Curly's Rambunctious and Erudite Random Banter #140

[Dr. Bath]

I want more charlie brooker. Right now.

What is this sudden infatuation with 'comedy' roasts on the TV. Ugh. So terrible. How about that aeroplane food.

[Deth Muncher]

On the subject of webcomic artists, I hugged Ryan Sohmer (of Looking for Group and Least I Could Do fame) when we both realized we were both Jewish. O_o

EDIT: He initiated the hug, so I didn't get tazed by security guards.

Also, Christ Hastings was kind of a D-Bag to me when I met him. Maybe that's because it was ComiCon, and thousands of Con Guests can grate at one's sanity.

Come to think of it though, Hastings was the only one who wasn't remarkably chill. And I met several at ComiCon.

It's of similar quality to James Cordon's comedy.

[Dr. Bath]

Yaaaay.

Rob Brydon saves the day often though. He's pretty great. Also the toilet duck I hear. A tiny toilet duck stuck in a box.

Does PETA know?

[Dr. Bath]

Do they have PETA in Wales? I don't imagine they would survive.

[absolmorph]

Man, other people have met well-known people. I've never even seen a semi-well-known person...
I live in Orange County, for Roland's sake!
Of course, my geekiness has been flourishing a lot this last year, and before that I was quiet about being a geek (and I'm quiet to begin with), so I guess it makes some sense...
-sigh-
I guess I'll just have to wait...

[Lyesmith]

I met John Peel when I was about 10, he was lovely. I also met Steve Redgrave, who as a rule is pretty boring.

[Dr. Bath]

John Allison is the lovliest. As is Huw Davies of Bunny fame. Meredith Gran is also fairly lovely, but I gave away my lovely signed and illustrated copy of octopus pie.

[Thufir]

Man, other people have met well-known people. I've never even seen a semi-well-known person...

I met Alan Titchmarsh once. And Jimmy Nail a different time, and a couple of other famous geordie people I'd never heard of (Though they may have been members of bands which I had heard of).

[Kobold-Bard]

I once passed Graham Norton as he was rushing out of a moterway services toilet. Does that count?

Please tell me you clotheslined him.

Argh, three vodkas hurt my system. ._.

How much vodka is a vodka? Bottle, shot?

A kinsman! Shalom chaver, mah shlomcha?

But they were all awesome. Andrew Hussie was a bit reserved, but he comes off that way in his blog, and we shared a moment when I said I was star-shocked and he said he was fan-shocked.

[Nameless]

Bottle. I don't even like the stuff. It was the cherry inside, IT TEMPTED ME!

A kinsman! Shalom chaver, mah shlomcha?

Sababa. Mah nishmah?

[Dr. Bath]

I have an illustration of me and Paddington bear by John Lobban, the original illustrator of the books.

Do I win?

You are terrible, Nameless. Man up.

[Lyesmith]

Bottle. I don't even like the stuff. It was the cherry inside, IT TEMPTED ME!



Sababa. Mah nishmah?

wait wait you've had three bottles of vodka!? Like, small bottles?

John Peel signed a Home Truths postcard for me, and wrote me a nice message.

Also, I really want to send a kinda-role-model some fanmail, but I can;t find anyplace to send it to. Which is kind of good, because now I don't have to write it.

[Dr. Bath]

Kinda role model you say? Oh do go on.

Actually that's really awesome. Lub John Peel.

Either Nameless is lying or it was alchopop. I knew it. Nameless is Bubble. Where's Patsy when you need her.

[Perenelle]

I have an illustration of me and Paddington bear by John Lobban, the original illustrator of the books.

:O You lucky duck. I love Paddington Bear. I was practically raised off those books.

Along with Winnie the Pooh, Corduroy, and the Bearinstein Bears. and I just noticed that they all have bears in them.. I also had a lot of stuffed teddy bears in my room. I guess I liked bears.

[Lyesmith]

Kinda role model you say? Oh do go on.

Actually that's really awesome. Lub John Peel.

I got to be on home truths. I didn't contribute that much (The third harry potter book had basically just come out) but he was there to interview my mother anyhow.

My teacher called me a celebrity the monday after it aired, too. It was really neat, and John Peel was lovely.


Role Model (kinda) is Russell Tovey. I want to send him fan mail, but I'm terrified I'd sound creepy.

[Dogmantra]

Now it's time for me to give my only famous connection of which I am terribly proud: My godmother is the voice of BT. You know, the one who says "Please hang up and try again."

Also she knew Douglas Adams.

There. Lamest "celebrity" connection ever.

[Dr. Bath]

BEARS WILL STING YOU.

DON'T MESS WITH BEARS.

wait...

[Phase]

Sababa. Mah nishmah?

You and I have a bond of brotherhood now that can only be broken with enough goodies or the love of a beautiful video card.

[Nameless]

It was only 4 units, but it just made me feel ill. DAMN YOU SUGARY DRINKS WITH YOUR COLOURFUL TEMPTATIONS!

But they looked so pretty. :')

You and I have a bond of brotherhood now that can only be broken with enough goodies or the love of a beautiful video card.

We do? But I don't think we've ever spoken.

[Kobold-Bard]

Please tell me you clotheslined him.

No sorry, I really needed to pee (we'd been driving for 6 hours and I'd consumed a frankly unsafe amount of Red Bull).

re: alcohol. Desperados is the way forward for everyone. Yeah that's right, t's tequia flavoured beer. Though my mate Dave doesn't call it angry juice for the fun of it (though it seems to not affect everyone in this way).

[Perenelle]

BEARS WILL STING YOU.

DON'T MESS WITH BEARS.

wait...

for some reason that just reminded me of that song my friends and I sang when we were little.

"I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee,
Won't my mommy be so proud of me,
I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee,
Ouch! It stung me!
I'm squishing up the baby bumblebee,
Won't my mommy be so proud of me,
I'm squishing up a baby bumblebee,
Ooh! It's yucky!
I'm wiping off the baby bumblebee,
Won't my mommy be so proud of me,
I'm wiping off the baby bumblebee,
Now my mommy won't be mad at me!"


I feel bad for the bumblebee...

[Dr. Bath]

Oooh. The warwolv one. Just don't creep it up too much, it'll be fine! At least you're not a fangirl he will think.

Daaang yo. I was gonna be on Radio 4, but then they cancelled the show I was supposed to be on. Distressing.

John Peel had a horrifying school life. Really awful, it's amazing he was so well adjusted and lovely.

@^ Poor bumbledbee.

Desperados are horrible, kobold! Ack. It's all about whiskey. That isn't Jack Daniels.

[Lyesmith]

Oooh. The warwolv one. Just don't creep it up too much, it'll be fine! At least you're not a fangirl he will think.

BUMBLEBEEEEE

Yeah, the werewolf one. Freind of mine knows I think he's cool, and then pushes her ears out. One day I will cut her.

Also, having considered it, I think Tovey is possibly the only gay guy in England I'd class as a personal role model. Of course, this might just be because I've got a crush.

[Dr. Bath]

He is certainly better than Graham Norton.

A shoe is as well, but still.
