Charles Atlas Shrugged

MUSH chat is silly:

Jenna says, "I reason it goes like this: a pre-orgasmic girl has sand kicked in her face in the bedroom by bullies. (Most bullies live under your bed in small piles of sand, or possibly in the hanging lamp, despite the distorted statistics of the American Bully Association.) Dr. Ruth informs her that if she just reads Charles Atlas' book, she'll be able to show up that bully. Afterwards, we have a reprise of the scene you described, and the bully goes, "Oh GOD that's terrifying" and runs away (because, let's face it, most bullies can only fit one or two fingers inside.) The girl is no longer a pre-orgasmic sex weakling, but the queen of the beach! Or somesuch."
[Deleted] giggles at .Jenna.
Solarbird . o O (Charles Atlas shrugged, and walked away)
Jenna ponders Charles Atlas Shrugged.
Jenna is not sure what kind of effects a strike by all the strong guys on beaches would have. I can sort of see that the engine of the beach would grind to a halt.
Jenna ponders. You could have Dagny Taggart desperately trying to maintain a concession stand in the face of the nasty beach politics. But it seems like---oh! Or she could be running the beach party!
Solarbird hmmm.
Jenna says, "I'm not convinced that the false market of pull could take hold properly on a typical beach, though."
Solarbird hmms.
Solarbird sends, ** Taggart. **
Solarbird sends, ** Commander Taggart. **
Solarbird verifies.
Solarbird hmmmmmmmmmm.
Solarbird sends, ** Perhaps the aliens go looking for Dagny Taggart and instead end up with Jason Nesmeth. **
Solarbird sends, ** Or rather, the other way around. **
Jenna says, "Jason Nesmeth?"
Solarbird sends, ** Galaxy Quest. **
Jenna says, "Oh! ^_^"
Solarbird | Tim Allen ....Jason Nesmith/Cmdr. Peter Quincy Taggart
Solarbird sends, ** They go looking for Commander Taggart, they find the beach of Charles Atlas Shrugged and get Dagny Taggart. Charles Atlas gets caught up in the tractor beam, refuses to use his physical powers until the end of the movie, at which time he punches Sallis in the chin, who goes down for the count. **
Solarbird sends, ** Or something like that. **
Jenna says, "Really, any plot synopsis that requires anti-Objectivist beach bunny space aliens is good with me."
Solarbird sends, ** There needs to be a bikini contest. **
Solarbird sends, ** That Dagny refuses to participate in because it is not beach party qua beach party. **
Solarbird sends, ** Because it's on an alien planet! **
Solarbird sends, ** And they have no surf music band. **
Chibi Inuyasha hees!
Chibi Inuyasha says "Dagny Taggert would be played by Annette"
Chibi Inuyasha says "Featuring the hit single: The Parasite Stomp!"
Solarbird sends openly ** That she first hears someone rocking out to at the beginning of the movie, but it's only a trash collector, whistling it as he goes wandering by. **

Meanwhile, over here, I have a long conversation with a creationist. (The original post roxx0rs, read it first.)

And finally, here's today's flower picture - it's tall!



Oh yeah, I forgot this thing, a Blogger code brick generator and interpreter. It makes this!

goddammit

The HD in my laptop seems to be failing. If I run the computer flat, it's fine. If I, say, put it in my lap and run it at a bit of an angle, I get the endless-reseek hard drive noise and the system grinds to a near-total halt. (That is, when there's a flareup of this behaviour. It's not continuous yet.)

God dammit we so cannot afford this right now.
