funny thing was he had already promised to give his kidney stone to Jimmy Kimmel when he appeared on his show a week or two earlier.

Ewwww.  I'm sure Jimmy Kimmel is crushed.

I wish Shatner would just go away.[/DIV]He's like Paris Hilton but only a man.

I've never cared for him much, until I started watching Boston Legal.   GREAT show.

I hate the way he talks.

Have you ever watched Boston Legal
