SWPeter Pan Seeks SWTinkerbell

I hope it's the former.

It's For Real: So say SeanM and Atomic Amish. They say the've seen this guy on TV before. Maybe it's a put-on, but he's been at it for a long time.

If you're doing a put-on for several years running, it sort of stops being a put-on, I think.

And, just to weird everyone out even more, this guy is also looking for sex.

From dolphins, it turns out.

But only female dolphins, mind you. He doesn't have sex with male dolphins; that would be gay.

That dude is for real. I've seeen him on the teevee before (I think Conan had him on a year or two back.)

I was just getting to the point in my life where I was forgetting this guy. Now, all that work is undone.

I should prepare all of you who are seeing these images for the first time -- you will have a difficult 6-8 months of "emotional healing" ahead of you.

Apparently, if he's still looking for his Timkerbell, he hasn't been in front of a mirror in a very long time.

ACE'S CAUTION

Fat Kid,

I appreciate the contribution. But for that level of extreme disgustingness, "Totally not safe for work" isn't an adequate warning.

Please-- that kind of shot, not in the comments, ever.

Thanks for understanding.

Posted by: fat kid on November 15, 2004 06:49 PM

Ace,

Um, yeah.

I am a bit disappointed that the Peter Pan guy is news to you.

Geez, where have you been hiding?

Wait, don't.answer.that.

Anyway, you'll be happy to know that unlike many of the Kucinich-Dean-John Forbes Kerry voters who are killing themselves or are suffering from severe major depressive disorders these days, "Peter" is quite energized after learning that he is on the short list to head up the Democratic Party's new "Voters Values" initiative.

Can you say echo chamber?

Sure, I thought you could.

(Chuckling). Ummm yeah, what most of the rest of the commentors said. Been there, read that. Would rather not repeat the experience...

Er, not that I'm sticking up for Peter Pan per se, but I don't think he's the one looking for dolphin sex. Re-read what atomic_amish said:

"Petes bad-but he cant hold a candle to the guy who bangs dolphins."

I think he was trying to say that there's someone else out there who's more pathetic than this guy.

Thank you for deleting Fat Kids disgusting and in-appropriate url. That was uncalled for. Fat Kid, don't ever do that again.

Posted by: Andrea Harris on November 15, 2004 11:19 PM

Okay, just give me a tiny clue as to what was deleted--if everyone's corneas didn't just shrivel off and they can see to type. I hesitated over the link and then thought better of it.

Posted by: See-Dubya on November 16, 2004 12:14 AM

scat. I mean that as a noun, not as a verb.

Posted by: ace on November 16, 2004 12:16 AM

Ew.

Not that there's anythin--

Oh hell, that's just perverted.

Posted by: See-Dubya on November 16, 2004 12:34 AM

It was pretty much the worst picture I've ever seen. I audibly said "Oh God" when I saw it.

Posted by: ace on November 16, 2004 12:36 AM

so who is Peter Pan's stylist?

Michael Jackson?

Posted by: on November 16, 2004 01:53 AM

Awww c'mon - you guys had to pre-meditate to click on that - I intentionally didn't link the bitch though I know how to - hehe.

Which did you perverts like better: tubgirl or goatse? LOL

In any case, the disclaimer didn't say: "totally not safe for work" it said "totally not safe for anyone" though maybe I should have added "NEVER. NO. REALLY. EVER" to the end, huh?

Tubgirl is the fun game my friends and I play on eachother - finding various mirrors to it, then seeing if we can get the other guy to click on an embedded link or something. First guy to lose his job...well... loses. :P

Posted by: fat kid on November 16, 2004 02:23 AM

Wow, fat kid I am impressed(?). Not sure if that is the way to put it, but I guess congratulations are in order for getting Ace to delete a link. You have to be on the top of your game for that one. I am just glad that my eyes were saved and I didn't go there.

Posted by: BlueDevils on November 16, 2004 10:03 AM

Dude, it may be a fun game to play with your male buddies, but there are women reading this site too.

And me, as a matter of fact. That picture was way over the line. It was just fucking nasty.

People have different levels of comfort with racy or pornographic material. I sometimes allow this site to get R-Rated, but never actually X-rated.

Again, you're an esteemed contributor, but please don't post anything like that again.

Even if it was much, much softer, you should have slapped on serious warnings, and let people know what they're going to see if they enter that URL in their address bar.

Posted by: ace on November 16, 2004 01:25 PM

OK OK. Sorry sorry, to any females who might have read that. There are some crazy tasteless people out there - now you know, I'm one of them. :(

Though I'm most sorry for forcing you to deal with it Ace. Not my blog, I've gotta be more prescient of that in the future.

No more dirty links from Mike. Promise.

In more marketing for Project Hail Mary, scientists say they've found the biosigns indicating life growing on an alien planet. It's not proof, just signatures of chemicals that are produced by biological metabolism, and it could be nothing, but scientists think it's a strong sign that this planet is inhabited by something.

