It's a bit late, because the horse-fuck wank has entertained the whole of LJ land for days and is dying down now, but I have only just come across the perfect comment on it. And it's never too late to throw in a bit of Pratchett ( Read more... )

Anyone listened to the "Tooth and Claw" commentary? David Tennant cracked me up ( Read more... )

I've been having a Horrible Time* lately and could do with some entertainment. And because you** brim over with creativity and humour, I've got a request to make: Write me something funny. I could do with a good laugh. Write me a crack!drabble (Shrek x-over: Animagus!Minerva/Puss-in-Boots!), in defence of a crack pairing (Bill/Dudley!), share some ( Read more... )
