pulls out Embarrassed from Crayola box

scribbles all over Teppy

FWIW, there were a lot of references this weekend to scenes that were cut out of the mini. Nobody, however, had the presence of mind to ask Brian whether they'd be included in the dvd of the mini, or how many there would be.

Damnit.

Also? Henson's pushing for a movie. We'll see what happens.

Ben funny. OMG, so funny. Claudia too. Gigi hypercute. Anth insane. Brian and Rock both engaging and amiable. Froon his usual snarky self.

There was a talent show. Ben, Fran, and Froon managed not to laugh at the crazy Irish girl singing a song about a dead cat.

Ironically, right? There was... irony...

...I'm being optimistic again, aren't I?

I'm being optimistic again, aren't I?

you are.

This was CIG from years past, aka Iguana Girl, for ... the iguana she carried around all through the con.

I admit I left during the talent show, couldn't bring myself to stick around. Humiliation comedy is not my thing. But there was a very creative filk of American Pie, and the winning entry was said to be great, although I missed it. Maybe someone has a video of it...

Who's Froon?

Froon is Executive Producer Richard Manning. He invented the element froonium, which you'll find referenced all over in Farscape, and it also shows up in a few places in ST:TNG, for which he wrote as well.

He's known as "Froonium Ricky", and for many fans he's the face of the production team, since he goes to more of the cons than any of the others, he's terribly approachable, and loves hanging with fans. And his wife rocks. She's an international bonsai master, and one of the nicest people on the planet.

I'm speechless.

That's the most hysterically wrong thing ever.

Ricky's wife is teh awesome. I'm bummed that I didn't get to hang with them this year.

That's the most hysterically wrong thing ever.

Ricky wished out loud (later, because he is a nice person, mostly) for a gong. There was great willpower exerted during the talent show, and I sorta wish I'd stayed but see above re: humiliation comedy. I simply couldn't.

We did not, sadly, get Dani to strip on top of the pool table. And nobody gave Froon a blow job this year, but there was free champagne at one point (which he generously shared). And The M and SL told stories about the tinhats.

And oh, Ben and Claudia and the never-ending Michael Shanks jokes! t giggles helplessly They're so great.

I've had a thought before about the episode of Stargate where Jack was stuck on the planet when the Stargate gets buried by a meteor.

Teal'c takes a chance he can reach the surface after the gate closes.

My thought was why not fire a few blasts from Teal'c's staff weapon or fire off a couple mortars to clear the way, first? Then Teal'c would have even less to work through. Or even better, get some cheaper or retired telemetry cameras and check after a few blasts without wasting a MALP...

And oh, Ben and Claudia and the never-ending Michael Shanks jokes!

Aw, man. I wanna hear. Were those terribly spoiler-y for the upcoming SG episodes in which CB is supposed to guest star? If not, share!
