Breaking news!

[hackthis_archive]

So. Michael Phelps is going to be hosting the season premiere of Saturday Night Live tomorrow night. You might've heard somebody talking about it somewhere. But what I have just found out is that he's not alone. OH NO.

BARACK OBAMA IS HIS GUEST HOST!

Hi. I can't stand SNL. I have never found it amusing or entertaining. Frankly, I think it's all completely overrated. But I am ON this tomorrow night. If I weren't afraid of alcohol poisoning I might even make it a drinking game. One shot everytime Michael totally screws up and another shot when Barack does something awesome, like breathing*.

On a non-partisan note: US residents, please find out when your voter registration deadline is and go sign up to vote. Please. PLEASE?! 30% of the eligible US population votes in an given election, that means your ass is important, so, go be important. If you don't vote, you can't complain later. I'm for real here.


*I should state here that I kind of expect Michael to massively tank, but I told serialkarma that if I was wrong and he killed it, I would write him a sex-filled apology. I'm putting that down, let's see if he picks it up.

Sekrit aside to defamer_atom two days late: I LOVE YOU TOO! Keep posting the shout outs up the good work!

ETA: DEAR FLIST: This new Firefox upgrade is killing me. The dropdown bar for addresses is now just my bookmarks and I don't want that! How can I be switching it back so it gives previously visited sites, b/c I have trawled all over that toolbar and I can't find it anywhere. PLZ TO HALP?

Oh dear god. I really think I'm going to need for you to check in with me when it's over so I know that you're still alive.

Dude. Barack AND Michael? My brain go POOF! I may drown in hysterics if Michael screws up or just electricute myself my licking the TV when Barack is on. Too much crazy awesome, cannot compute!

[thisisbone.livejournal.com]

I saw that this morning! \o/

I turn into a pumpkin at midnight, but I'll definitely be taping!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I have vague concerns that it may turn into a Generation Kill viewing where I keep shouting at the TV and then have to be sedated for my own good.

[thisisbone.livejournal.com]

Maybe he'll get up there and recite the Bush Doctrine...from memory.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

What is the Bush Doctrine? I am president and I can do whatever I want, fuck you people? NYAH NYAH!

[thisisbone.livejournal.com]

Sarah Palin didn't know, either. Then again, YOU are not running for Vice-President. ;)

The Bush Doctrine

So it really is his way of saying I can do whatever I want whenever I want and trifling laws shall not appeal to me. Huh. If I hadn't OD'd while writing GK comment porn this might be upsetting to me. Oh, who am I kidding? I could have a naked Brad and I still wouldn't vote Republican.

[thisisbone.livejournal.com]

If I hadn't OD'd while writing GK comment porn...

Yeah, okay, I'm gonna need that link.

And we got Nate on our side; next up? Brad "Iceman" Colbert.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Before you read this, I would just like to point out that a) it has not been edited at all. So, you know, typos. and b) Uh, oh, the idea was to see what would it take to get Brad to bottom for Nate.

[thisisbone.livejournal.com]

I see! Boy, do I! :)

(I saw only a few typoish things and one kind of abrupt change in POV right at the end of the first part -- went from Brad to Nate when I wasn't expecting it, otherwise...yowza!)

Yeah, I know, I would totally clean up that POV thing if (okay, when I post it). When I started writing it it really was just this sort of what if what if... and then Nate started whispering in my ear and I was like, whatever you want baby. Promise.

[thisisbone.livejournal.com]

Hee! He can be forceful, that Nate! ;)

"I'm Michael Phelps; this is Saturday Night Live, and Shit! You're Lil'
Wayne!"

I WOULD PAY MONEY FOR THIS TO HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

If something like this happens, I don't even know... I cannot comprehend, my brain is off line.

[dine.livejournal.com]

I haven't watched SNL regularly for years, but this is one that I'll make a point of tuning in for! dude, there's nothing but good here!!!

