  • The Film Crew Online

    Well what do you know? Me, I now know that former Best Brains Mike, Kevin and Bill have a new website involvement called The Film Crew Online. They had a few choice (funny) things to say about The Day After Tomorrow…

    Meanwhile (and there’s a boatload of meanwhiles in this movie) Dr. Hall’s brain-jock son is heading for New York, which we know from the ads is gonna take it right up the Battery, so he’s in danger and it will be up to Quaid and his team of rugged, highly inaccurate weather forecasters to save him, and if they have time, the rest of the survivors.

    As young Sam Hall, Jake Gyllenhall bolsters his reputation as the guy you get when Toby McGuire’s busy.

    Snarky, movie-bashing fun for everyone! (Still, I hate to say it but it’s not quite as funny as the In Fifteen Minutes riff. Ah well.)

  • “What are you, new?”

    From Harry Potter and the [current whatever] in Fifteen Minutes

    BIG BLACK DOG: *turns into Sirius Black*

    HERMIONE: If you want to kill Harry, you’ll have to kill us first!

    HP FANS: OMGWTF THAT WAS RON’S LINE! YOU CHANGED THINGS FROM THE BOOK!

    LOTR FANS: What are you, new?

    Hah! That’s just priceless!

    You didn’t know that I enjoy such dorky humor? What are you, new? (Heh.)

  • …we’ll take on that bastard “ennui.”

    Via blargblog and, well, a whole bunch of places… this tidbit:

    “We declared war on terror. We declared war on terror — it’s not even a noun, so, good luck. After we defeat it, I’m sure we’ll take on that bastard ennui.”

    Jon Stewart gave a commencement address that’s equal parts funny and pithy. Okay, maybe not equal parts. There’s some pith in there. A bit. Well, a line or two.

    Oh, just go read the thing for yourself.

  • Oh deer.

    Found via Jack Bog’s Blog, this gem:

    “Deer, to some, are nice and pretty and such, but to me they’re nothing more than long-legged rodents with good PR. In that regard, they’re not that different from Kate Moss.”

    If you really want a good laugh, go read the complete original post

  • One view on poly terminology.

    Found on the private website of fellow Pooligan, Kim:

    Polyamory talks about terms like being “primary” and “secondary” in relationships, but those don’t really make much sense to me, at least not most of the time. Those words are for talking about how you schedule someone in to your month, not for how much you love them, or how long you expect them to stick around. It’s not a meaningful distinction, in a lot of ways.

    Sometimes I feel exactly the same way. Sometimes not. It’s food for thought, though…

  • Fortune Favors The Cookie

    Dawn shared this bit of info with me today: “So I impulse bought something today… found this mini book on how to make fortune cookies.” I teased her about it…

    Her: What’s wrong with fortune cookies? Some of the ones they give are priceless *evil grin*
    Me: I tremble with fear at the thought of what kinds of fortunes you might include…
    Her: Liar. You do not =P
    Me: *laughter* You know me too well. Actually, to be honest, what’s really sick is I want to write fortunes for your cookies.
    Her: Writing fortunes for my cookies eh? What kind of fortunes?
    Me: They’d probably be sort of wacky. And pre-tested for whether the addition of “in bed” makes them funny.

    So here’s what I came up with on the spur of the moment…

    “Admit it: You like letting someone else take charge now and then.”

    “Perhaps your troubles really can be traced back to that one summer night.”

    “Whatever you do, don’t squeeze the rubber ducky too tightly.”

    “It can always get worse. It can also always get better.”

    “You’re going to show this to all of your friends, aren’t you?”

    And that’s just in a few minutes of brainstorming. So… give us a hand, would you? Let’s come up with some good fortunes for Dawn’s future cookies!
