On spoilery, snoggery, wankery and Hardcore Creationism Is Dumb as Phelps for 1000

[misscam]

Argh, why is LJ eating my comment notifications and how long have they? Or is my gmail being faulty? Blah. Well, if I haven't replied to something you thought I should, I might not have seen it at all. Sorry!

When poking around for some spoilery X-Files photo, I found this rather wankalicious debate over spoilery icons. Serious business, as you all know. Also, be warned spoilery set photos are posted. (Wants precious, wants!)

Did rather make me wonder what would happen if set photos of snogging in the upcoming serious four of Doctor Who got leaked and then iconized everywhere. I suspect wank would happen, especially if the Doctor shared willingly tongue with anyone involved in current ship arguments.

Which also reminded me I'm actually not excited about series four - not because I won't like the episodes, which I think I will on the whole, but because series four is just subtitled 'Licence to Wank' in my head. Seriously. Given spoilers I've read, there's bound to be blow-up somewhere.

Might need Pornathons to distract us all. Or Orgython. Er, something like that.

In that vein - the tale of the cricketer that rugby-tackled the streaker. Something about that story just cracks me the hell up. Could be the pictures of the cricket-gearup so intimate with nakedness. Quick, someone write me porn with cricket clothes!

Also happening in Australia - Swede jailed for hitman plot - but gets huge discount for assisting police. I'm not sure if I want to pity her or smack her.

I'll take Hardcore Creatisionism Is Dumb as Phelps for 1000, please Alex:
I believe in my heart that dinos and man where here together. It is because of evidence that I have studied leads me to this belief. I believe man saw dinos becasue one of them wrote about them, Job.

The bonus debate about whether one dinosaur was a 'fire-breathing dragon' is also gold. But give it up for Alex the Catholic:
Anyone who believes dinosaurs co-existed is in some sort of serious denial. I am a Catholic who believes in divine inspiration when it comes to evolution, but to believe dinosaurs and man existed together is to totally ignore logic itself. Dinosaur bones are not bones in themselves. They are rock, where mineral has replaced the calcium of dinosaur bones. Therefore, they can be carbon dated to an exact time and place, which happens to be 65 million years ago. It doesn't matter if there is theory surrounding much of the dinosaurs life and death. When they lived and died is certain. In other words, if you believe dinosaurs and man co-existed, you are a moron.

Sanity is such a turn-on.

Mmm.

Meanwhile, life in Norway:
- A movie about Nazi!zombies are being made with a state grant. Bwhahaha.
- Gender-neutral marriage law shall be introduced next week. Which means gay marriage will finally be legally so and not known as 'partnership' any more.
- WW2 warship found in Narvik. Nice touch to have a service for it.
- Football starts in a month. This is very important. Meanwhile, I play football on Facebook. Huzzah.

YAY WEEKEND.

the tale of the cricketer that rugby-tackled the streaker.

Andrew Symonds is a scary guy. I think it's the dreadlocks, myself.

YAYZ weekend!!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Bit hard to say how he looks with all those pads on. But clearly, he's a fast bum tackler.

ALL REJOICE!

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

Does this help?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

OMG WHITE LIPS.

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

IT JUST ADDS TO THE SCARY!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

AAAAUUUGH AAAAUUUGH CRICKET!ZOMBIE

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

NAKED-TACKLING CRICKET!ZOMBIE WITH DREADS! QUICK, WHERE'S THE CHAINSAW??

[misscam.livejournal.com]

HE ATE IT. WE'RE DOOMED TO DEATH BY WICKET WHACKING AAAAAAUUUUUGH!

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Quick, someone write me porn with cricket clothes!

So, I'm guessing you want Fifth Doctor fic.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

That's more lotus79's thing. I just got bemused by the image and the possibility of wicket puns. Doesn't have to be DW fandom at all.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Well, my first thoughts were either that or cricketer!RPS.

And I'd much prefer to see Fifth Doctor fic.

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

Me too. Now, how to get ppl to write me some?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Cricketer!RPS would be all Greek to me since I don't follow cricket and know eff all about cricketers.

Guess that leaves me with Five, then.

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

That so didn't occur to me... *ponders*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Your mind is not filthy enough yet...

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

alas and alack.

Fiveporn would help though, ys.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Are you looking at me? I got too much to do levelling my feral druid!

