Memetics

[yakalskovich]

I did the zodiac quiz as well that madame_mercredi, cob_web and wiebke have done, and I'm only 33% typical for my sign (Capricorn). I will have to apply for a new zodiac sign, as one can do on Discworld, according to the Almanak.-

And then I played GoogleWar and now postulate that "buy" might be the most common word on the Internet, with 665 million incidences. Coffee, wine, man and sex are totally beaten by it, as are money, beer, sell, god, and ebay.

I challenge anyone to think of a word that can beat "buy" at GoogleWar! If there is one: you get a drabble, and have to post the winning word to your blog for a similar challenge.

hahahaha, i beat you!

Re: free

[yakalskovich]

So you did!!

Now a) you get to request a drabble and b) you go post it to your own LJ and see whether anybody comes up with a word that's more popular than "free".

Over a billion incidences! I'm impressed.

b) i already did.
a) ... i thought and thought ... i reread your interests ... and now i would like "ian mckellen vernascht james frain" (smut, nc17, optionally including gummi sweets)
:D

[yakalskovich]

You shall have it! I don't know how yet, but I'll have some sort of idea...

goody!

Re: ian/james

[yakalskovich]

It's always characters, of course. I can't do RPS; I find it too emberrassing for words.-

Re: ian/james

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

well, our impression of them is not real anyway, but i guess you mean some specific characters they played in specific films.

Re: ian/james

[yakalskovich]

Yes, I do. They were in one together, you know? But I think that pairing would squick me to the bone, plus strike much too close to home, as I know infinitely more about that "canon" now and consider James Frain a blatant miscast for that part.

Nah, I will attempt some crossover thinggie after meditating awhile about their oeuvres, and where it would bring them in some sort of memetic vicinity. What James Frain character might I slash Magneto with, for example? I might take the one from "Reindeer Games", even, which is the James Frain movie I most recently watched; only took screen caps yesterday for new icons for cpt_tantony...

ra-ra-rasputin, lover of the russian queen ...

you may treat ian and james as fictonal constructs who meet after filming. in dreams. due to rasputin's pickled penis.

no, i am completely sane, not under drugs and finally awake.

Re: ian/james

[yakalskovich]

You do want RPS, do you? Well, it's just a drabble, after all. And it doesn't have to be smut as such. And there is a certain irony of agressively openly gay Sir Ian playing the patently straight Tsar while (presumably) straight James Frain played the blatantly gay Felix...

Re: ian/james

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

not necessarily. at least not realistically.
but when i saw those two in your interest list, i just had the image of ian trying to seduce james, hehe.

take your time ;P make it longish ... or go with your original idea, i am curious.

Re: ian/james

[yakalskovich]

You might not want a longish vision-type thing that involves sexual overtones, Sir Ian McKellen, James Frain, Tsar Nicholas, and Felix Yusupov. Knowing me, the POV would be Felix's spirit being amused about the movie...

Re: ian/james

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

so that was your original idea then?
sexual undertones are fine as well!

Re: ian/james

[yakalskovich]

Under- or overtones; Felix wasn't all that picky what kind of innuendo he used.

Re: ian/james

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

hope he's not only good at the theory though!

Re: ian/james

[yakalskovich]

Felix? Hah! OMG. Don't get me started on Felix...

Re: ian/james

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

but you have to get started! go! write! don't waste time on lj!

Re: ian/james

[yakalskovich]

I'm still at work, anyway; I can't write here. SO let me waste at least a bit of my time, huh?

Re: ian/james

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

ah, to get paid for wasting time on lj ... ;P

Re: ian/james

[cpt-tantony.livejournal.com]

Heh! To waste time on LJ in order to not jump and down with suspense while the data is rebuilding itself on the hard disk I had to exchange in our very elderly server...

Where are you guys finding this zodiac thing? I'm seeing people post their results, but no link to the actual quiz thingie.

There, my dear Lady. The link comes with the blogthing piccie, but I was too lazy to post the whole frobnitz.

[nazgul-nr-5.livejournal.com]

I'm 73% virgo. Not perfect but I think I can live with that score. Now back to writing.

[nazgul-nr-5.livejournal.com]

DAMN!
I just came up with *FREE* too but someone was faster. ;-D
Now doing the zodiac thingy.

WAIT! beat ya all!

[nazgul-nr-5.livejournal.com]

Try *more*

Re: WAIT! beat ya all!

[yakalskovich]

Hehe! Great.

Now go to _inbetween_'s journal and tell her so in her post, and make her write some really, really complicated drabble. She's the lady with the Jason Isaacs fixation from Vienna, so you've got some common ground.
