Pimp requests:

From kira002: "If you're still taking requests for posting things, would you give a mention to the Crusade for Charity? We're running a raffle with some pretty great prizes (signed Kingdom of Heaven poster; two of the bags that FOX gave out at the junket, and lots more); proceeds go to Doctors Without Borders, earmarked for their relief efforts in the Sudan."

From sapphires13: "I wonder if you've heard, ABC is showing Chamber of Secrets on May 7th, sprinkled in with the commercials will be sneak peeks at Goblet of Fire."

Help slacker1985 with character names for her book.

The 213 Things Skippy is No Longer Allowed to do in the Army

7. Not allowed to add “In accordance with the prophesy” to the end of answers I give to a question an officer asks me.
10. Not allowed to purchase anyone's soul on government time.
66. There is no “Anti-Mime” campaign in Bosnia.
73. No military functions are to be performed “Skyclad”.
116. Crucifying mice - bad idea.
155. Teaching Albanian children to taunt other soldiers is not nice.
164. There is no such thing as a were-virgin.
167. Not allowed to operate a business out of the barracks.
168. Especially not a pornographic movie studio.
169. Not even if they *are* “especially patriotic films”
179. On Army documents, my race is not “Other”.
180. Nor is it “Secretariat, in the third”.
200. My chain of command is not interested in why I “just happen” to have a kilt, an inflatable sheep, and a box of rubber bands in the back of my car.

Spinning wheels on Independence Day. Dammit. And I still have to watch The King and I for class tomorrow, too. Gladiator, however, is officially turned in and off my hands as of this past Friday.

Yey! I like the skyclad reference there. *dances skyclad*

[yarha.livejournal.com]

I once danced skyclad, but the clouds wouldn't stay in the right place.

I like #77:

"The MP checkpoint is not an Imperial Stormtrooper roadblock, so I should not tell them `You don't need to see my identification, these are not the droids you are looking for.'"

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I wonder if he did the little hand-wave? Because it's the little hand-wave that makes it.

[kira002.livejournal.com]

*MMMMM-WAH*

Thank you for the linkage. And congrats on fininshing Gladiator. Now, where is your ID4 icon? And please tell me you will be snarking the fact that it's called 'ID4'.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

You mean the icon on the entry?

(Actually, I loathe "ID4" so much that I can't even bring myself to mention it. The closest I got was the subheading, "Name Your Film After a Holiday, And It Will Be Televised Yearly Without Fail.")

[vampychick.livejournal.com]

Wait, did you just now find Skippy's list?

What are you, new?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, pretty much.

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

Dude, I saw the shots of Brandon Routh yesterday and FREAKED OUT. And then I showed them to my boyfriend, who in turn, FREAKED OUT.

I swear, it's like they cloned Christopher Reeve and just never told anybody. JESUS.

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

Man, Grand Theft Auto: Sin City could have been a good one, dammit! But the Amélie one was nice.

That Skippy thing is hilarious. I forget when I came across it, but it's good stuff.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

You know, it wasn't like I didn't know Brandon Routh could do a fine Christopher-Reeve-as-Clark-Kent, because when he got signed, they had Halloween pictures of him in that costume on his official website a while back that were freaky enough. But, that? WOW.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Is that not FREAKISH?

Bosworth looks awful as Lois, though. Even though I am relieved they made her go brunette, because a blonde Lois is UNTHINKABLE.

[silversyren.livejournal.com]

*spits water everywhere upong seeing "muggle city".*

[modpixie.livejournal.com]

i was away for part of the weekend and missed this. am trying to find the rules for big pimpin'. if you're still doing it...

i'm making a movie (http://www.pixievision.com) based on "tam lin" (http://www.tam-lin.org) and set in the 1920s. in order to raise money, i've put an excerpt from it (http://www.archive.org/movies/details-db.php?collection=opensource_movies&collectionid=unhappymedium) online, and if your readership wishes they can donate a few dollars. (of course, i'd also love for people to review the film at archive.org and link to it.) i hope to go into production this summer, so wish me luck. :)

if you're not pimping, i apologise and will go back into my hideyhole.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Oooo, that's really cool. I actually have a character named Tam Lin in the fantasy thing I've been working on for years--it started off as being based on the ballad, but gradually drifted away from that. Still, it's one of those things I'm always interested in. : )

[glimmer-glass.livejournal.com]

And I still have to watch The King and I for class tomorrow, too.