Also, only way I'd write Five and cricket would be as a part of a multi-era the-Doctor-shags-people-via-sports-metaphores. So there.

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

So? I am levelling my elemental shaman. 49 going on 50.

Also, only way I'd write Five and cricket would be as a part of a multi-era the-Doctor-shags-people-via-sports-metaphores. So there.

I could live with that. *waits expectantly*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I ain't seeing you write fic at the same time. Write shaman write!

I'm doomed myself to write that now, haven't I?

[greyladybast.livejournal.com]

Yep!

[peridot-lines.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking notifications are slow for some reason. I had someone reply to a post yesterday morning and the comment didn't show up at my gmail account until after midnight last night. Hopefully they're fixing the lag, because it's a little strange.

I swear, people mention Dr. Who, and the only thing I think now is "wank!" But I still love watching it, I guess I'll just never do anything major within the fandom.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Notifications on the fic I posted yesterday were all odd too. I don't know what is going on, but it annoys me. probably means I'm a LJ addict. Oh noes.

The mass anon fights are probably responsible for that - people not so keen on wanking under their own name, I guess.

[kittycatness.livejournal.com]

There's a (very nice, overall) guy in my marine bio class who refuses to even consider the possibility that Man evolved, describing himself as a "Creationist". His excuse is his "Christianity".
The first time he and I got into it about it, I pulled out Intelligent Design/Divine Inspiration and pwned his moronic behind.

But people will believe anything if it fits in with their pre-conceived, half-baked notion of how the universe works.
If people want to believe that dinosaurs and modern man existed at the same time, they have every right to that belief. But those of us who actually know and understand (even in a general sort of way) the theory of evolution have every right to attempt to educate those less-fortunate in that department.



Wank would happen if blurry photos with the general shape of anything fandom-y surfaced.
It's the nature of evil, wank, and fandom.


How is life in Cam-land?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

If he's in any sort of biology class at all, how can he believe humans didn't evolve? That's just baffling.

Yeah - in the link above there's a guy that keeps arguing for his fire-breathing dino just because it fits with an image he has in his head. No matter how many flaws in his argument people point out, he just keeps going. It's like Energizer!bunny!delusions. I'm impressed, in a very sad sort of way. Seriously, if you believe the Earth is 6000 years old, you're off your rocket. It's not just evolution that you'll have to disbelieve - astronomy, geology, fossils, oil, carbon-dating, a whole truckload of things modern life is based on.

Life's its normal, somewhat-busy self, really. Enjoying that spring is happening soon and all. You?

[kittycatness.livejournal.com]

I honestly have no idea whatsoever.
If he had any idea, I'm sure that he'd be using that as part of his defence.

You've kind of got to respect the fact that he's so adamant, though, in his fire-breathing delusions. And you're right that you'd have to disbelieve all of those constants of modern life. I mean... if they're using the argument that God/[insert higher power] created everything in six days, that argument can be easily side-stepped by saying that one day for Him may actually have been thousands of human years.
So it's all in what you believe, what you're willing to believe, and what you're willing to call batshit on.

Are you tired of the cold, then?

Life here is excessively-hot and slightly frustrating. But pressure is good every once in a while. Kind of excited for football (and the geekery that I may participate in with a very good-looking guy).
Nothing unusual. :)

I have made myself not care about S4 due to the wank it is likely to cause no matter what. If I expect nothing I'd like then I will be over-joyed if it contains stuff I don't hate. Donna who? Never heard of her. Then I can catch up afterwards already knowing what bits to skip. I was burned by S3 and have vowed not to let it do that to me again.

I think it's going to go too far for some people and not enough for others, possibly leading to some vast rebellion against Rusty for Cheating Us Out Of The Promised Wedding And Timebabies.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

If RTD bugs up Norwegian again, I'll wank him with Norwegian trolls and a moose. DON'T MESS WITH ME MOTHERTONGUE.

Series four can't possibly please everyone either way, so you're probably right there will be displeased from either side.

But yay Agatha Christie.

[nostalgia-lj.livejournal.com]

I think it reasonable to be bitter about the bad Norwegian, as I am STILL VERY MUCH BITTER that Tennant wasn't allowed to use his real accent. Grr!

I tried to go off Martha and managed until she was hawt win in Torchwood, so I fear that I may get dragged into S4 by LOLs or the Tennant/Tate chemistry. But from the looks of things everyone's going to feel let down by the Doctor not kissing Martha's feet or marrying Rose or something along those lines.

