Ye need na put yoursel into ony carfuffle about the matter.

I can totally hear myself saying this in an exaggerated Scottish accent, every time fandom_wank goes insane.

This is why it's a good thing my internet is not wired for sound.

What's 'ony'?

'Any'?

over at that con-dom-wank LJ.

I love that LJ SO MUCH.

Just finally finished watching The Inside. Liked it. Looking forward to tonight.

Sean, your tagline is from Robot Chicken, isn't it?

No, it's from the Inside. I don't have cable at the moment, so I'm sadly missing Robot Chicken.

Oh, that's funny -- the other night Robot Chicken (or was it Family Guy? shit, all those Adult Swim shows are running together) did this bit where a character was yelling "Bam!" and then they cut to Bam-Bam, and then to Emeril Legasse.
