RANDOM DISTURBING THOUGHT:
I realized that somewhere out there on the web, there is most likely Facts of Life femmeslash fic.
I could Google to see if I'm right, but not at the cost of my soul.
MY TWITLIST'S TOP MOST AMUSING TWEETS ABOUT THE ULTIMATELY TRAGIC SLOW-SPEED BENTLEY CHASE IN LA YESTERDAY
Until it wasn't funny anymore, it was funny. To wit:
Wil Wheaton: I watched the OJ Simpson slow speed chase live, and you, slow speed Bentley driving guy, are no OJ Simpson.
Kennedy: Slow-speed chase on TV right now. It's surprisingly soothing and making me sleepy.
Wil Wheaton: Fun fact: Anne was picking up our son at LAX about an hour ago, and the slow speed chase went right past them on the 405. True story.
Wil Wheaton: So, you know, I'm like totally one degree of slow speed chase, and have that going for me. Which is nice.
Wil Wheaton: Anne: Maybe it's Carol Channing driving the Bentley! Me: Oh my god please let it be Carol Channing. Anne: It's not Carol Channing. Me: :-(
Wil Wheaton: RT @absinthetics "If this doesn't turn out to be an elaborate ruse to distract the police while someone steals the Hope diamond..."
Robbie: @wilw alerted me to the slow speed chase, now a no speed chase. The news isn't saying "it could be Chris Brown!" but they want to SO badly.
Wil Wheaton: KCAL has interrupted George Lopez to stay with the no-speed chase. LIVE. There is no way they do this if it isn't Chris Brown. CHRIS BROWN.
Wil Wheaton: If someone doesn't show up at the no-speed chase with $SOMETHING.COM on a sheet for the choppers, I have lost all faith in attention whores.
Deborah: Attention EVERY TV Station in LA: I don't care about a 30mph car chase - even if you think it's a celeb. Cut the crap.
Wil Wheaton: Goddammit, it's just some stupid random guy in the Bentley, and it's not even Andy Dick. Whatever, dude. What-fucking-ever.
Deborah: Heard on whatever station: "Speculation is dangerous" followed by 10 minutes of speculation.
Wil Wheaton: If this guy had ANY media savvy at ALL, he would have ended the thing at 11:26 for maximum exposure. EPIC CAR CHASE FAIL, DUDE.
Wil Wheaton: Okay, White Bentley Guy, if you start driving again and flip your car as many times as 70s television says you should, all is forgiven.
Robbie: KTLA gave up on the no-speed chase & said they'd tell you what happened at 5am. KCAL is doing the same. Pussies.
Wil Wheaton: BREAKING NEWS: It's a hip hop DJ from Miami in a Bentley, who claims to have a gun. No, not that one, the other one. Right. That one. Him.
Wil Wheaton: In my dreamworld, it was Andy Dick, he jumped the Bentley over a shark, and parachuted out while singing a Carol Channing tune.
Wil Wheaton: All cynical snarking aside, I hope this ends peacefully. Turning snark back on: What kind of car is it, and how much does it cost? I forget.
Robbie: Whoa, 3 giant SWAT vehicles just surrounded the car right up in the guy's face.
Wil Wheaton: HOLY SHIT they surrounded the Bentley with vehicles from the old GI Joe cartoon!
Wil Wheaton: Anchors on ABC7.com are speculating that the driver may have killed himself. I like my Andy Dick + parachute ending a lot more.
Robbie: Doesn't look like a good ending for the driver of that Bentley.
Wil Wheaton: Man, nothing ruins a good car chase like actual tragedy.
