Odds and sods

[hackthis_archive]

1. A few weeks ago I mentioned that my hotass girlfriend, Christina Hendricks, was in the new Broken Bells video. Y'all it's so depressing. And a big ode to Firefly I would guess. Still the hottest in the land. Especially when she's teasing Elizabeth Moss.

2. Thank you alethialia and inmyriadbits for my footballs!

Speaking of football...

3. Americans, are you sober yet, because I know yesterday's match left a lot of people looking for the worm at the bottom of the bottle of Mezcal?

I have to admit when the game started I was happy for both sides. I was totally willing to see Ghana win. And then they won and I was so sad! My poor babies! Tim Howard! Benny Feilhaber! Michael Bradley, I was so willing to be your cougar.

People, if there is no consolation sex between Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey after this I will lose my faith in the entire world. Seriously. Clint kept getting smacked in the mouth and when it was over all those tears. C'mon, you know there has to be consolation we'll get'em next time fucking.

3 1/2. Alexi Lalas. Keep being awesome, because holy shit that dude you are working with is a dumbass.

4. Dear England,

This morning the following conversation transpired while you were playing:

Person X: Who's playing
Me: Germany v England
X: How's it going?
Me: Germany totally has England over its knee.
X: Wow... I have not heard that expression before.
Me: Yes, but it's still fitting.

And I was talking about when the score was only 2-0!

All due respect, but Alexi was right, y'all are not as good as your paychecks and egos think you are.

5. Walton Goggins (Boyd Crowder, people!) is going to be playing a criminal in Predators, the film. This film also has Larry Fishburne, Adrian Brody. Huh.

5 1/2. And then there is also Inception, which was written and directed by the most awesome Chris Nolan. It stars Ellen Page (!), Joseph Gordon Levitt (!!!!!) and Cillian Murphy (!!!!!!!). It also has Leo DiCaprio, but I don't like him so whatevercakes.

6. Back to football for a minute. Maradona, your team, they are bad fucking ass, no doubt. BUT. Have y'all thought of coming out of the 80s and cutting your mullets and other various offensive hair styles? I'm just saying.

7. I was gonna give y'all some music today (It's gonna be all All Female Mix), but I'm a bit knackered, so I'll hook you up later this week.

8. no_detective and scribblinlenore I heard my first Adam Lambert song this weekend and thought of you. I can hear people gasping in shock*, I know what came over me, but I was forced to listen to the radio (which I avoid like Fox and Friends) and "What Do You Want From Me" came on and it was not bad.

*I do not do the radio or American Idol or pretty much anything owned by Mega Corporation or Simon Cowell or Clear Channel. That's how's it possible to avoid these things.

:laugh:

I so agree, the players do need a haircut. Hey maybe they are like Hercules, once their hair gets cut they can't play.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I mean okay, so Samson was pretty helpless after Delilah cut his hair, but at least he didn't look like a hair metal reject!

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

I was vaguely interested in Inception when I saw the first trailer. When I saw the Cillian involvement I knew I was going opening weekend.. Joseph Gordon Levitt? Ah, as if I needed additional justification.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

EXACTLY.

[knowledgequeen.livejournal.com]

QOTD seen on Twitter: "I have not seen the Germans abuse the English this badly since the end of 'The Great Escape.'"

[ionaonie.livejournal.com]

That is a brilliant quote and completely true.

God, but we were awful.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Wow. I was totally thinking of the Blitz. I won't lie.

>>People, if there is no consolation sex between Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey after this I will lose my faith in the entire world. <<

I totally need this. NEED IT. Ahem.

I didn't even *like* Landon Donovan before this World Cup. (back in the late 90s, when LD came back from Europe, everyone was all, Landon Donovan will save U.S. Soccer! But he didn't! We used to call him Landon of Nazareth).

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I like how Clint is totally his enforcer. He's all rough and tumble and Landon's tiny and cocky. Yeah, I stand by my assessment he's a really mouthy bottom.

[enemyfrigate.livejournal.com]

Oh, man, I can't unsee that. LD is absolutely a mouthy bottom. (He is the # 10, after all). Oh dear. Now I might need fic. Shit. I don't do RPS. And yet.

Now I'm having thoughts. Shit.

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

I had absolutely no interest in Inception because I am not a Leo fan, but then I saw a trailer and it was awesome and Joseph Gordon Levitt! So I will definitely be seeing it. And I have no interest in Predators until I saw that Walton Goggins was it, but I have a very bad feeling that he dies early in the movie, so I'm not sure I'm going to bother with that.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Those were my sentiments about Inception exactly. Don't care... don't care... ooooh, Ellen Page... don't care... oooh, Joseph Gordon Levitt.... maybe I care... Michael Caine and Cillian Murphy? Fine! You win!

And yeah, I got that same Walton feeling, but still! Walton and his crazy hair!

OMG, yes! I need it now. *makes grabby hands*

Re: #8. YAY! *twirls and twirls and twirls*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I was telling enemyfrigate that Clint is totally Landon's enforcer. He's all rough and tumble and stubbly and then Landon's all compact and small and he's totally a mouthy bottom, and the only time he shuts up is when Clint's fucking him. But it has to be fairly hard otherwise Landon's just running on at the mouth. And then I kind of want to throw Tim and Michael Bradley and Benny Feilhaber in the mix. They just need to have a televised orgy. For my sake.

I couldn't believe it when they were all and this is Adam Lambert and I was all, oh, hell, why not. And it was not offensive to my ears.

[enemyfrigate.livejournal.com]

And now I'm seeing Michael Bradley and Benny Feilhaber fic. And Bocanegra being the team slut.

