This is William Shatner's spoken-word Rocketman as audio-transcribed and closed-captioned by Youtube. When you click the closed-captions button, a window pops up to warn you, "Transcibe Audio is an experimental service . . . "

Sometimes TA is accidentally perceptive, though, like it's transcribing the subtext.

A few weeks ago, I dreamed I read a poem called William Shatner's Scythe and Flowers. I can't remember the words, but these are right enough.

If you want to soil yourself, watch in TA: Shatner of the Mount
(To activate TA, hover the mouse over the CC button at the bottom-right of the video and click "Transcribe Audio". Magical.)

  2. YESSSSSSS! I LOVE THAT! OH GOD I CAN'T EVEN BREATHE---

    McCoy to Kirk as Kirk walks away: "splat dot there are a lot more jokes about that"

    I'm at the library re-watching it, having to cover my mouth so I don't scream. O help.

    And "Unanswered, notice it" is so very McCoy.

  3. Oh, OH! That is magical indeed! You're right, it's like the subtitles are channeling a snarky Dadistic commentary ("Captain Kirk is resplendent," yes!)

    I must try this with EVERYTHING now.

  4. Yes! "snarky Dadistic commentary"!

    "polymerase" is what really got me. So unexpected.

    (But who was this "dustin" he kept mentioning?)
