the only comments I've seen all day have been about the previews for next week.

Wayne, Gumby, and getting a head
 

Assigning the name Wayne does lower the bar somewhat. If you really want your child to to get ahead, it appears you should consider moving to Germany or naming your child Gumby

Calculated and cold-blooded? Shit, thanks. I am gonna take that as a compliment. It may seem calculated and cold-blooded, but at least my kid isn't going to end up pulling a heist on your house after knocking up your daughter (I hope). The Little Fan is happy and loved and he knows it. I constantly reinforce how much I love him, how smart he is, how good he is (when he is) and how happy I am to be his mom, etc. Teaching him to respect other people, their shit and animals is not, in my opinion, bad-parenting -- quite the opposite. But this is me and my way. I don't tell other people how to do it. I have, however, shared with you how I do it and thus expect that some people, like yourself, will have an opinion and I can take it. I may even learn something from your comments (shudder). No, really. No, not really. No, really.

My God, I miss that character. He was the Best Villain Ever. "There's more than one way to skin a cat. I happen to know that that's true." That the actor's name is Harry Groener helps.

Until I checked out the TwoP recaplet, I wasn't bothered by the continuity error of Spike telling Buffy she was right all along, when he was in Gilroy (Gilroy! Gilroy!) at the time. Now it's eating at me, in addition to the fact that if Spike and Andrew had actually ridden from the supposed location of Sunnydale to the actual location of Gilroy on a motorcycle, both of them would have been carrying their nuts in a Styrofoam cup by the time they got back.

But this is counterbalanced by the thought that if I should ever lose an eye, I'll still be able to slice off a piece of fine ass on the kitchen floor.

Bonus from TwoP for American Idol fans: "Paula says that she thought Joshua was good, but he needs to be more 'free' onstage. That's not likely to happen unless the show is fortunate enough to get a laxative as a sponsor."

Yes, but even the censor-teasing HOT LESBIAN GIRL ON GIRL ACTION was pretty tame, though I did appreciate the not quite feel-up and the not quite below-waist groping. Willow/Tara was much hotter. And the Mr. sat there saying "why the fuck doesn't Faith take off her bra? It just looks ... weird." And, for viewing purposes, the Mr. finds hand-holding to be an outrageously erotic display, so that's saying something about the lack of sexiness of it all.

Maybe this really does forward the plot, and the Scoobies will defeat evil with A HUGE PULSE OF ORGASMIC ENERGY. They'd better get a lot hotter if that is the case. Shockingly tepid.

Why Mike Price got fired...
 

This is kind of sports-related but I think it's lurid enough to bring to the FB as well...

As some of you may know, Mike Price, the newly-hired head football coach of the University of Alabama Crimson Tide was fired this week before ever coaching a game (and before signing his contract). Price was allegedly fired for bringing home a couple of dancers from a strip club and engaging in various acts with them, and because one of them ran up a $1000 room service bill on his university credit card.

Sports Illustrated is reporting this week what it purports is a detailed account of the events of the night in question. The 57-year-old and very married Price says he was too drunk to really know what happened. A story giving some of the details follows:

http://espn.go.com/ncf/news/2003/0507/1550422.html

My favorite paragraph:

According to SI, Price left the club at midnight and went back to his hotel. According to one of the women involved, Price engaged "in some pretty aggressive sex" with two women in the hotel. The source told SI that at one point she and her female companion "started screaming 'Roll Tide!' and he was yelling back, 'It's rolling, baby, it's rolling.' "

Basically, Faith & the wannabes captured a Bringer to make it talk. They made Andrew talk instead, and so they learned the bringers were hiding weapons in the tunnels outside of town. Then everyone had sex, except Buffy & Spike, who exchanged really bad speeches instead of fluids. But that was still easier to watch than Alison Hannigan trying to act come-hither while sounding like she has a stuffy nose, wondering if Principal Wood was secretly gay given the amount of enthusiasm he appeared to show about Faith screwing him, and watching Xander and Anya roll around and wondering if it would make his eye socket leak. Then Buffy found an axe at the vineyard, and Faith and the wannabes found a bomb under the Bringers' weapons cache.