*drinks to Obama breathing awesomely*

CHEERS!

[amberlynne.livejournal.com]

Hosting the show’s 34th season opener has made Phelps the envy of his friends. Swimming rival Ryan Lochte may be particularly jealous since the show’s musical guest is Lil’ Wayne, Lochte’s favorite rapper and someone Phelps likes, too.

Lochte said earlier this week that he plans to call Phelps and “make fun of him. I have to.”

He said he heard that someone would be playing him on the show.

“I don’t know if that’s going to go good or bad,” Lochte said.

From here (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26664375/)!

OH MY GOD. I didn't hear that bit. *wheezes* OH BOY! Oh! Oh! thorne_scratch hooked me up with this MASSIVE promo download video that the guys agency did called 'Out of the Pool.' It has a tour of Ryan's house. And then I promptly died a bit. Also, Psych marathon on today!

[ellensama.livejournal.com]

Omggg I am so happy for that. I don't have cable and this weekend since I'm going to AZ to visit my boyfriend son we will be staying in a hotel with cable! Joy! I'm so voting this year and I have been trying to get others too. Its my first time and I can wait to register. I can't now because I need to switch my license over to CA which I am doing Tuesday. *dances* Obama has really got me to start caring about the US more, I'm bursting at the seems to vote for him this November.

This just fills my heart with glee. Here, have a cookie.

[ellensama.livejournal.com]

Weee! *nibbles*

[zoniduck.livejournal.com]

Oh hells yes. I am so there.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Your icon is made of win. Here, you deserve a cookie too!

OM NOM NOM NOM

And you've seen the macro its based on (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v432/gits_r_us/Icons/more%20icons%202/obamacampaignholyshit.jpg), yes? The icon was made by sincerely_jane and can be found here (http://sincerely-jane.livejournal.com/5587.html). She's made a bunch of cool Obama icons. Her Barack Obama tag is here (http://sincerely-jane.livejournal.com/tag/barack+obama).

Michael Phelps AND Barack Obama AND possibly Tina Fey has left me in a massively twitchy state of delight.

I think Ryan Lochte said he hoped Andy Samberg was playing him. Which-- damn, I can actually totally see.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I didn't know anybody would be playing Ryan, I am kind of gobsmacked. This is going to be comedy GOLD.

[vylit.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeeee! That's me making noises only dogs can hear.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Dude. Drinking games. Also, HAI! Did you see I have maybe become obsessed with Olympics swimmer porn? I miss you! How are you feeling post other accident?

[vylit.livejournal.com]

I did and I think it's awesome. Unfortunately, I was working or in class every day and literally missed the entire Olympics. Eeek.

I'm feeling much better. I'm a little stiff, but I have some awesome muscle relaxers for then that becomes a problem, so I'm doing good!

I could not fix Firefox and in defence I switched to Google Chrome which is pretty much awesome compared to the Firefox upgrade so far, but it's only been a couple of days.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You know, I keep hearing about Chrome. Huh.

[kristories.livejournal.com]

I wasn't going to switch, I figured if Firefox was that bad they'd fix it eventually but I left the laptop unattended for a few hours while my fiancee had a tech geek friend over and voila, updated to Chrome.

It still does tabs, It gives you the option to have you main bookmarks on your toolbar and then 'other bookmarks' off to the side. I'm not minding it at all.

Address bar solution...somewhat

[silver-ingrid.livejournal.com]

This extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6227 returns the address bar to more or less the old version. It isn't perfect, but it is a hell of a lot better than the (not)"awesome" bar. Hopefully that helps.

Re: Address bar solution...somewhat

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You are awesome, thanks!

[zoniduck.livejournal.com]

Firefox 2 downloads here (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html). I would recommend that you delete v3.0 before you re-install 2.0.0.16, or you're going to have problems. It should restore all of your previous FF2 add ons and settings. At least it did for me.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I think you have made the right recommendation. 3.0 sucks ass.
