This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

Natter 62: The 62nd Natter  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Santa totally needs a Zeppelin.

I think the Magic Reindeer Union local 1225 would disagree.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Oooh, remember the cracktastic fantasy-romance-80s-music video I linked to a few days ago?

::crickets chirp lazily::

Anyway, the Smart Bitches blog linked to it on Friday, and the reactions are too funny. (Including my favorite: "Wow, Lestat's band is way less hardcore than Anne Rice led me to believe.")

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

No, but see there'll be a retraining program. They could be Reindeer Zeppelin Operators.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah. Or the Reindeer Games could go professional.

Or perhaps they could be trained to be accountants.

I'm thinking the antlers could be an advantage on the ten-key pad.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

It sounds somewhat more disturbing than Avenue Q, somewhat less than Meet The Fimbles.

Does no one remember Farscape? Rygel in S&M leather? Why, god, why?

You know, I'd think that flying reindeer could hire themselves out for children's birthday parties, etc. What kid wouldn't want a ride on a flying reindeer.

OK, there would need to be new regulations, FAA approval, etc., but I think it'd be doable.

We'd have to watch out that no flying reindeer join inner-city gangs. We don't need to escalate gang violence with fly-by shootings....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Farscape was its own universe and as such did not ping the "OMGMUPPETSEX*WRONG*" part of my brain nearly as hard as the other 2.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I couldn't make it through one season of Farscape, much bugged, including the puppet, but thankfully I never got to that.
