I feel like it's Monday, and now I'll be confused all week

[cleolinda]

Okay, I'm putting this above the cut, because it is one of the greatest things I have ever seen in my entire life, and given some of the things I have linkspammed, that is saying A LOT. Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you: THE BEST FANDOM SECRETS POST EVER. Turn off the internet, y'all. It's time to go home.

Meanwhile, we have more icons, for both "Growing Up Cullen" and the Midnight Sun recap, from incognito323.

(OKAY FIREFOX CAN STOP CRASHING ANY MOMENT NOW.)

Oh, re: JaHurricane: the J storm this year is Josephine, which makes me think of this Josephine. And the hurricane before Josephine? Ike. Looks like someone over at the World Meteorological Organization is a Lemony Snicket fan.

Linkspam!

Which fictional characters do you wish were real? Hmm... I'll have to think about that and get back to you. The funny thing is, though, I immediately start thinking in terms of which characters I'd like to be friends with, not which Hawt Literary Guyz I'd like to nail or anything. Like, I think you could have a pretty fun girls' night in with Anne Shirley, Violet Baudelaire, Jo March and Lyra Belacqua. Maybe Susan Pevensie could do our hair.

I was told to seal this opening so here I am.

(My mother's home sick today, and I came down to check on her and found her watching Jumper. It was about 45 minutes from the end, so I ended up getting sucked into Jamie Bell the fight scenes [y'all, I'm not surprised Samuel L. Jackson still has a hate-on for Hayden Christiansen], and then all of a sudden at the end Christiansen [SPOILER, if you care] goes to see his long-lost mom [my mother swears she only appeared for all of twenty seconds earlier], and she is DIANE LANE, WHAT?, and apparently her daughter [the sister Christiansen never knew?] inherited her Big Name Cameosity, because the daughter opens the door and is like, "Ew, DARTH VADER, what do you WANT?" and Hayden Christiansen's like, "BELLA SWAN? WHERE'S MY MOM?!")

I was thrilled to learn the name of Tropical Storm Ten this morning...my real name is Josephina, so this is the closest I'll probably ever get. :D

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there's a Laura coming up after that, and I'm Lauren. Probably the closest I'll ever get as well.

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

New Dido! I'd been wondering what the hell happened to her. Neat.

That Fandom Secret is pretty awesome.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

See, it's all in the details--you can even see the little "I'd hit it"/"I ship it" cards on the map when they're just in the background. Also, I've only been to FS when someone linked to it on Fandom Wank, and even *I* noticed the huge number of "omg I find the Joker hot" and "omg my secret is some normal and mundane preference" secrets. If you're going to be all LOOK AT ME, I AM SUCH A FREAK over something, you better be like, "I ship Aslan/Voldemort completely unironically. The Joker likes to watch."

There was a book, I want to say it's by Michael Innes, where every time the detectives interview a certain old man, he talks about how the "water otter" isn't performing properly. Well, this goes on for the whole book, and the poor detectives cannot for the life of them figure out what a water otter is, and why the guy keeps complaining about it. Finally, at the very end of the book (as chance would have it), the old guy says he's finally got the water otter going, and he pours them a cup of tea with it.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Heeeeee.

[misachan.livejournal.com]

Jumper pretty much proves that Hayden can only act in shades of "sullen" and "whiny."

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

He seems like a nice enough guy, but I don't know why people keep casting him in things.

[divadeanna.livejournal.com]

Watchmen may be delayed now too?!?! NO NO NO!!!! STOP DELAYING THINGS, PEOPLE!!! GAH! What is WITH this year?!

Maybe this means 2009 is gonna rock. lol

[lavenderfrost.livejournal.com]

The FW wiki won't load for me! What's with FandomSecrets omg what did they do now?? O_O

FRUSTRATED CHAR IS FRUSTRATED. *tears hair out*

Just a temporary link, but:

I maintain that the best fandom secret was the picture of Teddy Roosevelt with the caption "I'd hit it with a big stick".

[rinnamarie.livejournal.com]

OMG, hilarrible. :)

[futureperfect.livejournal.com]

Ojh man, that fandom secrets secret has totally made my day. Which is unfortunate, because it's only 8.26am and that means that either the day is going to have to pull out something extra special to get over the line, or it's all downhill from here.

But I can relate to it, totally. All those people who think they're being so controversial/edgy because of things like finding the Joker hot? Come on, you can't be serious, thinking it's something you have to confess. You and half the internet, people.

