Happy Birthday, [livejournal.com profile] eryx_uk!
Happy bday




Say! Speaking of the UK, My keyword auto-downloader picked up episodes one and two of torchwood! Does that mean I'll be getting dr who episodes soon? That'll make up for the ended season of Venture Brothers.



Got to thinking about my old superhero concept for Stigmata yesterday... then Billy Crystal / Bruno Kirby with [livejournal.com profile] blackhellkat... Which invited the Burger King / Burger Christ comparison via initials.

Burger Christ. What a great, blasphemous name for a fast food joint.

Many terrible biblical puns came up for foodstuffs afterward.

"The Flood" - Jumbo Drink, served with a toy ark for the kiddies.
"Pound of Flesh" burger
Gadzooks - french fries shaped like nails. (ketchup or [livejournal.com profile] graypumpkin's sacred dipping sauce on the side)
Garden of eden apple/walnut salad - you can only order it once, then you're barred from the restaurant. bhk added the idea of a snakey crouton.

The others aren't leaping immediately to mind.. oh! "Lot's Wife" Salt shakers and Noah's Animal Crackers (comes in pairs)

Just terrible.

It seems I'm not the first to think of Burger Christ.

Watched Open Season yesterday, as it got a trifle too hot at Viva Broward. (I did get my Arepa, so the journey was worth it.) The movie was *a lot* more funny than I'd thought a vehicle featuring the voices of Ashton Kutchner and Martin Lawrence could be.



Walkabout pics from yesterday. Mostly construction and the Mexican place at riverwalk. (Compare Saturday's walkies pic with Sunday's... pretty dang similar.)

Our tree's face lost an eye. I like him better as a cyclops.

Sneaky guy in sunglasses found his way into my wacky statuary picture. I like it better with a friendly wave. He offered to take my picture with stuff, but I politely declined - he seemed a little off-kilter, and I didn't want him to break or steal my camera. When he walked away, he yelled over his shoulder "We're the people our parents warned us about!".

Forest-y faces. I ran across them recently when window shopping:

Oddly enough..if I'm on the street and I see a male listening to an mp3 player with headphones -- I'm less nervous about him. Still on guard...but not as much.

hm, very interesting indeed.. our tree needs an eyepatch!

why are you less nervous? I've found I can put on headphones, but not listen to music... and people are more free to talk with my sitting nex tto them... and I can listen to conversations that I shouldn't.

last time I did, it was a prostitute and a john price-arranging.

Basically, head phone wearers don't lock eyes with me for abnormal amounts of time. I'm sure not all are listening to something, but no matter what they are or are not listening to, no headphone wearer has stared at me innapropriately.

People who did get their hands on me in the far past, and even those who tried but failed - ALL locked eyes with me. Each for an extended period of time that is considered abnormal with a stranger.

I later read it's pretty common for someone with criminal intent, to stare at their subject.

I wouldn't doubt that someone has already figured out that a prop (headphones or some other item), gives others a false sense of security.

"inappropriately"

So did the prostitute/john thing seem sorta normal to you, or no? Things start start to die down at about 3-4 AM in Vegas & they come out noticeably in the casinos then. When I hear them talking to a john, or talking business with another prostitute, it feels a little bizarre to be privy to that.

Speaking of Torchwood, onc again my isohunt skills are failing me. You have a link for the two episodes shown last night?

Thanks. I'll give that a try when I get home tonight.

That guy does sound a little off, especially that final remark.
The way the hands are on that South American statue looks like it’s trying to sneak in a cartoony sorta way.

he was a bit weird.. maybe drunk? he wasn't carrying a beer or anything, but viva broward was right up the street, and booze was pouring pretty freely.
I can see the statue sneeking up on scooby and shaggy with the "doont-doont-doont-doo-doo-dun-dundundun" music in the back ground.

Yep, probably drunk and stoned and stumbled off of a sailboat somewhere nearby.
