Lamb chops are both food and a hair style which should never be combined.

For those Star Wars fans in my list, I present the best homemade lightsaber battle ever.  Everyone else, don't worry, this whole post won't be about Star Wars.  I promise.

Last night, I dreamt that I was at a funeral and a few people had brought guns with them.  This terribly white-trash guy had brought a big, ugly shotgun and was so impressed with the uber-futuristic machine gun that my father had brought, he asked to see it.  Once the hick had my dad's gun, he started firing off test shots.  I got up in his face, demanding that he stop that, it's a funeral, goddammit, you're gonna hurt someone.  When he wouldn't stop and kept firing more shots, I grabbed the gun, wrestled with him a bit, finally got it away from him and beat him to the ground.

When kiwikat and her hubby shevus were over the other night for enchiladas, we played a friendly and semi-competitive game of Scrabble.  Afterwards, I said, "I should take a picture of the board and post it."  Then followed the idea to start a Scrabble community called scrabbleshots where people post pictures of their end-of-game Scrabble boards.  You know, so you can see other people's games and see what interesting and unique words were used.  Get new ideas.  Memorize two letter words and q-without-u words.  You know, be kind of geeky.

We also decided that Q Without U would be a good band name.

I also had the idea for the ClogBlog, which would be a blog all about wooden shoes.  You know, the latest in clog technology, new woods and synthetic woods, care procedures, styles.  I suppose the ClogBlog could also be about clogs in your drains, but that's kind of gross and no one wants to see or hear about that.  Except things like rotten.com exist so apparently some people want to hear or see about nasty shit.  And by shit, I mean both literal and figurative.

In further geek news, we're teaching Ethan to play Dungeons&Dragons tomorrow.  I haven't played since I was about fourteen, so it's like re-learning for me.  Jacquelyn is going to run a campaign for Ethan and I.  I'm half-frightened, half-excited.  Good thing I've kept up with the D&D universe through my eternal love for Baldur's Gate II.

Before we play, I'm making egg and cheese biscuits with veggie sausage for breakfast.  Then we're watching Edward Scissorhands because, only God know how such a sacrilege occurs, neither Ethan nor Jacquelyn have seen it.

I said the whole post wasn't going to be about Star Wars.  I never said it was going to be geekiness-free.  Instead the geekiness is free.  I won't charge you a penny.  Though, I will accept gifts of paid account time.  Because that's not geeky at all.

Isn't it weird that the essential hot girl of every movie finds an opportunity to dress in something revealing/flattering/skimpy/sexy, no matter how inappropriate it is for what's going on?  Sorry, I've got Indiana Jones and the Raider's of the Lost Ark on and that girl was wearing an evening dress on a Nazi submarine.  Perhaps the word I'm looking for is 'incongruous'.

"I need some disbelief to suspend."

So, some of the geekiness of my post has been offset because I quoted Bright Eyes just now and I listened to a Decemberists CD today.  See, all that cool music and my unabashed love of all-things-geek and my general aura of irony make me so hipster I can't even deal.

Right.

Or I'm a compulsive liar and I've been making all this up and I'm really going to drink some Budweiser while I watch NASCAR tomorrow.

there's already a band called Q and not U

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Damn them for having almost my idea!

I've got one band name reserved that I'm absolutely sure no one is going to snatch out from under me.

Are you ready for it?

I hope so.

Ok, if I ever start a band, or make music, I think I'm going to call it...


Dripping Wet & the Muse


Uh huh. That's right. $500 worth of pudding.

[pedero.livejournal.com]

That is an awesome dream, made me laugh and stuff.

[kiwikat.livejournal.com]

brian is taking today off, you should call him if you want a 4th for d&d. he loves teaching new people to play.

bright eyes makes posts MORE geeky not less.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Noooo... Bright Eyes is the indie-scene's musical darling, hipsters love him, and as we all know, hipsters are the epitome of cool because they won't even acknowledge that they are cool and especially that they're hipsters.

Thus, Bright Eyes makes things so cool. But I don't care, cuz I'm so scene.

Not.

You claimed ownership of, like, four of my ideas in this post. Scrabbleshots, Q Without U...

[antarcticlust.livejournal.com]

You're not supposed to tell anyone about the D&D! They'll think I'm a geek! :)

[antarcticlust.livejournal.com]

You stoll my Scrabbleshots community. You stole it! I can't believe you!

You'd better make me a moderator.

Thief.

[gutzilla.livejournal.com]

Star Wars, D&D, Clogs... I think you should go straight on to the moonshine and kill a man with your bare hands.

Coincidence? I think not.

[takhys]

About half an hour ago I used the word 'qanat' in a sentence.

[choogy.livejournal.com]

q and not u is a great band (couldn't you still do a "q without You" ?] BUT DID YOU JUST PULL OUT A BARRY AND LEVON REFERENCE?!?!?!!? that just made my week.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

That was SO a Barry and Levon reference :) Awww yeah!

So few people remember The State!

Well make sure you got enough Coppenhagen snuff. when you're done watching NASCAR you guys can all go outside in white robes and burn a cross ; D

I am so addicted to D&D it's not funny. I had to restrain myself from posting about this week's session. Mostly because I'm sure the idea of scarecrow sex is bothersome to someone, somewhere.

Have fun playing!

[strangedasein.livejournal.com]

Great SW video...I love the 2 minutes of rolling around on the ground! hahaha. Plus why do geeks always have to fight one handed?

My punk band name: Greasy Feces

$240 worth of puddin'! I love that skit! "And I'm Barry, Sagittarius"

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

I wonder who we have to petition to get the State released on DVD...

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Thanks, though it wasn't too fun for me, I have having to fight people, inr eal life or in dreams :P

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

I never said they were my ideas. I used the very generic WE because I couldn't remember who came up with what.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

D&D is totally acceptable now. It doesn't matter if your jackass ex-boyfriend uses it as a reason to make fun of you. He's showing his own embarassment, projecting his inadequacies on you. I seriously hope I never meet him. I'mnot violent, but after everything I've heard, he might get hurt.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Of course. You can totally have it.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

I left that part out because the statute of limitations hasn't expired yet.

Re: Coincidence? I think not.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

And may I ask why you were discussing gently sloping underground tunnels for irrigation purposes?

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I'm so two steps ahead of you! I already finished off a few Buds and left an inch of warm piss in the bottom to use as a spitoon.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Thanks, it was fun. I like my character, He's not very charismatic, but he's very wise, thus speaks his mind, which is usually the blunt and bare-honest truth, which of course gets him into a lot of trouble.

[gutzilla.livejournal.com]

Ah. Smart!

[antarcticlust.livejournal.com]

I should have added a ":)" in there somewhere.

And spelled "stole" correctly.

[antarcticlust.livejournal.com]

Aw. You're a sweet, sweet man.

The weird thing is, he'd want to play, and would enjoy playing, but even at the time it was this weird, closet thing we weren't supposed to talk about.

[antarcticlust.livejournal.com]

If it's a good idea, then I must have come up with it. Duh!

;)

Re: Coincidence? I think not.

Someone asked me why I would want to go to Iran, and I said that I had always wanted to see the city of Yazd, which as I'm sure you know, is famous for their ancient system of qanats.

Re: Coincidence? I think not.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

EXCELLENT!
