DPP: Not Necessarily the News

Jul 03, 2012 08:13

Good job guessing yesterday y'all! Today, I thought it might be fun if we took a look at some recent headlines that included the words "Starbuck(s)", "Apollo" and "fra(c)king" and repurposed them as pertaining to our pilots. :D ( Read more... )

Ok seriously who's going to write the crackfic where Lee is a (secret?) Justin Beiber fan? :D :D :D :D

I think I did something with that, but it got marked as spam.

"Increased Frakking, Drilling Leads to Growth"

That is amazing! :D

Also: Did anyone read the Starbuck Probation article? There's totally a Pilots AU in there somewhere...

Hehe, picturing Kara with millions of dollars stuffed in her clothes.

Ha!! Kind of poor reporting though since they *obviously* got the name of Starbuck's lawyer wrong. ;-) I think my favorite part of that article was the mental picture of Kara with cash stuffed into her sweater vest, jacket, pocketbook and tote bag

Apollo, Chief remain in limbo -- that has to be a story about their little discussion in Taking a Break from All Your Worries, right?

Also, Buddies rally falls short against St. Cloud Apollo--just makes me think of that crossover or picspam of that Zak Efron St. Cloud movie that I totally thought was about Lee's life story! Hee. (His dead little brother haunts him despite the fetching blonde artist who wants him to move on! ;)

And the idea of Starbuck settling down to open a tea shop is also pretty hilarious.

WHOA, now I have to make sure I never see this so I don't end up picturing Zak Efron in place of Lee.

And the idea of Starbuck settling down to open a tea shop is also pretty hilarious.

I can't see her as a tea drinker, myself. Unless it was the really strong builder's tea that comes in mugs - the idea of Kara handling a china teacup or setting out scones is....let's just say I spat out some of my own tea at the idea.

There were several scenes that were reminiscent of canon oddly! We were having fun writing our own fic in our heads (I saw with eugie and aurora_O811)

But that's what makes it genius crack! Why would she open a tea shop? Has to be cover for something, right? ;)

shit I even spelled Zefron's name wrong, canon really did eat my brain lol.

I think it can be so much fun to talk about crossover crack, I'd love to know how you guys spun it out even if you were talking about it in a comment thread and not in a fic proper.

But yes, I can see Kara opening a tea shop with hidden mics planted on the underside of every table, and secret rooms in the back for the Top-Secret Special Spy Stuff.

Bieber’s Hot Show Melts Down Apollo’s Power

Oh lord, that sounds like an invitation to write slashfic (which is gross, that kid is not even legal)

I live in a community that has been taking part in the hydro fracking debate so there are "Frack? NO!" signs EVERYWHERE!

lol I wonder if there are other BSG fans among them...though I'm very particular about spelling it f-r-a-k, hee!
