The battle was a tie. Kell and Dave Thomas emerged in a draw. Congratulations to you both! ::crowns them with laurels::
I just saw the first half of the “Mists of Avalon” miniseries. I really wish that people still dressed like that! I love all of those Medieval clothing styles! They’re just so nifty! Last year, I wore a dress like that to the Winter Formal, and I got oodles of compliments. Bwahaha! And those hairstyles, when not made entirely of dreadlocks, were awesome. I wish I could do that with my hair, but it’s not thick enough, and probably not long enough either. ::sigh::
Holy cow… I haven’t updated WIAN in nearly a month. I’ve got to get cracking!
Transcript of 60 Minutes – Andy Rooney (it was . . . funnier when you saw it. Really.)
All of use who work in television news are constantly being accused of emphasizing the negative side of everything. We get letters saying we never cover a story unless something terrible happends.
Tonight we’ve put together a little news broadcast to give you an idea of how it would look if you had it your way.
“I’m here by the Mississippi. It’s raining but the river is not overflowing its banks.
“As a matter of fact, it doesn’t look to me as though there’s any danger of a flood whatsoever. People are not piling up sandbags. No one has been forced to evacuate his home and the Governor has not asked that this be declared a federal disaster area.”
“O’Hare Airport in Chicago is one of the nation’s busiest. At 11 A.M., a jet aircraft with 168 passengers and ten crew members on board started down the long runway. The plane, headed for London, took off without incident . It landed without incident too. Everyone on board is now in London.
“One passenger on board that plane was quoted as saying he didn’ t like the fake milk they served with the coffee.”
“For a report from New York City we take you to our correspondent standing in front of the Plaza, one of the New York City’s most luxurious hotels.
“This is the Plaza, one of New York City’s most luxurious hotels. CBS News has learned that last evening, after a night on the town, the Shah of Franakapan and his semi-beautiful wife returned to their hotel suite after depositing more than a million dollars’ worth of jewelry in the hotel safe. The jewls included the famous Cooch Behar Diamond.
“This morning, when the safe was opened, all the jewelry including the famous Cooch Behar Diamond was right there where they’d left it.”
“In Florida, the orange crop was hit by another night of average weather.
“The oranges just hung in there and grew.”
“Oil industry officials announced today they were lowering prices because they just don’t need the money. One reason for their affluence is their safety records.
“The oil tanks behind me are very close to a residential area. If they were on fire, smoke would be seen billowing up for miles around. They aren’t on fire, though; they’re just sitting there.”
“In Detroit, a General Motors spokesman announced today that more than 174,000 Chevrolets made in the late fall of 1974 would not be recalled. They are all perfect.
“At eleven-thirty this evening, CBS News will present a special report listing the serial numbers of those cars.”
And if that’s what you want to hear, that’s the way it was.
Good evening.
Take the evil quiz! ::cackles:: Thanks to fellow RMLer Liz for the link. She definitely owed me something amusing after shattering my innocence even further by telling me of the existence of HHGTG slash. Excuse me, I’m off to go kill myself… meanwhile, go ahead and take the quiz. Find out if you are truly evel, or merely evil. Here’s one question just to give you an idea of the scope of the test:
QUESTION #1: How do you start your morning routine?
A) Wake up at 6:00 A.M. and sing merrily in the shower!
B) A five mile jog and rigorous set of exercises.
C) Hit the snooze alarm for the tenth time in as many minutes.
D) Have a cup of coffee, read the daily newspaper and then plot the downfall of western civilization.
All of LiveJournal is dead except for Ann’s blog. I think I have a good idea who’s responsible…
::flails:: What happened to Rebecca’s blog?!? ::continues to flail::
Why is the logo for Square Pictures a rectangle?
My local Blockbuster is giving away free Wilson antenna balls if you rent or buy the DVD of Castaway. I want one! ::frowls:: Of course, this becomes difficult, because I’d rather gouge my eyes out with a tape dispenser than watch Castaway again. I need a cunning plan…
I must tell you the glorious tale of our adventures at Chili’s last night. As you may know from reading past entries in my blog, Chili’s is the official restaurant of the JETS, so naturally we’d choose to go there for dinner before Final Fantasy. Anyway, in her email that explained our plans, Chungy mentioned that she wanted to do something besides looking at a bunch of my CGs all evening. Because of that, I decided to bring my sketchbook to show off all the recent sketches I’d done. Evidently, the sketchbook attracted the attention of one of the waiters. He had spiky black hair, earrings, and a 6B graphite pencil with a giant Pichaku on the end. He asked if he could see my drawings. Chungy jumped on the situation and told me to show him the drawing of Professor Trelawney. I showed it to him, and Chungy immediately started taunting him with “I bet you’ll never figure out what it’s a picture of!”. After about 10 seconds of staring at it, he said “Is it Harry Potter turning into a woman?” Naturally, we all started laughing our heads off. Loudly. We attracted many stares. We were amused.
Because he rather liked my art, he decided to give me the pencil, sans Pokemon eraser capper, and introduced himself as “Swift”. Still thinking along the lines of gratitude for the pencil gift, I shook his hand, saying “Why thank you!” I immediately realized what I had said and we all laughed again. He said something along the lines of “no, I meant ‘what’s your name’.” I responded “My name is ‘Why thank you’!” He responded “So what’s up, Why Thank You?”. Good times, good times.
Somewhere during our conversation, Chungy brought up WIAN, which he thought was nifty. He mentioned a deep interest in the internet, and told me that he could get me a thousand extra hits a week. Rather dubious, I thanked him anyway. He kept making reference to his “sources”, which were clearly meant to try to impress me, though it wasn’t that effective. Oh well. He tried. XD
Chungy was quite convinced that he was trying to hit on me, which was probably rather accurate. I was certainly amused. While at Chili’s, we also got to see Brian the Evil Waiter, who once snubbed us when we brought in a group of 16 and refused to seat us, even though we had called ahead for reservations at least 5 hours in advance, instead choosing to seat a pack of anorexic teenyboppers from Urseline, a semi-rival all-female school. We had a rather amusing segment on this topic in the farewell video we made for Nancy, who graduated this year. We even got some footage of Brian telling us exactly why we couldn’t be seated. The sound didn’t pick up that well because the restaurant was so loud, so we plan to dub out his voice with amusing comments such as “I haven’t had a date in years” and “I live in my mother’s basement”. It’s a rather mature way of dealing with minor annoyances, don’t you think?
This post has gotten to be quite long. I should shut up now, don’t you think? Why sure.
