Oops. I actually copied that without reading it, really - I think that's applying to rollercoasters.
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I've just discovered that FAQ Girl has become a total Adam Baldwin Fangirl. She's taken to Netflixing films she knows will be horrible simply because AB is in them. She's watching Evil Eyes RIGHT NOW! (AInotFG).

Jon, don't you mean FAQ Wife?

Well, that too. But she's still a girl (last time I checked).

Oh, I understand. I watched a horrible one on Sci-Fi months ago just for AB. I have no recollection what it was about. Small beach town, big monster, I think.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
And what was the thing they did in Top Gun?
Do you mean the "hit the brakes and he'll fly right by" maneuver? It's called "fatal error." It was just as dumb and wrong in Top Gun as it was in Space Cowboys, but handwave it away and blame it on Hollywood.
A few years after Top Gun Victor Pugachev demonstrated an extreme version of the maneuver in an SU-27 at the Paris airshow. It made such an impression that it's usually called "Pugachev's Cobra," but now and then you'll see it referred to as "dynamic deceleration." It's a great airshow maneuver, but a bad way to manage energy and position in combat, and a bad way to modify a landing approach in a glider.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Well, you know, just in case one or two folks haven't seen it....
Yo.
(It is apparently now my duty to announce in each show thread that I'm the lone heathen that hasn't seen/heard the movie/musician being discussed.)

I remember flipping channels a few months back and stopping because I saw Adam Baldwin in a movie. I have no idea what the name of the movie was, all I know is he was apparently a goateed, pony-tailed doctor being forced by Chinese gangsters to work on a wounded comrade. As much as I may like the guy, I couldn't watch more than a handful of minutes before I had to change the channel.

Slap Shot II, Callum Keith Rennie. I've been scarred too badly to blindly follow actors anymore.

Dude, that would have been so much better. Now I feel all cheated.

It is a risky gambit, I admit. So far I've emerged unscathed. Apparently, I have a high tolerance for painful movies.
