Cam Launches Another Obscene Gesture Across the Pond

[misscam]

My Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy DVD has arrived. Rawr! Much, much love and eternal adoration to siraj. Owe you one! Thank you greatly.

Now if only the Doctor Who boxset was out for me to get my paws on, my Inner Shallow Shiny Lover would be happy for a week. Possibly.

Rader in Norway tied to controversial US missile defense

Oh, fabelous. If this truly is correct, I'm sending this obscene gesture post-haste to the White House. If the Norwegian government was in on this, I'm offering it to them too. If the Norwegian government was unaware and the US still uses the radar for something we didn't agree to, I'm doubling the obscene gesture across the pond.

International politics. Such a charming arena, innit?

Sometimes, I think it's a mirror of fandom, BNFs and fangirls and shipper wars and all. Which just goes to show, humans be humans whatever we're obsessing over.

In other news:

Danish PM faces lawsuit over Iraq war
Indian aid to Pakistan is accepted afer all
Croatia's gays go public

I see that obscene gesture and raise you another. Because unless you're secretly a mutant, you've only got two hands, and this may require more.

[chunkylimes.livejournal.com]

I raise you a diversion of all the world's sewage pipes.


Also: Go Croatia's Gays! Flamboyant gayness = t3h win.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

In a clinch, I can use my toes.

Though this may require a whole nation of people's obscene gestures.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Go them indeed. I'm not sure how things are in Croatia concerning acceptance of homosexuality, but I'm guessing they have ways to go if they feel the need for such a gesture. Fingers crossed for it helping.

[jedilora.livejournal.com]

I tried real hard. You have my toes in a major clinch.

Man, why can't Geena Davis REALLY be President? She's so good at it on TV, and it's all scripted nowadays anyway.

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

I finished watching the Who eps...

New teeth? silliest first words ever, ;)

I miss nine already, wah.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Because she might ruin all those traditional family values?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Me toooooo... Wah! I'm prepared to give Ten a chance, but Nine is just so fantastic. I want more!

So are you addicted now?

[siraj.livejournal.com]

*blushes horribly* You don't owe me anything, really. I mean it. Consider it a Christmas or birthday gift, if need be.


*cocks his head, then raises an eyebrow* strange how it got there in a week though, whereas a letter my mom sent me halfway across the country took 2 and a half weeks to arrive... stupid postal service... oh well.

[chem-nerd.livejournal.com]

Sometimes, I hate my government...
Need some spare hands for those obscene gestures?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I do. But you don't have to collect unless you wanna. Should you ever want anything though, I can do you a favour I'll never collect ;)

Must be the efficient Norwegian postal service.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

They're always most welcome.

The private company was set up by the US Department of Commerce to oversee the domain name and addressing systems, such as country domain suffixes. It manages how net browsers and e-mail programs direct traffic.

"In 2047 the company was purchased by Henry Van Statten, the reclusive bajillionaire, who is is rumored to have holdings in several major science-based corporations."

See? It can all come back to Doctor Who.

(As I blithely ignore all the other evilness and pretend all is right with the world)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

And then the Doctor can wave his sonic screwdriver and make it much better.

Until the Daleks invade, anyway.

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

probably

i read all your whofics now ;)

(which is bad thing, i have assignment due tomorrow)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Whee! At last! *celebrates*

Bad you, little miss naughty. But how can assignments measure up again the Doctor? It's just no contest.

[chem-nerd.livejournal.com]

Excellent...

[sinneahtes.livejournal.com]

*also raises an eyebrow* You know, I notice that every time I send a letter or package to Europe (have yet to try Norway specifically, though), it takes about three or four days to get there, but when someone sends me something back, it's never here until about two weeks have passed... (My mom swears the postal service reads our mail ;P)

::coughiconlove::

[highwindpav.livejournal.com]

Rrrbbbs? I declare icon love and it flees! Icons are scared of me!

[highwindpav.livejournal.com]

I figure I'll offer a couple extra hands for those obscene gestures...sounds like someone needs 'em.

And blaaaarg on the Internet thing. I can't even imagine how to untangle the truley world-wide nature of the Internet with international politics thrown in. Makes my head hurt.

[chem-nerd.livejournal.com]

Thanks, but it's not mine:-) It's penguinchan's.