[t4-flirt.livejournal.com]

They only find him hot because it's Heath Ledger. This is old news. *sigh*

[spiritofcrows.livejournal.com]

Poor Don LaFountaine. Who's gonna "IN A WOOOORRRRLLLLLLD" for us now?

[srallen.livejournal.com]

Probably one or all of these guys (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQRtuxdfQHw).

HI-HO, IT EVEN HAS A WATERMARK.

[melayka.livejournal.com]

Re: Kermit Bale, that's pretty convincing. But I'm not totally sold until I see the shot of Kermit running naked through the hallway with a chainsaw.

It really speaks of my ONTD addiction that I kept waiting to see a GIF of him giving his reflection a thumbs-up while screwing Miss Piggy, huh?

Re: HI-HO, IT EVEN HAS A WATERMARK.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

If anyone can find it, it'll be ONTD.

Blinded by all the awesome

[mustang-bex1126.livejournal.com]

so I can only manage this:
YAY LUSTY LEPRECHAUN! Colin Ferrel! =) Happy stories make me happy.

[trasnochadora.livejournal.com]

HAHAHA OHHHH, fandomsecrets. Kill me.

[emerybored.livejournal.com]

1) The picture of Duchovny in your link makes me add him back to the "sexy" list. 2) Another live-action TMNT movie? Do we REALLY have to go there? Those turtles need to get too mutant-y for child-appropriate viewing and slink quietly away into the sewers never to be heard from again.

[t4-flirt.livejournal.com]

That fandom secret made my week. Thanks SO much.

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

I concur with the Nite Owl image. It's bad enough I have to wait until NEXT YEAR to watch it.

RE: Fandom!Secret. I remember seeing it when it was originally posted. It got a TON of comments.

[jblankbluth.livejournal.com]

I am so glad I friended you, what with your links to lolarious F_S-mocking comics and Lemony Snicket references.

[aldehyde.livejournal.com]

that secret fandom wank link was wicked. a friend keeps sending me assorted tidbits from your linkspam posts, so i figured i might as well just add you to the flist meself :)

[angelan.livejournal.com]

I just finished Prince of Persia on the PS2. Dodgy camera angles aside, it was terrific! I can only hope they will keep the bits where he just can't stop talking to himself. And then decides the solution to Farah's backchat is to marry her. Yeah! That'll shut her up!

[mercat.livejournal.com]

I found this and I thought you might like it; someone started a petition (http://www.petitiononline.com/5050dent/petition.html) with some pretty crazy signatures. But I came across this comment, and thought of your journal, and then I looked at the name and whatdoyouknow! So anyway... =P

"139. Laura If you get enough sigs wll Uwee Boll stop making movies"

[wearejustducky.livejournal.com]

The frack thing makes me laugh, because today in my OIl and Gas class I nearly choked when I heard my professor make reference to "a frack job". I thought he was a closet BSG fan, but get this - it turns out that frack is a real word, at least in the oil and gas business. You can call in for fracking, you can tell someone that new formation out near Wichita Falls has a lot of potential but needs a frack job, you can call in the frack trucks...it's the word that keeps on giving.

[tabbyclaw.livejournal.com]

The funny thing is, though, I immediately start thinking in terms of which characters I'd like to be friends with, not which Hawt Literary Guyz I'd like to nail or anything.

Me too. And ones who would invent awesome things that the world needs.

[msilverstar]

It's all good. Or bad. Anyway, did you see the Daniel Radcliff wants to play a drag queen interview? Also: much-ish older girlfriend.

Or how about video of Gareth David-Lloyd (Ianto! from Torchwood!) talking dirty about John? And here the first of six shakey almost too fuzzy-to-listen to whole damn panel. He is a perv and funny as hell :-D

[saramiskismet.livejournal.com]

I don't watch NBC. But (JA)Brian Williams was on the Daily Show just now.

DEAR LORD this man is fantastic.

[discogravy.livejournal.com]

old, but someone definitely needs to cc some fandom comms: http://www.marriedtothesea.com/083008/fictional-work.gif

[queenofattolia.livejournal.com]

Two things:

Why would anyone outside of rabid Whedonites want to watch Dr. Horrible without NPH? Why do I even have to ask this question?

and

So Fox News: the fact that Duchovny can't keep his dick in his pants isn't the issue here?
