Announcement the Second

[active_apathy]

At about 4:00PM AEST today, daphyn became Equal Most Awesomest Person Ever, and a second recipient of the Official *Hugs*. Should you see daphyn, you should give her hugs, or tasty fruity things like black cherries and fresh raspberries - concurrently or consecutively. If you see both daphyn and lesslikeyou in the same spot, then you should hug both repeatedly, surrender any cookies and tasty fruity things you may be carrying, and abduct Chen (as seen in icon) to make inventive desserts for them.

Today sees a further encore of the Xander Snoopydance, likely followed by excitement, jubilation and faint lightheadedness. There may be a presentation of Gold Stars of Awesomeniftyness once I come to.

In other (not-as-important) news, there was a leaflet delivered today advertising a range of short skills courses. One of them was a $130 six-week course on LiveJournal. Let me repeat that: a six-week course on LJ. I think the first week covers posting and commenting, and then there's modules for all the important things - Friending, Flaming, Angsty Poetry, Slash and Wank. At the end there's a short exam, kinda like:

1. my hed is ________ on yay:
   1. postede
   2. pasted
   3. pastede
   4. slashede
2. ___ racecar bling bling:
   1. OMG
   2. ZOMG
   3. OMGWTFBBQ
   4. LOL
3. Wank is to fandom as slash is to:
   1. Star Wars
   2. The Johns
   3. HP
   4. All of the above
4. Cut for:
   1. offensiveness
   2. sex
   3. swearing
   4. more comments
5. The pencil is:
   1. orange
   2. grey
   3. blue
   4. There is no pencil

Um... ok?

Remember the last one's a trick question; the correct answer is the fandom reference. :)

haha yes that last one made me laugh :) I think nobody'll guess that one, though. People around me are not into fandom enough :(

If someone doesn't recognise the phrase "There is no _____", then their movie education is sadly lacking.

That said, there's no need to horrify them with the sequels.

The day i encountered a man who didn't know Yoda (he was a student, for crying out loud), i stopped making movie references. It felt like there was something completely wrong with the world :S

Translated: OMGWTF*headdesk*

How he not Yoda could know, can I understand not. Does he at least know a sketch from the Holy Grail? Has he heard of Statler and Waldorf? Does he know what C is for?

He must be educated.

He shall be whipped into whisdom. He shall suffer, but know all movies in existence once i'm done with him (even the french filmes noires). *grin*

After the yoda incident i tried to keep things easy, and revered to something of the 'wild boys' on mtv, which had been repeated like 1000 times, but he didn't know that either...like where have you lived the last 30 years? 0_o
