Grudges, wank, news, mortal enemies, evil bunnies and WoW geekery (with meme).

[misscam]

Figures after doing a post on fandom grudges I spot this. And of course I know who both those two are. Ah, CSI fandom. You totally want us to get drunk in the wankshelter bar, don't you?

Holy Odin's eye, VictoriaBitter returns! OMG. Blast from wanky, wanky LotR past. I was vaguely around for some of this, though it's not the LotR wank I remember the best.

Headline spotted at manticoran's: Swiss Acidentally Invade Liechtenstein. Bwhahahaha.

maureenlycaon pointed me to this cat with 26 toes. Kinda weirdly cute.

Meanwhile, Norway's digging itself out of snow (pictures). Kinda mad, innit? We had to get snow off our roof in 1994, I remember, or it would've caved on us. Now the weather has turned mild, so the snow has kinda turned to this white mush. Today, it rained. Definitely spring in the air, oh yes.

So did you know Wkipedia now has a mortal enemy of sorts- Conservapedia? According to itself, it's Conservapedia is a much-needed alternative to Wikipedia, which is increasingly anti-Christian and anti-American (...) You will much prefer using Conservapedia compared to Wikipedia if you want concise answers free of "political correctness". It certainly doesn't take long to spot a certain bias on there.

It reminds me how much people who sneer "political correctness" at any sort of use of tact or consideration in society make me want to don a Viking helmet and be very incorrect and violent, though. Argh.

Have plotbunny of doom from thread about fanfic pet peeves and wrote two pages on Like Fireflies, a dark Doctor/Rose thing, though it mainly is a Rose story. Even got a summary of sorts - Little Red Riding Hood. Big bad time in the clothes of grandma TARDIS. Maybe a prince, just without a kingdom. Certainly ever after. But this isn't a fairytale. This is a price to pay. Haven't sat down to seriously write in a long time. Gonna need a beta too - maybe at the end of this week already.

WoW update: Been lvl 70 for over a week now. Have flying mount. lotus79 have hit 40 and mount, which pleased us both muchly. Huzzah! And because I am a geek, I have pictures. Me and one of my pets. (I have a similar one in green as well. If you can guess/spot/reason what I've named them after, I will give you a geek cookie.) Me (on flying mount) and bro. He's a paladin dwarf and quite widdle little-brotherly cute, if you ask me. Me and Saz. We should totally get a picture of our two characters, lotus79, and make terribly geeky icons.

Finally, a meme: Post a comment asking me for my top five list of anything. Food, songs, venomous snakes, fanfics, smells, TV-shows-I-pretend-not-to-watch-but-totally-do, chocolates... And so on. I'll reply and ask the same of you. You can post the meme in your LJ if you want even more lists.

Ah, CSI fandom. You totally want us to get drunk in the wankshelter bar, don't you?

When I saw that post, I wondered if it was some sort of response to that... apparently not, eh?

And... What are your top five smells?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Lot of backstory there, really. But what doesn't have a backstory in CSI fandom these days, huh?

1. Lavender.
2. Vanilla.
3. Pine.
4. The smell after rain.
5. Newly baked bread.

Top five animal-shaped slippers.

Wow, that Conservapedia is... something. I was amused to find that they call their submissions rules "comandments." I was not surprised to find that the words wicca, wiccan and witch have no entries. There was one for pagan, though:

A pagan is someone who beleives in false gods. The First Commandment is, Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.
Most pagans are ancient, like the Greeks and Romans, but there are also modern pagans like witches and Muslims, who do not beleive in Jesus.

Muslims are pagans? The only qualification for being a pagan is to belive in anything other than the christian god? Interesting.

I thought the rule of thumb was to take all Wiki entries with a grain of slat, sometimes a large one?

[evilstorm.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the Conservapaedia? Pisses me off for so many reasons, one of which is that I'm a wikignome and goddamnit we work hard to make good entries, fuck'em all.

[kippurbird.livejournal.com]

It certainly doesn't take long to spot a certain bias on there.

So... if I were to write a paper that includes faith in every other sentence would that make me more religious than that article?

Time to step up the creation of newvinland! Viking ass-kicking would be so refreshing.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Someone seems to be ignorant of the fact that Christian God and Islam God is the same one. Granted, a lot of differences in interpretation exist between the two, but it's the same God. The Qu'ran says so outright, even.

