So no one stopped me on my self-destructive hankering for Spike fanfic. :P

So, erm... what I'm thinking is a Christmas ghost story, perhaps a voodoo curse, and ending with parrots.

See! I said someone should've stopped me!


On other comments:

Scandal: Seriously, Olivia, you have one screwed up personal life. When your client's personal life looks uncomplicated when compared to yours (and your client is hiding that her sister is her daughter) you know that you have one hella screwed up personal life. (Looking forward to next week. I suspect there is a twist because while Fitz acts guilty, he also never admitted to anything so... we'll see.)

Big Bang Theory: Honestly, I preferred the B-plot of Howard and Raj making jewelry with the girls.

TVD: Recorded. Didn't have time to watch.

Football: Stanford Vs. Oregon See, that's the thing with Oregon. Yeah, you have an offense that rocks... but you rarely play teams with defenses. How can anyone judge you fairly until you play opposite a solid defense? So, yeah, this may well put paid their attempts for a national championship this year. (And maybe a less eye-hurt yellow uniform next week...?)

Football: Bama vs. LSU Biggest home game of the year, which means it will be the biggest HEADACHE of the year. With Stanford V. Oregon in the books, it also seems to be the biggest game for Saturday, so ESPN Gameday is going to be there. PLUS it was scheduled for prime time, so for TV purposes only, kick-off won't be until 7:00PM!

....Which means it won't end until after 11PM (possibly well after, and that's if we don't go into overtime).

...Which means we won't exit the parking deck until at earliest 12PM

...And then there's traffic from hell! (Stadium seats roughly 102,000 people. Add in the tailgaters w/o tickets and we're speaking more along the lines of 115,000. And with Tuscaloosa not being very large, the vast majority have to make their way home or to hotels in Birmingham. Last time we had LSU at home we didn't reach home until after 2AM. Win or lose, you end up feeling like you've been run-over by a dump truck because of trying to make it home at 2AM (and not being 20 any more).

Nephew sent out invitations that he and his girlfriend are having an all-day tailgate at the Quad. I don't think I can manage all day + coming home at 2AM, but I'll probably make the tailgate at about 4PM.

Hope we win this thing or it'll be a really, really long day. (Though it kinda will be anyway.) Oh well, Roll Tide.

Seriously?

From i09.com:

So I was all set to joke about how Subway would tie their crappy sandwiches into a movie where kids compete in a brutal contest for the amusement of the rich, and where a brutal revolution might be the only solution, and then I saw the above commercial where they actually fucking did it.

Madness. Pure madness. Here's the taglines I would have suggested:

"Subway's Fiery Footlongs — Sandwiches so good, you won't even want to send your kids to die horribly in a deadly battle that exists solely for the amusement of your oppressors..."


Seriously, did the marketing department put any real thought into this?

Although, I must say, some of the comments are amusing:


Hungry? Not quite enough food in your district tonight?

Well here in the Capital we're feasting down on these foot long subs! Each time one of your children die, we'll be eating a District themed footlong in their honor! Don't worry! The ones that don't ge eaten will be thrown away.



And it's made from emaciated squirrel and half-burnt, soggy, stale bread that the baker's boy threw to us instead of to his pigs!


To be fair, spectating child murder does make one hungry. Just the other day I witnessed a brutal slaying and wondered where I could get a reasonably priced sandwich


Oh, I can't wait for the ads for part3.

Devastation. War. Genocide. Sandwiches!


This still isn't as ironic as Covergirl's makeup lines for each of the 12 Districts. I still can't decide whether they're in on the joke, or just completely oblivious to it.



Holy shit! I saw it on tv when I was half paying attention and I had to rewind it, then I had my wife come in and watch it too. Way to completely destroy the message of the books. Suzanne Collins is probably rolling over in her metaphorical grave


It's hilarious. When I finally read the books after I heard they were making a movie, I laughed with delight in anticipation of this very thing. We ARE the Capitol. Suzanne Collins must be laughing her ass off.

Err... so that happened.

Holocaust Princess seems massively, MASSIVELY wrong. (I know it's intended to but still...  So wrong).

On the other hand, it's not that much of a stretch that Marie Curie might actually have glowed... [/death by radiation joke]  (So wrong.)
