Randy: There's a commercial for Life Alert, the "Fallen and I Can't Get Up" thing.
Randy: This lady says "I'll give up bread, soda, and beer but never my Life Alert"
Randy: Who would ask someone to give that up?
TalkingDog: Maybe you can get addicted.
Randy: Always falling down and calling for help. That can be addicting.
TalkingDog: You'd have to get them to a support group, where they teach you that you can get up without it.
TalkingDog: "My name is Margaret, and I've been upright for 2 months. My ankles are killing me."

RinkChat Webcam
ThePhan has left.

ThePhan has entered.
ThePhan: For some reason my Internet has just decided it is very unhappy with me being in RinkChat.
Ticia: Boo, Internet.
Ticia: It's probably because of all the fancy flash and jpegs and stuff. Sam really needs to tone this place down.
ThePhan: Well, I'll be the first to admit that the live webcam feed of every RinkChat user is nice, but I think maybe it would help if it was limited to only the ones who were actually in chat at the time.
* Sentynel blinks
* Sentynel should probably put some clothes on.
Ticia: Yeah, that's annoying.
Ticia: The webcam thing.
Ticia: But also the Sentynel naked thing.

* Sam comes back and reads "But also the Sentynel naked thing" and decides not to investigate further.

Enthusastic Greetings
wintermute: PHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
wintermute: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
wintermute: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
Sam: Wow. Congrats on avoiding a scroll bar on my screen. (Your cue to go longer.)
ThePhan: That was quite enthusiastic.
ThePhan: Hello, all.
Sam: That was not enthusiastic.
Sentynel: 'lo.
* Sentynel tries for the least enthusiastic possible greeting.
TalkingDog: hm.
Sam: *grunt*

The Exorcist Dance Numbers
ThePhan: Also, Sam, in case you did not see this: http://unpublishedforareason.blogspot....12/06/blind-spots-2012-band-wagon.html
Sam: TP: Check out Silk Stockings sometime. It's essentially a musical version of Ninotchka (no need to have seen that) with Astaire and Charisse. It's also interesting in that it's roughly the last classic MGM musical, and although they knock the dance numbers out of the park, you can sense that the filmmakers were aware the genre was fading out and tried a little harder to stay relevant instead of merely exulting in the format.
Sam: So it's a curiosity AND a great example of the genre in one.
ThePhan: Oh, right! I remember you mentioning that when I said I was seeing The Band Wagon. I shall add it to my list.
ThePhan: I think I'm going to watch The Exorcist next for the blind spots list.
Sam: I didn't really like the dance numbers in that..
Sam: Ok, there's some impressively freaky choreography in it, but no joy.
ThePhan: Hey, dance isn't always all about joy.
Sam: There should be a joy of craft and process, even if it's absent in the subject.
Sam: Also, that movie forgets the lessons Fred Astaire's movies taught about cinematography. You should do long takes of the whole of the dancers' bodies. But The Exorcist is so fixated on Linda Blair's (puking) head, you seldom if ever see what her feet are doing.
Sam: It's tragic that some of filmdom's best tap dancing sequences were only captured from the neck up.
Sam: ...I got nowhere else to go with this.

I Hereby Christ You
ThePhan: LOL. Someone Facebook posted "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," spread out over several statuses, one word at a time.
ThePhan: However, FB does not always put statuses in order when they show up in my news feed.
ThePhan: I got, "Can I through things strengthens all who do Christ me."
LaZorra: I HEREBY CHRIST YOU
ThePhan: Yay! Now I can through things strengthen you!

TalkingDog: That sounds weird.
Randy: It was pretty cool

LaZorra: I just glanced at the buffer and saw, "Randy: I'm watching Monk sing Opera."
TalkingDog: That is what I read at first.
LaZorra: Not only did I think you meant the Tony Shalhoub character, but the capitalization made me think first of teh web browser.
* LaZorra watches House sing Firefox.

Blankfinger
TalkingDog: Also, I burned my finger slightly on the pan. So ow again.
TalkingDog: Ooh. My fingerprint is smoother on that part.
* TalkingDog stares at it.
ThePhan: You burned off your fingerprints! Quick, go commit crimes with one finger!
LaZorra: LOL LOL
TalkingDog: That's a silly-awesome premise for a supervillain. Blankfinger.
Randy: He is....THE FINGER
Randy: Or that
TalkingDog: Maybe a Bond villain.
ThePhan: Goldfinger's cousin.
* LaZorra is Blankfinger's henchmen.
* LaZorra skyllks around.
LaZorra: "Give 'im da finger, boss! Give 'im da finger!"
LaZorra: *henchman
LaZorra: I AM ALL OF THE HENCHMEN
ThePhan: LZ will be ALL the henchmen.
LaZorra: LOL
ThePhan: In my mind, you are Oompa Loompas.
TalkingDog: Your nickname is Digits.
LaZorra: Phan: noooooooooooooo
LaZorra: TD: :D
LaZorra: Oompa LaZorras?
TalkingDog: Loompa-Zoompas!
LaZorra: hahaha
ThePhan: LOL
TalkingDog: Now my evil plan will be to destroy all the pizza.
* ThePhan hides the pizzas that were in her fridge so Blankfinger cannot get them!
TalkingDog: The law will require all pizza to be served with sauerkraut. Then no one will ever order it!
ThePhan: LOL
Randy: ewww
TalkingDog: You might still be able to get some illegal pizza in a bake-easy, but those will be dealt with harshly.
* LaZorra snickers snivelingly in the corner.
TalkingDog: I picture a world in which pepperoni will require a prescription and a background check.
TalkingDog: I should write horror stories.
TalkingDog: Ooh. My fingerprint is smoother on that part.
