More Hugs for CJ.
He’s singing “I will survive” in Golumn’s voice… get it?
Now he’s changing the lyrics to be LOTR centric
EssBee: What a coincidence. We tattoed on Saturday:

The extensive collection that is us:

Mrs. Usedhair = horse – little-shop-of-horrors-like plant
I = Bill the cat – Woodstock
We have the same number of tattoos so I obviously have some updating to do for hers
Nice, Usedhair!
Cj, I’d come over for your bday – stat.
Van – How bad was Killer Inside Me in comparison to Irreversible?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irr%C3%A9versible
Cj – Hopefully the gnomes will be lulled to sleep before Friday.
Maybe we can get someone else to -ACT- like it is their birthday, thereby distracting the evil birthday gnomes into sabotaging their day instead of yours.
Or would that be the act of a bad person? Humph.
I haven’t seen that film NS, so nothing to add what I’ve already wrote.
Dystopias are back in vogue with the young, that deserves an analysis it seems:

What happened to originality? are we out of ideas?
I’m still waiting for a Thundercats live action movie. oooo Chetara!
reaper: We’ve BEEN out of ideas. Long time now.
JRMurdock: Nice. As long as it’s not Uma Thurman.
or Cameron Diaz. Can’t stand her.
I’d like to see Michael Dorn as Lionel though :)
The next step will be re-reboots.
BSG Reborn
The New Dukes of Hazzard
Planet of the Apes Yet Again
Flash Gordon OMG Not Again
Oooh, good pick. I’d not have thought of him.
Henry Simmons for whassname. Panthro?
I have someone in mind for Cheetara, but I can’t remember her name.
Pauline Nordin isn’t my top pic, but probably #2-ish. I can’t find the other name. Of course, I don’t think she can act at all. I don’t know if she ever did. That’s not my basis right here. :-)
Jack: Don’t forget these:
Superman: Still in Tights
Planet of the Apes Reiteration
The A+ Team
Return of the Spiderman Returning

I didn’t know that Moon was directed and co-written by David Bowie’s son.
Pretty cool article, ditto.
I think there was a Leave it to Beaver’s Kid movie or TV show.
I also think it’s time for a Star Trek Reboot…. (I’m always up for that!)
How about …
Three’s Still Company
Herman’s Head Aches
Bosom Buddies – Undressed!
Jack: Neither did I, but I would guess that he probably wouldn’t like to be called “one of his hardier sperm”. Just sayin’. ;)
Come On!
Re: Moon: Lady J knew it. I really don’t get how she knows all these people.
Duncan Jones
aka Zowie Bowie
aka One of Bowie’s hardier sperm
JN: Yes, but you know us.
So, yeah… that, uh, balances things.
Sort of.
*ponders why there are less than 500 comments*
*ponders which grenade to lob into the room to spark activity*
Come on!
Speaking of Voltron
http://twinklergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/voltron1.jpg
This week has been crazy for me, which is why I’ve posted even less than usual. Off to run errands now.
Also, it’s primary election day here in California. Gotta attempt to choose the least of several evils. :/
If I did a movie play-by-play Bunny style but it wasn’t a horror movie – but like say a bad teen romance… would it still be fun for you all?
More importantly, would Bunny enjoy it?
It just seems like a fun thing to do and I wanna do it too!
(because I have so much spare time on my hands?)
ditto: I may have just taken care of it for you with a political grenade…
*giggling to self*
Funny thing happens when I get a full night of sleep.
I’m just in a better overall mood.
Voltron is a girl?
Grenade not H-Bomb. ;)
In the old days, all I had to say was “Dulli is not swoon-worth” and that would get a reaction. ;)
ditto: Ah, good point.
And speaking of Bowie, Amazon has “The Man Who Sold The World” on sale for $3.68.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000TEMQNG/ref=nosim/largeheartedb-20
I saw Kick Ass over the weekend. By far the best super hero movie EVAR!!!
Brady Bunches and Bunches
Some more Happy Days
Lavern and Shirley, finally out of the closet.
Odd Couple, finally out of the closet.
OK. I know I’ve had this discussion with Jack and Lo Pan, but not with the rest of you.
What are some of your “candy” bands. This is music that you know is bad–they’ve sold-out, gone commercial, make junk popular music, or the like–but you like them anyway.
We’ve all got bands like this in our collection. I’ve got Nickleback, Matchbox 20, and Sarah McLachlan on my iPod. What’s in yours?
CP: Il Buono, Il Cattivo, Il Brutto — Ennio Morricone
Wow. That cleared out the room.
I wonder what’s behind the bar?
