A rare “ears up” reaction from Bucky at the horrifying realization that Fungo the Ferret and his buddies probably bought up all the modified “Bucky Katt” action figures because they were ready-made voodoo dolls. Serves him right for ruining Rob’s expensive Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Lord of the Rings figurines. I had to blog this, because it cracks me up to see perennially cranky Bucky with his ears perked up – in most cats this is a sign of pleasure and interest, but in Bucky’s case it usually means “Oh, shit!” Besides which, I just lurve Satchel’s clueless but…

Up at the counter, Colin repeats that he will pay 50 dollars, and no more. But he has no problem paying the 50 — “No problem,” he says. “Hakuna matata.” I’m sorry, my head just exploded from him being such an enormous tool. Ahhhhh. Miss Alli drops the hammer on the Biggest. Tool. Evar in her latest recap at TWOP. It’s late – I stopped reading here. I’m behind on my “reportage,” but it seems like a lot of other bloggers are offering their 2 dinar on the latest episodes. The “Colin’s going to jail” episode continues to enthrall folks,…

Funnies Stuff Bucky Katt is at it again: he proposes to make dinner for Rob and Satchel. He says he shall require a plump rat, a sprig of catnip, and a throw rug. Cotton. I think I know what the throw rug is for. Food Stuff We didn’t order a pizza tonight, we marinated some salmon in a ponzu-like concoction that consisted of soysauce, orange juice, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, toasted sesame seeds, ground multi-colored pepper, and garlic. This time, there was a little wasabi in there. Last time, I grated some orange zest in there. Either way, it…

The TAR recaplet from Miss Alli at TWOP: Colin puts the Colin puts the “ugh” in “Ugly American” this week as he decides to stage an international incident over 50 dollars. Snarky local authorities (why yes, they do speak English…does Colin speak Swahili?), lectures on contract law, bugged-out eyes, and an aggravated girlfriend combine to make him appear to be just about the biggest jackhole they’ve ever put on this show. And remember, we know Wil. Elsewhere, the Twinkies learn that even stopped instincts are right twice a day, Chip learns that being a generous tipper is a dangerous game,…

Yay! AAR has a Windows Media link on the “Listen Live” link. This means that I could listen at work without a delay, and also means I can listen to Randi Rhodes again. Now that my schedule keeps me shackeled to my SABRE set until 6pm or after, this is a damn good thing.

Holy crap! It’s the Farscape trailer! Man, I have to remind myself what the backstory was with all the secondary (and tertiary) characters. This show was a Friday night staple for years, and I’d forgotten how much I’d enjoyed it. Via June, the speaker for the dead.

Al Franken had an idea: what if everyone in America that disagreed with Bushco’s agenda ran outside at the same time(10pm Eastern?) and shouted“Oh no ya don’t!” or equivalent local colloquialisms. In Chicago, this means we’ll run out and yell “You’ve got to be (fuckin’) kiddin’ me!” (suburbs) or “Don’t even go there” (downtown) or “Oh no you di’int!” (Southside). In New York, they’ll apparently holler “Fuggedabouddit!”

It’s official. Colin and Christie are my new favorite TAR team to despise. More taxi shenanigans, and boy did sweet karma bite him in the Xtreme ass: a flat tire, a tantrum in which he attempted to short the hapless taxi driver, and very nearly, a stay in the Kilimanjaro International Airport hoosegow. And still this team came in first and won a trip to the Caribbean. However, the laggards finished up most satisfactorily; the idiot twins drove right into the gate of the location of the skydiving stunt, but in spite of a big honkin’ red and yellow flag…

This was one of those drop-everything-and-find-this-on-Amazon tunes: a group called Whirligig. The CD is called Spin. The tune was “Wink.” It was supposed to be in the New Acoustics channel, but it was this loopy Celtic/Klezmer romp. And here’s another one: Celtic Cafe by Karen Ashbrook and Paul Oorts. The song: “Style Musette.” This time it’s Celtic mashed up with a gypsy waltz. Jeez, I’d better get to bed, but this channel’s a good find.

Two more of Miss Alli’s TAR recaps from TWOP: The amazing brothers get Philiminated out at the Egyptian “archeological dig,” because Lance just plain threw in the trowel. The amazing cousins end their bid to make Desperanto the lingua speak-o of the world, after Charla performs one more eating Roadblock that her cousin Mirna pushed off on her. Mmm! Yummy scrambled Tanzanian ostrich eggs!
