"HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE?! TELL ME! TELL ME NOW!"

So, Jack Bauer, then?

Bwah!

That's a good point, Lilty. I probably don't need to go into too much detail, but I like to know the broad facts anyway.

(I think it was filmed in Wyoming or Wisconsin or some such)

I'm thinking it was filmed in NC. I have never seen it. which is very lax of me.

Spicy brains rental request.

I need a good idea quick. One that involves science and funny.

Where else would I ask?

Here's the setup. Best buddy's husband's birthday party in November. I printed out a parody of ROTK and took a bunch of props to the restaurant and got the unacquainted guests to read it aloud.

Huge success.

Today is best buddy's birthday and I have no clue what to do that could top the above.

She's a journalist turned science writer. Got an A in chemistry and an A in physics this year. Taught at Hopkins on Fellowship. Plays Ultimate. Etc.

I searched for chemistry and science jokes for attendees to recite but couldn't find any that anyone but the birthday girl would understand at all. (which could significantly decrease the fun for the readers)

I'm rarely at a loss for a silly idea but today? Bupkis!

Heeelp Meeee

Please!

I was just gonna pimp Burt's Bees Mulberry some, because it is awesome. It's a red. I find myself wearing it pretty much all the time.

It's a red that I can wear, which puts it in a special class.

Also, unlike those other reds I can wear, doesn't make my lips go dry.

So, Jack Bauer, then?

An excellent choice.

Plei, you and Jilli are responsible for me finally ordering samples from Aromaleigh. Am now tapping foot impatiently, waiting for UPS.

(Though I did get wine delivered here today, which is cool.)

I love Burt's Bees stuff. Luckily, I can find it in a lot of places around here. Thanks for the suggestion.

LotM contains one of my favorite movie sex scenes

As phrased by a reviewer at the time: "Michael Mann rewards them with sex." GAH. And it's totally non-graphic. Plus, the music. (Back to bunk.)

It was all location shooting, in North Carolina. And they lost half the crew when it ran long, and DDL did Madeleine Stowe's makeup.

Beej -

How about parodies of "The Day After Tomorrow" (wrong science-y goodness). Or "Independence Day". Or...any Devlin/Emmerich film, really.

I actually bought it because you recommended it, Plei. I thought it was orangey when I tested it on the back of my hand, but on my face, perfect.

The Eggplant I got to wear with all my purple clothes (of which I have a lot) looks weird. Might be just too different from my natural color, I'm not sure.
