I read this comic, and I was torn between being scared, and laughing my a$$ off. I make it my mission to meet Caryn some day. Gotta respect a woman who can wear boiled egg slices on her face.

The lovely and talented Caryn Billy Ray Joe Bob sez: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Guess you've never seen Mars Attacks, eh W4? =)<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Yes. Yes, I did see that movie. It darn near melted my friend's brain. After seeing it, my poor pal Matt, who is a better speaker in a second than I am all day, was rendered wide-eyed and dumb. Here's an (estimation of an) excerpt of our dialogue.ME: Matt? Matt? [pause] Are you okay?
MATT: [opens arms wide] BIG! MOVIES! [pause] BIG! PICTURES! [pause] STOOOOOOOOOOPID!
ME: [blinks, mildly worried] Okay. So the plot wasn't anything to write hom-
MATT: PLOT? [pause] PLOT! [charades scribbling] WRITE! [holds up 6 fingers] SIX-YEAR-OLD!
ME: [pause, wondering how to cope when an otherwise normal person goes batspit] ...be that as it may, it wasn't THAT bad.
MATT: STOOOOOOOOPID!
[snip]
[later]
ME: I agree, Matt. But at least the sub-plots-
MATT: SUB-PLOTS?
ME: [ducks behind chair]
MATT: SUB-PLOTS! [charades scribbling] WRITE! [holds up 6 fingers] FOUR! [looks at fingers, lowers two] FOUR-YEAR-OLD!This went on for the rest of the evening and part of the next morning. I swear that I can still see the poor guy shudder when that movie is mentioned. Poor guy.And I see that you're familiar with Star Control! *Jumping peppers!* It is *smiley time!* ^_^W4,

Hee! Well, I think if your friend went to see the movie expecting deep, analytical subplots dealing with the whole human-alien confrontation, he was expecting WAY too much. =) It was MEANT to be a silly, campy movie, and I loved it for that. And yes, I know of Star Control. I played the first one, the second one, and (shudder) the third one. I really, really thought the Syreen anamatronic dummy was a joke. They should have used a real woman for it. Egads. These are the 'seductive space-sirens?' Eek.We come from *happy place*! *Tourists* should always be *happy*!-PsychoBlonde

Caryn, you are the ONLY person I know who's heard that George Carlin album. You have my eternal respect.------------------

Weird. I ALSO have it on vinyl, and it was my intro to him as well. Scary! I know it's out on CD...gotta get me one 'a them. I think it just might be his best album."I'm Congolia Breckenridge, and I'm salty."For those of you just tuning in, the George Carlin album in question is "Take Offs and Put Ons". Within the grooves of said album, you learn how to cook them damn grits.------------------

Hehe. I still have that album somewhere on vinyl. It's a great album. I don't know where I originally got it, but it's what first put me onto Geore Carlin. Great stuff.-PsychoBlonde

That is kinda scary. =) I used to listen to that album all the time when I was younger. It was the only Carlin album I had, and I had pretty much memorized all the bits. "It's a leftover. What a sad word that is, 'leftover'. How would you like to be ... a leftover. Well, it wouldn't be bad if they were taking people out to be shot! I might even volunteer! But you know, leftovers make you feel good twice. Y'ever think about that? Leftovers give you two, seperate good feelings! When you first put them away, you feel ... really intelligent! 'I'm saving food!' And then, after a month, when hair is growing out of them, and you THROW them away, you feel ... really intelligent! 'I'm saving my LIFE!'"-PsychoBlonde
