Virtual vehicles for the metaverse
Topics concerning that thing known as ‘real life’ and not virtual worlds.
The results are in and the people have spoken. To the question “Jeri Ryan or Jolene Blalock“, 35% voted for Jeri Ryan, 38% voted for Jolene Blalock, and 26% voted “neither”.
It was a squeaker, folks, but Jolene is the winner by a Vulcan hair.
Please note that this poll was completely unscientific and probably rigged.
Spring comes early this year — depending on which groundhog you consult. That means spring cleaning, which I launched into with reckless abandon this morning. I’m serious about it this year. A lot of old, useless stuff that has lurked in the corners of my home will get turfed today.
And lurking at the bottom of a cardboard box that I hadn’t opened in years was an old high school friend. Behold the purple jacket of Orange Shirt, Purple Jacket fame.
I wore this jacket throughout my last years in high school, my year at college, and first year at UBC. What can I say? I don’t like to throw away perfectly good items of clothing. Eventually I replaced the ol’ high school jacket and it found its way to the bottom of a cardboard box, and has been there for about ten years, waiting for the day that it would again be called into service.
I guess I’ll just chuck it into the dumpster.
This link posted by Zel had my blog persona rolling on the floor with laughter. Meanwhile, I was patiently sitting at my desk waiting for him to shut up and let me post this entry.
Where was I? Oh yes. The link: Engrish The Two Towers Captions.
This is an actual subtitle on a pirate copy of The Two Towers.
Other notable lines include:
“I bring word from Elfron the River of Death”
“Gandolf foogray that was my name”
“Aragon, son of Haratron and Borodel of Gondor”
“my lord Gandlof foorgray is coming”
“no I have to do Sam”
…and the classic…
“Bring your pussy face to my ass”.
Oh my.
It’s not even February 14 yet but the bloggers are all full-o-love. There’s a lot going around right now about blog crushes. And maybe not coincidentally, the words “I don’t even know you” seem to be appearing quite frequently too. But does that really matter?
When we create a blog, it becomes our online persona. All the world’s a web browser, Shakespeare wrote, and all the men and women merely bloggers. Well I’m sure he would have said that if they had blogs back then.
When we post a blog entry, we can’t help but write as our blog persona. It’s all role-playing. Imagine a great big costume party, in which several people in superhero masks and tights declare their affections for the person in the lederhosen. Meanwhile, several others in hamster outfits attack a team of Clark Gable impersonators, who are rescued by a pair of Zorros and a gorilla. Watching the mayhem are a sixpack of Judy Garlands (of which only one is actually a woman), an alien, and a gaucho. There’s also a Starfleet captain in an ill-fitting polyester uniform, but he’s sitting by himself in the corner, talking to the plant.
I lost the point in that somewhere. If anyone finds it, please let me know.
I’m outraged! How can they do this?
In an article that I found via podbaydoor.com, it says that the producers of the Lord of the Rings movies have added a new character to Return of the King that doesn’t appear in the novel — Jaromir.
