ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!

marthawells and half the rest of the universe: Westboro Baptist Church fails to grasp just who they are taking on at Comic-Con. My favorite is the Starfleet officer with the "God Hates Jedi" sign. ♥
In less happy news,ardwynna posts about Bismark, a German Shepherd at the Baldwin Park animal shelter who is scheduled to be euthanized in two days due to lack of space. If you know anyone who wants a dog in the California area, boost the signal, yeah?
But so we don't end on a downer,rosabelle wrote about Aang giving Zuko a puppy! :D :D :D :D :D
Edit of "OMG they're bantering again!": I just finished my 750 words, and the first hundred or so of it was this from the Fallen Knight 'verse (and yes, Dulcea was playing "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" when I wrote it, though I can't decide if that's a song Ali would actually listen to...I've always liked it because the band of demons sounds awesome).
( I really cannot allow KITT and Ali to banter unsupervised anymore. )
And then, because goddess forbid I should let KITT have an angst free morning, at the end of my 750 words I wrapped up with a teeny tiny bit from Indestructible.
( This bit starts from right after the last part I posted...you know, the 'oh KITT D:' part. )
Edit of "Ah hah, I remember what I wanted to talk about!": I watched one of the special features from the Knight Rider 2008 dvds last night, and one of the people responsible for designing the Knight Industries Three Thousand mentioned that modern cars can do "most" of the things the original KITT can do. "REALLY?" went I. "Modern cars can drive themselves and have lengthy philosophical conversations? THE BIG GUY HAS BEEN HOLDING OUT ON ME! Tomorrow he's driving to work while I watch DVDs, and then we're brainstorming fic!"
Alas, the Big Guy is still holding out on me and made me drive myself to work. :( Plus, he wouldn't even scan and identify the hot car that drove past in the opposite direction at about 80MPH. And we already know he fails the molecular bonded shell test, from the accident in January. He must be a Team Knight Rider level vehicle.
Big Guy: HEY! There's no need to be insulting.
They also talked about how they didn't want to do the red light, because that would be too close to the original. So then their big solution was to...take the scanner and mirror it. Okay then.
Most of the trip to work today we were surrounded by white Fords. It was disconcerting. Like that classic BSG episode where the Viper pilots met angels or whatever and came back with their uniforms bleached all white. (Look, I was 7-8 when that episode aired; this is the best description you're getting from me.)

OMG GUYS, I DON'T EVEN KNOW!
Jul. 23rd, 2010 05:58 pmThe Little Old Lady from Pasadena just made me buy a Jan & Dean album, and now I am like, "I TOTALLY WANT BEACH/CAR MUSIC FROM THE 60s!" So, who will admit to having same, and share? (I have Surf City, Drag City, The Little Old Lady from Pasadena, Dead Man's Curve, I Get Around, Fun Fun Fun, Sidewalk Surfin', Little Deuce Coupe, Help Me Rhonda, and Ride the Wild Surf already. Just so you know.)
Is anyone else having issues where Google Images locks up Firefox? (I'm running 3.whatever on Win7 at the moment, and every time I go to google images it stops responding. I am most vexed.)
