co-starring Steven Dorff

kinder, Friday, 27 May 2016 13:28 (seven years ago) link

Like maybe there's just six Dorfs for most of the movie and the audience is like, what's up with that, but then Steven Dorff briefly pokes out from behind a chair and waves at the camera and then everyone is all like, ah and there's the seventh Dorf(f), you got us but good.

an online service tentatively titled KEEP READING that somehow based on user data or something maps out interest in novels by page (like some novels really only start once you're past the first 70 pages of establishing or maybe the initial crisis/murder/plot-starting-mechanism occurs at page 92) and so when you're reading a novel that seems decent but also you're like "I wonder if it gets better" or "I wonder if it's gonna stay this way or if it kinda like starts soon" you just look it up on KEEP READING which will tell you how far you have to get into the work of art at hand (come to think of it could also be a movie but then would call it KEEP LOOKING) before it gets going and so if you're close you keep reading and if you're past it you put the book down

now that would be handy

How long until there's some Trump related parody of POTUSA's "Lump"? That seems like a terrible idea.

Google 'POTUSA's "Lump"' - it's the first result.

"Breakaway" musical equipment -- basically guitars, amps etc. that are designed to "break" on stage when you smash them but actually survive, e.g. the guitar is pre-split and held together by wires or something.

This was an Invention Exchange on an old MST3K episode!

Sharia Laws and Lambchop (The Yellow Kid), Thursday, 18 August 2016 21:31 (seven years ago) link

it's very possible I saw that episode and the idea was in the recesses of my brain as a result. I watched a lot of that show when I was younger.

I've just eaten a Sainsbury's raspberry tiramisu - basically a regular tiramisu, except that underneath the regular cocoa/marscapone/Marsala top half, instead of coffee liqueur soaked sponge, it had mashed up raspberries and regular sponge. My terrible idea it to do the reverse of that, so the coffee liqueur soaked sponge is topped with a layer of English style yellow custard and then a layer of whipped cream topped with hundreds and thousands.
