Hoo'd Win: 'hem 'hem 'hem edition
Jun. 2nd, 2008 11:32 pmThere is perhaps once in a generation when a performer finds themselves in a role that they are born to. That they seem to be built into genetically.
Today, we look at two such performers. And the same role.
They are Scott Thompson and Helen Mirren as : The Queen.
(FYI: The Royal Family has their own youtube channel.)
Admittedly, only one of them won an Academy Award for their portrayal, but the AMPAAS can't be perfect, can it?
[Poll #1198416]

An amusing joke
May. 23rd, 2008 04:07 pmBack in the '60s when Nikita Krushchev was doing his tour of the US, Kennedy took him to a classy bordello. Nikita had a great old time- he declared, " When I get back to Moscow I will set up a brothel just as good as this for our heroic workers!"
A month later he called up Kennedy with a problem: he'd set up his brothel, but there were no customers.
"Did you put in the velvet drapes?" asked Kennedy.
"Da, of course," replies Krushchev.
"And the vibrating beds?"
"Yes..."
"And the women, you have only the finest women in your brothel?"
"Of course, we chose only the very best! Every one of them has been a member of the Party for more than fifty years!"

Do not tempt the wrath of the Mall Ninja
May. 20th, 2008 01:07 pmFrom the department of "Hey, you kids, no loitering in the food court", we present:
We meet at the range every night and shoot 400 rounds each through weapons that closely resemble our duty setup. We also practice unarmed combat. I am a Master of three martial arts including ninjitsu, which means I can wear the special boots to climb walls. I don’t think any of you are working as hard as I am to be prepared. I asked a serious question about tactical armor and I wanted a serious response. If you want to laugh at somebody, try laughing at the sheep out there who go to the mall unarmed trusting in me to stand guiard over their lives like a God.
Internet wackiness is just the best thing ever.

In "I Was Reading the Wiki" News...
May. 6th, 2008 05:21 pmFor those of you who survived the early '90s, here's some sobering news: Kriss Kross members Mac Daddy and Daddy Mac are both 29.
In other news, this 2 Live Jews wiki entry is rather funny.
So now![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
zenten must go edit it or something.

2 Live Jews went on to create Disco Jews in 1994 and Christmas Jews in 1998, before quitting-with almost no notice by the media.

Torg: Oh, the Drama (deck)!
Apr. 11th, 2008 04:46 pmI found my copy of Torg 1.5 today (contemplating getting a game together for it), and tucked inside was a printout of the various Infiniverse cards that were mailed out that had been compiled onto one sheet.
The first five are neat, with one for the Living Land, one for Nile, Orrorsh, Aysle & the Cyberpapacy (no Nippon card on this sheet, though. I wonder if they did one?).
The last card is the cute one.
Card #666 is entitled "Aarrggg!!!"
In both Standard and Dramatic scenes it gives the Villains an Up and the Heroes a Setback. The Dramatic Skill Box is a Critical Problem.
The Player Effect is Deathwish:
Subplot Character is offered a chance to destroy himself and love (sic) ones instantly or play a Keefee Haroo template!
The highlight is the Approved Action: DIE HORRIBLY.
I suspect this was an April's Fool card.

I'm horrified by this.

This is so very bad. I'm horrified.
I removed the video because it seemed to auto run.

A new view on the Classics
Jan. 2nd, 2008 11:14 pmBecause it's there, and I'm bored, I present to you, Via McSweeney's Internet Tendancy: Prometheus keeps a diary.

Nov. 1st, 2007 05:26 pmAlthough (or perhaps, because) I'm no fan of KISS, I really enjoy this Letter from Beth to Pete Criss.
You say you and the boys just can't find the sound. Here: loud guitars and lots of people bellowing in a not particularly melodious way. There. Done. There's your "sound." You ain't Bowie. And, honestly, if the band is really searching for a new sound (what, is Gene going to go prog-rock? Ace trotting out a folk protest ballad?), they probably don't even need you, Peter! You're the drummer for KISS! What are you going to do, recommend more hydraulics on the drum platform? I think they'll get by without you for an evening.
