DT: I Like You Better Than My Sister Likes Me



I was debating about which of these posts I wanted to use for Dewey Tuesday, and I ultimately decided that the one below is far more informative.

So I'm currently watching "When in Rome" (Shut up. The Olsen twins and I have a connection that your cynicism can't break), and as the opening credits were rolling, I recognized one of the names. Archie Kao...Archie Kao?...where have I heard that name before?

And in a moment of apostrophe (I think you mean "epiphany"), it came to me.
C.
S.
I.

Yes, Archie Kao is none other than Archie Johnson, Lab Rat.
And this guy was 33 in "When in Rome" when he was supposed to be like 20.
Blew my freaking mind.
He also extraed as Sand Crab #4 in LOST

Speaking of mind altering revelations...
Yesterday, I discovered that Gus from "Psych" is also Sam the Onion Man from "Holes"!!!
And when I told my sister, completely out of breath and glowing, she just nodded her head and said "yeah-I-know" like it was no big deal and I was the biggest idiot for not figuring it out sooner.
That took the wind out of my sails.
Why the heck didn't she tell me sooner??
Oh yeah, because she's evil.
I made a billion sellin' onions, now I'm out to make a trillion. I blew all my first million makin' my hair high as a buildin'.

Well. I'm not as inconsiderate as she is. Which is why I'm sharing with you.
You're welcome.

DT: May the Lithp Be With You


















You might as well know now that I cried the first time I saw Han Solo get frozen.


Found at: - FilesTube


I don't know when I became "List Girl," (not to be confused with "Lithp Girl") but, well, that's who I've become.
Seriously though, how could I pass up the opportunity to educate the masses about Star Wars? (Like when I mention the Trilogy and some ign'ant person asks "Which one" and I'm forced to respond with, "Watch your mouth kid, or you’ll find yourself floating home.")
It's a simple fact that Star Wars quotes are appropriate for all occasions, in all situations, and by all people (and Jawas).


Statement: "Where are we and who the heck are you?"
Response: "Mos Eisley spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy."

Statement: "Look at this awesome Snuggie I bought you!"
Response: "Into the garbage chute, flyboy!"


Statement: "I just bought the DVD set of 'Cop Rock'!"
Response: "I’ve got a very bad feeling about this."


Statement: "Mom! I got a gold star in finger painting!"
Response: "Great, Kid. Don't get cocky."


Statement: "Your car is a piece of crap. It doesn't even have a grill."

Response: "You’ve never heard of the Millennium Falcon? It’s the ship that made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs."

Statement: "What's that Buffy's cooking?"
Response: "Who's scruffy looking?"

Statement: "Swimming with sharks in a meat suit sounds like kind of a bad idea."
Response: "I find your lack of faith disturbing."


Statement: "Get your lazy butt off the couch and go find a job."
Response:
"But I was going into Tosche Station to pick up some power converters!"

Statement: (Insert absolutely anything here)
Response: "...I know."

Dana:

So. She made this for all you bean poles that may also not have known:

Dewey Tuesday



Tuesdays will henceforth be deemed "Dewey Tuesday" in honor of the inexorable Melvil Dewey of Dewey Decimal fame. Tuesdays will thereby be dedicated to the sole purpose of education and the rejuvenation of the mind.

And I will type in a British accent. (If you play the music while reading, it will aide in imagining that my British accent doesn't keep veering off into Australian.)

Today, we will examine the Romans as viewed by precocious elementary school children for a class project.


Scene 1

Brian: Unlike the Greeks, both boys and girls went to school in Rome. When a boy turned 16 he was given a citizen’s toga and his first shave. This is the story about a not so brilliant boy who becomes a great gladiator. This scene takes place during the ceremony in which the boy becomes a man.

Drew: Ouch! You just cut me!

Kelly: Sorry, but there’s always a cut or two in the first shave.

Drew: Sure

Kelly: (After finishing) Ah, you look great, now here’s your toga.

Drew: (Putting on his toga) Yes, now I can become a gladiator…….. Ah now the Great Sal Ami is in his Togo’s!

Kelly: It’s called a toga.

Drew: Togo’s, toga, whatever

Jenny: The government of Rome was smart. They knew that if the people were not occupied they would cause trouble. So, they set up brutal fights between gladiators to entertain the people. This is Sal’s first battle against the Great Turk Ey.

Scene 2

Drew: You shall die you swine!

Kelly: Not likely. (lunging at Sal)
(They fight)

Brian: Needless to say, he won that battle and many more after that. But, finally he met his "match" in the Great Pas Trami.

Scene 3
Pas Trami and Sal Ami fight until Sal dies.

Kelly or Brian: Sal met an honorable end to his life.

Fin.


(P.s. Yes we did mean "match" in that way)
