Title: Brandon is like...
Post by: The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers on August 31, 2006, 05:31:27 PM
Shrain just told me she thought Brandon was like Belle (from Beauty and the Beast). I assume from this she thinks he's an insufferable snob who sings cheesy songs. Or maybe she just thinks he's a girl.

D'oh!! SE, you bad, bad man!

I'd say "prove it," but you'd just paste our IM convo. Blasted cut and pasting trick.....

No blueberry pie for YOU!

you already said the office gypsy ate it, so I don't feel bad about that at all.

I always found EUOL to be more of Gaston/Cogsworth mix.

really? I'm not sure I see much Gaston in him. Quite a bit of Sebastion, however. He's an inter-movie personality.

It's a little knowen fact that EUOL only eats raw eggs.

oh, well, that *does* make him like gaston. Except that no one spits like gaston.

Cogsworth?? Nah, Cogsworth is too pessimistic and "proper." Egotistical, sure, but...

Oh, wait, I'm incriminating myself. So, um, in my defense, I actually brought up our dear EUOL when I was arguing with SE about how Belle *isn't* as snooty as SE was making her out to be.

I believe my exact words were... "To me, she just came off as one of those dreamy types who can't ever notice those around them. They often come off as snobs. Like Brandon, come to think of it."

So there... I was only saying they're both highly imaginative folks, that's all. ;)

EEK!  You are all very bad people!  Now I have the awful image of Brandon in a yellow ball gown!  Someone will pay for this!

By the way, does anyone know where I can buy more exclamation points?  The last paragraph used up all of mine.

I've got Gaston's furry chest.  Does that count?

But do you have Zak's "Robin Williams" hairy chest?

You do? :o That means you're the one who flayed Gaston! Well, I think that's atrocious. Besides, hairy chests just don't look so great under low-cut ball gowns. Noooo siree. To each his own, however.

Oh, and SE, must you always put words in my mouth? I'll let it slide, though, seeing as how those particular words were so astute. ;)

new photographic evidence prooves that Brandon really is like Belle

Though I can see where you get that "Gaston" thing, Sprig.

Bwwahahahahaaaaa! Sigyn, behold how prophetic you and I have become! My, my but that photo is... strikingly disturbing.  Hold on, I must go laugh some more.....

*ahem* Well, I *do* declare! I had no idea how warped those ninja monkey poparazzi could be, SE.

Edit: you know, now that I have stopped giggling, I fear that this image will haunt our nightmares for-ev-er. *shudder*

That is one of the most-disturbing things I've seen in a long time.  Not quite Man Fay . . . but close.

Wow, I just have to say that is quite a sight.

SE, this game which you play, it is an endeavor in which two can participate.

That's funny, I walked into Brandon's room at Worldcon and he was dressed just like that, getting ready for the Hugos.

Other than the sense that this it the most wrongest thing I have ever seen I have to mention how similar this thread is to the dance-off thread.

Only far, far, far[/i], more disturbing.

Contest? Did somebody say contest? Hmm. Well, given that an offhanded comment of mine led to putting EUOL in a skirt, I, too, feel it best not to hide my true self any longer. Consider this my maiden entry in the TWG Face Off 2006.

Now, if this doesn't get me a date, I dunno what will....

Suddenly I feel like contributing to this thread, even though it is so wrong.

Still, in investigating EUOL's family, I traveled to many distant lands, faced hunger, thirst, and perilous danger so that I could take this photo: Sprigan in the Mist.

Next time you decide take such risks, 42, let me take out a life insurance policy on you before you go.

I don't think that will get you the kind of dates you want, Shrain.


Though it may get you the edible kind.
Title: Re: Brandon is like...
Post by: Shrain on September 05, 2006, 02:01:50 PM
Precisely, my dear ninja-monkey-cartel friend. Good dates are hard to find, and if I am Lord of the Jungle, I think I am entitled to some darn good dates. ;)

Oh, and Spriggan, how does bamboo taste?
Title: Re: Brandon is like...
Post by: Spriggan on September 05, 2006, 02:14:39 PM
Ok, really..this is too disturbing.  And if this thread gets much worse I might just delete the whole thing so I never have to remember it.

I want the Spriggo-Panda to be our new unofficial mascot. I might hang that up in my cubicle.

Post by: Shrain on September 05, 2006, 05:32:19 PM
Now you've done it Fell... Sprigg's sure to delete the thread now. Hooray!! I mean... oh dear!

P.S. I have it on good authority that SE is plotting something further. (Dr. Strangefate says: so... who should get insult next?) Hurry, Sprigg, Fell, somebody... before it's too late!

I feel very lucky that I have never released my picture, and only a handful of you know what I look like. HoM on the other hand has his own website; complete with pictures...
