I am calling a moratorium

Okay, it is Friday. Please come and talk to me about something other than politics, racism, work, fuckwittery or the United States being the work of the devil. Massive bonus points if you provide porn. Or at least something to make me smile/laugh/not be homicidal for longer than 5 seconds.

ETA: And in return I offer you Truthful TV Title Cards, because talk about accuracy. And FYI: Name that Cylon will be back on January 16, 2009. And I really really wish there was a show called Drink Smoke Fuck. Oh, wait, there is!

Okay, those are just effing weird. And creepifying. I thought the point was to create something cute, not something you'd think up on a bad acid trip.

[identity profile] serialkarma.livejournal.com 2008-10-17 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Those TV title cards are *awesome*. (Project Runway would be The Show Where Tim Gunn is GOD.)

This isn't intrinsically funny (or porny), but I saw this and thought Wow, that takes cojones!

Okay, hmm. I have to say that I would totally pester you on that whole High School AU thing, because I love AUs and I love not-really-High-School High School stories and Brad and Nate and all those flavors would go really well together.

As for something shiny and non-political: A playlist of all 4 aired Merlin episodes, for easy watching in 5 minute chunks of squee. (http://www.youtube.com/profile_play_list?user=KeepTheMagicSecret) (it's that new BBC show that's so hilariously slashy it out-gays Smallville)

That always makes me laugh. Nothing to talk about, but *shrugs*, a nice break from politics etc

Never fails to make me laugh. ;)

When the HELL did I start considering 20 pages a snippet?

Yeah, I'm wondering this myself!

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2008-10-17 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
You remember back in the day when 10 pages was long? I remember that. I think it has a lot to do with Generation Kill itself since it's a closed canon with such a small fandom that when you go outside you can just, well, make a mob!AU. Thank God I already wrote Trade or there'd probably be a pimps and hoes story too ;)

LOL. What very very little i've been pondering can be found on this thread (http://hackthis.livejournal.com/503609.html?thread=13875513), but as I just don't have enough steam at the moment I expect this will just turn into an excuse for them to have sex in the locker room.

There is no bad there, is there? Huh.

Word, baby. Fucking word.

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2008-10-17 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
You know, I keep hearing about this Merlin, I'm totally going to have to check it out, aren't I?

As I told [livejournal.com profile] dine what very very little i've been pondering WRT to the high-school AU can be found on this thread (http://hackthis.livejournal.com/503609.html?thread=13875513), but as I just don't have enough steam at the moment I expect this will just turn into an excuse for them to have sex in the locker room.

Not that that is BAD thing...

Okay, clearly failblog is what was needed today, although I think my original typo of 'failboy' may be closer to the real issue.

DUDE, for a second I thought that was some kind of weird cat!Furby (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furby). Since Furbies gave me nightmares when I was a kid, I am definitely going to have to put it in the 'OH GOD GET IT AWAY' category.

Oh, do give Merlin a chance. It is so freaking adorable, it makes my days better just thinking about it. It's not historically accurate or particularly serious, but the characters are fun and the developing relationship between the young Merlin and the just-as-young Arthur is a joy to watch.

And there is nothing wrong with a bit of locker room porn :D

[identity profile] alessandriana.livejournal.com 2008-10-17 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Agreed...

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2008-10-17 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, is the bloke in your icon in Merlin, because he looks like he's in drag. I'm serious! Look at his lipstick!

That's Arthur, but the lipstickiness might be due to my messing around with colors and contrasts too much in photoshop. And, uhm, would that be a deal-breaker?

LOL. Not at all, sweetie, I was just curious.

The first promo pics for the new Trek reboot movie came out, and are very pretty! Simon Pegg looks wonderful and has a hilarious "WTF, you're kidding me" expression on.

This show is all about how much they can make Merlin and Arthur touch/ look at/ talk about/ defend/ save each other. It's really kind of ridiculous. Though I hear it's not as much fun for people who don't see the slash (I don't know any of those people, though, so they might be a myth).

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2008-10-17 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
So, are they going to have sex soon or what? I'm just trying to gauge this based on way they're eye-fucking.

Well, probably not on-screen, since it's a late afternoon/early evening show on the BBC and *kids might see omg*, but by episode four the show has gone through what feels like every slash trope known to womankind. Since Russel T. Davies has had some involvement in the show's conception, I believe it's fair to say that it's intentional.

Also, on the Washington Post's website today, the headline about the baseball game yesterday was "Rays Somehow Lose Game 5." Heeeeee.
