drop dead boring

Goddammit, only for Christopher fucking Kirkpatrick would I sit thorough a banal cattle-herd like the Miss Teen USA pageant. I spent the first half hour cussing Chris out for being on the thing, but then he started snarking and being his usual self and I calmed down some. Plus, I discovered a Gilmore Girls rerun on another station and dosed myself with occasional bits of Rory, so that cheered me up.

Rather irrationally, I was cheering for Miss Wisconsin purely on the strength of her cute black-and-white polka-dotted outfit for the "My Personality! In Clothing Form!" segment. After that, she kinda sucked. But equally irrationally, I didn't want Kentucky or California to win because they didn't hug anybody when they were chosen as finalists. Goddammit.

Didn't expect Wisconsin to win, though. Like, what the fuck? Glock was all, "Shit, man--the teen pageant actually managed to surprise me!" And I fully agree. Also, I really want Chris' knit toque-thing. I'll have to find some. It's nearly September, time to dig out my five thousand toques, right?

Incidentally: I have the Simpsons on my wall now. One of the tech guys has an enormous poster of the whole cast, plus minor characters, and he decided to quiz me on them. But he kept pointing out people like Bumblebee Man and Luann van Houten and Krusty, for Chrissake, so it wasn't hard. Especially since I'm a Simpsons freak and was pointing out people like Arnie Lutz and Lurleen and Disco Stu, so he ended up slinking away in shame. Heh. Geekiness prevails! I am much smarter, smarter than you...Hibbert!

California pissed me off beacause she looked so smarmy like she just knew she had won the title when Kentucky was called as second runner up.

You sould have been at my house. My sister and I had a great time mocking the girls and loving Chris.

California was kind of...eh. I kept calling her "Malibu Barbie" for no real reason at all, except that she bugged me. I don't like Californians as a whole. It's a long-standing prejudice of mine. ^_~

But! California and Kentucky hugged *each other*. A lot. They may possibly be in love.

Disco Stu is so my favorite. And Ryan has a disconnect where if I refer to Hibbert as "Dr. Hibbert" he doesn't know who I'm talking about because "I cannot accept that that man is actually a doctor!"

Hmph. Well, I can support their dumb blonde love, I suppose.

Disco Stu is awesome! I was so happy when he showed up and tried to put the moves on Marge in the ski lodge! "Back away! Not today--Disco Lady!!"

I got the Second Season DVDs and listened to the commentary, and there's some ep where the writers are marveling over the fact that Hibbert was actually "one of the more competent professionals in Springfield in the beginning." But I like him better with the trademark chuckle and blatant Bill Cosbyness and all. ^_^

Me too. It works better, I think.

They have t-shirts here at JC Penny with the entire Simpsons cast for $10. Thought I'd share :)
