Hey, was this pic: [link] determined to have been a shop, or something?

Also, I love how unremitting huge Jared looks in this: [link]

I know the guys are aware of fanfic, and Wincest, and they seem genuinely appreciative of the fans, but if I were them, and knew some of the crazier rumors and obsessions, I can't imagine how I would attend those cons without being completely uncomfortable.

I think, seriously, that most of us are either okay, or can hide the crazy, and I'm sure the reward of looking people in the eye that like what you do so much must be amazing.

Nobody's perfect, but they must be pretty good at pretending and hiding their soft parts by now. Still, that's no excuse to act like asses, so I am still judgy about the fans in question.

Someone's trying to illuminate me by telling me that Jared and Jensen act lovey dovey now to play with the fans, and...I have to disagree. Misha hams it up with whoever, and Jared in particular responds in kind, but there is markedly less J2 fodder than there used to be.

I AM THE EXPERT. KOO KOO KACHOO.

Not everyone on the internet out there is pissing me off--I posted an animated GIF of the unicorn, and a non-viewer was moved to say:

If I ran TV, Every drama commission I'd make would have a contract guaranteeing at least 1 unicorn farting rainbows per season, no matter the genre. Cop show? Rainbow farts. Historical? Rainbow farts. Sci-fi/fantasy? Rainbow faaaaaaaaarts.

Touching.

One of the LA IO9ers was waiting for Netflix to stream SPN to watch it, and now that he's plowed through a season and a half he's kicking himself for not going ahead and renting the discs. I love to see that. And he's not the only one sucked in by the streaming either.

The rainbow farting was pretty funny, but my favorite thing was "RIGHT FRIGGING NOW" and the evil eye Dean gave the guy when he was told he had to earn tickets for the rainbow slinky.

Where is Annalee's recap of last night? She's getting later and later with them.

Dan is sucked in by the streaming. He snarfed down 9 eps of season 1 yesterday.

I was working, but I caught one while we were waiting for the Walking Dead. SO YOUNG!!! OMG!

Kristin yanked the poll? There were shenanigans? Is this why we can't have nice things?

I've been waiting for the other shoe to drop for a couple of rounds now.

I love thinking about the guys' brilliance. I mean, it's definitely *way* okay that they're major ass-kickers, but I also love the problem-solving and the Shark Week details Dean has lodged in his brain (Whole week of shark...) and the fact that they break a case just like the Criminal Minds guys, or any other brainboxes on TV.

I love seeing the two of them discuss what to do like equals and partners.

I'd also love to see them in a trivia/info-off. Dean would lob off stuff about sharks and obscure B-movie stars and combustion engines and Sam would counter with early modernist painters and fairy tales and Sumerian wedding rituals.