C'est tout.

Co-worker and I have reached a "I won't tell if you won't tell" elementary school-type understanding. So if you haven't confronted a co-worker in the past hour, you don't need to slam your door.

Luckily I'm never close to the clippers, but I seem to have radar ears when it comes to that little clip sound and gum cracking. I think we should slow down our lives a bit so we can take care of all the personal hygiene needs at home instead of proving our prowess at multi-tasking by cobining hygiene and commuting. Gives new meaning to "walk and chew gum." Other favorite peeves include make up application, those who wear curlers in public, and people who insist on reapplying their lipstick at the table in the restaurant/bar.

Thanks, I guess I really don't need to feel like I missed out. There's only 2 episodes left now, right? Are they trying to make the fans cheer that the show is finally over?

Random Buffy comment
 

Of the episode or of the preview?

spoilers for last nights episode below


The episode was wholely unmemorable. Buffy found a random house to hang out in and mope and feel sorry for herself. Spike came back, found out that Buffy was kicked out, beat on Faith a bit, and sulked away looking for Buffy. Faith took control over everyone else and got them focused to caputre one of those blind dudes. Spike found Buffy, told her he loves her, that she's special, blah, blah, Spike and Buffy spent the night together but didn't have sex. Giles, Anya, Willow, Xander and Andrew interrogated the guy they caught through some Turkish spell that had the guy talking through Andrew, and learned that the First is digging for something on the edge of town. The First visited Faith in the form of the Mayor and told her that Buffy only thinks of her as a killer. Principal dude shows up, says yeah, First generally tells the truth, and they have sex. Willow and Kennedy have sex. Anya and Xander listen to everyone else have sex, so they decide to have sex. Buffy and Spike still don't have sex. Next day, Preacher dude and First are talking about everything going according to plan, and that they need to make sure that the slayers don't end up in a particular place. Buffy shows up and successfully dodges Caleb, pissing him off. Faith leads the girls to an arsenal underground, and they're ambushed by blind dudes. Everyone fights, and they're successful in repelling blind dudes. Buffy ends up eluding Caleb and maybe goes into the place the First was talking about avoiding. Faith and girls move on underground and they find a box. Buffy finds a glowing weapon. Faith opens the box and there's a bomb. Episode ends.

Spoilers for next week's episode via preview

Lots of Buffy fighting and it looks like she has that weapon in her hand. Unclear if Faith and the others make it. Big major thing that everyone was talking about was Angel is in the episode and said something like "I missed watching you fight" and the preview ends with Buffy and Angel kissing.

Speaking from your vast experience as a hungover parent?

(Edited to clarify the nature of Bilmore's experience.)

Or you could read Bad Rich Chic's much more concise recap. Really, nothing of interest really happened. I thought last week was MUCH better than this week.

I hear tonight's Angel will change everything on that show, and it's about 99 percent postively renewed.

Although I am new to this posting thingy, I have been reading the boards for a few years and my comment would be that Penske would not, even to create a sock, claim to live in Atlanta or be a fan of the Thrashers. Nope, just wouldn't. I could, of course, be off the mark.

Thrashers(this transplanted yankee loves hockey)Fan


p.s. I retract my pledge to watch my mouth (what did you want me to do anyway, pull my fucking eyeballs out and turn them around). Asspuppy.

Good, I've been enjoying Angel. Buffy has been making me yawn. And not to be picky but the lesbian sex was, well, boring. Maybe they could actually hire a lesbian who would have a clue how to kiss another woman for real instead of having the two straight girls who are so clearly not gay try to get hot and heavy. At least Tara and Willow were sweet. This all about sex hot and heavy thing isn't really working for Willow and Kennedy.

Of course it was the first time on non pay television that two women had a sex scene that actually showed something, so I guess we should be happy for small things.

And Angel, briefly.
 

Yea! and Yea!

