  1. Re: 12 months, 12 characters. January. The Speedster Hermaphrodite! Ok, honestly, speedsters work pretty well either way, but I lean toward male simply because of my love for the Flash family.
  2. Re: And now, for your daily dose of cute... Sorry, I got delayed.
  3. Re: "Neat" Pictures I'm sure some of you remember this incredible image. sweet halloween dreams by *begemott Well, there's been an amazing development in the story of this picture. This pic is so inspiring, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is making it into a movie!
  4. Re: A Thread for Random Musings I get a lot of spam in my work email, naturally. Most are your run of the mill bot-created nonsense, often in a foreign language. Sometimes one really stands out, though. I got this today: This stands out for a couple reasons. First, it is NOT the usual stuff in my library inbox. Second, it actually has the balls to include an unsubscribe link as if it were somehow legitimate. Third, the email address that sent this message? randomletters@preventblindnesswisconsin.org.
  5. Re: And now, for your daily dose of cute... That's not fair! You're supposed to at least give me a chance to resist.
  6. Re: "Neat" Pictures Of course, this base idea is part of the reason I love the Metal Men so much
  7. Re: "Neat" Pictures Not to worry. It's a cat.
  8. Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Just started watching the British scifi show Misfits last night. I didn't realize how far you could go on British TV; some of this is outright soft core porn! Aside from that, though, there's some very good writing in there with some genuinely funny moments.

  10. Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Best Worst Movie, a documentary about Troll 2, considered the worst movie of all time. It is so bad it has achieved cult status and is very popular in the right circles. The documentary was created by the star of that movie, a boy at the time, now grown up and living with the embarrassment that was this film. I'm not a huge bad movie fan, but I do like some. Robot Jox is pure gold as far as I'm concerned, but I don't think I could ever meet with the makers and say, "This movie is so awful, I just love it!" I know that I would hate to have someone say that to me with anything I created with serious intent. I've been in some very bad productions, including the world's worst stage version of To Kill a Mockingbird, but the difference is that we had no illusions that it was good in the first place. I can revel in stories of the hideousness now because I did so then as well. But if I did something I was genuinely proud of, and heard people label it as the world's worst anything, I would find that very difficult to take. That is the tragedy of this documentary. Most of it is fun to watch as the actors realize how awful it is and and are shocked and delighted by the cult popularity. They join in the various screenings and Q&A sessions with tongue planted firmly in cheek. However, other parts are very tragic, such as seeing the director and writer who are still deluded that they have created a genuinely great piece of art and don't really understand the popularity as a love of bad film and camp. Then there's the scene where some of them fool themselves into thinking the love of the movie is more widespread than it actually is as they set up a booth at a horror convention, ignored and disgusted. Like most good documentaries, it really delves into the human element behind the story. Meeting these creators and the fans involved is pretty incredible. There are some amazing stories, like the general store owner who is an incredibly creepy character, and we discover that the actor has had mental problems his whole life and that was mostly him in a role he hardly remembers doing at all. There's the legitimate actress who refuses to put Troll 2 on her resume and says she's lost jobs because they found out she was in it. The film combines the joys of backstage fun with the horror of watching a terrible comedian dying on stage. A truly mixed pleasure.
  11. Re: Idea to art from Storn Year 10. He might wake up with the head of his favorite human in the bed...
  12. Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore Real fried chicken uses shortening
  13. Re: Jokes There were two sisters, one called Petal and one called Fridge. One day, Petal asks her parents, "Why did you call me Petal?" and they replied "Because when you were a baby, a petal fell on you." And then Fridge says "bllaaarrarararraraaarg".
  14. Re: "Neat" Pictures I wasn't sure the best place to post this, and since it's pretty neat to me, here it is! Cartoonist Jay Fosgitt (of Dead Duck fame) was doing $10 sketches on dA and I couldn't resist...
  15. Re: The Non Sequitor Thread I had an unbreakable file holder in the library. Somebody broke it.
