YES. DO IT.

Now I can just think of this and the ending of The First Avenger isn't so sad anymore!

And now I'm laughing (yes, I'm still on FailBlog... they have a magnificent geek section):

And I'm still laughing:

I know basically 1% about Doctor Who, but, sure, this sounds like a GREAT idea to me!

Anyone Excited for Christmas?

Personally, I'm looking forward to Midnight Mass tonight.

Okay, I may have done this post just in order to use these two gifs. *whistles innocently*

Good Wizard? Check.

In honor of the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who tomorrow, I am providing a public service by reminding you all of one little fact:

Sylvester McCoy played both the 7th Doctor in Doctor Who and Radagast the Brown in The Hobbit.

Think on that for a few moments.

My work here is finished.

Multi-Fandom Funnies

No, they absolutely have no idea.

In other words, you could make the argument that we Ringers had to wait ten years for another movie. Also, after There And Back Again, there will likely BE no more Tolkien movies.

Let that sink in. And now let the bawling begin. *sniff*

This explains everything!

Can. Not. Stop. Laughing. XD This is perfect, perfect, PERFECT! Brilliant use of Photoshop (or whatever program). And now I want a cookie... hmm...

In other news, I'm having problems finding Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Grr. It looks like I may be returning to the original anime sub for a while yet... at least until Maes Hughes dies. *sobs uncontrollably* I love Maes so much. He's just awesome.

Why is it that whenever someone is adorable and loveable in Fullmetal Alchemist that something bad immediately happens to them? Gaaaah. Found FMAB episode 4 (in English) yesterday and watched it. It was the Nina & Alexander one.

So. Much. Nightmare. Fuel. So. Many. Feels. Gaaaah.

I think this is one of those fandoms where, after a while, you start to wonder if it's bad for your emotional well-being. Ah, well, I have plenty of those already. *coughTolkiencough* *coughPercyJacksoncough*

No More Fandoms!

Amy, you can't give me any more of your fandoms! I don't have time for anymore! Seriously, I swear, this is it!

True story: the other day in physics we were divided up into small groups and assigned a problem. Note: the teacher can be a bit of a troll. A likeable, funny troll (if you're of the disposition to like physics and also the physics teacher, which I luckily am), but still a troll.

We were asked to determine whether horizontal or vertical motion determined the time in two parts of a problem. We came to the unanimous conclusion that vertical motion determined the time in both parts and wrote that down accordingly.

The teacher came by, pointed to our answer for the first part, and announced, "Wrong!" before moving on the next group. We looked at each other, shrugged, erased our answer and put down 'horizontal' instead.

The teacher came by again, pointed to our answer, and said, "Extra wrong!" He moved on. We looked at each other in confusion.

"Neither?" someone suggested.

We put down 'neither'. The teacher came by again. He pointed to our answer and said, "So wrong! If this were on the test, you would automatically lose 100 points."

He moved on. By now, we were quite frustrated. "Both?" someone suggested.

And at that point, I said, "Maybe it's a wibbley-wobbley sort of timey-wimey thing..."

Finally, the teacher had had enough. "The answer to the first part does not depend on vertical or horizontal motion because it's given in the problem! The problem determines the time!"

Cue a groan from the whole class. At least, he proceeded to let us out a few minutes early. You can never go wrong with that.

Even so... *bangs head* ...I do not need another fandom to eat up my life. Do you know how hard it is to cope with so many already?

A Glorious Mishmash of Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, and Some Other Stuff

Yes, the Other Stuff is important and must be billed. Or, in other words, I have found the geek section of FailBlog and am now supplementing my fandoms with funny pictures and other good stuff. Heaven knows I do not need to get on Tumblr. It's a black hole, filled with captions. I do not need to go there...

Does the light side have chocolate chip cookies? That's the most important question.

This is LEGO's and so it is automatically adorable. (How is Darth Vader held up?? With invisible tape???)

I do not remember him from Goblet of Fire. Granted, I watched that movie all of one time and probably had no idea who David Tennant was at that time. But now I know the rest of the story and can appreciate this.

I also have that gif of the Doctor from which that last picture is taken. :)

Now I will think of this every time. HEADCANON ACCEPTED!

It has a point. (Are the two second-from-the-right pictures from Game of Thrones? The guy on the bottom looks vaguely familiar and I can think of nothing else.)

R2D2 appears in Star Trek Into Darkness. Betcha didn't know that, did you?

Now this is pumpkin carving taken to the next level!

This explains everything. Grumpy Cat has millions of clones and they inhabit the Daleks.

Incidentally, our paper ran a short article on Grumpy Cat today. Apparently, her real name is Tardar Sauce (sic) and she is now advertising for Purina. Or something like that. I was astonished that they had actually found the real Grumpy Cat, but also weirdly delighted. Yay Grumpy Cat!

At first I was inclined to be offended, and then I saw, "EXCOMMUNICATE," and started giggling. Catholics do have the best sense of humor.

