My LJ: Better Than MySpace!

So, as usually happens on my journal, a post explodes on a certain topic, and then suddenly five people that didn't know each other before on my flist are friending each other in an orgy of proactive internet social interactions, and this is what we wind up with:

Due to cats_n_crying ordering me around, we now have FOUR people that want to

NEVER GIVE A THUMBS UP AGAIN.

Srsly.

[kali921]

I NEVER WILL, I PROMISE. I MIGHT TAKE OUT MEXICO CITY, AND THEN MY INSURANCE PREMIUMS WOULD SKYROCKET, NOT TO MENTION THE LAWSUITS.

Also, hug!!

[shadowlongknife]

ALAS, POOR MEXICO CITY. I KNEW IT, HORATIO (CAINE?).

Oh, the hugs are pretty much candy to me right now. More, plz.

[kali921]

AHAHAHAHAHA.

JUST THINK, WHEN I GET MAD AT MILAN FOR NOT LETTING GIANFRANCO FERRE SHOW HIS SPRING '08 LINE ON THE RUNWAY, I CAN PERMANENTLY SOLVE THE PROBLEM BY OBLITERATING ALL OF NORTHERN ITALY!

What's going on at work, hunny? What'd I miss? I'm woefully behind on LJ.

*BEAR HUG BUT WITHOUT THUMBS*

Ah, but the Anti-Life Equation and the Celestial's NegaThumb of Doom(TM) are two seperate things. The ALE(Darkseid forever seeks ALE! It all makes sense now) doesn't destroy all life. It erases free will on a universal scale. I believe the last time someone accidentally used it, he yelled at a rioting mob to "stop" and they did. Stopped moving. Thinking. Breathing. So...yeah. Different things, milady.

Also, you're only an hour ahead of me, so totally count me in. And actually, the entirety of JLU is on YouTube. So to is Justice League, of which JLU is essentially the second half of one big UberShow. If you can deal with the lower image quality, it's an easy, free alternative(I can even put together a link-to-episode/viewing order list if necessary. I've got the free time what with classes being out).

[kali921]

Why, do please put together a list, however, I've somewhat committed to watching the thing at decent resolution, which means renting the DVDs at some point to fully see what's going on. But I'd love to see your list, so I can at least get some good clips together for previewing.

Sorry! Celestials still pwn Darkseid, and always will! And Jesus H., a talented telepath can turn a ravening mob into a placid group of blissed out, narcoleptic idiots. Jean Grey could do that easily.

[opmegs]

Well, yeah. But as I said, that was an accidental invocation. The big D is looking to, y'know, go with the full scale "willess shells" in one blow. Of course, the Celestials are fellow Kirby creations, so if they encountered one another, that could be either very good, or very bad. Regardless, it would likely be AWESOME(in the way getting sucked into the event horizon of a black hole would be an awesome(in terms of causing awe) experience, if not exactly a PLEASANT one.)

And I will do so. Might I ask if you've seen Justice League already? Because if not, there's a few episodes you MUST SEE to get the most out of JLU. Particularly "The Terror Beyond" which damn well made me tear up at the ending.

-OM

[kali921]

I've seen nothing of the Justice League or JLU at all (see previous post today), except what has been carefully selected by cats_n_crying. I don't go for that style of animation, which is why I never watched it; I grew up watching good Warner Brothers animation, so the whole craptastic overly simplified animation that is prevalent today makes me ill.

HOWEVER, I HAVE CAVED, AND WILL SUCCUMB.

You may have just convinced me to love Darkseid. No, srsly.

[skepticultist]

I will have that tattooed on my hand.

I am so going to get that tattooed on my hand myself.

Oh wait, can't. No career in law enforcement if I get tats on my hands.

DAMN YOU conservative dress requirements!

[kali921]

It depends on the city you're in; I know quite a few law enforcement types with tons of tattoos, but they tend to work in larger, more politically progressive and tolerant cities, where the standards for what you can and cannot wear/sport in uniform get a little less rigid. Like San Francisco! I know (and see) plenty of cops in SF with tattoos. LOTS of tattoos. There's a guy that used to be a beat cop in the Mission that was sleeved on both arms, and his work was GORGEOUS.

[skepticultist]

It's the on the hands that's the issue. Plenty of cops in Seattle have sleeves, but nothing on the hands, neck or face is allowed.

[kali921]

Freakin' Seattle, man! Ruining our plans to exact justice in the universe via HARDCORE MATH!

Come to SF, where the municipa law enforcement agencies will not interfere with our campaign of Darwinian vengeance!

[insanitykun]

Palm tattoos are pretty much useless though, so thumbs ups will probably be okay. But palm tattoos are needlessly painful and incredibly impermenant.

[kali921]

As a collector of tattoos, I know how shitty hand tattoos can be, and how impossible palm tattoos are. If I ever commit to a hand tattoo, it'll mean a significant increase in my sunscreen budget until the end of time. I'll be going through a pint of sunscreen a week just for my left hand!

[imathers]

My friend Orbax the sideshow freak has a pentagram tattooed on one palm, and he actually really likes how it's weathering (he's had it for... a year?); it's mostly still there, but a bit has worn off, it looks kind of cool that way.

[thezerosumgame]

7. Anyone else want in?

*raises hand*

Sounds like fun, if a clueless newbie is welcome.

On another newbie note, very excited about "Cosmic Marvel on Five Dollars a Day", or whatever the title turns out to be.

[kali921]

Yay! What timezone are you in, hon?

And I SO need to write this book now.

[thezerosumgame]

Pacific...Daylight? Standard? Other? *shrug* West Coast. I'm in Oregon.

[kali921]

I'm ALSO a clueless JLU newbie, just so you know, hon. We can NEWB together and flaunt our n00bienessesess with impunity.

I'm in SF. I didn't know we were in the same timezone. *collects this data for sinister purposes*
