Some days I want to be written by Frank Miller. So I can yell WHORES at random and get looks of concern rather than the usual pity. WHORES

I can't remember the source, but there's some sci-fi story I've read where the conclusion reads along the lines of "They could withstand the fiecest of our weapons, they could defeat us intellectually, but in the end, I think they died of sheer culture shock" - the looks on the faces of the scientologists when faced with a crowd in which a lone voice shouts:
"I HEAR TOM CRUISE HATES MUDKIPS!"
(all) "NOOOOOOOOOOO!"
... how do you fight that?
How do you, ideologically speaking, defeat a crowd that is enthusiastically demanding that you "DO A BARREL ROLL! DO A BARREL ROLL!!" ?
I found myself very pleased about being British.

I'm reading this and trying to remember who everyone is from the acronyms but since I'm still waiting for the coffee to brew to wake up braaaain, I'm just picturing entire television channels of young cuties making out in black denim and fingerless gloves.
"Tonight, on SPN, Wacky hijinks ensue when Gerard thinks Frank stole his guyliner on Everybody Loves Romance! Followed by a new episode of Emo's World starting at nine."
....C'mooooon, coffee.

So, uh, what exactly do these "stage gays" do on stage? Cause I don't think I like any of the bands mentioned but depending on how far they take the stage gay I might be tempted to take in a performance or two.
You know, for research purposes.

Does it count if there's actual gay mixed in with the stagegay? I think Wham should be disqualified on those grounds. It's no fair having a ringer!

Alas, no owl sightings today but I did spot a colorful-looking teamster hanging around the lunch tent. Sadly, however, there was no one around to offer up wildlife commentary. Still it would've been hard to beat David Hewlett's reaction upon spotting the owl yesterday. "My invitation to Hogwarts!" he piped up. "It's finally arrived!"

By the by, if anyone does have any video of Neil being snogged by Jonathan Ross at the Eisner Awards, pretty please put it on YouTube. Or email it over. Or both.
Regards,
The Official Web Elf
PS from Neil, you don't have to, honest.
PPS from Web Elf, ignore that last PS.

So I went to the midnight release party for That Book, right? You know the one? Anyway, they had employees dressed up in costume and stuff, etc etc. Anyway, there was one wandering around with a "Daily Prophet" newspaper and the headline "BLACK ESCAPES AZKABAN". With a picture of Conrad Black.

It's rather like wank, watching the news, especially when it's politics. Labour is the "ship" that's in power, declared the "canon ship" even though it's not really canon canon. The Tories, Lib Dems and other parties are other ship supporters.
Tony (now Gordon) is the B-est of all BNFs in the "canon ship" and they sort of direct the British people fandom where they want it to go, even if it's to whore to the US crossover with some other fandom to create something total non-sensical (Doraemon/Astro Boy OTP!). It could be because Tony is friends with the BNF of that fandom, George. It could be because they're sleeping together. It could also be because they like to create controversy/wank, or are, in fact, batshit insane. Every now and then they go too far and their own fellow shippers scream WTF and revolt. Sometimes George the BNF is so ineloquent you wonder why he is a BNF, and every time you hear him talk/mumble, you just go *face palm* and change the TV channel scroll down.
Sometimes, we wish we could just vote people out of fandom. Gordon slots right into the hole Tony left and the fandom cries, "we never asked for this!"
Every time Labour does something wrong, the other shippers jump up and point fingers and go "HA! Yours isn't the canon ship afterall!" They demand inquiries, to disprove that Labour is the one-true-ship. Others write investigative reports fandom essays to say that their ship is actually better. Sometimes a particular fresh event scene in the latest episode pops up and creates a massive stir - Labour says "Look, see here, war on terror needs the money THEY TOUCHED HANDS!" and Tories say, "yeah but our own society is broken, spend the attention and money at home our pairing GAZED LONGINGLY AT EACH OTHER."
Everyday we get updates on the whole wankage by the news and critics fandom_wank and popular LJ-ists. Every now and then people abandon ship or declare they're leaving the fandom. As if the rest of the people would actually care. Of course, their close friends and sockpuppets would weep, but they'd be forgotten and only every now and then show up in the history book Fandom Wank Wiki, but only if they're worth mentioning.
But in the end, for the majority of the population fandom, all we want is just to happily carry on with our lives fandom activities. Where is the porn gone, anyway?

Pan: The best place for a climactic showdown with hostile alien robots is in the middle of a densely populated city.
Chapel: Didn't you just describe the final three minutes of every episode of Power Rangers?
Pan: .....yes

Nothing says Gears of War quite like khaki pulled high. And a polo shirt. A yellow polo shirt.

More countries should say no to movies with Tom Cruise.

The point of a Fantastic Four movie is NOT to go - wow, best movie ever.
It's to put on your big green cape and run around the theater shouting - DOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!! AHAHAH! Doom demands a Caramello! Someone must fetch Doom a caramello now, or DIE!

Nothing says "start-up company" like most of the employees engaging in a Nerf gun fight while two bosses circle in the centre of the room, dueling with pool-noodles while the "Captain Kirk Fight Song" blares on a set of computer speakers in the background.

So... Steve wakes up, walks into his bathroom, and we see Tony stepping out of the shower?
Hey, whatever it takes to retcon CW. I'm willing to accept Teh Mighty Ghey Avengers -- Cap can say he's just doing this 10% of the time to fully represent all of America's sexual orientations, and Tony is a slut anyway. :-)

This year's AMV competition at Ohayocon was unusual for one very big reason -- there wasn't a single AMV set to an Evanescence song. I don't think that's happened since "Fallen" came out back in '93. You could almost hear the entire auditorium breathe a sigh of relief.

And do not break the Internet while I'm away. Look, I am putting it just up here, on top of the wardrobe, where it will be nice and safe...

Right. I had better go and buy food and do all those other things one does on getting back from a week away, which today I think include pretending that the person-high mounds of mail on the kitchen table don't exist.

The best thing about going for walks in the woods are the cats, who pretend they aren't really along for the walk, but are merely there by some kind of feline coincidence. Today the cat pretending she wasn't actually accompanying me was Princess, who was extremely well camouflaged.

Remind me not to post about breaking the Internet again: first newBlogger spams poor Livejournal on my first post back, and then my own internet connection goes down completely on January 1st, when there are no help people at the end of the helpline, and it's another full day until they can get it back online.
Obviously there are things one must not joke about. I am beginning to suspect that the Internet is watching us, and its feelings are easily hurt.

Small parental moment of proud happiness -- my son Mike, having obtained his Masters in, er, computery stuff, had to decide whether to accept a job offer from an unidentified computer company named after a fruit or a job offer from an equally unidentified search engine company named after a lot. Both were things he wanted to do. He made his decision, and will now be joining the ranks of the employed.
[...]
I formally gave him the framed Bernie Mirault/Matt Wagner page from the "Origin of the Riddler" story I wrote, as his Hurrah You Now Have A Job That Does Not Actually Involve Preparing Fast Food Present, and wrote that it was now officially his on the back.
