It took me a while to hear about the Jon Stewart-Tucker Carlson fracas, but...

STEWART: You know, the interesting thing I have is, you have a responsibility to the public discourse, and you fail miserably.

CARLSON: You need to get a job at a journalism school, I think.

STEWART: You need to go to one.

CARLSON: Wait. I thought you were going to be funny. Come on. Be funny.

STEWART: No. No. I'm not going to be your monkey.

[...]

CARLSON: I do think you're more fun on your show. Just my opinion.

STEWART: You know what's interesting, though? You're as big a dick on your show as you are on any show.

I think I need a cigarette now. *flick* Ahhhhh.


ETA: aprilia27 came through with a video link for us. Both our links have the transcript, but hers may be more accurate, however, given that mine is the crappy CNN insta-transcript.

Stealing this from alpheratz: the "something you own that no one else on your friends list owns" meme, because I haven't memed in a good long time.

A book you own that no one on your friends list does: Just looking at my bookshelf, I am thinking that none of you have Suits Me--I forget the precise subtitle, but it's the true story of Billy Tipton, a jazz musician who married several women and had several adopted children and yet managed to hide until his death the fact that... "he" was a woman.

A CD you own that no one on your friends list does: I am fairly sure none of you own Tish Hinojosa's Aquella Noche, but I could be wrong.

A DVD/VHS tape you own that no one on your friends list does: I would be willing to bet that none of you own The Guns of Religion, a Nun-Clown movie that Eric made, and the prospect of which terrifies me so much I haven't been able to make myself watch it yet.

P.S. Speaking of Eric: He's now at the University of Aberdeen taking a class from... Gilderoy Lockhart.

A place you've been that no one on your friends list has been: I haven't been many places. Havana? On a more local level, I'm willing to bet that most of you have never been to Chewbacca Chewacla State Park.


Another meme I've seen going around: When you see this, post some poetry to your own journal. (PoemHunter.com was very helpful, if you want to use that.)

Two from Philip Larkin, as they're short: ( Read more... )

Pathetic, desperate cybersex-seekers have descended on theferrett's post about strip Candyland, hitting up the women (or in some cases, the "women") for play. The first guy I found, just scanning through it:

"And yes, I can get some kind of mental image of you naked. The question is, would you go into more detail, and do it slowly, alternating with me, as we each remove clothing? I dare you!"

(Oh, well, now that you've questioned her courage, clearly she will fall for it and cyber-strip for you just to show you that she can. Well played, creepy wanker. Well played.)

Girl in question: ""In general, I do not discuss, reminisce, or cyber with unknown people on the Internet. Certainly not anonymous posters."

Guy: "So, if I joined live journal you maybe WOULD play a strip game with me?"

Other guy: "I don't expect you'll reply to this, but I thought I would say a little more about myself. I'm a writer, and..."

(She doesn't care that you're a writer--she doesn't know you, fool.)

Girl gets angry, and is awesome.

Another guy: "Did you end up totally naked? How did you feel about that?"

(And did the lambs ever stop screaming? EWWW, dude.)

Why am I telling you this? Well, in a subsequent entry, Ferrett is giving us "full rein to destroy them." WOOT. The saddest part? This one guy keeps copy-and-pasting the same pickup lines ("Thanks for your reply. I landed on this website the other day when I put "strip games" into a search engine. I have a suggestion: how would you feel about playing a strip game here...?") I suggest that some of you guys with unisex-sounding names grab one of my Heroine Addict icons or something and go over there, because it's the girly icons he hits on, and start telling him about the time you played Strip Jenga. And what happened when you took off your pants. Hell, I'm tempted to start an offensive of my own. C'mon, it'll be fun.
