sundries: "baby, your fandom has problems" edition

[rm]

Subject line: What Patty said when we watched the video of Gareth David-Lloyd riding a mechanical sheep. Video from dr_is_in. There are also stills of the thing over on the Casimir Effect website.

The story of the pilots who overshot Minneapolis gets weirder. They say they weren't arguing and weren't sleeping, but had gotten involved in a covo and hadn't heard the radio. So what they hell were they doing? Arguing about healthcare reform? fucking? I am confused.

Tonight we are going to see Where the Wild Things Are.

Heard back from the Center for Fiction Writing. I'll be going in next week to settle on space and stuff.

Our wireless router, which has never worked wirelessly, suddenly is. Internet in bed!

Because we both come from fandom, Patty and I call each other OTBaby -- like OTP (One True Pairing) but with the fact that we call each other "baby" among other things. So we just ordered matching OTBaby necklaces from Wyrding Studios.

CNN has more details on the girl who doesn't know who she is including another picture and more evidence of possible fanishness. Please contact the authorities if you have information. I know there are at least two theories going around fandom about who she is -- someone needs to make the call.

More as it happens.

Haven't I told you my high school sheep story?!?!? (It's almost as good as the monkey story)

OMG OMG

So, my high school was full of the FFA crowd raising prize animals for show. This one boy had intimate relations with a sheep my freshman year. Apparently, he did not use protection and caught a fungus of some kind and had to go to the doctor. *HIS MOTHER* told her church group, in order to get some prayers for her poor boy losing his way and being seduced by prize winning sheep. The story of course got out everywhere, spread all through school and is now something of an urban legend. The joke became to always use protection, no matter what you fuck, to avoid the fungus.

WE ARE SO FUNNY!
(I've always wanted to a Soviet Realist style poster of a man and a sheep with that slogan on it.)
It is one of my absolute favorite stories to tell, though I have hard time not cracking up through it.

It really does bring the whole "junior college sheep fuckers" insult to a whole new level!
