Today's best, Tomorrow's Doom? - September 10, 2008

A lot of what's going on today has to do with CERN's LHC (Large Hadron Collider) experiment because that's what's going to destroy the world. The one that we live in. The one with your favorite ice cream shop and those neighbors across the street that you never talk to. For the serious lowdown, click here, but for now, on to the fun stuff....

Drunk History vol. 3 - Featuring Danny McBride

Late one night Jen Kirkman drank a bottle and a half of wine and then discussed an historical event...

The one IM to rule them all

Occasionally, I get random people that send me a message on AIM. It used to happen quite often, but hasn't in a long while until today. It went like this:

thefoolishtook:
jen?
me:
Samwise?
thefoolishtook:
not quite
me:
not quite jen, either
thefoolishtook:
so its not the meddo plt ldr that we all know and love?
me (but really Krystle, my co-worker typing):
nope, it's the cuddly teddy bear that we all love to squeeze
thefoolishtook:
well teddy bear, tell jen to answer her phone
me:
honestly, I only know one Jen and she's my coworker and married, so I don't think she's who you're looking for
but I'll tell her to answer her phone
thefoolishtook:
uhhh sorry, i think i have the wrong sn
{thefoolishtook has gone Offline}
me (in real life):
what the hell is a meddo plt ldr?

DOES ANYBODY KNOW?

Where do they get those wonderful toys?

Kmart, probably.

This is what happens #3 - Network Champions

My roommate and I have conversations while I'm at work. Usually they're in all caps. Usually they're something like this.

him:
it is a good combo
me:

Sir Farthingtonshirebottomwick, this episode of Legume Fate Action Theatre has fallen short of expectations, lie sideways on these gastropods and await further instructions
him:
Dear Hawaiian Punch Guy, Your script was excellent. I never expected much out of you because you just punch people, but you can really really write. Please submit this to Doris Day's corpse or Mary Tyler Moore and make sure you put on a smile. You have a long ride ahead, wear pillows.
me:
hahahahaha
him:

colonel sanders arrives in a doorless car, he spits on you as he steps out. you realize he has no lower torso so you raise your hand. colonel sanders calls on you,
you ask him 'mr sanders welcome back from uranus. what new flavors did you find?'
colonel sanders 'I have seen things no man should see. you sent me off to find new flavors but instead i have discovered alien horrors the likes of which cannot be explained.'
it slowly starts raining popcorn chicken and sad music plays. the popcorn chicken becomes a storm
kfc: flavors from uranus

me:
WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE WORK

him:

"let's not fight"
camera pans away, syrup sprays everywhere

Note: The last part of this conversation references a script that Greg & I have been writing as an ongoing project. We might end up posting it here some day... when we feel it's finished enough to share.

Sam Raimi - Drag Me To Hell

Another Comic-Con recommendation:
3:45-5:15, Hall H
Universal Pictures presents key cast members, filmmakers, and previously unseen footage from its upcoming slate, including Summer 2008's The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and Death Race. Additionally, the studio will showcase talent and materials from 2009 films such as Land of the Lost and Drag Me to Hell.



This recommendation is almost entirely due to Sam Raimi's return to his signature style of horror twisted with a bit of comedy with his new movie, Drag Me To Hell. Raimi is supposed to be there to screen footage from the movie. I can't tell you whether or not I worked on what he's going to show.