Is anyone still watching the Stanley Cup? I’ve been too busy. :(
The end of Dr. Demento.
http://drdemento.com/
ditto: Your post scared me… I fear the “end” of Dr. Demento. I want him to live forever!
Also, that Voltron was a very diminutive man, but a man, nonetheless. Not a girl.
And I don’t think YOU cleared the room.. I think it’s the fear that I might start doing a play-by-play of Eclipse or something.
Wow *I* really did clear the room!
It BURNS!
Make it stop!
Eclipse, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooo.
*thud*
ditto: fear not! a play-by-play of Eclipse would actually require me actually having to sit through the movie a THIRD time and after the pain of viewing number 2… which I didn’t even make it through with much apologies to my mommy friends who love it (why?) this just simply isn’t going to happen.
I recall the discussion, ditto. I don’t really feel all that guilty about my “guilty pleasures”. Yes, I might have a Bangles song or some GWAR songs on my iPod, but I don’t feel ashamed about them. It’s not like I’m rocking out in my cubicle to The Macarena.
ditto, on the other hand, ought to feel ashamed about his Nickelback mp3s. ;)
Cj, I’m all in favor of the pbp. :)
Mwuwahahahahahahahaha
Guilt?
What’s that, precious?
Reading a recent interview with Gail Carriger over on Tor.com. I love this quote:
“Kumquat. You can’t say that without giggling inside.”
I’m not here. I’m just hopping in to let you know I’d enjoy a Cj play by play.
Now back to watching the yard people…
Bunny’s here! Oh wait. . .
You know, it’s the meter people in Canada. ;)
metre?
Hi DP!
We’re vacationing, and enjoying it. We’re in Canon City, CO, enjoying B’s family. I believe tomorrow’s biggest job will be making (and eating) tamales.
I can’t think of any guilty pleasure music off the top of my head, but will look on the iPod and get back to y’all on that one.
Yard’s done. Yeah! Hubby’s busy editing pics to send to people (I haven’t forgotten your request EssBee).
Guilty pleasure music I have on my i-Pod:
Abba
Jerry Reed
Johnny Horton
Ricky Martin
Roger Whittaker
Bubblegum Crisis Soundtrack
(Does Boney M count? I have them too)
(What about Monkees as well as each of their solo efforts?)
I think the rest of my music is pretty mainstream and would generally be accepted by the masses.
That disturbing Monkees song definitely counts for something.
Tonight’s Deadpan Cooking idea
Buy a Brisket. (I don’t know … it says “Brisket” on the package)
Put it on a sheet of Aluminum foil.
Lightly Salt and pepper it.
Roll it over and lightly salt and pepper the other side.
Fold up the aluminum foil so the Brisket is nicely sealed up.
Put foil package in an oven safe pan.
Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees (Fahrenheit, you geeks)
Put Brisket in the oven for 3 to 3.5 hours.
Remove and eat like a king!!!!
My mom has been trying to get me to do this for some time and I keep putting her off. So now I owe her a phone call and thanks.
It couldn’t have been easier or tastier.
Enjoy.
That is all.
Just for Jack…
Ask your mommy and daddy
What happened to the Indian
Ask your mommy and daddy
To tell you where you really came from
Your mommy and daddy
Will probably quickly turn and walk away
Then ask your mommy and daddy
Who really killed JFK
Ask your mommy if she really
Gets off on all her pills
Ask your daddy why doesn’t
That soldier care who he kills?
After they’ve put you to sleep
And tucked you safely down in your bed
Whisper mommy and daddy
Would it matter if the bullet went through my head?
If it was my blood spilling on the kitchen floor,
If it was my blood, mommy, would you care a little more?
Don’t be surprised when they turn and start to cry
And tell your mommy and daddy
Tell your mommy and daddy
Scream it to your mommy and daddy,
They’re living in a lie, lie, lie
It’s all a lie, it’s all a lie, lie, lie…
-The Monkees
Lies!!!
After hubby’s done with the pics I think I’m going be levelling up my Githzerai monk. We’re actually playing D & D on Friday this week (instead of the normal Saturday) and my character’s ready to go up to level 15. Yoo Hoo!
Joe: I have several great brisket recipes. The key to all of them is slow cooking.
There, EssBee and Cj have been sent landscaping pics. My new yard is so purdy
Oh Yeah, I also have Rolf Harris on my i-pod. Definitely a guilty pleasure.
Aaalllll the girlies like ditto’s brisket.
Brisket cooking is a competitive sport down here. Some take it very very seriously.
I am not one such.
Salt and pepper? That’s it?
