Never has this new icon been so appropriate AND AWESOME

Q: How many Daleks does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: Daleks don't change lightbulbs; they destroy the building.

HEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Okay, so really, deltagrl found this site, but I had to pass it on: Tom Baker Says!

My favorites are the first quote from Happy Gilmore (which, in repeat playings, still makes feiran and I DIE of laughter) and the first one from Predator (which I was telling people about just tonight! Tom Baker saying he’s a goddamned sexual tyrannosaurus…how is that not awesome?

Also, the joke above is from the joke part of the website. Be sure to check out the ones marked “What goes bang-thud” and “Why did the Dalek”. Those are funny enough, I won’t spoil them. My GOD. SO FUNNY CAN'T BREATHE

Reading the newspaper can be fun!

Got here via Wonkette: In the House, Suddenly Righteous Republicans

Here's the excerpt that actually made me laugh out loud:

Omitted from McHenry's plea for fairness was the fact that the GOPhad ignored Pelosi's 2004 request -- while routinely engaging in theprocedural maneuvers that her plan would have corrected. Was thegentleman from North Carolina asking Democrats to do as he says, not ashe did?

"Look, I'm a junior member," young McHenry protested. "I'm not beholden to what former congresses did."

Anne Kornblut of the New York Times asked McHenry if his complaint might come across as whining.

"I'm not whining," he whined.

AWESOME.

On this same sort of subject: today's article at Pandagon is really great and sad all at once. ::sigh:: "Do as I say," indeed.

Holiday 2006(-ish) Fic #4

Thank God. It's only just past Epiphany, so, technically, this is only one day late for being part of the holiday season, right? ::crickets:: Right? ::not even crickets::

Ahem. Anywho, this is for stars_fell, who, for reasons entirely unrelated to the disproportionate hotness of Paul McGann (yeah, right, I'm so sure) still likes the Doctor Who movie and the Eighth Doctor quite a bit. Her request was for an Eighth Doctor and Rose Tyler story. Her prompt...well, it's a line in the story. If you must know it, look for it at the end in my notes.

Whew. Done! I had half as many fics due this year as last, and it still took me forever. This is most likely a fault of all but one being set in the Who-niverse, which I had to study quite a lot to really get a feel for, and which was not helped by several of the fics informing upon each other until I couldn't write one that wouldn't agree with another. Sheesh.

2006 Holiday Fics are here: The Wassailing Dead (Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series), Veritum dies aperit (Torchwood), The Tension Between Mortality and Morbidity (Torchwood/Doctor Who)

As with last year, the fics seemed to get longer as I went on, which is probably because the first few were strikes of inspiration and the later ones consistent labors to try and get the fic together. The last two had about a hundred different drafts each. Whew, indeed.
