Well, I suppose I could put together some sort of bio/resume ("Qualifications: Smartass Dork") and get someone to take a picture of me and try.

You would SO rock reality tv...like unto rocking actual reality.

It would be the final declaration of the geeks shall inherit the earth.

Shall? Dude. Miracleman is on your teevee. Check it. The wait is over. The geeks HAVE inherited the earth, with a Bwah and a Bwahaha.

Go for it!

Mm, nope. I seem to keep forgetting the half hour comedy format exists. It is a sitcom, isn't it?

I was asking because Tiny Fey's writing is nothing like the Farrelly Brothers-- she doesn't do gross-out stuff, though she does do sight gags. I would recommend catching up on the show, since it's the funniest one on TV. It's on Hulu.

Actually, the final straw was the car pacing me to make sure I couldn't make my lane change and turn as signalled, on an empty street, even when I stayed put through a green light.

See, that's way more actively hostile than Bostonians usually have the patience for. Most of the infractions I see/experience are of the "Mine! Mine! Get the fuck outta the way!" variety. Sorry you had to be the recipient of the Boston driving gift-with-purchase.

As for the street layout, maybe 16th century cows have it in for you.

ION, I just used the phrase "we were so open-minded our brains fell out" in a team building exercise at work today.

Ms. Fey might be a marvellous writer writing a character that gives me hives. My takeaway from the first trailer I saw was a vehement wish that the surrogate's jaw be dislocated by a bitchslap. Even if I'm not supposed to like her, that's too much reaction on my part.

I have meant to have a look--just keep getting distracted.

Man, I'd have to dig up my (very old) performance resume. Haven't done anything for a couple years.

I could mention my four minutes or so on that one G4 show.

"Science Qualifications: I know that most of Star Trek is horseshit. I've read Cryptonomicon seven gajillion times and it keeps getting funnier every. Single. Time. I read it. I go to SF cons and have even attended a panel. Once or twice. I once taught myself the very basics of fusion while bored at work. I designed a spaceship for a game. It uses steam and some very hand-wave-y application of the not-taken-seriously-at-all-by-any-scientists-that-I-am-aware-of 'electro-gravitic' drive as first theorized by P. Townsend Brown, who may have been a wack-job. Someone gave me a book called 'Electronic Gadgets for the Evil Genius', and I want to build a death-ray, but I haven't had the time. I can fix my lawnmower and install a garbage disposal and a light switch.

Danger Qualifications: Get me drunk and dare me, I'll probably do it."

shooooiee! All caught up now, sorta. Natter took off yesterday afternoon. Didn't get the memo!

Hilton Ave.

aha - so how many Tribune Sun reporters even know where that is? I'd like to see Sally Th. from channel 13 try a live shot from there. I can't believe no one is reporting on it.

peeing in the sink

cracked me up too - from the perspective of OMGmustpeepregnantWTFit'sLOCKED? more than dumb&dumber.

oh this day.

Danger Qualifications: Get me drunk and dare me, I'll probably do it."

Please refer to the enclosed photo of myself in stripey tights and a candy bra.

This is the snark I want to see in a tv host.

All they need is to give you a consultant with the basic facts and a microphone.

I might actually have to obtain my first tv in 15 years for this one!

I want to build a death-ray

HEY - transporter was supposed to come first. Then we use the death-ray for instant smiting.

Okay, but they didn't have a transporter in the Electronic Gadgets for the Evil Genius book.

What I was thinking is that I build the death ray and then incorporate parts of it into the transporter...I mean we gotta break the victim "object to be transported" down to its component sub-atomic particles anyway...

It's not just science, it's efficient science!!
