I too will buy a sausage shirt. I bought the Loner Rebel shirt. I bought a tshirt linked in that Make Stuff comment thread featuring a picture of a lady's brother looking lascivious. (I got a lot of compliments on that one at a Lynnerd Skynnerd concert. Hey, I got a free ticket.) I promise to buy a sausage shirt. I might wear the big fake knockers under the shirt...dunno yet.
I am literally playing The Dead Meemaw Card so that you'll watch me on The Big Bang Theory tonight.
Yes, I am literally playing The Dead Meemaw Card so that you'll watch me on The Big Bang Theory tonight.
I watched and I squee-ed and then there was a 34 comment thread on my FB about the whole thing. It was convoluted. Something about touching a waitress who used to serve you at her restaurant, drinking scotch, sock monkeys, furries, my hormones and a trip to hell.
That Meemaw card...it's got some strange powers.

Squee!!
So... this is happening.
I spent a lot of time at Warner Brothers last week. While I was there, I saw my friend Kaley, and we took a silly picture: Then I remembered that I'm Evil, so we took another picture: And if you haven't solved the puzzle by now, this is why I was there: Check out how I totally play thi...
Wil Wheaton sez it's elfy time?
I'd give you a shiny nickel if you'd wear THIS. Just the top half. You don't have to wear the bottom half if it offends your sensibilities.
I'm telling you, that nickel would be sparkling.
The Best Chaos Elf, EVER.
Marc Roskin took this picture of me when we were filming LEVERAGE. It's sort of spoilery, I guess, but it's too hilarious not to share. I'm not sure when this episode airs, The Ho Ho Ho Job airs December 12 on TNT, and I am sure you're going to love it.
When Wil Wheaton talks, I listen.
for those of you wondering what time it is...
(Thanks to my friend C., who made this when I needed a bit of cheering up.)
My friend Marcia, who is all things Trek, was asked about her opinion on the newest movie. She declared it awesome in all ways.
Of course I had to lament to her on the lack of Wheaton. Now I don't have to anymore. Now I feel awesomed.
BTW, my sixteen year old son watched your Big Bang Theory and now knows why I squee'd about your appearance. At least he did up until the Monty Python-a-thon got to him.
in which a fairly major secret is made secret no more
Back in the old days, before Twitter exploded into the phenomenon that it is now, I got a message from Greg Grunberg. Greg plays Matt Parkman on Heroes (this information, which most of you don't need, is provided as a public service to the seven of you who do), and has been in every JJ Abrams pr...
So, I left off live streaming President Obama and listened to this beautiful thing.
This is why we stress education folks. So Pax and geekery can continue.
wil wheaton gets lucky ... sometimes
This was the ultimate highlight of my #PAX 2009, and watching it again just now brought tears to my eyes again. I'm not worthy of something this awesome. Thank you Jonathan, and Paul, and Storm, and Molly for making me feel cool. I <3 you guys.
My condolences Wil. There is no love like the love of a pet.
through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes
My dog Ferris, who was rescued from a bus stop in Monrovia by my wife Anne almost exactly 8 years ago, had a heart attack and died this morning. It happened very quickly, and I was with her, which is supposed to make me feel better, but at this moment all I can feel is nearly-unbearable sorrow, ...
My family plays golf. I don't. No desire to. They tell me their golfing stories and show me their golfing goodies trying to spur some interest in me.
What really put me off is some of their rules. I mean, I might play golf, but not if I have to witness my family performing this golf ritual. They have some sort of rule, something about scoring and skunking one another from hole to hole, in which if you are skunked pretty badly you have to walk to the next tee with your junk hanging out of your pants.
Which is ever so charming, I'm sure. I'll pass.
Oh, my little sister hit a wild turkey with her ball this last month. The bird was stunned but otherwise OK.
in which bad golf is played and news items are discussed
Last week, I took Nolan to the 3 par golf course I played on all the time as a teenager for a round of what we call Bad Golf. The rules of Bad Golf are pretty simple: 1. If you completely blow it on a shot, you get an automatic do-over, no penalty. 2. If you miss the cup by a distance equal to...
GAH! Next time you can't find the costume things you need, EMAIL ME! It's what I do! I can find those goggles. I can make that lab coat!
Sigh...rainbow wig.

My plan to be Doctor Horrible for Halloween was disrupted when I couldn't find the appropriate lab coat and goggles anywhere. Luckily, I had a much more disturbing Plan B.

I'm voting Obama in battleground Nevada. No air quotes needed for that one.
For you Californians, please vote no on 8 so that some of the folks in my home state of Utah can sit around, wring their hands, and prepare for the apocalypse. It'll be good for their souls.

I better just stick with coffee.

Matt Fraction asks: How soon is too soon for Mad Monster Party? There is no such thing as too soon for Mad Monster Party?, Matt. BEHOLD!

Heh. I wanna see who the VPs are going to be. This should be interesting.
Reading a blog this morning and I thought of your parenting/video games are of the devil crusade. Take a look at this little gem from Cake Wrecks.

My first showing of Rocky was in Utah...midnight showing...no toast allowed. No deflowering. Horrible. And sedate. It was wrong.
My second time was in San Diego. I walked to the show with my friend wearing a black overcoat over a bra and panties, condoms pinned into my hair. It was a long way from Utah.
Speaking of idiotic remakes, did you know they are remaking "The Breakfast Club"? (Five people are stranded at an airport in this one.) What is WRONG with people?
when you dressed up sharp and you felt alright
A few days after my sixteenth birthday, I lost my Rocky Horror virginity with my best friend, in a shitty little duplex theater in Van Nuys. I'd wanted to see Rocky since I was ten or eleven on my way to an audition and my mom drove us past a marquee advertising a midnight showing every Saturday...

But I enjoy clicking the link to renew my information sent by a bank I've never done business with. I assume my superhero identity, Chlamydia Fitzpooperson, and procede to tell them that my CC# is 5537-8008-5537-8008.
There is also something so awesome about corresponding for a few weeks with those romantic Nigerian phishers. I can be assured that they love me beauty ever and ever and still laugh at their expense. No matter how much I insist they send me plane fare to see them, they refuse!
the ghosts in the machine
SpamSieve is the best spam filter I've ever used in my life, and it's made my e-mail reading much more efficient and pleasant than it once was. A few bits of junk sneak through, but it's probably one every two or three days, instead of several daily offers for luxury Rolex watches at 80% off, or...

Did anyone else misread ToddCommish's comment as "Judge-Reinhold-in-FART-flashback"?
Just me...fine...carry on.
Have a nice vacation Wil.
wil's summer vacation
I am on vacation with my family, and I'm not especially motivated to do a whole lot of blogging. Regular posts will resume in about a week.
