Verbal pottering

Random possibly-but-also-possibly-not-a-Stargate-reference moment of the day: Just watching reruns of My Name Is Earl. Beau Bridges, as daddy Earl, remarked, "You know, I ran into John Sheppard today. He said Earl came in to pay for a window he broke fifteen years ago." I just checked on IMDb, and the episode ('Cost Dad The Election') aired a few months after he started in Stargate.

Oh! And now Friends is on, and Peter Deluise and pal are bullying Chandler and Ross. Heh.

I got home early from work today, and curled up on the bed to read a movie magazine, and got sleepy, and then A came and curled up next to me with his head on my back, and we napped for almost two hours. It was very nice.

---

I wish that new film wasn't called Frost/Nixon. Because I've been hanging around fandom too long, and urgh. I bet it's already out there, isn't it? No, don't tell me; I don't want to know.

Why, exactly, are the 12" Stargate action figures only available as Jack, Daniel, and Cam? I'm deeply unimpressed with your white boy bias, toy manufacturers (although I do also get that you're probably reusing the same base, and just sticking a new head on). I'm told they're rather ugly, too.

Am only commenting on the first part, because it's to good to miss and, well I'm tired:
I love it when there are references in tv shows like that, makes it that more totally awsome to not only watch a show but also wanting to follow that show. I love My Name is Earl and when I the other day saw the re-runs of that episode, I almost choked on my soda. it was just to funny, in a subtle kinda way. Love that.
Well, am off to bed. Be good!

Oh, never feel obliged to comment on all the disjointed ramblings of my brain. *g*

Hee! I'm glad I'm not the only one who spotted that. It was very subtle. Pretty much any other name would've been too obvious, thinking about it.

I have almost fallen for the Prior@Daniel one ... I wish they would do an AscendedSweater!Daniel though.

Those cloth action figures look nothing like the boys at all. Daniel is just flipping ugly.

I don't so much want a Daniel Prior one, myself, but that's because I find the Prior getup a little peculiar. It looks like they're caked in make-up. Which of course they are, but... eh, I just don't like it. :) Ascended Daniel would be cute, though - like you say, in the sweater (rather than the green shirt of hideousness! *g*). Ah, I do want all of the little action figures - but I must resist. Must. Resist...

not getting the reference part.... Then again, I've never seen My Name Is Earl lol. Might have something to do with it?

Aww ^_^

Do I even wanna know?

Action figures?

Heh - well, Beau Bridges (Landry in Stargate / other character in My Name Is Earl) mentioned John Sheppard (i.e. character from Stargate Atlantis). It's a fairly ordinary name, so it might be sheer coincindence... I'm inclined to think it was on purpose, though. :)

Action figures, yes! The little Stargate dolls - I'm trying to resist buying more of them, so I can dress them up funny and post photos on here... Anyhow, there's some larger versions, but they're a) ugly, and b) only available as Jack, Daniel, and Cam. Eh.

:)

lol

Ah yes, now I remember them! Didn't you do some story line thingy with them in pictures or something? Or was that someone else?

Well, I have been known to do that, as have several people, but the queen of "Action Figure Theatre" is [livejournal.com profile] rihansu: http://rihansu.livejournal.com/tag/action+figure+theater

The 12 inch figures are incredibly BAD. I consider myself lucky that my guy forgot to order mine.

Ah - I'm definitely going to avoid, then. Well, that's good for my bank balance, anyhow.
