I haven’t a clue who she is but, since I got close to 2,000 pictures of her, I thought I ought to find out.  Wiki tells me she is from the Boston area, raised Mormon, was on a bunch of TV shows and in movies I have never seen.  This is off to a rousing start!  I know Acadia, the drooling fanboy, likes her because she was on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  And I know that because he brings that show up every half hour.

Her new project is Dollhouse; I attempted some research and it makes no sense to me.  She is a different person every day and is programmed or some shit.  I dunno.  A robot under hypnosis?  I guess she wants to stay in the weirdo sci-fi genre.  Based on the cult following Buffy got, I suppose this is a good decision.  The same guy who did Buffy is doing Dollhouse so I guess it’s a good relationship.  But, even though I get FOX (this sounds like a cable show but isn’t), I don’t imagine I will be watching her any time soon.

(Acadia’s Note  – I am NOT a drooling fan boy.  I just happen to think that Buffy was a good show and Faith was a good character.  It isn’t like I subscribe to Buffy message boards.  Or go to conventions dressed like The Master.  Or write a bunch of Buffy fan fiction where Willow tries to teach Buffy how to be a lesbian and then Faith comes in and they all try to learn together and then….

Never mind.  I’ve said too much already.)

Since the only way people can get dates is on TV shows now, Fox has decided to make a show that will be ‘inclusive’, cause they get the fact that not everyone is a size two.  Look at this!

 

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – Fox is developing a dating-competition series that casts “average-looking” people.

The series, titled “More to Love,” is billed as the first “dating show for the rest of us,” throwing open its doors to overweight contestants.

So now they figure that fat people are going to watch a TV show about other fat people dating so they can understand that fat people can get dates?  How is that going to convince anyone of anything?  You see fat people walking around all the time with dates.  And husbands.  And wives.  And sometimes one is fat and the other one is skinny (I like those couples, cause their shadows look like a number 10).

What Fox is missing is that if we want to watch fat people, all we have to do is go outside.  That’s not what TV is for.  TV is for NOT average.  Why don’t they just skip the figging tryouts on American Idol if they want average? Just put every asshole who wants in on the show.  Run it five nights a week, and let people call in and start narrowing it down from there?  Actually, that’s a pretty good idea.

But anyway – I can fix the Fox fatty farce, but they will need to do a tie in.  If you want to see how, you can after the jump!

I have been asking people on Twitter all day to send me links for today’s link post, but they seem to be too busy spamming Twitter to get their links on an actual website, so I am on my own.  Except for!

Demure Jen and her post about Earth Hour

Nipplelicious: 12 Cabins, 12 Vancancies

Stop emailing me about the goddamned Conficker Worm.  Jesus.

So since she is the only one who sent me anything (so far) I am going to spend the rest of the post talking about the .tel domain.  Apparently it is some kind of virtual business card that at least according to the video below can get you laid.

I checked to see if Acadia.tel was available (it’s not) so I don’t care much anymore, but I did check some others just to see if people are jumping on the bandwagon.  And no, I did not bother looking to see if superficialgallery.tel was available cause the point of this is to have access to the info on your phone and our url would actually poke out the site of your iphone’s screen. 

So since the thing just sits on the dns server, you get to see their contact info, but there is not another

• Sex.tel – not a surprise here. The sexy people love getting ahead of things.
• Whitehouse.tel – call the Whitehouse and ask where your bailout check is!
• Food.tel – this guy obviously was all hot to get a short name (and he did) but the rest of the plan seems to have petered out.
• John.tel – I wanted to see if anyone actually used their domain like the dude in the movie.  This guy didn’t.
• Porn.tel – Call this guy and find out whe there are going to be pornstar’s telephone numbers on this thing.

Now – watch the video and let me know what you think about the technology.  I am not getting one.  But if you do, then you obviously want randome people on the Internet to be able to call you whenever you want.  I think there is a privacy thing, but where is the fun in that?  Just go for it!

The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain.  All else is supplemental.

1.  Don’t pick a fight with an old man.  If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.

2.   If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

3.   I carry a gun because, a cop is too heavy.

4.   When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away.

5.  A reporter did a human-interest piece on the Texas Rangers.  The  reporter recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was carrying and asked him, ‘Why do you carry a 45?’  The Ranger responded, ‘Because they don’t make a 46.

6.  The old sheriff was attending an awards dinner, when a  lady commented on his wearing his sidearm.  ‘Sheriff, I see you have your  pistol. Are you expecting  trouble?’ ‘No Ma’am.  If I were expecting trouble, I would have brought my shotgun.’

7.   Beware of a man who only has one gun.  HE PROBABLY KNOWS HOW TO USE IT!!!

But wait, there’s  more!

I  was once asked by a lady visiting if I had a gun in the house.  I said I did.  She said, ‘Well I certainly hope it isn’t loaded!’  To which I said, “Of course it is loaded, it can’t work without bullets!’ She then asked, ‘Are you that afraid of someone evil coming into your house?’  My reply was, ‘No not at all.  I am not afraid of the house catching fire either, but I have fire extinguishers around, and they are all loaded too.’  To which I’ll add, having an unloaded gun in the house is like having a car in the garage, without gas in the tank.
