The Late Shift II: The Muppets Tonight!

00:14 / 20.09.03

Yeah yeah, it's Friday night and some of you have lives, but I'm afraid I still haven't. Just sitting around, running my antivirus and trying to figure out how to do a presentation on Monday about what Shaw thought of Ibsen. Anyone in the house who can entertain a lady whose brain is just worn out?

I've just popped in "Muppets from Space." Surely there is someone here who will be Gonzo to my Rizzo this evening?

00:25 / 20.09.03

I always rather liked Rizzo, myself. Rats are great animals - intelligent, friendly and so damnably cute, albeit not quite at the baby hedgehog level.

Not checking Barbelith at work mean that I keep getting solid lumps of Barbelith at present. It does seem a lot livelier at present, altohugh a fair amount of that seems to be pretty repetitive. Is this what it means to be Will Young?

My first pet was a white rat named Penelope, and she was just the best. Clever little thing. Our vet gave us the lab animal rate for her. Way better than hamsters or gerbils. Harder to lose than mice.

Forgive me, I'm afraid I don't know Will Young.

Hello all of you!!! (rat people vs baby hedgehog people...the new Pirates vs Ninja?)
Its 9:38 pm here...and: My name is Kegboy and I have no life tonight.
Its more of a cash of no cash than no life. Im just sitting around doing some photoshop stuff and listening to the Charmed season finale in the background.

00:42 / 20.09.03

Well obviously I represent Animal, but as I grow older I seem to associate more with one of the two old gits who sit in the theatre boxes and shout abuse.

Don’t worry Maz we have nearly all forgot who Will Young “is” around here, but his presence still lingers in UK culture like a bad fart.

00:42 / 20.09.03

You're not missing much. Winner of our isles' version of "American Idol". Which was not, of course, called "American Idol". That would have been psychotic.

My first pet was also a rat, likewise my second and third. Nothing wuffles quite like an affectionate rat. Hamsters, by comparison, were rather dim and one-note. Gerbils likewise, but also insanely twitchy.

Rats all the way, indubitably. Or okapis. I alsways felt okapis would make very good pets...

00:45 / 20.09.03

I've always wanted to crossbreed a hedgehog with an armadillo. Armour and Spikes!!! How awesome would that be????

00:49 / 20.09.03

Deadly. And yet adorable.

Persephone

00:51 / 20.09.03

Just like me.

00:51 / 20.09.03

I want one.

00:53 / 20.09.03

rat people vs baby hedgehog people...the new Pirates vs Ninja?

Oh, no. Let rats and baby hedgies come together and be happy.

I cannot afford pets at the moment, having taken my amateur student status and turned pro, but I'm still a fan of kittens and their elder counterparts, cats.

Wasn't the original '-insert your nation here- Idol' from the British Isles?

Why not? There's already a Ferret-Badger.

00:58 / 20.09.03

01:01 / 20.09.03

And then you can breed them with pirahna for those amazing teeth and also with pitbulls for the jaw from hell and then with rabbits soo they multiply like...like rabbits. Then I will take over the world!!!

The cats round here are scary. Scary cats. Long, lean things, rangy as dingoes. They hang around in gangs. They know things and they won't tell. They are plotting something, all of them-- yea, even unto that big fat old demi-siamese and the itty little ginger kitten who still has blue eyes.

Scary cats.

01:03 / 20.09.03

Yes. We're really. Sorry. Because it was the first, it was simply known as "Pop Idol". As in "sacrifice goats to your pop idol".

I'm sorry, but I can only be a certain king prawn w/r/t MFS role-playing. "I'm going to spank you like a bad, bad donkey, okay?"

I have no idea what I'm doing here. I came to campus w/the intention of working but...what was I thinking? It's friday night. I never get anything done on friday nights. I was invited to a certain "Whiskey Night" at a friend's house tonight, so maybe I should go get plastered. Especially since my alcoholic beverage consumption is generally comparable to that of an infirm old man of 75. I am lame at being a college student.