But Altidor doesn't get any because he kept pissing me off. Someone needs to explain to him that strikers are meant to get the ball in the fucking net. See, now I'm seeing crack fic where LD tells Altidor he's not allowed to play reindeer games with the boys because he he kept whiffing the ball. He has to go sit in the hallway and be dejected while they all have an orgy.

I blame this entirely on you, hackthis.

[mardia.livejournal.com]

Alexi was right, y'all are not as good as your paychecks and egos think you are.

Seriously, WORD. I think FIFA's being a bunch of idiots w/r/t the tech, but there was nothing about that game to convince me that England had the better team.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

TRUFAX!

Sad, but true story? My son stops fussing when we play Adam Lambert. *sigh* The world doesn't know the pain of having to interrupt The Headstones to cheer up a 4 month with Adam Lambert

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

LMFAO. He knows what he wants, you have to give him some credit. :)

[lorientad.livejournal.com]

3. i totally agree with you, i was so confused at the end of the match. actually for some Dempsey/Donovan comfort smut you may have to write because there is NO WAY i'm able to. ;)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

There just needs to be a team USA orgy on my TV. You know to make up for the pain of the loss.

[lorientad.livejournal.com]

i agree! but that will stay wishful thinking i'm afraid. $sigh$

4) God, but were dismal. Awful. Appalling.

It was one of the most embarrassing performances we have never put on.

In fact, this entire World Cup I'd like to wipe from the collective memory.

The worst of it is, those players, individually - or, well, playing for their clubs - are awesome players.

Rooney doesn't know how to not to score for Manchester United. Terry is amazing in Chelsea's defence and Lampard is such a presence of Chelsea as well. Gerrard is a brilliant player for Liverpool. I could keep going, but I won't *g*

But take all these players away from their clubs and they seem to forget how to play. It's horrible to watch because we know how good they are on a club level.

one day we will get a manager who knows how to get the best out of them, the same way their club managers do. It will probably take years for that to happen, but one day.

Germany utterly deserved the win, no doubt about it.

But, hell, FIFA really need to get line technology in. How many goals have been disallowed/ignored now?

6) HAHAHAHA ROTFLMAO No, they haven't thought of doing that *g*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

No offense, but Germany kicked ass. And I have no doubt that individually they're all great, but football isn't a individual sport. Maybe people need to get *that* tattooed on their bodies.

As for disallowed goals the US had a few, but I haven't really seen it in any other matches this WC and I've seen a LOT of matches. Although Argentina got one they shouldn't have yesterday b/c they were offside.

[ionaonie.livejournal.com]

Oh, I agree completely. Germany outclassed us in every way possible. They made our players look like they were in a Sunday league team who met about once every six months to play football.

And no, football isn't an individual sport. Not by a long shot. It's all about the team. I think my point was that when they are playing in their respective teams, they are brilliant players because they have a team they all know how to work with and you see their quality.

Somehow that never comes out when they play in the World or European Cups. The last time I can honestly say we played well as an England team was Euro '96 when we got to the semi-finals and then lost to Germany on penalties.

It's kind of ridiculous how mental England goes when we play on the world stage, because we never do well and everyone is so disappointed despite the fact that we all kind of expect to go out early anyway.

I saw that offside goal. That was terribly unfair too. Not quite The Hand of God, but close.

I would argue that 3 disallowed goals (when they are onside etc etc) and one terribly offside goal in one tournament - and not even the entire tournament, only the first half - is terrible and something FIFA should be ashamed of.

You would think so, but we know that FIFA is like the US government and Parliament. There is no shame to be found when you are in charge.

[enemyfrigate.livejournal.com]

They should be completely ashamed.

IMO, they need to add instant replay just for disallowed goals. Before it can be official, they have to review it. That can change the entire rhythm of the match, and in tournament play, you might need that goal difference to advance.

[antheia.livejournal.com]

I still can't even talk about England. They have four years to put together a squad not entirely comprised of arrogant divas who don't know how to pull their shit together. *SIGH*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Baby, you know this is what we said the last time around though. And the time before that. Just saying.

[antheia.livejournal.com]

I know, I know. In fairness, that quarter-final run in '02 was really lovely.

*sigh*

[snarkaddict.livejournal.com]

WHY DOESN'T THE VIDEO PLAY? GRRRRR! But yay for breaking your Adam cherry, lol! You should watch that song's video! Adam's just a woobie who wants to be loved!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Which video doesn't play? I will find you another one! Y'all and your Cult of Lambert, nuh uh, not sucking me in!

[snarkaddict.livejournal.com]

Both! :( Hahahaha, seriously, bb! HIS FACE! In HD on YouTube! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozHe-83wg0s) His latest video, If I Had You (a d/l link, just for you!) (http://www.mediafire.com/?zdvmgfunfy5!)

Also, there may be hair-pulling AND/OR playful air-biting gifs available of Adam and his tiny tiny bouncing bassist. Maaaaaybe.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You Lambert Lambs are like crackfiends. Wow.

Try these: Inception (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3XzUYd6nrU) and Predators (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9u8vZwvP57Y).

[chicklet-girl.livejournal.com]

It also has Leo DiCaprio, but I don't like him so whatevercakes.

OMG, I thought I was the only one with DiCaprio Issues. *clings to you*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

He is so overrated and overhyped. And greasy. And unattractive. Then again, I'm not a fan of Martin Scorsese either and they seem to go hand-in-hand.

[battleofhydaspe.livejournal.com]

I'm honestly fascinated with Boyd Crowder. Goggings is doing a really good job with that character!

Yeah, that was a little random.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Boyd is clearly the star of Justified. I love Raylan and Art and Helen, but Walton Goggins deserves some serious recognition for all he's doing with a character that actually gets killed in the short story the series is based off of.
