Chicago: Malort Cocktail

The "CGI space battles" on the one episode of Babylon 5

those were infamously terrible

(yes, i just admitted to watching babylon 5)

I kinda like Fringe, but mostly because of Daniels and all the other Wire cameos and because the crazy scientist guy reminds me v v much of my father-in-law.

ugh babylon 5 blewwwwwwww

i also feel weirdly guilty about not getting into firefly (for reasons i believe i've stated before)....it's like it ~should~ be right up my alley, but whatever

xp tried watching fringe and that it was garbage. a cheap assembly of myriad, better shows

the whole helo is on caprica w/sharon. i understood it to be flash-back for the entire season and then it's like ~bam~ tricked ya it's been happening concurrently the entire time!

waht, i don't remember this

no, see, that's the thing. it didn't happen! i'm guessing it was established in the pilot that helo was downed on caprica w/sharon and that everything that was happening was going on at the same time. i just thought that it was a flashback because, you know, TWO sharons

The pilot doesn't fully explain everything. You don't find out why Gaius sees a Cylon until the series finale and you don't find out who the Cylons really are until the end of season four.

GUYS you are getting into spoiler territory for JVC, but Jordan he's talking about something that was ongoing throughout the entire first season so you should really remember it.

ah, ok, stop talking about it, NO SPOILERS (<--- which is why i'm not reading the ILX threads devoted to BSG)

And Evan you need to watch the pilot, stat.

Another reason not the read the ILX BSG threads is because there are like three people who shit all over the show like it's their fucking job, basically shutting down any possibility of there being any discussion of the show that doesn't revolve around why it sucks.

DLing

btw i <3 u starbuck

first season was so long ago

You don't find out why Gaius sees a Cylon until the series finale

but this was only a couple weeks ago and i don't remember an actual explanation!

I didn't see it coming at all when Gabriel Byrne bites the gymnast/patient in the neck and it turns out that he is a colonel in the army of the undead.

that was explained in the webisodes

Hey, the gal who acted in my radio-show play is now on Scrubs and is funny on the webisodes (haven't seen the real onez).

i am basically DLing 8GB of video at the moment

I am trying not to read this thread because I am somewhere in the middle of season 2 of BSG and I fear spoilers. It is hard.

Yeah, I may want to watch it, too. I didn't even read the Obama article in last week's Onion.

There is only one really spoilery thing here, and Dr. Johnson, it is of something that you already know about if you are in the midst of season 2.

Definitely wise to avoid that Onion article, though.

Okay. I have actually been unable to totally 100% get into BSG as of yet, perhaps because my girlfriend won't watch it. I feel like I just need to take a whole day and watch like 4 dvds worth or something.

girlfriends are lame

I thought Jeff posted that too!

srsly do you even read past the first few words anyone writes

seriously i didn't actually think jeff posted it
i meant that before i reached your username i thought "jeff"

i apologoze for any inconvenience

Yes, to be fair, it was awfully Jeff-like.

And I, like Jesse, thought "Jeff" until I read a bit further and realized it was not Jeff.

going forward please identify yourselves at the beginning of a post

you first

YES

I have an interview back at the Pr3ss next week.

Awesome, congrats.

Alright Dan!!!

I have to write an order denying a petition for attorneys' fees, and I have to reference three different petitions and two different hearings attended by three different attorneys from the same firm, and it's not entirely clear which of the three attorneys performed or failed to perform which actions that, taken as a whole, lead to the decision to deny the petition for fees and the end result is that I am going into a passive voice coma.

A passive voice coma is being entered by me.

Also it's funny how saying, "Again, no evidence was offered in support of the motion" is kind of neutral, but if you say, "Once again, no evidence was offered in support of the motion" it's kind of like a little implied FU.

Actually I think "again" is a little FU by itself, and "once again" is a touch too far.

Like you're taking your FU and putting a frilly little hat on it.

LOLyers: Putting frilly little hats on FUs since 753 BC.

kenan will you tell me about your screen name? i am amused by it.

xxpost My friend D. and I have freakin' epic arguments about exactly that kind of thing. It's even more fun on Skype, what with the shaky sound tech and things misheard. Last night he mumbled something about the copy we were editing that I didn't hear very well, and then he said "Oh, nevermind," and then I insisted he repeat it because I didn't hear it well, and then I mercilessly tore his sentence a new one, and then he got mad at me for making him repeat it when he'd already told me to ignore it.

Good times.

It reminds me of the Vic Chestnutt song "Doubting Woman" on Is The Actor Happy?:
i was supposed to tell you about the point of departure
but with the aim of a drunken archer
i will probably stray
but you can see in her bold eyebrow
you can see in that fancy cup
that even her freakish nipples are akimbo

kenan will you tell me about your screen name? i am amused by it.

heh, I'm glad. So am I.

It came from this thread: Chuck Asay died for your sins: batshit rightwing cartoonists 2009

But I kept it because it reminds me of the Carlin "7 dirty words" routine, where he points out that the word "tits" doesn't belong on the list at all.

It seems like such a friendly word. Sounds like a nickname. "Hey Tits, come here man! Tits! Meet my friend Toots. Toots, Tits. Tits, Toots."

jenny say "here we go again with the lack of evidence." then you'll sound like my boss (Ll66y)

Xp LOL her tits!!

Jesse, that thread is good and you should read it.

xp They are indeed akimbo. No better word that I know for what those tits are.

Also:

Malort Cocktail:
the local drink,
and all she wants to do is dance dance dance.

Mix 'em right
in the kitchen sink
and all she wants to do is, all she wants to do is dance.

And make romance.

Which tastes worse: Malort vs. Don Henley

Body shots of Malort off Don Henley's abs

Then sit in a bathtub and cry and scrub until your skin bleeds

Would it not be fun to go to Bar Chicago or wherever and buy drunk folks shots of Malort and watch their reaction?

(without giving any preface)

That would be a lot of fun, actually. Especially with a bit of flash photography.