Hardly what I'd call an unpleasant experience. Then again, I am slightly obsessed with Yul Brynner.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love the movie. I just need to know where I can purchase an additional 12 hours for my day anyway.

[lezopez.livejournal.com]

My favorites were the gum:

33. Not allowed to chew gum at formation, unless I brought enough for everybody.

34. (Next day) Not allowed to chew gum at formation even if I *did* bring enough for everybody.

Hee! (And I feel like a loser. I had never read it before)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Oh, I loved the gum too. I'd never seen it before, either--just today on SF for the first time.

[shimmeryelf.livejournal.com]

"The 213 Things Skippy is No Longer Allowed to do in the Army" is amazing. I had seen it before and thought it was hilarious.

[pigsnicket.livejournal.com]

Ahhh! That Muggle City pictures kills me, KILLS ME!

[tundraeternal.livejournal.com]

Brandon Routh IS Clark Kent. Y'all, this is just freaky.

Holy son of a motherless goat! That is WEIRD!

[lylassandra.livejournal.com]

Showing Skippy's list to my 89-year-old, retired Navy Captain stepgrandfather would probably be a bad idea, huh?

[ferelwing.livejournal.com]

My retired colonel grandfather loved it *grin*.

[slacker1985.livejournal.com]

*squeals* Ooohhhh, so excited for May 7th!!! :-)

And this Brandon Routh is AMAZING!! Here's echoing the sentiment that he can act.

[soleta-nf.livejournal.com]

The Muggle City pic just made me DIE!

[particle-person.livejournal.com]

Spinning wheels on Independence Day.

*turbocharge*

[particle-person.livejournal.com]

I should turbocharge myself too. I have a homework that was due, oh, a week ago and I'm still working on it. My professor just emailed asking where it is. Now I'm going to have to work half the night to finish the damn thing. Woe.

[plazmah.livejournal.com]

LOL, the Muggle City thing is hilarious!

104. Vodka, green food coloring, and a “Cool Mint” Listerine® bottle is not a good combination.

Hmm, interesting... this may come in use next April 1st ;)

[shesnotallthere.livejournal.com]

Did it. Was funny.

Got the bottle dumped over my head in relatiation. Not so much with the funny.

[punkiejeannien.livejournal.com]

heehee, i like the new icon :o)

[allova.livejournal.com]

Are you only pimping requests that have some semblance of sanity? Because if not, I'd like to put our 'Darth Vader for Pope' campaign and petition forward for your consideration, in the vague hope that the idea will appeal to your sense of humour and thus be worthy of pimpage.

If it appeals, I will give you the links for it. If not, then I thank you for your time anyway and wish you luck for the M15M book :)

We run the campaign with no malicious intent towards Catholics, merely with extreme Star Wars geekdom. Our theory is that he looks good with the Pope hat ^_^

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I think I'll declare this Pimp Amnesty week and allow it. : )

[shesnotallthere.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love Skippy. I've actually made several Skippy-ism t-shirts. My favorite one:

"Claymore mines are not filled with yummy candy, and it is wrong to tell new soldiers that they are."

[cadaver-666.livejournal.com]

185. My name is not a killing word.

My oh goodness, that is one of the funniest Dune references ever. I am highly amused. ;)

[ginmar.livejournal.com]

I think everybody (http://www.livejournal.com/users/ginmar/302248.html) has a list of things they shouldn't do.

I got a medal for swearing fluently, basically. I'm so proud.

[miss-lithi.livejournal.com]

Oh God, the Skippy list, totally forgot about that.

Number 94: "Crucifixes do not ward off officers, and I should not test that."

BWAH!

"66. There is no “Anti-Mime” campaign in Bosnia."

Why not? Mimes are just as deadly. :p

[yarha.livejournal.com]

But not as deadly as memes. :p

Yarha, About to Enlist in the Anti-Meme Campaign!
