I Need Those Like I Need a Hole In My Head!

Jul 05, 2009 23:51

Last Thursday was Paula's Birthday (yey!) so I got her something she'd been wanting - the complete series of "Moonlight" on DVD. (If you've never heard of it, it was yet another "Vampire Detective in LA Making Atonement" show that was being rerun on ScyFcy, but that's not important right now.) I had to special order it from FYE, and it got here ( Read more... )

Would you like those damn kids to get off your lawn now?

Durn whippersnappers! With their hula-hoops and their 23-Skidoos and their Eye Pods!

It's a sign of economic recovery. Four months ago that hoop was just the size of a dime. With any luck it'll be up to a half-dollar again, although that's rarely seen since anytime someone does run across a half-dollar coin they put in their sock drawer to be preserved as a rare coin so it isn't seen again before it gets lost or turned into an unmatched sock.

Or perhaps it's more accurate to say they were the size of one of those Presidential Memorial dollars, and his own personal economy has been stimulated. Yes He Can!

Perhaps they were receivers, for tracking the mother ship.

Well, he *did* keep muttering "Klaatu Barada Nikto", but I just assumed he was hopped up on the goofballs. Or Diet Mountain Dew, maybe.

Never seen it here in the South or anywhere in my travels. Maybe its a gang thing in that area or maybe he's a nut. Glad I didn't see it. I probably would have asked him about it. "That a new style, sugar. Who're you getting to do that for you?"

I *am* here in the South, and I've never seen it before either. I doubt ut was a gang thing bangers don't usually have jobs at FYE), but I have to wonder how he's going to explain it to his grandkids. "Y'see, Jimmy, PawPaw was once chillin' in the latest style, and..."

Latest style, I hope not. Have any of the latest Sci-Fi flicks had this? Maybe he was just setting his own style. Next..his tongue? Have seen fools have them split in half like a snake. ..maybe that'll be next.

I have seen it before, and while I try to be much more tolerant of body modification than I used to be, it does strike me as being out towards the edge of the chart on both strangeness and undoableness.
