Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are going camping. They pitch their tent under the stars and go to sleep. Sometime in the middle of the night, Holmes wakes Watson up and says: “Watson, look up and tell me what you see.”
Watson replies, “I see millions and millions of stars.”
“And what do you deduce from that?” Holmes asks.
Watson replies: “Well, if there are millions of stars, and if even a few of those have planets, it’s quite likely there are some planets like earth out there. And if there are a few planets like earth out there, there might also be life.”
To which Holmes responds: “Watson, you idiot, someone has stolen our tent!”

Just popped in over at TORn, and I see all the same dim-witted arguments about what PJ is doing "wrong" are being dredged up again. Kili is too cute! Nori's hair is too weird! THORIN'S BEARD ISN'T LONG ENOUGH!!! (I shit you not, the ninnies over there really are arguing about that.) Like all of this hadn't been hashed over ad nauseam the last time.
It's just too fucking FUN.

Good morning! On this, the last day of existence, I hope you're all having a nice day. As we wait for the Rapture - got your popcorn handy? - here's a little video exploring the ramifications of this greatly awaited Event:
The End of the World - from The Secret Policeman's Ball
"Will this wind be so mighty as to lay low the mountains of the earth?"
Peter Cook and Rowan Atkinson discuss the coming of the Apocalypse.
Please remember to wear your galoshes and keep an umbrella handy to protect yourself from the torrents of Joyful Tears raining down from the flying faithful!

Comment over at Crooks & Liars:
"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves Orcs."
-- John Rogers

Here's something interesting

Q: Why don’t you approve of the Libertarians, thousands of whom are loyal readers of your works? [FHF: “The Age of Mediocrity,” 1981]
Ayn Rand: Because Libertarians are a monstrous, disgusting bunch of people: they plagiarize my ideas when that fits their purpose, and they denounce me in a more vicious manner than any communist publication, when that fits their purpose. They are lower than any pragmatists, and what they hold against Objectivism is morality. They’d like to have an amoral political program.
So the next time some libertarian asshole tries to claim Rand as an "inspiring influence" or espouses the idea of "going all Galt" on someone, you'll know exactly how full of shit they really are.

So...did any of you have any idea that Anne McCaffrey is a fucking loon?
It’s a proven fact that a single anal sex experience causes one to be homosexual. The hormones released by a sexual situation involving the anus being broached, are the same hormones found in large quantities in effeminate homosexual males. For example, when I was much younger I knew a young man who was for all intents and purposes, heterosexual. He was mugged, and involved in a rape situation involving a tent peg. This one event was enough to have him start on a road that eventually led to him becoming effeminate and gay.
-- From a transcript of a Q&A with Anne McCaffrey, at the Weyr Horror Stories message board thread, message dated Thursday Jan 22, 2004.
I've never read any of her books, because frankly I've got better things to do with my brain than stuff it with silly-ass dragon fantasies, and now I'm thinking I'm VERY VERY GLAD that none of my money ever went to supporting this batshit moron.

Midnight Media Cafe - Five Guys in a Limo

Close your eyes when they speak...
Five Guys in a Limo
The most recognizable voices in the film industry
get together for an awards show.
Okay, you KNOW these voices. There isn't a single person who's gone to a movie in the U.S. who doesn't know them. Don LaFontaine, John Leader, Al Chalk, Mark Elliot, and Nick Tate - they are The Trailer Voiceover Guys.
Really, I'm not kidding here. As you play this video, close your eyes. When you're done, tell me you don't recognize each one of them. I dare you.
And yo, is it weird to finally see what they look like? I keep thinking the voices have been dubbed in, because they no longer sound like actual people. They're soundtracks. It's really strange...

"The characters in this movie should be arrested for loitering with intent to moan."