In a paper published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, a team of scientists announced the detection of dimethyl sulfide (along with a similar detection of dimethyl disulfide) in the atmosphere of an exoplanet called K2-18b. This is actually the second detection of dimethyl sulfide made on this planet, following a tentative detection in 2023.
Tons of chemicals are detected in the atmospheres of celestial objects every day. But dimethyl sulfide is different, because on Earth, it's only produced by living organisms.
"It is a shock to the system," Nikku Madhusudhan, first author on the paper, told the New York Times. "We spent an enormous amount of time just trying to get rid of the signal."

He means they tried to prove the signal was caused by things other than dimethyl sulfide but they could not.

Good rickroll

What? Skeleton of the most famous Musketeer, D'Artagnan, possibly discovered in Dutch church closet.
Dumas picked four names of real musketeers out of a history book, D'Artagnan, Athos, Aramis, and Porthos. So there was an actual D'Artagnan, though he made most of the story up. (Or, you know, all of it.)*

Charles de Batz de Castelmore, known as d'Artagnan, the famous musketeer of Kings Louis XIII and Louis XIV, spent his life in the service of the French crown.
The Gascon nobleman inspired Alexandre Dumas's hero in "The Three Musketeers" in the 19th century, a character now known worldwide thanks to the novel and numerous film adaptations.
D'Artagnan was killed during the siege of Maastricht in 1673, and there is a statue honoring the musketeer in the city. His final resting place has remained a mystery ever since.

A lot of Dumas's stories are based on bits of real history. The plot of the >Three Musketeers, about trying to recover lost diamonds from the queen's necklace, was cribbed from the then-almost-contemporaneous Affair of the Queen's Necklace. And the Man in the Iron Mask is based on real accounts of a prisoner forced to wear a mask (though I think it was a velvet mask).
* Oh, I should mention, Dumas says all this, about finding the names in an old book, in the prologue to his novel. But authors lie a lot. They frequently present fictions as based on historic fact. The twist is, he was actually telling the truth here. At least about these four musketeers having actually existed and served under Louis XIV.
Fun fact: You know the beginning of A Fistful of Dollars where the local gunslingers make fun of Clint Eastwood's donkey and Eastwood demands they apologize to the donkey? That's lifted from The Three Musketeers. Rochefort mocks D'Artagnan's old, brokedown farm horse and D'Artagnan is incensed.

A commenter asked which should be read first, The Hobbit of LOTR?
Easy, no question -- read The Hobbit first. It's actually the start of the story and comes first chronologically. It sets up some major characters and major pieces in play in LOTR.
Also, the Hobbit is Beginner-Friendly, which LOTR isn't. The Hobbit really is a delightful book, and a fast read. It's chatty, it's casual, it's exciting, and it's funny. In that dry cheeky British humor way. I love that the narrator is constantly making little asides and commentary, like he's just sitting next to you telling you this story as it occurs to him.
LOTR is a very long story. Fifteen hundred pages or so. The Hobbit is relatively short and very punchy and easy to read. If you don't like The Hobbit, you can skip out on LOTR. If you do like it, you'll be primed to read LOTR.
Oh, I should say: The Hobbit is written as if it's for children, but one of those smart children's stories that are also for adults. Don't worry, there's also real fighting and violence and horror in it, too.
LOTR is written for adults. (It's said that Tolkien wrote both for his children, but LOTR was written 17 years later, when his children were adults.) Some might not like The Hobbit due to its sometimes frivolous tone. Me, I love it. I find it constantly amusing. Both are really good but there is a starkly different tone to both. LOTR is epic, grand, and serious, about a world war, The Hobbit is light and breezy, and about a heist. Though a heist that culminates in a war for the spoils.

The Hobbit Challenge: Read two more chapters. I didn't have much time. Bilbo got the ring.
I noticed a continuity problem. Maybe. Now, as of the time of The Hobbit, it was unknown that this magic ring was in fact a Ring of Power, and it was doubly unknown that it was the Ring of Power, the Master Ring that controlled the others.
But the narrator -- who we will learn in LOTR was none of than Bilbo himself, who wrote the book as "There and Back Again" -- says this about Gollum's ring:
"But who knows how Gollum had come by that present [the Ring], ages ago in the old days when such rings were still at large in the world? Perhaps even the Master who ruled them could not have said."
In another passage, the ring is identified as a "ring of power."
I don't know, I always thought there was a distinction between mere magic rings and the Rings of Power created by Sauron. But this suggests that Bilbo knew this was a ring of power created by Sauron.
Now I don't remember when Bilbo wrote the Hobbit. In the movie, he shows Frodo the book in Rivendell, and I guess he wrote it after he left the Shire. I guess he might have added in the part about the ring being a ring of power created by "the Master" after Gandalf appraised him of his research into the ring.
I never noticed this before. I know Tolkien re-wrote this chapter while he was writing LOTR to make the ring important from the start. And also to make Gollum more sinister and evil, and also to remove the part where Gollum actually offers Bilbo the ring as a "present" -- Bilbo had already found it on his own, but Gollum was wiling to give it away, which obviously is not something the rewritten Gollum would ever do.
But I had no memory of the ring being suggested to be The Ring so early in the tale.