[neadods.livejournal.com]

everyone's going to feel let down by the Doctor not kissing Martha's feet

Dunno... I think the Doctor made it up to Martha rather well by pointing her to UNIT. He gave her a good career, with people he trusts, who are competent. That he gave her the chance to live well on Earth and essentially warned UNIT that she's awesomesauce and he's taking a personal interest makes up in my mind for not going all shippy over her. Not only makes it up, but is preferable - it's treating her as a competent career woman.

[nostalgia-lj.livejournal.com]

She's got probably the best job of all the recent companions, and it proved the Doctor's thought of her once she's out the door. I a bit fear Martha having to be all subservient about her feelings and laughing off any suggestion of poor treatment, though.

[neadods.livejournal.com]

I don't know; her exit was her calling him on his poor treatment. So I hope that she'll make a point of asking if things are going to be different when he shows back up.

[fannishnonsense]

Yeah, I agree with this. UNIT > shippiness any day.

[colorstoobright.livejournal.com]

Loooooool, I saw that X-Files thingy and I'm not even in that fandom. It was fun!

LJ is being a loser again and not sending notifications on time. Again. But I think it's working just fine now.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

The Not Getting It was strong in that girl. Then again, so was the Moral Indignation in those arguing with her. Much to giggle at. More to come as the movie approaches, no doubt. (I'm too scared to go into that fandom, even if I loved the show. Eeek.)

Seems to be working for this entry - hurrah!

[colorstoobright.livejournal.com]

More to come as the movie approaches, no doubt.
I'm definitely sure it's going to get much, much worse as the movie inches closer. Fandom Goes Wild v23589546!

Therefore, they can be carbon dated to an exact time and place, which happens to be 65 million years ago.

Well, overall, it's not bad for the average non-paleontology geek, but carbon-14 dating only goes back to about 40,000 years or so. Thus, it's useless for dating dinosaur bones. There are other isotope methods that do apply to the Mesozoic, and we use those instead (as well as geological dating, obviously).

You know, I read the streaker story and thought of you. :-)

Gender-neutral marriage law shall be introduced next week. Which means gay marriage will finally be legally so and not known as 'partnership' any more.

*wild applause*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I was too happy he was being sane about dinosaurs to pick at him - he probably got the carbon-dating from American movies, where they often carbon-date things millions of years old.

I'm feeling good about that too - though we did legalize it under another name, we did miss that last step. Now you'll have the same adoption rights too, whether you marry the opposite gender or the same one.

Personally I try to stay as far away from spoiler stuff as possible (though the less I care the more I don't mind being spoiler) but I have come to accept the fact that this is the internet and if I want to participate in fandom I will inevitably be spoiled to some extent. Ppl will use spoilery icons, fic will slip by without proper warnings, etc. there will be wank. Generally both sides just need to calm the F down. ;-)

I'm curious about S4 of Who, though not quite looking forward to it yet. Right now I'm enjoying the much improved Torchwood crack and anxiously awaiting the final season of BSG.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

It is quite hard to stay unspoiled in this day and Internet, yes. But it is totally uncool to be purposely dickish about it.

Calm is so unloved in fandom.

New trailers and pictures will probably raise the fannish glee a bit, I suspect. But feels a bit early yet. Sadly, no Torchwood for me. Doesn't quite do it for me, but I shall soon have my football.

[phdelicious.livejournal.com]

But it is totally uncool to be purposely dickish about it.

I completely agree.

[rivrea.livejournal.com]

My comment notifications are a bit wonky, too. It must be a glitch on LJ's servers.

And I find myself curiously indifferent with regard to the X-Files sequel. After seasons 7-9 and the most boring show finale ever, I simply can't bring myself to care anymore. I would indeed like to rewatch some old episodes I really loved, but my only hint at some positive thought about the upcoming movie was, "wait, isn't Callum Keith Rennie supposed to be in it? Might be worth a look after all." -- You really know you've lost all fannish glee if your latest crush on an obscure Canadian actor is the sole aspect to marginally raise you interest.

[everywhereto-me.livejournal.com]

Mmm wank. Tasty. *snort*

Yay for gay marriage! That's so awesome.

[jessickuh.livejournal.com]

OUCH...I *headdesked* myself so hard after reading the x-files icon entries. I think...yep, that's gonna leave a bruise.

Heja Norge!