Laugh while you can, monkey boy.
Sometimes food tastes good in it’s own flavours, Jack. *redneck drawl* We don’t need any of those fancy sauces
My monk is now level 15. Monsters beware!
Sometimes fancy sauces are great, but a good cut of meat will stand on its own
Thanks, jOe!! I’m trying that.
TEB, going to check out pictures now!
Tornado warnings here
Further south
Whew
Protect the brisket, ditto.
TEB’s monkey got busy.
Seriously Jack, just salt a pepper. Remarkably tasty and tender. Hope you enjoy it Essbee. :)
Ed – let ‘em get serious all they want … as long as you get to eat the results! Collateral dinning.
… and finally,
I think it’s time to declare a Jihad on BP.
Just hearing that they have had HiDef imagery for weeks now of the gusher … and only just today, under pressure, did they finally release it to the government hired scientists who are trying to deal with this thing.
Al this time and they are still obfuscating the facts and obstructing the rest of the world from helping.
Oh, yes, JJ. My cooking skillz lie elsewhere, but I do get to enjoy some mighty fine brisket round these parts.
America should just refuse to do or allow any business with BP for 20 years. That should be the penalty for any business that creates a disaster, whether it’s a huge oil company or Domino’s Pizza.
ahem.
Salt and pepper brisket sounds good.
BTW: You know BP’s $50 million ad campaign declaring “We will make this right” ???
Well, apparently they were careful NOT to say anything like, “we will restore the Gulf to its full former glory.”
Seems BP has released a guide to all of it’s spokespersons that included this sobering tidbit :
“No statement shall be made containing … Promises that property, ecology, or anything else will be restored to normal.”
Nice.
I say we send a heavily armed Samual L. Jackson crashing into the BP boardroom to tell them that he wants the MF Oil of our MF shoreline.
ahem …
try the brisket with a nice baked potato and maybe some green beans.
I like some bits of baked potato to hold the butter together :)
Guilty pleasure music…
Ninja by Der Antwoord
Cuz I Can by Hardknox
(anything) by Evanescence
Hazard by Richard Marx
Joyride by Roxette
I am too sexy by Right Said Fred
and of course, my perennial favorite
Ice, Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice
Deadly when I hear a dope melody.
Bunny lives in a cute house. OOOOOH lookie! My favorite color!
I wonder if that is going to work.
Apparently inserting color tags on
is pointless.
Don’t blame me for Der Anterwoord, but I don’t mind the credit. ;)
NS: Funny, I heard Jack playing something that sounded like Ice, Ice Baby recently. :)
Night pan. Still in one piece here.
ditto – I know and it was AWESOME!!
Oops. I mean, it was awesome.
Hmmm… I scroll through my iPod.
I feel no shame in Abba or the Mamma Mia Soundtrack on here.. or the Enchanted soundtrack either.
Lesseeeee….
OK the Bon Jovi and Britney Spears… yeah… fail…
What the???? There’s fricken George Michael on my iPod…
I gotta go decontaminate this thing….
(I like Bon Jovi :tongue:)
Why isn’t my tongue working???
Well, I didn’t get to choose the least of any evils, because the governorship wasn’t even on the ballot I got. It may or may not have been because I had to vote on a provisional ballot, I don’t know.
EssBee: Glad you’re having a good time on vacation!
The application for the above-mentioned perfect job has been submitted. Most likely nothing will come of it, but… *crosses fingers*
This is fantastic:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS8z0QZzazw&feature=related
dug all my long boxes out of the attic. ugh! arms are sore. Will spend the next couple weeks cataloging and pricing and posting on either ebay or craig’s list. Haven’t decided which yet. This is going to take a LONG time.
I’m glad I have green play-doh at my desk.
Did I mention that I have a new supervisor at work?
She’s cool – she’s not the other one but…
On the other hand… I’m still waiting for my “dream job” (really my dream job is to stay home and be a work-at-home mommy) interview….
Cj said:
Why isn’t my tongue working???
JR – If you are keeping some, how are you determining which issues/titles to keep?
Cj – What’s the play-doh for?
Oh my.
Did you see today’s XKCD yet?
http://xkcd.com/751/
Wow.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQITWbAaDx0&feature=player_embedded
CD: in a mad rush cos I slept in.
Off to get backed x-rayed.
Ok, so yeah…
that youtube video made me spit grapenuts out my nose. Dan and I giggled greatly.
Dan has a request – please
Please go to his website http://www.shouldibearoused.com and vote on the pictures and leave funny comments.
I’m being a good wife and recruiting y’all to stop by and maybe do that for him? He asked me to ask you nicely.
