It’s been a big week in Shatland, and not just because of the controversy surrounding CBS’s waffling over their upcoming Twitter-inspired series, Shit My Dad Says.

Not only did our legendary icon spend his week at the Rock Creek classic horse show, but he took time to sign items from his life and career for the upcoming Las Vegas Star Trek Auction and phone in his support to help save British Columbia’s wild salmon population.

While there is still no word on whether or not Shatner will become Canada’s next Governor General, you can bet your bag of marbles he will focus heavily on campaigns to maintain Canada’s wildlife. It’s no secret he’s a lover of the great outdoors, so who better to preserve some of the most beautiful country in North America?

The Las Vegas Star Trek Auction for my fellow trekkies, probably needs little plugging.

Most of you are probably already on board, but for the uninformed, the auction will take place June 27 at 2 p.m., and they will be auctioning off items from the personal estate of Gene and Majel Rodenberry. The Shat donated several items, all of them autographed, so this is your chance to get your hands on a piece of Shatner history. All proceeds from the auction go to the Rodenberry Foundation, with some of the proceeds from Shatner’s legacy going to the Hollywood Charity Horse Show he puts on every year.

The Globe and Mail also published a top ten list of Uncle Bill’s favorite cars, you know, in case you ever wondered what he might drive to pick you up for the family reunion if the Starship Enterprise was in the shop. The Bugatti Veyron and Chevy Corvair were high on the list. All the more reason to call up Uncle Bill for a ride, but don’t get too excited. Leonard Nimoy already called shotgun. Beep! Beep!

The Shat is one busy man, which has me thinking he really needs a few more things on his plate… idle hands, the devil and all that. My mom, who does not read my columns, says the fact that I focus so much effort every Shaturday on William Shatner might suggest I have idle hands, but I can’t figure out if she’s implying The Shat is the devil, or she’s just saying I need to get a life.

Either way, I think the fact that he’s seen in this video talking about his love for horses while decked out in full cowboy gear proves he’s not the devil, so take that, Mom!
