WHEEEEEE KRISPY KREMES! SURRRRRGE!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I made the icon just for the occasion. For those of you who have long wondered about my ethnic makeup (SUCH! BURNING! QUESTIONS!), I am your standard white Southerner mutt mix of Scottish, Irish, and English with a dash of French and German. There's some Dutch on the other side the family, but I think they married in.

No, I am not wearing green. If you pinch me I will SHANK YOU.

I had some Very Important Links for you, but Semagic crashed and I lost them, so I'll have to go hunt them down again. Fnarrr.

GoPets update: I cannae make the client work. I want a kitty! Woe. Nonetheless, until the particular bug affecting me is worked out, it's probably for the best, as I don't need help procrastinating just this second. Meanwhile, there's still the Friendster-style applications of the site, and I'll friend anyone who sends over a request. Re: another question, Erin also says that Mac and Linux clients are on the way, and in the meantime, there's also gopets, where she's gopets_erin, if you need help.

(I enjoyed this from the comments on the last entry: "I have joined and am the proud owner of a wee red kitty girl called Paddington. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with her though, and just now a pink & teal doggeh came walking onto my screen and growled at me. O_o Heh.")

Best! Virtual Pets! Ever!: GoPets aren't content to hang out on their owners' desktops, however. They freely roam the net, visiting other owners and making friends along the way. In their travels, GoPets establish and strengthen social networks among Owners, bringing together people with similar interests. Of course, while delivering messages between Owners, they do a bit of personal networking on the side -- you may notice that your GoPet seems to spend a lot of time with one particular feline friend. Break out the cigars -- there may be baby GoPets in your future!

Wonder Whedon!

STAB.

Interesting dish on Aarongate at TWOP (cannot vouch for its truthfulness, however).

So THAT'S where the icon of the cartoon lion chewing on the giraffe leg comes from!

The Onion: Corpse of Real Michael Jackson Found at Neverland Ranch.

Everything Is Illuminated.

Sin City: a near-religious experience. (Mild spoilers.) The reviewer gives it only "nine and a half out of ten stars" because 1) "Michael Madsen is kinda wasted" and Jessica Alba, of all the women in the movie, won't get naked. Of course, these are the people who also said that The Matrix Reloaded would, and this is a rough paraphrase, make you come until you couldn't come no more, and... not so much with that, no.

Back to the comedy mines it is, heigh ho.

Speaking of special icons ...

*pinches Cleo!*

You don't like living, do you?

[lezopez.livejournal.com]

OH I love that Elijah Wood poster!

I too cannot make GoPets work. I download it but then it tells me that some folder cannot support it or some crap. I'm not sure if its a problem on my part of GoPets, but I hope its theirs:-(

.. I just spent a good two minutes trying to figure out what "STAB" was an anagram for.

I blame it on fandom.

[particle-person.livejournal.com]

STAB = BATS = TABS = BAST

[arayuldaiel.livejournal.com]

Um, I was going to comment about something, but then my brain went to mush at the words 'Krispy Kreme'. Waaaaant.

[annapiranha.livejournal.com]

Dear God, I hope they let Wonder Woman have a stake.

[robot-sarah.livejournal.com]

I... somehow forgot that it was St. Patrick's Day, but at the same time I knew the whole time (google.com threw me a subtle hint). Perhaps I should throw on SOMETHING with green before anyone gets home... but, then again, a green Sharpie should work just as well..

I am rambling.

Yay for the Kenya animation! It is one of my favorites. I blast it all the time and torture my family with it..

[sapphires13.livejournal.com]

Kenya can't beat the Badgers!

Badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, MUSHROOM MUSHROOM, Badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, A SNAKE A SNAKE! SNAKE! SNAKE! IT'S A SNAKE!

I even learned how to say it in Maltese. Gurdien, gurdien, gurdien, (etc.) FUNGI FUNGI, gurdien, gurien, gurdien, A SERP! A SERP!


By the way, I'm a white southern mix of Irish, Spanish, French, German, English, and Welsh. In that order. No one believes me when I have any Spanish blood though, because I'm really white and I have green eyes.