(well I added the “nicely” part…)
I see the reaper has been busy being aroused *cough* over there!
Thanks, reaper!
CJ: Good English makes for bad :FTB:
)
(I like Bon Jovi :tongue:) should have a space after the last : or :FTB won’t recognize the emoticon
(I like Bon Jovi
Ooo, and it seems I’m just as bad
doesn’t like capitals either
Maybe
Went to see the picture and vote. I think the “it’s a trap” quote for Mrs. Darth Vader is appropriate because I thinks the person is holding the crotch to hide something rather than needing to go to the bathroom.
I’ll be in my bunk
The cooked bacon bra though…
Morning Pan.
It’s overcast. I’m hoping it will rain. My new sod has to be watered twice a day until it grows roots. However, I don’t want to be one of those people who water their grass in the rain so I’m hoping, if it does rain, it’ll start soon.
I voted. There should be one more category that covers everything. It’s a little… odd.
I hear thunder. That’s a promising sign.
Unless you guys really want it, I don’t think I’ll be finishing the gargoyle movie. It was simply retched and took everything I had to watch what I did.
still getting cough up but
Re Brisket:
garlic is the only thing I would add to the spice list.
The only thing I have ever found that can screw it up is cooking fat side down.
It dries out but the foil might fix that.
Still getting cough up:
Re BP:
talk to your local store owner and encourage them to change oil companies. That will really hurt BP. Unfortunately boycotting the local store hurts the local guy and his employees more than anything. Unless they own a shit load of stores across different oil companies. I know this takes some research but I wouldn’t feel good about myself if I killed my neighbors small business with out giving them the chance to change.
not yet finished with the nights nipples:
Re http://shouldibearoused.com/
Cj, Your Welcome
I stop daily and try to comment when something occurs to me.
However not always being aroused.
NS: I’ll be keeping very few comics. Ones like Pacific Comics Groo #1 signed by Sergio. He was great fun to meet. :)
My body doesn’t like this morning after digging all those boxes out of the attic, but my wallet will LOL
I decided it wasn’t going to rain in the immediate future so I put the sprinkler on. My cat is mesmerized by the water going back and forth outside the front windows.
interesting:
http://mvnm.tumblr.com/post/679443357/surface-area-required-to-power-the-whole-world-by-solar
wonder if they took in to account transmission loss, or weather loss, battery loss to store during the night or bad weather…
on the other had could you imagine the number to jobs created just by the cleaning crew to keep the panels running efficiently. You would probably need a small army just for maintenance.
My outside tap is broken. I’d replace it but it’s soldered right onto the pipe (really? Who’s silly enough to do that?) The plumber is coming later today to give me a new tap.
I personally think the power issue/usage, much like the petroleum issue (use of not the BP thing), is more complicated than that.
I live in “evil” Alberta with the “evil” tar sands and “dirty oil” (quote happy, or what?) and I can tell you, switching to clean energy, while a good idea and full of good intentions, is not as simple as everybody want you to believe.
Bunny, It never is easy. If it was we would have done it long long ago. I think the thing solar/wind activist forget is what what are you going to do when sun/wind isn’t there. consumers won’t stand for power not being there. Just think if had to make sure to have enough ice in your fridge to keep it cold over night. and what if we started using electric cars. with no sun shining at night how are we going to charge it.
If it didn’t cost $5k-$10k to make a house able to work seamlessly off solar and grid power I would jump on it. This is the cost before panel’s/turbines or anything else.
OW! How did I not notice that splinter earlier? Or that I’d gotten it in the first place. OW! Typing is going to suck today.
Yeah, whenever I see protesters talking about stop using oil, whether from Alberta or anywhere else, my thought is, ok, we’ve suddenly stopped using oil (and coal for that matter, I don’t care what you say, there’s no such thing as “clean coal”). No more oil in the world, what can we use to replace it? Yes there’s solar, and batteries (BTW, lithium ion used is batteries is also a non-renewable source of energy) but not immediately, readily usable should all other forms stop.
Yes, I agree there are better/cleaner ways to get energy, just not RIGHT NOW. Not practically anyways.
Ok, I’m done. I’m going to put the soapbox away now.
Where is that splinter, JR? Can I use my imagination?
JR, Must be a ninja splinter. Your lucky you found it before it took over your body and lived your life like the “Edger suit” for MiB2 (I think it was 2)
While I agree with the previous statements regarding switching energy sources, I also think the public pressure to switch is useful. Energy companies have to be convinced that the investment to switch is worthwhile.
As for solar energy, a lot of work has been done lately on using molten salt to store energy overnight.
