Happy Birthday, Kate Mulgrew!
“I think people think I’m accessible. I’m never treated as a star, either by fans or other actors, and I like it like that. I don’t get the star treatment. I think that means I’m a good actor. They acknowledge me as a human being, and to me, that’s invalua.”
— Kate Mulgrew

“Let us not take ourselves too seriously. None of us has a monopoly on wisdom” Queen Elizabeth II
Live Long and Prosper Queen Elizabeth II
Who would have thought
Of being in the same job
For some sixty three years
– Surely worth some cheers
You’re part of the folk
Even cracked a few jokes
You got street smarts
And certainly won our hearts
Pink, purple or blue
To name but a few
The colours like your spirit
Would inspire many lyrics
Wishes for
Many more
Years of reign
Hear our hail:
Long Live the Queen,
And surely and sincerely
A very happy 91st birthday!

― George Takei
Live Long and Prosper George Takei!
Oh my!
How time flies
When you are having fun
Keep the phasers on stun
For today we celebrate
No matter if gay or straight
Our king and superhero
Will add a few years to the zero
Hip hip hooray!
Happy 80th birthday

William Shatner
Happy Birthday to William Shatner
O Captain, my Captain!
Or is it Mr William Shatner?
Difficult to separate
Call it luck or call it fate
Watching my favourite show
Alerted by the familiar klaxon
Captain James T Kirk is on
Then nothing can go wrong
When on Vulcan
Do as the Vulcans do
Dear Captain, my Captain
Dear Mr Shatner
Live Long and Prosper!

“It’s only a television show”
– Maybe so, but it got me through the best of times and surely through the worst of times
“Vulcan honours us with your presence. We come to serve”
– Mr Spock had me at hello
“Never meet your heroes”
– Maybe true, but this particular hero I will regret not meeting for the rest of my life
“These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise, Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before.”
– And I will keep watching until such time they put me out to pasture.
