Guys I'm back and I swear I haven't stolen your money. What did I miss? EDIT: Hey does anyone know a good repairman for golden yachts? My bilge system seems to be clogged up with whores. Also I remind you that I did not steal your money.

Blind Sally posted:GRRM's entire body of work should be required reading before people enter The Bad Thread. I've read selected passages from Wild Cards, Meathouse Man and Portraits of His Children. Please, I'd rather not go much further; GRRM is a twisted gently caress who hates people and wants everyone but himself to suffer. Unless, you know, that would interfere with their contributing to his next gimp room.

You know, Halloween is coming up. While other people are going out as Freddy Krueger or Jason Voorhees, we should go out as a real monster. Perhaps a writer we all know, eh? One who seems to not give a poo poo about how horrid his prose is but soldiers onwards anyway because the relentless legions of barely literate fans refuse to ever stop worshipping his every flaccid turd. You know who I mean.

Speaking of Dragoncon and GRRMyness: I have never seen so many grown men with dinky white boy baby dicks mashed into lycra. Attn: nerds. If you're gonna dress as Spider-Man, Wolverine, Deadpool, etc., wear a cup. Everyone is laughing at your three bean salad.

The best part of attending any con, honestly, is the plethora of dudes in ill-fitting spandex costumes. My favourites are the endless superheroes who have had the "Obese" template added to them. It's like a weird juxtaposition because they're always drawn so beefy and swole, yet cosplayed by guys who only lift cans of Sprite. Obese Deadpool! Obese Wolverine! Obese Rorschach! No one ever cosplays as the Blob.

It's fun at Gencon to compare the fat stormtroopers wearing fat stormtrooper armor, and the fat stormtroopers wearing the regular sized armor. I hope one day to have a third comparison to a fit stormtrooper in regular sized armor, but :gencon:.

Thankfully I've mostly avoided the grotesque in person, but most cosplay I've seen has been dumb anime poo poo and a few fairly-assed superheroes (usually ladies, heyohhhh). There's also been this sort of trend towards women Deadpools, which is cool by me.

In other news, the silly show has recast the role of ~*~Daario~*~, who will now be played by Michiel Huisman from HBO's Treme. And King Tommen has also been recast. Joramun fucked around with this message at 10:37 on Aug 31, 2013 |

The only part I desperately wanted to be recast (Ygritte  ) has not been, unfortunately. But she's going to die soon anyway, so I guess I'll just Y-grit my teeth through her scenes for a little while longer.

The clouds parted and from inbetween a sparkling beam of light shot down to Earth. It landed on an unassuming, grassy hilltop just outside the city. When the light faded again, a burly figure clad in a leather raincoat, wearing sunglasses on his face and a pair of giant, feathered wings on his back, was left standing and surveyed his surroundings. After adjusting to this new (but of course so very old) plain of existence, he levitated down from the hill and started his way toward the city. Somewhere in the center of town, Rose Leslie was just awakening from a refreshing, full night of sleep in her obnoxiously elegant feng shui apartment. She got up and got dressed, because that's just the kind of person she was, the kind who just gets out of bed and gets dressed immediately as soon as they wake up, no hitting the snooze button or a bit of lounging around for a few minutes like a commoner, just up and out and go. It was just one of the many insufferable qualities on which she so prided herself. Fine, fresh, fierce: she had it unlocked. Smugly, she brushed her teeth and brushed her hair (mayhaps with the same brush, mayhaps not) and finished her routine with a little jig of selfsatisfaction. Just as she was about to leave to get a latte or some other kind of pretentious caffeinated fake drink at a local non-chain coffee shoppe, she heard a loud, confident knock on the door. Just a single knock, but it was enough. Enough for Rose Leslie, enough for the uncaring Universe, and certainly enough for justice. She opened the door and calmly looked at the man with the dark sunglasses, leather raincoat and giant feathered wings standing in front of her. "Good day," he proclaimed in a booming, otherworldly voice. "G'day," chirped Rose, unfazed, because Rose Leslie may be many things, not a single one of them good, but fazed is not ever one of them. "Art thou Rose Leslie, unfazed actress who plays the barely sufferable Ygritte on the wholly unnecessary HBO program Game of Thrones?" the man asked. He already knew the answer, because he was virtually all-knowing and all-seeing, but he always liked a bit of stalling before getting to work, because otherwise it would be over so soon, and isn't that just all what life is anyway, a bit of stalling before getting it over with. "It is I," she proclaimed, haughtily pursing her lips. "I am here to deliver a message from God," said the angel on her doorstep. Rose was so far from fazed, that she was almost fazed from how unfazed she in fact was. A personal message from the Creator of All Things to her, Rose Leslie, whom she knew to be the greatest thespian who had ever lived and ever would live, struck her as the most natural and expected thing in the world. "You may deliver it to me," she said to the angel and pierced at him with her left eyebrow slightly aloft. The Angel of Vengeance summarily conjured up a great, big, extra sharp scimitar, which he had lovingly christened J'Accuse, and chopped off Rose's smug head in one fell swoop. It rolled away from her feet and was instantly attacked by a vicious flock of bloodthirsty ravens, which consumed it entirely as her lifeless body collapsed to the floor. "The Lord sends his regards," the angel boomed. And that was how the Creator of Time, the Universe, and All Things in It, dispensed justice on Rose Leslie, for her crimes against humanity, the Arts, and eardrums around the world. For he is a Just lord, Rose Leslie a sinner, and her story a lesson.

They'll probably turn Talisa into Lady Stoneheart instead of Cat, just so they can say they changed another thing from the books. And wee baby Ned inside her belly thus becomes Baby Stoneheart. He'll be like Krang from TMNT. Joramun fucked around with this message at 08:43 on Sep 1, 2013 |
