p.s. Lin...BUTTONS!

Nov 22, 2006 11:10

So, I turned on my G-mail this morning and started perusing the headlines that crop up at the top of the page…because that’s sometimes a nice shortcut to find some articles you might not otherwise find from some news sources you might not otherwise look into. And every now and again, a news headline jumps at you and says something really ( Read more... )

I need more content. Yes, I would subscribe to your newsletter. You have interesting theories which I would like to learn more about.

mr_jaeger November 22 2006, 17:16:01 UTC

Not a rantcast. Though i'm also tempted to do a rantcast, if only so that things can be heard in my own voice, and if i get really into this shit, I might re-record some of my old rants in just such a way...but short stories. Especially tailored for Richmond ex-patriates. Think less Electric Bastard and more Garrison Keillor.

daq42 November 22 2006, 17:26:10 UTC

I wasn't thinking rants so much either. I would just love to hear you reading your work, in the authors voice.

And I just saw A Prairie Home Companion (The Movie) last night. I love me some Garrison Keillor. Of course, I'm biased, because I listened to him from the time I could understand speach (it was a tradition with my grandparents and parents to listen to it every Sunday afternoon while driving).

Anyway.
But I could deal with rants as well. Just as long as you include sound effects (your "GAH!" noise is one of the best out there).

Excellent! You're going to love this, then.

And a brief moment of silence for Robert Altman, director not only of the Prairie Home Companion motion picture, but the M*A*S*H motion picture. Who died the night before last.

I would :) ... and I actually pictured an entire nation of people whose hands had fallen off

mr_jaeger November 22 2006, 17:13:55 UTC

Not fallen off...CRAWLED OFF! I admit, in addition to thinking, "it's okay, sister. you don't need a guy like that. they only want one thing. Just...let's go dance it off. let's get some drinks and...like fuck guys, we don't need 'em...just go dance." This is not because i'm gay, but lifted from a comedy routine about dancing girls. I don't dance.

BUT! After that, I got this total horror movie image of a crawling horde of disembodied, zombified crawling Syrian hands. Like you open a cupboard and this evil hand MIGHT jump out at you. and you will wrestle with it. because life is more like Evil Dead 2 than we're willing to admit.

pacmansean November 22 2006, 17:34:01 UTC

yes... and unfortunately many of the Syrians would fall to their deaths from attacking hands... as it's got to be a bitch to try to fend off your own hand attacking you when you don't have a hand to counter it with

mr_jaeger November 22 2006, 18:33:00 UTC

You don't think the Syrians would have some kind of islamic voodoo dalai llama psychic control shit over their own disembodied hands?

Though the image of the handless fending off attacking hands is not only utterly hilarious, but bitterly ironic. Kudos, sir. My hat's off.

pneuros November 22 2006, 16:50:07 UTC

i would hear the shit out of some podcasts.

mr_jaeger November 22 2006, 17:11:21 UTC

Shit yeah!

I humbly accept this gift of affirmation, all the way from the great state of Canadia. I mean...i couldn't like point to it on a map, but I think it's in the midwest somewhere. Like south of Michigan. Still, it comes as a great honor. And they say Americans don't know how to be polite to people from other cultures...pshaw.

mai oh mai.

starburstlvr November 22 2006, 23:59:15 UTC

I would.

Do I need to say more? Like... oh please please, Josh - grace me with your voice!

How's that?

mr_jaeger November 27 2006, 13:41:44 UTC

Wait...you have dramatic wind in your user pic of your own head? I'm not sure i'm allowed to know you after seeing this.

But I don't need to know you, Stephanie, in order to grace you with my melodic little short stories.

Incidentally, "i would." sufficed. Though, possibly, as the unsurprising answer to any number of questions, not at all related to the content of this post.

starburstlvr November 27 2006, 14:03:53 UTC

Nah, it's just called "being too lazy to switch to another picture". However, to make it less confusing and allow you to sleep at night I shall use a more appropriate user pic.

=P

mr_jaeger November 28 2006, 13:17:50 UTC

I'm sorry, pet...apparently you misunderstood the focus of my incredulous statement. It was not the fact of it being a picture of yourself or anything that could be explained away by laziness. The focus...the crux, if you will, of this particular biscuit, as denoted by italics, is that you seem to have dramatic wind blowing your hair back like, "whooooosh, lookit me, i'm a Gal-On-The-Move!"

For now, the rawr and its disgusting cuteness will suffice.
