard of that term before. Is it English?

Yeah, it's definitely in there.

Since when does a kidney stone count as a sex injury?

If that's the case, my medical history just got a lot juicier!

Meh. He coulda done that sneezing.

If it doesn't involve a sprained testicle, a burst penile blood vessel or a serious contusion or broken limb sustained in an attempt at some ridiculous feat of boudoir acrobatics, it simply doesn't meet my (admittedly lofty) standards for sexual injuries. :thumbsup1:

Proving, yet again, there's no joke too obvious for you to resist stomping on with both feet. Bravo.:thumbsup1:

I didn't realise further proof was needed. :D

And are you just miffed because I jacked your threadjacking?