Actually, I thought this season wasn't too bad, other than CC being really really annoying, and getting sort of sick of "champion, blah blah" smarm. Curious as to what the change will bring next season, but I'm not afeared, because the writing is intelligent and thoughtful enough on this show that change will probably bring a good mix-up and interesting ideas.

Can I take that as a term of endearment (since you refer to your little darling as the little shit);)?

r(I wasn't accusing you of being a Penske sock, nay, quite the contrary)p

And Angel, briefly.
 

Well, the heart and soul of the writing staff, Tim Minear, is leaving to do his own thing next year, BUT Joss has nothing else to do, and the episodes that he writes tend to be pretty spectacular, so here's hoping that we're back to Buffy season one and two levels of Joss involvement.

Only if you don't tell anyone. Pretty soon everyone will want a fucking term of endearment from me and I think, like apologies, I don't have a great deal of capacity for them.

Thrashers(hmmm)Fan


edited because I suck and can't even carry a thought straight (we won't even discuss a tune).

You know, I kept trying to convince myself to like it just for that reason.

But, I mean, if lesbian sex is so unsexy, why should anyone think of it as something normal people would want to do? And Willow and Tara were in fact pretty hot - the whole long, teasing, not showing for sure thing created a pretty intense sexual tension around the characters that two not-really-into-it-straight-chicks smooching just couldn't.

However, the famed Kirk/O'Hura kiss wasn't that sexy either. (Actually, it was ridiculously comic.) It's progress.

Heh, yes your point is well taken. And yes, they were hot, and I think one of the reasons they were is because most anyone can do the longing for thing, regardless of the sex of the other person, but it really is probably not that easy to do convincing lesbian kissing/sex/whathave you, if you have never done it and aren't really into it either.

Not that I have never seen a straight actress able to pull it off. In the movie Gia, both actresses did a good job, though of course one is bisexual, and the blonde actress from Gia played convincingly on ER too when she played Weaver's lover.
Actually on that show there was a scene where she kissed Weaver's wrist or hand, I forget which, and it was pretty hot.

who's sockin who?
 

Well wide of the mark there my dear Thrashers. As I may (or may not..never say never) be out of the sock game, and as the legend of my sockery has grown to such prolific proportions, I have been, of late, intimating that I may have been certain famous, and infamous socks of yore.

For example, I may very well have been Lady Val and she may very well have been from Tennessee...Tennessee....the Volunteers....Lady Vols.....Lady Val.....things that make you go hhhhmmmmm. Now, assuming I was Lady Val, this would be shocking to the collective consciences of those who know me well here, there and abroad. Why, you ask?

Well, because (1) I'm not lady; (2) I'm a damn yankee; (3) I'm a transactional attorney and don't know what a deposition actually is; (4) I did not have sexual relations with that opposing counsel; (5) I don't have extramarital relations with anyone unless booze is involved and then only with hookers and only if Mike Price is paying; (6) I never loved Al Gore; and (7) I frequently make derogatory comments about states like Tennessee-no offense-it could be worse...think Indiana.

Additionally, lady val aside, many of my greatest second amendment (the only amendment that really counts) supporting Patriot socks from the Red States of Bush Country have been god-fearing christian gentlemen (and scholars) from the former Confederate States of America.

Or maybe those were Plated's socks. Or Chef's.

The Final Frontier: a poll
 

Yup, that's it. Damn, that was a funny episode. Did he ever kiss an Irish girl? Every other species, sure, including green fur bikini wearing chick, but guess I didn't notice the Irish one.

Poll: what's your favorite StarTrek episode? Give enough description so people can figure out which one you mean.

Mine: The one with the orange skinned albinos with "My Favorite Martian" antennae who fed cabbage and brussle sprouts to a dragon-headed computer and who didn't know about "Love" until the crew got there.

Why? Because the whole cast was actively in pain speaking the lines, and it was pretty obvious that some of them (Chekov, in particular) were doing the bare minimum their contract required under active protest. Waves of anger about how stupid the episode was just radiated from the cast. Except Shatner, who said every wretched, horrible line like he meant it. What a pro.
