Wasting Everybody's Time in an Amusing Fasion
Some TV-and-movie-related memes have been going around - I thought what the heck, I've got some time to kill before bed and this fic's going nowhere in a handbasket. And while I'm at it, I'll throw up that f'list dump that's been accumulating for months - so, prepare to be spammed with loads of junk, neatly arranged into categories.
Cool links:
Neil before Zod! - scroll through the rest of the "Laugh Out Loud Cats" - it's hilarious stuff.
dangermousie found a Stark/Zhaan vid I've never seen. Go. It will make you cry - like all good S/Z vids.
AHAHAHHAHAAAH! I love those Star Wars Transformers. And Shortpacked.
Thanks to hezmanagirl and others, I have become hopelessly addicted to Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre - a UK comedy troupe that does exactly what it says on the tin. My favourites: TV Station Difficulties, Torchwool (guess what that's a parody of - watch even if you've seen one episode, or none - it's hysterical), and SFSPT Vs the Darleks (spelling deliberate). DO NOT EAT OR DRINK ANYTHING WHILE WATCHING! These are some of the most painfully funny things you've ever seen.
From RatherGood.com we have: OBEY THE KITTEN!! - best do what he says, he's a mean-looking customer. The Kitten can also help you with important life decisions, like whether or not you should: Have a beer? Wank? Shit? Piss? Breathe? God bless the internet for taking all guesswork out of life!
For calliopes_pen, we have Ghostbusters Motivational Posters And for urrah, hobsonphile, and selenak we have Babylon Five ones.
Rules of Thumb for when it's safe to talk about Movie Spoilers - I hope the guy who wrote this gets a Nobel prize. Or at least wins the internet.
For every person who like me who has screamed and/or thrown things at the screen during those horrible, NON-SKIPPABLE "you wouldn't steal a CAR" piracy-prevention ads: this one's for you.
The greatest SinFest strip ever written. But I may be biased. Concordantly, vis-a-vis, ahem.
And in the category of "things I would so totally do if put in that position": Spanish for Your Nanny (Worksafe, as long as nobody at your work speaks Spanish)

Stupid Internet Quizzes:
Your Score: Jo Grant
You scored 30% strength, 48% intelligence, 76% friendliness, and 63% escapology!
You are Jo Grant. You're not the brightest or strongest of the bunch, but your special studies in escapology sure make you useful! Initially, the Doctor may have been annoyed by your lack of skills (especially those involving science), but your warm presence and constant reliability have made him warm up to you.
Be careful, though. The Doctor has grown to truly appreciate you as a pupil. When you start using those escapology skills on *him*, he might not take it so well. (Try to at least visit Metabilis III before you do.)

Who is Your Stargate Atlantis Counterpart?
created with QuizFarm.com
You scored as Rodney McKay
Your conterpart is the brilliant but caustic Canadian astrophysicist, Rodney McKay.
You may be egotistical or as Samantha Carter puts it: "arrogant, petty and bad with people" but deep down you really do care about others a great deal. You're a little bit solitary, but only because certain people just annoy you and you can't stand being around them (and I mean, who can blame you).
In the end, even though you can be a pain in the ass you're a good friend.

And now the memes:
From selenak: I went to imdb.com, and looked up the keywords for ten of my favourite films. Now you guess which ones they are. I tried to avoid the keywords that would have made it too obvious, and some I included because they, while accurate, completely cracked me up when I found them used for these particular movies.
I have a lot of favourite movies. Some of those here are obvious; some are not. Movies from series are listed separately - I do not promise all movies from a series made it on here.
