War, Southland and comment-fic, oh my!

It's interesting that the plague showing up in China and the Birthers bullshit only kind of makes me nervous, but [livejournal.com profile] tomricks interrupting his vacation to blog about shit falling apart in Iraq makes me want to crawl under my desk and kiss my ass goodbye.

Also, this article about a personal trainer who put on 88 lbs. just so he could lose it and see what it's like for his clients is pretty compelling. I think this is going to make him a much stronger trainer.

I feel like I'm saying this every time I post (and I probably am, too bad!), BUT, for those stragglers who aren't on the train yet. NBC is re-airing Southland right now in the run up to the premiere (Sept 25th) on Friday nights at 8pm. You can also watch it on NBC.com and on Hulu. They have the first four episodes up (there are only seven), so please, please please, watch it. You won't regret it. Really.

In other Southland news: Michael and Ben start filming tomorrow. If I was any more excited I'd bounce out of my chair. Oh, wait, and L is writing me comment!porn featuring slutty!Ben. You all wish you had an L, but she is mine. Okay, jointly shared with Q and A. And her family. And all of you, but you know what I mean.

Offer Redux!: Oh, and I've been thinking, you know, I had so much fun the last time around that if anybody's got some like photos or something and might want some comment-fic, you know, I think I'm open for business.* Who knows, you might even get L, A and Q to play along too. Then again, they might all boycott and you'll be stuck with me. ;-)

*You know how it goes.

So, like, WWII!Nate. Discuss. Just stick Brad's face over Ryan Phillipe's.

Cheekbones!

I do not even know what to do with this. Which is why I don't write Band of Brothers. *kicks [livejournal.com profile] thorne_scratch in shin*

You're fucking up my flow man.

No, you're right, actually. I had something vague in my head at some point, but it's gone now.

Instead, I should tell you the unfortunate story of how Brad and Nate ended up taking Nate's nephews and niece to Disneyworld, and the epic Small World ride rant about nationality stereotypes (though that's really more of a Poke thing), and how Nate manages to take a picture of Brad spinning stoically in a bright pink teacup and then send it to the entire platoon before Brad can stop him. To placate him, Nate then lets him take the kids to the Frontierland Shooting Arcade and obliterate all targets.

It is silly.

Proceed at once!

Also, I couldn't stand any of the Clint Eastwood WWII pics, so I have like zero basis for this. You got something else by any chance?

I'll let you choose the body part: ears, eyes, or throat?

(I kinda like throat; it goes with that Brad picture with the open collar.)
