December 31, 2011 - A Proper Way to End the Year
- Published in 2011
Well, this was our last installment of the Onslaught for 2011, and I'd have to say we went out in... Okay, I wanted to say "style", but I'm not so sure that's the appropriate word for it. Hold tight, we'll get back to this before too long...
Steve Papagiorgio was on hand for a visit, his first since August or September of 2010. It had been a long damned time. In fact, it was on his last visit that he threatened to sue me for not really being a werewolf. Seems I lost the trial in absentia, and I've been losing money from my pay each week since. That would explain a damned lot, to be honest.... If Papagiorgio's good for one thing, it's an amusing discussion about Star Wars. Can't remember specifically how this came up, I believe there was something mentioned about a Boba Fett coffee mug, and from there something was said about Boba Fett being the worst character from the orginal Star Wars series. Joe, our long-suffering host, took immense offense at this statement... To be honest, I can't really argue with Steve. I mean, Boba Fett wasn't even IN the first movie, and he needed Vader's help to capture Han Solo (in The Empire Strikes Back), and then turned around and ACCIDENTALLY fell into the mouth of the Sarlacc (Return Of The Jedi). I mean, c'mon already, how pathetic is that? From there the whole thing turned into a discussion about favorite Star Wars characters (Chewbacca, Darth Vader, and Han Solo, pretty much in that order, for me!), and also a suggestion from Joe that Star Wars wasn't...well...
Real...
WHAT?!?!?!?!
Imagine my shock at discovering that a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, NONE OF THAT EVER HAPPENED!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
And then they told me that Santa Claus wasn't real! HUH?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
And the Easter Bunny? And the Tooth Fairy?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
It seems that we can never really avoid fart humor. Case in point, Will farting into the mic at one point. Seriously, he backed his ass right up to the mic and let it rip. Fact is, it sounded like more of a shart than a fart.
Now, intentionally doing that will generally earn you a chop from Azkath, and this time was no exception. I believe Will is probably still sporting Azkath's handprint on his back somewhere....
Tim Binder is still in the area, and he dropped in for a bit during the last hour of the show. In true Tim style, we entered a discussion about romantic comedies... Okay, not my first and foremost choice for film discussions, but some of us did happen to name a couple of films that didn't 100% suck. Personally, I thought "Good Luck Chuck" was pretty damned hilarious... But, this is Tim we're talking about, so you can imagine some of the stuff he likes to watch. Now, somewhere during Tim's visit something was said about "Dude, Where's My Car" which I really didn't like when I saw it. Thought it sucked, to be perfectly honest. Azkath completely lost it on me, though, proceeding to beat me down, and to make things worse, he stuck one of the mics down my throat. Yeah, it was the mic that Will sharted on... Now, Josh found this particularly amusing, and I threatened to expose a little secret that he revealed in between talk breaks last week. Wasn't going to do it, but he left me little choice. I told everybody that Josh was a closet Hall & Oates fan! Yeah, that didn't sit well. Oh, we've discovered that although Josh drops like a Fainting Goat when he's tickled, he reacts quite differently when his nipples are twisted . Truth is, he laughs like Goofy. Kinda creepy, to be honest...
