spirituality

He never HAD "the collar," so how can he keep it? The priest angle was something Claremont plucked from his backside. We never saw Kurt enroll in seminary, or attend classes, or get ordained, or preside over mass, or perform ANY other sacraments. He spewed the occasional lame line about Go...

Talkshow whose name I cannot recall

So Alan was on this New York-based talk show on Thursday morning--"Caroline"-something--I'll get the title for those who want it. Briefly, highlights: He and Ian McKellan went to a nudist beach in Canada. In Canada. Right. He got a mega toothache one day, and had a root canal while still i...

Nighty's gettng a girlfriend!

Can the Bus Route of Fate pass a bit too close to Kia instead? Man, those chicks are looking UG-LEEEE!!! [Can just hear Kurt thinking, "Oh, this was a GREAT time to ditch the celibacy thing. And I can see in the dark, too. Wonder if BURLAP SACKS are as itchy as they look...."] :shocked:

Alan Cumming on The Conan O'Brian Show

For one silly second it looked like "Cow-Slashing Logan." Ah, my tired eyes....

(...to go with the "Cow-Tipping Colossus" figure, right...?)

Anyway, TVGuide.com says the Alan/Conan thing'll happen on Friday the 27th at 11:35 p.m. Central Time.

Kurt's shirt

Sorry, but this is sounding like yet another "echo" scene. In the first one, wounded Wolvie is lying around in the medbay with his shirt off. Now it's Kurt. I can just imagine this bit of the franchise crunching to a halt in the third installment, when new guy Blob gets a boo-boo. "Sh...

I am feeling cranky. Be warned. Two--make that three--briefies: 1. Kurt runs like a Flying Monkey. 2. Kurt doing the flippy thing from the ceiling, ostensibly (I'm assuming) in Jean's teke thrall, looks a little too much like Toad in Jean's teke thrall. 3. Stryker and Cerebro. Now, THERE'S a heckuva...

Anyone else think that the keepers of Comicscontinuum should be savaged by lemmings for the number of popups they permit at that site? I thought my monitor was going to burst when I linked over.

Waitaminnit--this would work: Stab the President, *BAMF* him out of there, then *BAMF* in with Mystique. Erm, and hope he didn't drip on the carpet....

Y'know, this sounds more like a STATEMENT attack by the second. The Oval Office is pretty bright and well-trafficked for a swap-meet.

Just a random makeup thought: I wonder if they can put some kind of fixative on full-figure makeup like his and Rebecca's (ESPECIALLY Rebecca's), or does it get all over everything? Talk about lipstick-collar--! (Oh, and maybe ANOTHER argument for making the coat gray, instead of canvas-white.)
