Recs, Part 3: Miscellaneous
I've crossed into November with these recs, and I apologize for stepping on any toes, but it took me this long to find and gather up all the things I wanted to rec.
WEBSITES
faerie_dance has a few captioned pictures worth examining: http://faerie-dance.livejournal.com/52272.html
daughtermestizo's whole journal is worth a look (there are no tags, but check around the 2005 archives; there's gold there), but here's a sample: http://hhboys-daily.livejournal.com/15912.html#cutid1
And for all your ridiculous Icon needs, there's always patchmyjeans: http://patchmyjeans.livejournal.com/4118.html#cutid1
VIDEOS
I found this video when I was first getting accustomed to Youtube, and I've been fond of it ever since. It is also, as the original poster said, a natural combination: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uE5zvhYxAZI
(I'd have embedded, but the video started giving me problems)
And I don't think I ever saw this video linked here before, but I've been mistaken in the past. I'm providing a link instead of embedding, because this is VERY NSFW: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CvBCKKAnwU
GAMES
I stumbled across this one by accident, but it absolutely needs to be linked to here: The Hornblower Romantic Encounter Generator (not entirely safe for work): http://quizzes.blogquiz.net/fun-quizzes/Blog-Memes/Your-Hornblower-Romantic-Encounter-blog-quiz_aWQ9NDQ2NQ.html
I'm getting something different now, but the first time I tried this I wound up with THIS:
...so yeah, I kinda approve.
(Feel free to post your results in the comments.)
And before the advent of Cleverbot, there was Hornblower Bot: http://www.pandorabots.com/pandora/talk?botid=8e0636696e3594a3
A word of warning: You don't start up a conversation with this guy looking for accuracy. Here are some actual snippets of conversation I had with him...
Human: Could I kiss you?
Horatio Hornblower: I think you could, if you put your mind to it.
Human: *kiss*
Horatio Hornblower: Never on a first date ; -).
Human: *laughs* Oh, god, that's priceless.
Horatio Hornblower: I think laughs Oh god that is a lot of things.
Human: *laughs even harder* I think I love you.
Horatio Hornblower: Enough about me, let's talk about my dress.
***
Human: *wink*
Horatio Hornblower: My favorite movie is Pirates of the Carribbean. Have you seen it?
Human: Really?
Horatio Hornblower: For real.
Human: Yes.
Horatio Hornblower: Yippee!
And that wraps up my month of recs. Good luck to esmerelda_t for this month!
(and mods, forgive the rushed nature of this post: I just really wanted to get it all out before we were too deep into November).
