8353 - Mamma's Day!

[scottobear]

Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers!

Well, Momster and Wilt are pretty sick and out of commission, so that frees up my Sunday brunch schedule. Walkies it is! I'm not going to dine out this morning, because I know it's pretty much a universal restaurant crowd sort of holiday. It just means I can go to a non-mommy-type place with relative ease today... maybe a movie?

Had a lovely long phone talk yesterday, to make more vacation plans, but we ended up simply chitty-chatting... that was quite nice, too.

An Alien Saucer is hovering overhead. A cone of coherent lime green light erupts from the bottom center of the craft, and strikes a man walking down the street.

He vanishes with a flash, and a popping sound of air rushing to fill the void where he once was.

Moment of Lyric - mp3

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down

Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

Oh no, they say he’s got to go
Go go Godzilla, yeah
Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla, yeah

Rinji news o moshiagemasu!
Rinji news o moshiagemasu!
Godzilla ga ginza hoomen e mukatte imasu!
Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai!
Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai!

Oh no, they say he’s got to go
Go go Godzilla, yeah
Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla, yeah

History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of men
Godzilla!

got some problems in that thar post, scotto! :)

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

how about now? you caught me mid edit! :D

[kayeyem.livejournal.com]

;) I'm just that quick. heh. All better now.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I appreciate your vigilant eyes!!

Birds should wear bowler hats and carry umbrella's.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

It seems only right to me! Maybe a little folded newspaper under the wing?

[eryx-uk.livejournal.com]

Sounds right.,

[graypumpkin.livejournal.com]

I think it makes sense for British birds to wear bowler hats and carry umbrellas but American birds should wear fedoras.
French birds berets and tiny loves of bread under a wing, Mexican birds sombreros and so on.

[eryx-uk.livejournal.com]

Surely American birds should wear cowboy hats?

[graypumpkin.livejournal.com]

Texan and other midwestern birds sure, but I can't see the birds of new england and other yankee states wearing cowboy hats.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Maybe out in crunchy granola oregon or california, they can wear hooded sweatshirts?

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I really adore the canadian birds with the little knit touques with the pom-pom on top.

1) When he became aware of the threat, he used his powers to make himself invisible, and then escaped.

2) He was their God, but fled their world when he grew tired of hearing the lies they told about him. Now they want him back because his Divine replacement has turned out to be a total dick.

3) But only some birds. Cranes, for example.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

1. Lucky thing!

2. Man, some things are the same, no matter what planet you're on!

3. I think a crane in a fedora would be quite dapper.. maybe a bit like David Niven.

[rejectomorph]

This is not well known, but David Niven was in fact part crane. He was blackmailed for years by Louella Parsons after she caught him swallowing a whole herring live.

[graypumpkin.livejournal.com]

Those were the dark days of Hollywood where being part bird could really hurt an actor’s career. Imagine the uproar there would have been if people knew that Lou Costello was in fact part penguin or that Robert Mitchum was part barn owl. Luckily we live in much more enlighten times and today folks like Neil Patrick Harris can proudly claim their avian heritage, he's a 1/4 ostrich and no one blinks an eye.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

It was really hard for Neil to film Starship troopers... every time a large cgi bug leapt out of the ground, he'd relase a frightened squawk, and go running around his pen at upwards of 40 mph.

Depends on the beam. If it's wide and is vertically straight up & down from ship to target, then I think the guys been transported. If it's narrow or angled then I think he's been vaporized.

And if he just strolled along under a hovering spaceship then he's either very distracted by top secret government data which the aliens obviously require access to OR he is some sort of mole they are retrieving and he's trying to act casual so the humans don't tear him apart before he can be evac'ed.

Happy mother's day to you, D'Art's mama!

You make an excellent point about angle of attack, and cone-width. The only deviation I can even think of are the destructo-beams in ID4, and every rule has to have an exeption, I suspect.

[kat78731.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's not iron clad, still best not to throw yourself under any space ship beams unless you have a little more info to go on.

[graypumpkin.livejournal.com]

Now you tell me.

*Collapses into a pile of ashes*

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

When I get disintigrated, I hopemy skeleton lasts at least a fraction of a second longer than the rest of my body, and collapses like a jenga-tower to xylophone-sounds..

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

your head was on fire to begin with, silly pumpkin!

[graypumpkin.livejournal.com]

Wow a message from the past. Or to the us back then the future. Creepy.
Note past self, sell microsoft Vista is gonna suck.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

a year too late!!

ah well, microsoft stock is still pretty healthy anyhow, right?

[graypumpkin.livejournal.com]

stoopid time travel.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

at least we're still in style!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

that is still sound advice, 2 years later.
