    Hollywood ran out of Arabic looking actors to play bad guys. We're going back to Russkie/Soviet Bloc villains.

With fake Russian accents or uncharacteristic British accents?

[Robert Ghostwolf's Ghost]

Yep these are all good, thanks - mine was a bit over the top I guess:  Lord Emperor Zeebo of the Cosmos.

Zeebo the Great and Terrible.

Pay no attention to the winsome little pointy-faced squirrel behind the curtain!

Yes, yes ... move along, nothing to see here.  <cue scary light show, thunder sounds>

     Depends on their level of evil.

[Robert Ghostwolf's Ghost]

The Great and Teriblei Inspector Zeebo of The Yard is very young, very bold, and uncommonly intelligent.  You should be proud!

Is Jeremy Irons still alive?

[Eddie Coyle]

Is Jeremy Irons still alive?

   Yes...until he flies Malaysian Airlines. We're all alive until we fly that airline.

[RealCool Daddio]

   Yes...until he flies Malaysian Airlines. We're all alive until we fly that airline.

They are the Spinal Tap drummers of the airline industry.

[jazmunda]

   Yes...until he flies Malaysian Airlines. We're all alive until we fly that airline.

I'm not even eating Malaysian food anymore. That how hardcore my will to live is.

[Heather Wade]

Then you will all want to start spelling it correctly then...

el JEFE, not el hefe

Damn, I could have just walked outside and asked one of my neighbors how to spell it.  I'm slacking.

Speaking of things that annoy:  some asshole on hulu has stolen my name and created a show titled Redacted Tonight.
Pfffsh, they didn't even ask.  How dare they? 

They are the Spinal Tap drummers of the airline industry.

  That is going to have me laughing all day.  If someone asks me what I'm laughing about, I'll never be able to explain it.

Local NPR douche bag - "Get used to the rain. It doesn't look like we're gonna see the sun for several days."

Really? Does that mean it won't be 99 degrees in the shade?

How dare he editorialize about the weather without consulting me!

[Little Hater]

I'll gladly vote for any politician who can air a single TV ad which doesn't use the word 'family'. Pander to someone else, bitches.

but did he talk/whisper that comment in that NPR-patented speech pattern?

haha. No, he just sounded all bummed out cause he couldn't go outside and play.

Well, let's see,  it's Saturday...  July...  9 PM...  *shakes head*
and nothing annoys me!  This is a very unusual turn of events.

Oh well,  I'll be back in half an hour.  I'm sure something will show up.

I get annoyed every day that different brands of TVs, DVD players, etc. remote controllers don't all use the same codes. And that there isn't a really good universal remote.   
.... Same thing with house and car keys, it needn't be so darn confusing.
If I ran things dagnabit, everything would work with only one personalized key and one universal remote.

I share your frustration, and admire your fierce desire to eliminate those needless annoyances to our valuable leisure time so we can enjoy it to its fullest, so I'm all in favor of you running that particular part of things.  However, that's as far as I'm willing to go until I know more about you.  Am I right, ladies?

I'm alarmed that you of all people will be party to this conspiracy to eliminate R/F diversity. Won't anyone tbink of the wave lengths?

That's just ... what? The nerve.  And I bet they didn't even have the decency to include the parentheses.

I'm surprised that you chose to make this your fight, Yorkie. A universal remote would only make life considerably less strenuous for those who desire nothing more than to be entertained in a way that lets them be as sedentary as possible while consuming massive quantities of everything that results in morbid obesity, diabetes, and a cirrhotic liver the size of a prize cantaloupe. How can you possibly be against that?  Save your energy and righteous indignation for the things that really matter.  Seriously.

Sir!! You astound me! Have you not envisaged the lines of redundant frequencies at the dole office? Cast asunder by the selfish, YES selfish! Those who care nothing about the destitution of poor forgotten frequencies who, through no fault of their own find themselves without function. All because the perception of morbid obesity, piss stained furniture, stale sweaty and lice infested sweat pants with 'Babe' or 'Hunk' printed on the chest, and the obsession with re-runs of Jerry Springer, Ricky Lake et al were seen as more important. Shame on you. Furthermore it's also... (cont pp94)

[MV/Liberace!]

Hope you don't mind, but too bad if you do because you're powerless to stop me. 

heh heh this made me ell oh elle.

Agreed.

You had me at "piss stained furniture."  I love it when you talk like that.

(Okay, I'm going to partially resend an earlier edict of mine: I had declared a ban on the use of the words "actually" and"basically". People may now use those two words once per conversation. Twice if you feel it's an emergency.

However, there is still a ban on "it is what it is".

Two phrases I am adding  to the ban are "go ahead and" and "proceed to". So rather than say, "I'm going to go ahead and fix the flat," just say, "I'm going to fix the flat."similarly, rather than say, quote she then proceeded to go into the kitchen to get her crack pipe," just say, "she went into the kitchen to get her crack pipe."))
