"Hi. You're Ben Browder. Did you know that?"
You could have said, "Bees."
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
That should somehow be COMMed, but I wouldn't even know where to begin.

I know! Well, the story-teller wasn't a buffista. . . but I just have to think "bees" and I start laughing. . .still.

Heh. If I hadn't written that bit before the conversation here, I totally would have used, "...Bees."
Well, and then 6 months from now I'd have seen stuff about how I just steal jokes from people on LJ. So maybe I wouldn't have, actually.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hee. Just thinking about that story made me guffaw out loud. In the house by myself.
And Strega, that's a great report. Very funny.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
The next time I meet a famous person I love up at the bar, I'm totally going to go up to them and go, " So, uhm, bees..."

Life on Mars finale:
Oh my God! Sam has Stockholm Syndrome!
Actually, in the end it most reminded me of that classic TNG episode "The Inner Light", if Picard had chosen to go back in the end. It was Sam's "This is DI Tyler... This is DCI Tyler" which did it for me; it's when Picard tries to open the door by pushing a button. But Sam goes back even though he knows it's not real.
Funny, the Guardian review thinks Sam is dead at the end, which is fairly plausible, although it didn't occur to me while I was watching. He hears another medical progress report in the car, so he can't be dead, right? But it's also true I don't think he could have survived that leap. From the review I also like: "Every week Sam Tyler (John Simm) would asked himself: "Am I mad or in a coma or back in time?" The answer is probably a bit of all three...."
Does anybody not yet know about the spin-off starring Gene Hunt, "Ashes to Ashes"...? I'm intrigued as to how they'll pull that one off.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
And what will happen is that I'll say, "That'll give you, umm, bees." And they'll say, "I totally know! Wasn't that, like, the funniest thing ever? OMG, I read about that at the b.org and did I laff!"
And then, I'll try to say, "Wow, I am so impressed and charmed by your wit and knowledge of internet fandom. It's so engaging to find a person of your celebrity and stature who is aware of and involved in the fannish world. I can't believe you know that story about the bees!"
And what I'll actually say is, "Charm fans bees."
