You should know that I restrained from posting a lame '300' number just now because I knew one of you would have an epic 300 post !

I really don't understand why the sequel to 300 wasn't called 301.

 

I mean, why not follow the very successful and well-established 102 Dalmatians/22 Jump Street/Four Weddings and Two Funerals model?

Yes. Thank you everyone for your hard work! You put in the effort and that's all I ask for. When you work hard, you can accomplish anything!

 

I'm so proud of you all!

Not to get all political here, but I'm pretty sure our generation's moon landing is "global warming."

As you guys, know I've been very busy given my new found fame. However, I do want to be a part of the race to 300 posts, so I will share with you a story from my first day on set directing Whites & Golds:Baby Grandpa -

 

We started shooting at 6 AM because we were trying to get 2 episodes done in one day to accomodate everyone's schedules. Things didn't start out well. Roseanne was 3 hours late and we were supposed to shoot one of her scenes first. Apparently, she plans to commute back and forth from her Macadamia nut farm. This is going to be a problem.

 

Turns out Tom Hiddleston's dad has no acting experience whatsoever. So that was a challenge.

 

Then this Pita guy shows up. Apparently he's in some Hungry Gang movie and is a big deal. Everyone on the crew just kept making jokes about how they're Hungry and they would love to eat a Pita. Pita is a bit of a Diva and locked himself in his dressing room for 3 hours and refused to come out until we contacted his spiritual advisor to come for counseling.

 

Hayes' baby spit up on everyone, and we had to do at least 5 takes for every scene. And don't even get me started on the wardrobe budget.

 

I also had a few disagreements with some of the members of the writing staff. Smokey the Bear insists on having some sort of reference to fire prevention in almost every line, which really throws the story off.

 

The little furry creatures from the Quizno's subs ads have their own language, so every script they've written is unintelligible. However, I just have a feeling that what they're coming up with is pure gold, and i don't want to just toss it off. I've contacted a representative from their home planet and have arranged to have a sort of Rosetta Stone provided so we can translate. It's going to take a year to get here though...

 

Then there's the ice cream cone. I can't even get into that now.

 

More to come.

 

This isn't canon

"I was born in 1963. Im part of a weird cohort."

 

"Gary Kasparo was the last human chess champion."

 

"I was out in silicon valley a few weeks ago."

Yes ranran. I actually get asked "are we having fun yet?" a lot and idk if its a party down reference or not... I dont think enough people watched that show for it to be a reference. But hey, as the dinosaurs say, "Its a living!"

The pretzels were nice greggy but I think I fucked up the boiling part, Swedish baking soda probably doesn't have enough pretzel units to work good. So they did not end up photogenic enough

Well, you know what they say about Swedish baking soda. "Mmm...BORK-BORK-BORK!"

 

(That's a quote from the Muppet Show, which is a television program that we used to have in the United States. I hope it isn't offensive to you.)