[chem-nerd.livejournal.com]

It's gone? I still see it. Ambi-sinister, right?

[highwindpav.livejournal.com]

It came back! It's messing with my mind! It turned into your default flask after the first post then back to ambi-sinister after the second. (Hmmm, must seek out where you're getting your TNG icons...I want some, maybe a couple TOS, too...then again, when I have more time, I might go crazy with my DVDs...)

[siraj.livejournal.com]

Heh... mmmmmaybe I'll consider it... maybe.

Wouldn't surprise me!

[siraj.livejournal.com]

Hey, Nall goodness! Huzzah for another Lunar fan!

[siraj.livejournal.com]

Weird, innit?

[chem-nerd.livejournal.com]

Try trekicons :-)

Also referred to as "just upgraded to a paid account and going a little icon-wild." Unfortunately, a bunch of the ones I want are only on Morgoth's hard drive...

[highwindpav.livejournal.com]

I love Nall :) And for some reason I like that dork Nash, too. I wished I'd picked up the re-release of Lunar 2 that came with a Ghaleon punching puppet... ::le sigh::

[siraj.livejournal.com]

I've got the Lunar 2 box set... sadly, I lost all my standees and most of the omake box stuff in the move *tear*

Ruby rocks muchly, as does Ronfar.

And yes, Nash is a dork, and amusing, but I preferred Alex.

[highwindpav.livejournal.com]

Icon Lust nab you or just felt like paying? :) ::has also been going a tad icon crazy::

Ack, any way to make Morgoth cough them up? Sic Ungoliant on him and make him give them over, yea, with both hands?

[highwindpav.livejournal.com]

::pouts:: I've never played Lunar 2, it just cost too much and was out for such a short time when I had a chance at it. ::hangs head in shame:: I like Alex OK, but for some reason Nash's jackassiness just amused me far too much.

[siraj.livejournal.com]

If I can find a used copy of it, would you accept it if I sent it to you?

... Reminds me, I still need to get a DS, so I can pick up Lunar DS...

*Is a Lunar whore*

[chem-nerd.livejournal.com]

Icon Lust, definitely. As far as I know, Morgoth's hard drive is fine. The Power Supply, however, has been attacked by a rather large herd of Uruk-hai who seem to have mistaken it for a hafling. Theoretically, as soon as I manage to get it a working AC adapter, it should be great. However, I am a college student, and thus have no time. But I'm prepeared to call in Ungoliant if necessary...

[highwindpav.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sure I would. I'd pay for it, of course. ::is owned by Square, but ventures into other RPG territory quite often::

They're making a Lunar DS?! Mmm, must check into this...I'm so behind on my gaming news.

[highwindpav.livejournal.com]

Icons are like LJ gateway drugs, I swear.

Hopefully you can get Morgoth's power supply fixed (even if it takes an act of Ilúvatar to do it)...I'd lend you some of my time if I knew how to bottle it. I'd make a mint.

"My 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' DVD has arrived."
You know where your DVD is, but do you know where your towel is? :-)

[chem-nerd.livejournal.com]

I'm only a little addicted, honest...
Time would be nice, but I'm not likely to get it.

[aervir.livejournal.com]

Enjoy your Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy! It should provide a nice distraction from the sordidness of international politics.

[git-the-goddess.livejournal.com]

*Channels Veruca Salt* Daddy, I want the Doctor Who boxset NOW!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I think it makes everyone's head hurt. But it would be oh so nice of the White House might remember that the Net is not just American and in fact, the rest of the world numbers more people.

Sigh.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yes. It's in teh bathroom.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

It's certainly not elss silly.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

*joins in the channeling*

[siraj.livejournal.com]

Nah... No worries, hey? I can probably find a copy for $20, probably less, considering age, and considering you're close to me (you're Cali, I'm in Oregon)... eh, it would run me maybe $40, grand total. I was going to run some errands this weekend anyway, I'll see if I can find a copy around town...

[highwindpav.livejournal.com]

Thanks, you doth rock :) Used without all the goodies, yeah, I think $20 wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility. And closeness does help.

[siraj.livejournal.com]

^_^ I enjoy doing things for people. Balances out all my bad karma.

[highwindpav.livejournal.com]

:) Sweetie.
