Sometimes I amuse myself

Especially when I get up from a night of migraine-induced sleep deprivation and jump onto Facebook to see what mischief I can manage. Behold my crazed witticisms!

One person said: Question of the day: If John McCain made a similar speech last night, would you say "Give him time, he didn't start this" or would you say "He's a warmongering nutjob?"
To which I responded: I would say "Give him time, he didn't start this. It was the warmongering nutjob before him who did."

Someone else said: I had a dream about a woman who started a non-profit organization whose mission was to destroy all remnants of the band Loverboy.
To which I responded: That's a grueling job. I bet she caught herself working for the weekend more than once.

And, then dr_nebula posted this: It's a dark and rainy day in the SE. So here's an image of an emission nebula (star forming region) NGC 281 - the "Pacman Nebula." This is a stack of 25 x 3 minute exposures with a modified Canon XS through an 80mm Vixen.
And I just had to say: You should have panned back some so you could have gotten the Ghost nebula right behind it.

The League of Gentleman

I'm now convinced you can pretty much find anything on You Tube. This is a good thing.

Questions from thenodrin

1. If Mel Brooks made History of the World Pt 2 for a summer 2010 release, who would you want to see in it?
Definitely Cloris Leachman and Gene Wilder. Peter MacNicol would be cool too. He's a hell of a comedian. Mel himself of course. Anyone else Mel deemed worthy. I have always and will always trust his judgement.

2. You are writing your main character's Crowning Moment of Awesome, the thing that the character was created to do and that everything in the main plot pushed toward. What happens next?
I have a start a new book with totally different characters. Or write a book having to do with the character outside the main plot. That's all I'm gonna say about it.

3. You are out of town for the weekend and have forgotten your cell phone charger. Early Sat morning the battery dies. How do you react?
I'm not really concerned because I don't have a cell phone.

4. Portrait or landscape?
Depends on the picture, now doesn't it?

5. What is your favourite Christmas memory from your childhood?
Watching the Rankin/Bass specials on TV.
