Savior of the universe!"What do you mean, Flash Gordon approaching?"
If you count Star Wars and LotR trilogies as a single "movie", this rounds out my top five Sci-Fi/Fantasy movies of all time.
Heh. I haven't seen the movie in ages, but the song shuffled up on itunes and I had to find the video. And then I had to share. :D
I like beer.

A Fawlty poem for the Fawtly folks
Alter Ego
by Scott Emmons
I’m fairly decent-mannered. I maintain a civil tone.
I open doors for strangers, I’m respectful on the phone.
I’m polite to clerks and cabbies, but in truth I have to say
That I’ve often dreamed of being Basil Fawlty for a day!A brash and shameless misanthrope, I’d run a shabby inn
Where the guests would all be greeted with a snide, sarcastic grin.
I’d have a filthy moose head out on prominent display
And I’d thumb my nose at everyone as Fawlty for a day!I’d mutter with impatience at my customers’ requests.
I’d imitate the Führer for my special German guests!
I’d smack the clueless waiter when I’d dropped a dinner tray
If I got to live my dream of being Fawlty for a day!I’d be boorish, brusque and arrogant to everyone I met.
To anyone who balked, I’d snap, “I haven’t started yet!”
I’d rail at all humanity, I’d bellow and I’d bray
If I only could be Fawlty for a single bloody day!
Hmmmm, I do have access to a filthy moose head......

I thought I should post this for the benefit those of you not yet part of the collective...er, I mean...those of you who aren't on Facebook:
The following exchange took place during today's game of Pathfinder with my girls:
Daddy (GM): "The evil sorcerer uses his magic staff, and the warrior you just defeated rises as a zombie."
Tatiana: "Oh, this will be easy! Just chop off his head and 'boom', he's dead!"Point of interest: Tatiana is 8 years old and, as far as I know, has never actually seen a zombie apocalypse movie of any kind. I have know idea where she learned that head shots are the most effective way to deal with zombies.
No offense, AZ. ;)
No problem. I think it's important to give you living folk a fighting chance.

Really? I did not care much for it. It also did not age well.
Of course I am the guy who did not like The original Conan with ARRRnold yet that one seems better every time I see it.Of course I can't stand Avatar either.

I knew it! I KNEW IT! Facebook is trying to assimilate us all! I've already sent one my clones into the future to the year 2591, where a man calling himself Jo'z Whed'o'n has proclaimed himself a god and dominated the world entire with his army of Buffy Zealots, Browncoat Elites and Dollhouse secret police, the latter of which it is believed helped their lord take over the world through something very much like Facebook. I can only hope that the information I've given him in our time will help him in that perilous future he faces.
Grad applications are kicking my ass. I also got some strong criticism on my writing samples (which was initially disappointing, but then I realized it's actually what I'm looking for) so I'm revising and revising and revising again.
I really need to do that.
Man, if I did a dance anytime I found naked things on the internet ...
{points webcam at naked Mothman dancing around toasty lightbulb... others will see it and start dancing naked... soon, we will have the Dancing Nakkid Singularity}

Morning all. What did I miss?
How was your concert? Did you go for baroque?

Break a leg!
No, seriously, break a leg.
You'll feel better.
His great-granpappy was Asmodeus' father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate, so he has it coming.
If you don't use your daily smite, it'll be wasted.
C'mon. Look at the way he's dressed... he's just asking for it.
...
Alright, be merciful... see if I care.
He's just gonna go back to saying awful things about Cats. What's one little leg?

Shows what YOU know. I have one of those funky talk and type thingies. So there!
I'm afraid I'll have to sacrifice a clone to replace my eyes...now where did I put that shotgun...
Morning all. What did I miss?How was your concert? Did you go for baroque?
HA! That's punny.

Sometimes you just have to make puns right bach.... Did you go for baroque? ...I'm bizet right now.AUGH, the puns! They burns usssssss!
Okay THAT one was painful.
Did I get him? I need eyes to see stuff not directly attached to this talk n' type thing.
It went well, thanks. When is yours?Morning all. What did I miss?How was your concert? Did you go for baroque?
The concert was yesterday. Rehearsals were great! But the conductor decided to direct the actual concert at approximately half the rehearsal tempo, creating two hours of excruciating, slow-motion boredom. The demons of Bald Mountain were on Thorazine. L'Arlesienne has gone to seed since her delicate girlhood and clomped around the dance floor shedding Twinkie and Ho-Ho wrappers. And Scheherazade saved herself by boring the Sultan into a coma so he never gave the order to behead her. Her sister was collateral damage.
On the 'lame victory' side, we did watch the conductor sufficiently well to handle the new tempi, and nobody exploded from frustration.
<-- Really wishes there was a petition to have "SuperStar" tag stripped from those who troll, because douchebags make Paizo look bad by association.

Easy...easy. Let's not let our tempers get the better of us. I would say the tolerance people on these boards show for those with whom they don't necessarily agree speaks louder and sets the bar higher than our occasional arguments.

Thorazine...
I wish she had recycled the wrappers, but what happened to the ACTUAL Twinkies and Ho-Hos? I need them for my Joss Whedon/Alton Brown Fallout Shelter.

Oh, yuck. Nice description of things, though. :)
My son's concert kinda suffered from the same issue. There was a piece called George Washington Bridge, which made it seem as if the damn bridge was trans-Atlantic. But, i will say the conductor managed to work with the kids well enough so it sounded great, even if things bordered on interminability.

Ugh. Your conductor sounds like a real winner. Some people who conduct really shouldn't - it's hard work. I had a conductor in a musical one time who kept losing his place in the score.

It's been forever since I've been in band, but I remember when that happened in practice a few times. The one kid who spoke up was...ah..made an example of.

He's a sweet guy and a great musician, but probably should have retired a few years ago.

Morning all. What did I miss?
Well, the office was thrown into chaos when an ice cream truck accidently rammed the building, spilling its contents all over and prompting a riot-like feeding frenzy. Meanwhile, across town, Mick and Keith continued to argue over who would get to hold the remote in the nursing home TV room, until Cher decided the matter by changing channels to Lifetime network and then flushing the remote down the toilet. And, in a non-descript building downtown, a new business plan was slowly being organized with the goal of achieving global....No, wait! That's my soap opera.
It's probably the servers crashing due to the hypersonic resonance coming from your dog going "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee..." :)
Thanks for the awesome link you shared on Facebook; it was sheer truth. Color both dogs black and switch the one vomiting and going "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" and you have our household. Oh, and add fear peeing to the stupid dog and destroying paper products to the helper.
EDIT: Helper is lying right behind my chair shredding Kleenex as loudly as she possibly can because she's miffed that I am ignoring her.