I'm also surprised that the 'cardinal' Daleks are wearing birettas. I'm even more surprised that the 'pope' Dalek is not wearing the three-layered tiara, but rather an ordinary (if white and bejeweled) miter. Go figure.

Mishmashes of music with any of my favorite fandoms are always acceptable. However, just know that '9/8' and '7/8' are not actually called compound time and complex time. They're generally called... just '9/8' and '7/8' time. Surprise, surprise.

Still laughing hysterically over this one. I have such a weird sense of humor. I am also one of those weird people who laugh instead of groaning at bad puns...

Oh, No - I Found Star Trek Pictures!

Time for another fandom to invade my blog!

Firstly, I'd like to admit that I can't decide if I like Spock or McCoy better. I mean, how do you choose? Logic has its appeal... but on the other side you have Karl Urban. I mean...

*cue Gollum voice* "That's not fair."

That reminds me. I need to revise my list of things to do when I finally get to sit down and watch the reboot (Amy... I'm counting on you...). (1) Cheer every time McCoy is on screen. (2) Count the number of times Spock says the word 'logic' or any derivative thereof. (3) Count all the lens flares! (4) Squee over Chekov's cuteness. Because, "I can do zat!" is the most adorable thing of all time.

Yes, I found that clip. Let me see if I can find it again...

Adorable. Adorkable, yes, maybe. But mostly adorable. You just want to squeeze him and pat him on the head and take him home with you.

Um... I think it's actually technically spelled 'Khan', but we'll let it slide this time...

This will never not be funny.

Look! It's both Kirks!

I sense an epic crossover fanfic in the making...

 

It's good to see that they have that whole condescending Vulcan eyebrow thing down to a science, isn't it? XD

 

I need to stop picking up fandoms. I have enough as it is. They're eating up my life. Time to find something to do slightly more constructive...

MORE Pictures!

I'm guessing this roadwork was done in Gotham, and that somebody was looking for Batman to save the day. How this would be more visible than a sign up in the sky, I'm not sure. And while we're on the subject, what do they do when they need Batman and the night sky is not cloudy? Or what happens if they need him during the daytime?
Comic book writers. Their stuff is as full of plotholes as Swiss cheese.

Refrigerators... no longer just stainless steel - they now come in carbonite!! Order now, and get the exclusive Jabba Snack Dish for free!

I am still laughing hysterically over this one, and it's the third or fourth time I've looked at it! Poop on their cats... lol.

I would dub this a hilarious case of 'following the letter of the law, not the spirit'. However, the bathroom was cleaned very well, I must say. The paper flag and the note of, "WELCOME TO AMERICA - enjoy your stay!" are especially nice touches. Harry Potter on the toilet seals it. Lol.

Couch art. Now, that is a new concept. I have written on couches myself, but never to this extent. This is actually some seriously good art. How on earth was it drawn? I don't think you can get that kind of precision with just your finger.

Even so... that is a really good Gandalf. It's just amazing how it could be managed on that kind of material. The injuction on the seat cushion takes the cake, though. "You shall not sit." That meme is up there with, "One does not simply..."  Everyone knows of it (or should) by now.

That would be something awesome to try sometime. I can just picture the reactions of the other people in the store... or the headlines in the paper the next morning, lol.

Now this is one piece of fandom merchandise I do not require. However, it is very clever and seems to be quite well-crafted. It's amazing the things you can get with a Middle-earth theme to them nowadays... which I am not complaining about at all!

I'm fairly sure this wins an award for the most awesome nursery of all time. Just sayin'.

S'mores. WIN.

I've never even heard of or seen 'pppp' in musical notation before! Gah! And how can you do a tremolo with only one note? I'm assuming this is not for piano... Even so, what do you call 'pppp'? 'p' is piano, since that's Italian for 'softly' or 'quietly', and 'pp' is pianissimo, and 'ppp' is pianississimo, or something like that, so does that meant that 'pppp' is pianissississimo?

Goodness.

Must remember to bring this up with my music teacher tomorrow.

Multifandom Funny Stuff

Is 'multifandom' even a word? ...Hmm. I doubt it. Well, I have just coined it. Feel free to use it now as you like.

Not sure what the platypus has to do with anything... At least I can confidently identify the Doctor, the Supernatural crew, and (of course) John and Sherlock. I even know that it is the Tenth Doctor. Haven't I learned so much, Amy?

And it is all your fault. XD

Now, presenting: If Sherlock Went To Hogwarts

 

For some reason I can't get the picture to enlarge. Well. The source appears to be yourpotterlock on Tumblr but I cannot say for sure as Internet Explorer has decided to not let me open any new tab. It's rather cruel that way.

 

 

All you need is something about playing Solitaire on there and you will have me in a nutshell. Okay, I don't cry that much. But it gets there.

 

Martin Freeman dancing in Buckingham Palace, apparently.

 

 

 

 

And now presenting:

 

| Sherlock's disregard for furniture is wonderful.

 

| | Wait, this is not normal? I thought this was how everyone used furniture.

 

| | | THE FLOOR IS LAVA, JOHN.

 

I don't even know what I am doing anymore here.