[nore-fortuna.livejournal.com]

You sound as mixed as I am. I'm German, British, Polish, Danish, & Irish. Quite a mutt but proud of it!

[mandy0x.livejournal.com]

i can't beat that. :shrugs:
irish, russian, finnish, ukranian.

[someway.livejournal.com]

Forgive me for asking, but did you make that icon by hand? (I love it.)

~Sar

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Oh, good Lord no--I can't draw freehand like *that.* You can make them at avatar.yahoo.com. : )

[girlfrom10thave.livejournal.com]

*moves to pinch cleolinda*
*decides she'd rather not be shanked*
*hands cleolinda a pint of green beer instead*

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Wise move, young padawan.

[practicesmiling.livejournal.com]

What in the hell is the deal with the pinching? Is this a southern thing? My students were doing to each other all day today and I thought I would lose my mind.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I don't know, but you either wear green or you watch your back where I'm from.

[kokopellinelli]

Corpse of Real Michael Jackson Found at Neverland Ranch.

That article explains SO MUCH.

[blackdiamants.livejournal.com]

I am the same Southern mutt mix as you, luv. My accent is becoming more and more pronounced, and I blame Saywer. Damn him and his irresistable accent. _{And dimples.}

[arkaina.livejournal.com]

I wish my flash skills were as 1337 as the Lions in Kenya animation, I just can't get that same effect ;_;

Oh and Cleo, I wanted to show you a Lost related animation I'm working on. I'm kinda bogged down at the momment with another movie, but I plan to have this done by the end of this month. What do ya think?

Lost Mini Movie (http://www.sheezyart.com/view/345625/)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hee! I dig Hapless!Boone. : )

[candidlily.livejournal.com]

ONLY IN KENYA!!!!

[museofswearing.livejournal.com]

That EII poster looks reallllly Burton, don't it?

...I love it. I cannot wait for this film to come out.

[lederhosen.livejournal.com]

Ah, Wonder Woman. Introducing bondage, spanking, and female domination to impressionable minds since 1941. I still don't understand quite how Moulton/Marston got away with it :-)

[elbiesee.livejournal.com]

If you're a wee bit Irish on St. Patty's day, wearing green is optional, since you've got some green blood in ya. If you get pinched, that gives you free reign to go leprechaun on their ass.

Can't wait to see Sin City.

OT: Wine in a box is nice.

[vampychick.livejournal.com]

You just hit one of my pet peeves. It's supposed to be 'free rein'. Like with a horse. You give the horse free rein, and it can do whatever it pleases.

[starr234.livejournal.com]

holy crap. lions!

[ccaretta.livejournal.com]

Free snorkel with every visit!

[squee1123.livejournal.com]

....if Sin City is R...which it probably is because i have NO luck when it comes to these things...im dragging my friend and her boyfriend to go with me becaus ehe'll be old enough to get me in...and i neeeeeeds it...

[alleycatfish.livejournal.com]

I can't play it either on my computer. I get some random error :(

I can play it on my brother's computer though. So much fun!

[melody2tds.livejournal.com]

there are several small, strangely colored animals populating my screen at the moment. I blame you entirely. ;D

I also managed to replicate my siamese Luna almost perfectly. She's awfully cute.

[tabbyclaw.livejournal.com]

I'm very, very surprised that you hadn't seen the Kenya animation yet.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I know, dude. I'd seen the icons all over the place for forever.

[lilnik.livejournal.com]

I just found that Kenya animation too! I've been seeing the icons around, and wondering where they came from.

[ktnb]

Sigh. I can't get the install program to work either. :(

[zhai.livejournal.com]

I'll help you out if I can, or put you in touch with our uber tech guy. =) Can you describe the error that you're getting? =) I'm answering questions over on gopets, too. =)

[particle-person.livejournal.com]

So THAT'S where the icon of the cartoon lion chewing on the giraffe leg comes from!

That's how I felt when I learned that part of the famous "hamster dance" song is from Disney's Robin Hood (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070608/trivia).

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD IT IS, ISN'T IT?

Whoa. I think another piece of the universe just fell into place for me.
