Damn! I didn't pay attention to the clock! Happy late birthday, kaitou1412! I hope you know that you are seriously cool beans. I mean, you are even cooler than the Walrus and Bucket Saga, and that's pretty cool. And you're classy to boot, considering all the awesome Regency things you write. And you recap neat things on the History Channel, which I totally ( Read more... )

It's a could mash-up! And I don't mind Oasis' music too much, although I think their front man is extremely whiny and too fond of trying to call other bands out.

They were pretty popular when I was just going into high school. Cool. Good memories.

Yeah. Silly band guys. Stick to what you do best!

I sucked at knowing what popular music was. The first CD I ever bought was Foo Fighters "The Color and the Shape" when I was fourteen or so. I'm pretty sure the second CD I bought was a Metallica one. My electic taste had not yet flowered into full being yet.

I have to say, not being Catholic, and not residing in an area where there are, you know, actual Catholics, the Pope's boyfriend's neon pink attire baffles me.

I'm fairly certain Ann Coulter is the #1 most unattractive man in this country, at least, but imagine the PC flareup there would have been to name a woman as the most unattractive man of 2007. Whoosh.

...I suspect that's actually the color saturation on the photo, and it should be less neon in person. But yeah, we totally color-code our ecclesiastical seasons. Back in December, the third week of Advent means the priests always have to wear pink.

Oh, I don't know, didn't GQ actually name Jennifer Aniston Man of the Year or something a year or so ago? Of course, that was meant to be a compliment, but yeah. Ann should have been in the top ten, easy.

Hee, thanks for the birthday wishes.

You're welcome! I kept thinking, "It's not midnight yet, I still have time..." Shows me.

I am so glad someone other than me recognises the epicness of the Lolrus Saga.

thorne_scratch April 13 2007, 17:32:39 UTC

Lolrus. See, that didn't even occur to me at first, but yes, awesome.

I saw a polar bear fighting a walrus the other day! The walrus won, even without a bucket. It was great.

"The Dead" is so, so awesome. Thanks for introducing me to his poetry.

thorne_scratch April 13 2007, 17:33:21 UTC

Hey, you found the Dead and that other one on youtube. I should totally be thanking you!

twigcollins April 13 2007, 18:03:29 UTC

Yeah but you told me about him so I knew to go look on YouTube.

It's all a beautiful symbiosis until I eat your tasty brains.

thorne_scratch April 13 2007, 22:14:42 UTC

He's just so mellow. I totally want to take him out for a beer, or a glass of wine, and see if he'll scribble brilliance on a napkin.

Not if I get there first! Or Flidget. Flidget would eat your brains like billy-o.
