watching pilot to Bones.  girl killed, possibly by Senator, haven't finished the episode yet.

But her mom...Bonita Friedericy...you gotta have major cajones to mess with the daughter of General Diane Beckman.

My favorite scene of her from Chuck was the second time John Larouquette appears, she pulls the rocket launcher, and saves the day.

I know, I know, checking the birthdays thing is strange.  I'm a geek, bite me.  Yesterday was Jim Henson's birthday, that great imagination.  Today's is Mark Hamill, 61 today.  I didn't realize he is quite that old.

Happy birthday Luke.

Ok, I'm gonna have to cancel any game plans Saturday.  Turns out that's ULM's graduation - and since Holly is graduating (and family are coming in)  I've got to appear.

Sorry

In reply to Israel Levy (msg # 12):

oops.  That's fine.  We'll see about either rescheduling or something.

If you are up to it, maybe C&C Friday?  Multiplayer is one reason I got it, be nice to try it out.  Or anything else I have or am able to get in time.

(Like trying to finish that old Civ game)

I went looking at today's birthdays.

Special Mention: Nicholas Cage, Judith Belushi-Pisano, John's widow, and David Caruso.

Notables: that guy who played Hawkeye in avengers and been popping up everywhere lately like MI 4

Sammo Hung, who is just awesome, Alan Napier, best known as Alfred in the old Adam West Batman days.

Mark Allen shepherd, Morn from DS9.  Me, and Doug E. Doug.


Happy Birthday Us!

Is it bad that I have no idea who Doug E. Doug is?

In reply to Jacob Williams (msg # 17):

I know him best from Cool Runnings.  Josh knows him as the neighbor on Cosby.

You realize that the only way to celebrate a birthday that you share with Doug E. Doug would be to pull out the Tiny Wine and Paper slippers right? (One of the Best episodes of Cosby)

Nonetheless, Happy Birthday!

In reply to Israel Levy (msg # 19):

that or kiss a lucky egg (Cool Runnings)

hell, I'm thankful for the number of posts we've gotten today. Woohoo!

Rand Sulac: I'm just sayin', Selnar, it ain't fair.  Our game stalls and we're stuck on this metal hunk o' junk gettin' shot at on a bug infested world listening to Kimon warble so much I personally hate each and every one of the Lichens, their friends, relatives, and neighbors. Oh, and we got Reglia's yellin'.

Selnar:And what's yer point? Or are you just belly-aching again?
A singer in a smok-y room! Smella wine and cheeap perfuuuume!


My point? Well, look at that BlackWing 2 game.  It stalls, and where does that Jussik boy get stuck? In a posh bedroom with a full wet bar and a slutty twilek chick.

For  a moment there is no sound other than the heavy metal footfalls and blaster fire.
Even the singing has momentarily stopped as all ears are processing this thought, as they dodge blasters and bugs in bloody Geonosis, surrounded by a bunch of ugly ass guys.

Kimon:Hey Rand? Aren't all Twilek chicks kinda slutty?

Rand spits in disgust and retorts: Not compared to that one.

Selnar looks over at Rand, mind racing Well yutz! It's almost enough to drive a man bad isn't it?

That should bring back memories...

I always laugh at Mark for this, but since I've been playing Brutal Legend and rediscovering my love of heavy metal, I decided to look Jack Black up on IMDB.  It's amazing how much stuff he's been in, all the way back to 1984.  He was even in an episode of Touched by an Angel of all things!  My mind is officially blown now.

In reply to Jacob Williams (msg # 26):

without resorting to IMDB, the first thing I really remember him in is The Jackal with Bruce Willis.

I can't help it, we always played that game at home, and Mom is incredible at recognizing people from other things.  having the answer sheet is kinda fun.

In reply to GM (msg # 27):

Here's to Douglas Adams! And one of the coolest doo-hickies on Google.

Damn, I missed it.

that was evil.  though not as evil as the thought it made hobble thru my brain.  a thought so bad I don't think I should commit it to a post.
