Troy and I manage the amazing art of having two conversations with the same person at the same time. (why doesn't Vox have an LJ-cutian function?) Troy zegt: Oh, yeah. Who outdates even Star Trek as far as geek fandom. Len zegt: Not just geek. /Wanky/. Of course, just last week, someone posted a classic fandom wank from '39, so one could argue it is simply intrinsic to all fandom anywhere. Troy zegt: From which fandom? o_O; Len zegt: Classic science fiction, apparently. XD; Troy zegt: ... Awesome. It's nice to know the old traditions have their roots in history. Len zegt: My favourite bit of Who wankiness was when someone posted 'audience comments' on the Tenth Doctor. The anti-Tennant folk took the bait, started ranting... and then were told the comments in question came from the time of the Second Doctor. Troy zegt: See, there's only ever really been one 'bad' Doctor, in my opinion, which was the Sixth from when the BBC was actively trying to axe the show's popularity. Len zegt: And one of these days, I might actually remember the names of all the actors. At which point I will have to throw myself off a bridge. Troy zegt: Oh. Erm. There are no bridges nearby. Len zegt: http://www.journalfen.net/community/fandom_wank/1087998.html#cutid1 Troy zegt: *clicky* Len zegt: Unfortunately for me, there /are/ bridges close to me. They come 'round for tea. Troy zegt: You are terribly Dutch, after all. "Excuse me, we were just in the neighborhood and were wondering if you'd seen any water?" "... *point*" Len zegt: Yeah... you should probably not try walking around with one of those magical water sticks here. Troy zegt: "Jayne, go back to your bunk and play with your rain stick." Len zegt: Bwah. I keep forgetting you're in the Firefly Zone. Troy zegt: Waaaank. XD Len zegt: It's very comforting to know that I am part of a long and harrowed tradition. XD Troy zegt: A long and apparently /mad/ tradition with propaganda and CAPS! Len zegt: DON'T BE HATIN ON THE CAPS. OR WE CAP YO ARSE.
Troy zegt: *flails!* Len zegt: *cackles!* --
Troy zegt: Good. I'm not the only one that finds Jack a little... well, over-eager and irritating, then. Len zegt: *pats* I think you're part of a minor minority. Troy zegt: Everyone is entitled to my very vocal opinion. Len zegt: Not everyone's opinion is like an arsehole. Troy's takes up five! --
Len zegt: It's hard to be academic when your inner fangirl is being amazingly active, jumping up and down and jiggling while chanting "JACKJACKJACKJACKJACKJACK." Troy zegt: *laugh!* I've had that problem once or twice. Just as I emerged into and then quickly bowed out of BoB fandom. Len zegt: Buck. Troy zegt: Kill Bill! Fuck Buck! Jerk Kirk! Len zegt:
XD But, yeah. Apparently there's going to be some 'big reveal' about Jack in the last episode, and the forums are going insane with speculation. Which is kinda funny. Troy zegt: He's... Troy zegt: MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRRR-CUS! Len zegt: "An intergalactic man-slut!" Oh, wait... Len zegt: Nah, seriously. It's like every minute there's some guy going, "Maybe Jack is the Face of Boe?" "No! Jack was created by the Master!" "No! Jack's the Doctor's son!" Troy zegt: ... Eyew. Len zegt: I wouldn't much like the last one. If simply because Tennant and Barrowman seem to want to get into eachother's pants. Len zegt: British pants, not American pants. Troy zegt: Mm-HM. *shudder* Len zegt: *snicker* Have I actually rendered you incapable of proper vowel use? I am delighted. Troy zegt: Vowels are for the competent. I like trying to pronounce 'WFB' in front of stunned beginners.
Len zegt:
Don't mock my 1337... seeing... skillz.
Troy zegt:
You might want to close your eyes, then, as mocking /may/ become iminent if we continue this line of conversation.
Len zegt:
Troy, have we ever been in /any/ line of conversation where mocking was completely excluded as a possibility?
Troy zegt:
I'm thinking hard about that one.
Len zegt:
I always thought that was part of the charm of our conversations, in fact.
Troy zegt:
No, wait. I'm really thinking about it.
[Five minutes pass]
Troy zegt:
Nope, I'm dry. Can't actually think of a single conversation in the last however many years.
Len zegt:
Thank you.
Troy zegt:
A pleasure as always.
Troy zegt:
... Whoopsie-doodle. *snrk* See, why can't you hit on me while you're drunk?
Len zegt:
Because you're Troy. It would be weird. *pause* Which, mind, has never stopped my alcohol-fueled mind from doing so to other people, so you probably just have really piss-poor timing.
Troy zegt:
I'm quite pleased with myself, actually. Today I finalized the travel arrangements to Games Day in September, finished a couple of the characters being painted. Tomorrow I'm going out to drink copious amount, then on the last Sunday of the month I'm going to get shot at.
Len zegt:
Excellent plans, all in all.
[40 minutes later]
Troy zegt:
Did I mention I was going to be shot at? I think I mentioned it, but it didn't receive the support I was expecting.

Troy zegt:
I'll put it into perspective for you. Troy, in German flecktarn trousers and an olive 'Zombie Killer' t-shirt. In his hands is an M14, webbing about his waist and chest carrying extra magazines. He is about to plunge into the English countryside and pwnz0r bitches dressed as Americans. It is Good.
Len zegt:
The t-shirt's a nice touch.
Troy zegt:
I felt it was appropriate.
Len zegt:
I'm trying to picture it, but all I can pick up on is you, holding a gun, grinning like a loon, seconds before getting shot in the head.

Len zegt:
Of course, now the GosuCrew won't stop referring to us as the Maessen Twins...
Troy zegt:
But... you're not twins. For one, you don't look like someone hit you in the side of the head with a waffle iron.