01:15 / 20.09.03

Do Pop Idols like that? I'd think they'd get awfully squicked. They seem fragile. Yet persistent. Perhaps they have strong root structures, like dandelions.

01:21 / 20.09.03

I sooo hate the Idol thingy. We had our first 'Canadian' Idol. Once they got to the final 5 all thoughts quality control went out the window. They started voting off the best one, then the second best, than third and finally we we left with the two that I wouldnt even want to hear at a drunken karaoke party. And the voting was screwed up because the morons incharge couldnt understand the concept of time zones and so some places got double the amount of time to vote. ARRRgh!
The one that should have one had all the judges in tears with her auditions song, Billie Hollidays "God Bless the Child". Amazing...and the winner was a crappy singing waiter.

Go here for the God Bless the Child song...amazing

01:35 / 20.09.03

Bless the Child was a dreadful movie. But I think the girl who wound up playing Ginny Weasley was in it. I'm not really sure. It would be very sad if any of the Harry Potter children wound up being American/Canadian/British Idols. "Ten points from Gryffindor for being the twenty-fifth person to sing that damn Whitney Houston song this hour!"

God I need me a life.

01:38 / 20.09.03

Why cant I get my links to work???
Jenny Music.

BTW Maz, it also has one of the best versions Rene and Georgette Magritte with their Dog after the War. I now want to name my next dog "Afterthewar"

02:00 / 20.09.03

Have I killed yet another L8shift??

02:05 / 20.09.03

Oh no, dear, I don't think so.

On a completely different note, the back of my Midol says "Ask a doctor before use if you have difficulty in urination due to enlargement of the prostate gland." Is Midol popular among men? That's rather curious. Not to be sexist, but I just wouldn't think that it would have a large consumer base among the male gender.

02:11 / 20.09.03

Maybe midol has uses other than PMS? Midol for hangovers? Midol for jockitch? Midol for receeding hairlines?

02:22 / 20.09.03

Hrm. Hangovers, probably not. It's mostly acetaminophen and diuretics, so that'd probably just bore a hole in your liver and make your headache even worse. I don't know what causes jock itch, but I don't really want to. Receding hairlines... gosh. I'm really not sure. I suppose it could be used to counter medications that cause one to retain water.

Curiouser and curiouser.

02:47 / 20.09.03

Acetaminophen, I can see, diuretics, no, not really.

It'll be one of those things the FDA requires you to put on the labelling. Just in case someone sues. Take a look at the labelling on Paxil for PMDD.

02:57 / 20.09.03

Yeah, I know. But it gave me pause, nonetheless. "Wait... I don't have a prostate, right? No, I don't. I didn't think so."

02:59 / 20.09.03

Are you sure?

How would you know?

Maybe it's in an unusual place.

03:03 / 20.09.03

Fridge, sweetness, I still have friends who insist I have no organs at all, but am in fact filled with tapioca pudding. I've learned not to let these things pester me beyond a few moments concern.

03:05 / 20.09.03

I think mine's touring Nebraska...
Somewhere Over The Raibow played on the Ukelele is just oo kickass!!!

Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?
(I think its Steven Wright..)

Goodness Gracious Meme

03:06 / 20.09.03

honey, if you had my friends, being filled with tapioca would make you *very* popular...

and definitely tasty *g*

03:08 / 20.09.03

You could stick your finger up your nose one day, and have something of a surprise.

If I were you, I'd make sure exactly where any prostate you might have was. It can only be beneficial information. Is that correct grammar?

03:08 / 20.09.03

Yeah but then you'd be kept in the fridge all the time and could only read when someone opened the door...Its too sad am existence to contemplate.

03:09 / 20.09.03

Mine tends to stay where it is, but you can move it around with a magnet. It's quite convenient. I had it in my ear once, that was interesting.

03:12 / 20.09.03

I always prefered rice pudding, but whatever. It's time for this pudding cup to go to sleep. Good night to you all, huggles all around.