Atheism has an entry, though. OHNOES THE UNBELIEVERS. What's worst of a pagan and an atheist, one wonders.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Apparently, that only counts for every wiki but that one.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

*pats*

Have a cookie, gnome. I think you do good.

The accusations of being "liberal" thrown at websites by American right-wingers amuse me for two reasons. 1) In many parts of Europe, "liberal" has a quite different meaning and is actually to the right in politics. 2) Liberal compared to what? To the right-winged conservatives in the US? That is a bit like complaining everyone is so far below you when you're on top of a mountain, dude.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

You should try. Maybe you'll become all saintly.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Social Democratic Repuplic of New Vinland planning goes on, have no fear.

We've just taken a slight vacation since Bush seems to manage to ruin quite a bit on his own without us stepping in.

[boz4pm.livejournal.com]

*stares in AWE at the LOTR wank* That's just... wow. I just knew LOTR had to have had it's days of wanktacular wankery, and that's just amazingly so. Just this one part as an example: Bit of Earth

Okay, I ask for your top five football players (either on the basis of skill or smexiness - the choice is yours).

[boz4pm.livejournal.com]

My icon says it all.

[peridot-lines.livejournal.com]

But what doesn't have a backstory in CSI fandom these days, huh?

SO true! lol

Those are all awesome smells (bread would probably be on the top of my list)

1. Bunny (with the floppy ears)
2. Dinosaur
3. Moose
4. Dog
5. Homer Simpson (I know he's not technically an animal... but they were still cool)

[canadian-kazz.livejournal.com]

I'm ticked off at that site too. It's absurd! Their minds are as closed as a water-tight seal. You can have faith and not be a Christian, for crying out loud.

*hobbles off to the wankshelter*

While I'm here, misscam, give me your top five fave. animals.

[wiccagirl24.livejournal.com]

Nothing you have to worry about, since apparently your country doesn't even exist.

I looked up abortion. There's a perverted article. Its main argument against abortions (beside the inherint evilness of the act) is that having an abortion raises your chance at breast cancer. Huh?!?!?

According to wikipedia, conservapedia was started by the son of Phyllis Schlafly, who opposes feminism, the ERA, gay marrige, abortion, the democratic party... that certainly explains some things.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. You can spend a whole day reading all that wank and still boggle.

1. Morten Gamst Pedersen.
2. Fredrik Ljungberg.
3. Fernardo Torres.
4. Kristoffer Hærstad.
5. Nuno Gomez.

That's the sex talking.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yay moose. I used to have moose slippers. Wonder where they went?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Of course we don't. We're a succesful social democracy. That surely cannot exist at all. Too bad that if we don't exist, neither does out oil. Ooops.

Ew, now you made me look at it. And WTF? That's the first I've heard of the breast cancer thing. I mean, I can certainly understand why some people are uneasy about abortion and presenting those views in a sane way is fine, but that's... Well, not it.

Sounds like a right splendid fellow.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

What would you like to drink?

1. Cat.
2. Moose.
3. Taipan.
4. Shark.
5. Squirrel.

[littlezink.livejournal.com]

Yes, because only conservatives are acting in the best interest of America. Glad to be set straight on that....

The sad part is that while I consider myself conservative, it appears more and more that I am apparently a godless, liberal, gay-lovin' heathen. Who knew?

Top 5 cartoons.

[cincoflex.livejournal.com]

heh, I was more interested in the wank a few pages LATER, myself. Tempted to make popcorn and just read through the blistered posts . . .

Top Five hairstyles for women, please!

[grimorie.livejournal.com]

Here via friends' friends.

Little Red Riding Hood. Big bad time in the clothes of grandma TARDIS. Maybe a prince, just without a kingdom. Certainly ever after. But this isn't a fairytale. This is a price to pay.

Oh, this sounds like a lovely premise, there isn't enough dark Rose stories...

[herbgurl82.livejournal.com]

Holy Odin's eye, VictoriaBitter returns! OMG. Blast from wanky, wanky LotR past. I was vaguely around for some of this, though it's not the LotR wank I remember the best.

Oh my dear lord. *gets out popcorn and coke, and settles in a nice comfy chair for impending wank-fest*
Someone should totally write up a drinking game based on this whole wank.
(I wish I hadn't given up Bailey's for Lent, or I would do it...)
