OK, I almost got really indignant – – A vanity search for “Shatnerhoff” turned up a Hasselhoff blogsite referencing “The Shatnerhoff Theory”, based upon some article in the Toronto Sun. And no mention of Deadpan’s “Shatnerhoff Phenomenon”!  It turns out, however, that the Toronto Sun article had published on August 15, and this blogger’s post had gone out on August 17. Deadpan 21 released on August 24, so they couldn’t have ripped me off. I certainly didn’t rip them off (I’d never steal someone else’s idea. I just wouldn’t.); it’s just a matter of timing. My skit and their article really only have the term, “Shatnerhoff” in common. Here is the link, but be warned; the page is topped with a disturbing picture of “The Hoff” in the buff, holding only a wrinkly dog to cover his KITT. NSFW, hell NSFAnywhere.

I thought this merited a main page post, but feel free to discuss in the Episode 21 comments conversation, if you feel so inclined. I’d definitely like to know if any of you guys submit your own Signs (Although someone already posted the Armor of God PJs. Sorry, ditto).

“You saw it the other day, the signs. There’ve been a lot of other things happening. A lot of things. There’s a Web site collecting them, signsofwitnessdotcom, go see for yourself.”

Happy news! Spherical Tomi got a 4-star review over at www.sfreader.com.

“I liked it very much and would gladly recommend it to anyone else who likes the serious science fiction space stuff. Hell, I DON’T usually like that stuff, and I still liked Spherical Tomi.”
