Two Discoveries Make a Post

[akirlu]

1. Especially when wearing a clean white shirt, but most any time really, if you've gone and left your wild blueberry yogurt sitting in a warm sunny spot on your desk long enough that the still-sealed foil top has begun to bulge with trapped expanding gasses, then when you finally open said yogurt, point the foil away from yourself. That, or start a campaign to get yogurt manufacturers to emboss the foil tops of their product with "This side towards enemy". Luckily, some shirts can be worn backwards pretty well, except where the tags itch against your clavicle.

2. I want to bear Malcolm Tucker's tattooed love child. Perhaps it's all those misspent hours on alt.peeves, but I am in starry-eyed, dumb-struck love with the epic, glorious, fecund efflorescence of graphic profanity that is the PM's "all-swearing eye." If you've never watched the marvelous political satires In the Loop and In the Thick of It, go forth and rectify your oversight immediately.

I saw In The Loop in the theater and really liked it. I haven't seen In The Thick of It, it's not available on DVD. Is it on BBC America?

[akirlu.livejournal.com]

Dunno about BBC America. It's available on Region 2 DVD, though. Or, of course, the torrentially illicit internets.

We could probably lend you a disc if you like...

Someone else who's done the Great Yogurt Explosion Adventure!

Also, I love Peter Capaldi, and now I suppose I shall have to look for In the Thick of It.

Yes, it's fabulous getting spooged all over your front, but one doesn't normally expect the ejecta to be purple.

With respect to In the Thick of It, the trick may come down to hacking your DVD player -- it's a Region 2 disk.

A lot of more "modern" DVD players can't be hacked, so I've found running DVDs through AnyDVD first helps.

Just as Thatcher's government "owned" Sir Humphrey, Blair and Campbell own Maclom Tucker - I wonder what horrors the Lib-Con alliance will birth...

Well, it will be interesting to see what the Tory-Lib love fest produces, but in the mean time I'm very happy to catch up on the historical documents.

I always open little containers away from me. It's a lesson I learned from the tiny tubs of tartar at Ivar's.

BTW, happy birthday.
