The smart/cute brunet dream team! I stole this from The Open Piehole. Watch the video whilst I swoon away in pure delight at two of the nicest, smartest, cutest, leftie, socially-conscious men around.
Take that, Limbaugh, you deluded pillhead!

Most actors look good in front of a camera

There’s irony to be found before the end of the first line.

Oh. My. God.
Thank you for that. Hilarious!

Michael J Fox never ceases to amaze me, what a guy.

He’s my hometown boy, yo. I did an earlier post about him and his generosity to Children’s Hospital, years ago before he was diagnosed. I’m still iffy on stem cell research, but I do support informed political engagement like his.

Yeah, I have to be honest, some of the newer fields in genetics I think require more informed debate, because if we don’t have it now, then further down the line they’re are bound to be some weird moral and ethical crises, if thing weren’t thought through. I just really admire his spirit though, he don’t give up, he’s like Christopher Reeves, its so refreshing in a world where everyone moans non stop to see someone who has every reason to moan, and yet is positive and forward looking.
…all that and he played a mean version of Go Johnny Go.

Yes he did. I love the line “Where’d you learn to shoot like that?” “7-11.”

Even as irreverant, cynical and generally downbeat as I am, what else can you say about the guy except ‘We’re rootin’ for you!’

Unless you’re Rush Limbaugh. You should see Iain Dale’s site; there are actually people there who STILL feel that Fox is mendacious. The sheer doublethink involved in the whole bizarre cryptocracy is such that they must sprain their brains every morning upon waking, which explains some of the eedjuts they’ve elected.

Well, I AM fat and obnoxious, but I try to use my powers for good occasionally . . .
Nov 06, 2006 @ 04:02:44
Ho, ho, ho, and which powers would those be?
Did you check out the link R Hudson III dropped? Very amusing.
Nov 06, 2006 @ 04:27:26
They’re powers beyond your comprehension, eldritch and indescribable . . . did I mention I hide my appendages under a stylish yet sensible Miskatonic U letter jacket? I’m still working on the scaly rash on my lower back, but what the hey?

Salt water. Try a dip in the ocean.

Thanks. I just checked in the mirror and . . . AYYYIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH . . . .

They all go that way in the end.

Now, tell me how many Americans YOU know who get the joke about the Lovecraft letter/diary narrative style and the exclamation at the end.
Nov 06, 2006 @ 19:13:27
Uh, maybe three, and they mostly read Lovecraft so they could figure out what the hell I was talking about.
Nov 06, 2006 @ 21:36:55
I haven’t had a good sit-down with a Lovecraft collection in ages, now that you mention it, but I read a fair bit in high school along with some Bobby Bloch. Guess I’ll go cruise Amazon this week . . . .

Second-hand stores are better. Some of the new editions are crap, I must say. There’s one house that does some very nice editions (Tor?) but there are others that will sell you August Derleth and tell you it’s Lovecraft: be sure to read the small print.
Mind you, some of those stories are real shockers. There’s one book put out under his name that’s really just amateurs’ stuff he edited, and it has the single most powerful literary expression of necrophilia you’ll ever see: it’s called The Loved Dead. It also has a typically baroque, overblown Lovecraft story set in Mississippi where the ultimate horror they discover is not that the woman who married into the family is illegitimate…nor that she’s part Deep-One, but rather that she’s … gasp! shock! horror!… black.
