Here was the toast-type thing I gave at my wedding reception: "I saw you in the classroom today. As the sun came from behind the clouds, a burst of brilliant light caught your hair, it was haloed in front of me. You turned, your eyes flashed fire into my soul, I immediately read the words of Dostoyevsky and Karl Marx, and in the words of Albert Schweitzer, 'I fancy you.'"

No lie.

I had mentioned the 71 year old lady at my store who fell and the company was so shitty to her, fired her, told her no pension and escorted her out the door like a thief, she hired the huckster lawyer whose superbowl ad I posted...$2.5 million. Seriously she deserved it, they were utterly horrendous to her. Now I just need her to give me a teensy weensy bit. I made all my coworkers swear that if any of us won the big lotto we would stand at the front door and offer $100k to all employees to turn around and go home and never come back.

To be fair, I use cilantro in just one thing.

 

My internet is acting screwy but I found quite a few on youtube, including "Horse Heir." They seem to be full episodes, though :)

 

I'm totally up for Jericho watch. We could get a schedule together and get the word out in other threads. I'm about to be down to GOT, Silicon Valley, and few bad shows I'm watching only as a completionist.

 

 

I've found them all online at some point or another. I'm seeing Mad Men through as a completionist. If we watch Jericho can we make a drinking game? shout "Morgan" every time Lenny James appears. (we will be drunk quick) cuz he's not off and on like on WD. I watched most of the first season of Silicon Valley, god help me but TJ Miller has grown on me. 

 

There will be cilantro in my house next week, I shant use it but it's part of a meal, I shall discard. I also will discard apricot chutney. 

 

 

I think I'll try to convince the Mr. to watch Jericho with me. I watched the first ep of Twin Peaks today. I guess I'm used to the subtleties of Bear McCreary, because that music made my ears bleed. I get what they're going for, but dang. Annoying.

We could do it 4eps a week, or whatever instead of a marathon. We could start a forum, with episode threads, character threads, world-building etc. I'm quite sure we can draw in more people from other forums. Halycyon Days, are you listening? OR do I make a formal request thing?

What do you all like for a schedule? Please tell!

I did one for a different show in the New Show Forum. It was up in just a few days. I would nominate someone who has seen the show to maybe start it as you need to start with multiple threads with their titles ready to go.

 

Does Skeet Ulrich not age? Holy crap.

 I also liked Skeet Ullrich. /runs away.

 

morgankobi: bless you my child; I followed your tip and the request is already up!! THANK YOU!

 

I also like to watch Skeet Ulrich; with Lennie James on the same show it's all awesomeness. No, Ulrich does not age...for that matter neither does James. Radiation is gud 4 u.

 

Drinking game? How about yelling "Clear" everytime Morgan/Hawkins appears? When Jericho was airing live, we would yell Toe Pick! every time D.B. Sweeney showed up on screen.

HOLY CRAP YAY!

I put request in at 7:29 and at 7:31 new show request was approved!!!!

We are a go!

Thanks again to moderator SilverStorm for the green light!

I submitted several thread ideas which will be there when it comes up, plus we can add more at that time!

Hope to see you there and tell your peeps on other show forums they might want to join us.

I'm having an epic struggle with futility today. I'm all broken, fell down twice in 2 days and my knees and back are killing me. I want to crawl in a hole and hug my sqwiwwel nuts. 

 

I remember one of the chicks on Jericho was Opie's wife on SOA. And I didn't remember NUTS being a big thing but I remember reading about the fans sending tons of nuts to save the show.

HalcyonDays should probably warn poor SilverStorm. We're a handful :)

LOL

I won't be your Jericho forum mod; I don't mod all (or even most) of the forums I create; I'd go to lala land if I did - too many!

However, I do mod forums such as Arrow & Game Of Thrones, to name just a couple, so I'm well acquainted with feisty/passionate fans ;) 

 

The forum will be up later today :)

I pray for those who mod GOT. Tis not for the faint of heart (and I don't even post there, I only read)!

 

Re: Jericho

I am eager to find out why the nuts!

Wow; just being mod on GoT is not for the faint of heart. Lotsa luck with that!

Later today! That was so fast, thanks very much we are going through withdrawal here without some kind of apocalypse.

Appreciate the efficiency!

I used the same phrase at the same time! Jinx! But it's the first thought that comes to mind. I wouldn't want to be in close quarters with those animals, lol.

In fact, normally it would have been done already; it's only taken this long because of a 4 day Easter weekend here in the UK. :D

I loved Jericho.

 

Still haven't forgiven CBS for pulling the plug on it.

 

Skeet Ulrich and Lennie James? Doesn't get much better than that.

Just an update; the Jericho Forum is up already thanks to mod Silverstorrm and our moderator is Curious Parker.

 

If you do not have box sets or get netflix the episodes are available on TV.com and also on Amazon for 1.99 per episode and Vudu for 1.99 per episode.

 

I'd like to start a rewatch on this Saturday, April 11th. But I don't want to be real federal about it. It would be fun though to be in sync a bit on the episode/story progress. It starts easy then rapidly starts adding shitstorms. So I hope we can keep our snark weapons sharp over the summer!

ROFLMFAO!  I was coming here to sulk and cry because you all are going to be watching Jericho and I'll have no one to talk to and then I saw this.

 

Day? Made.

 

I'm with you, AngelaHunter.  Even if I wanted to watch something not on my teevee (which I do NOT!), $1.99 buys me much needed some cat food.  Must be nice to be able to throw it away so blithely on each and every episode of an old TV show.  I, too, used to spend like a drunken sailor.  No more.   :~)(

HELP ME!!!!!! /runs around flapping wildly. ONG OMG GROSSEST THING I EVER SAW.

Watching some show and the mom is seeking milk for her coffee and of course someone put empty carton back so she picks up her kids cereal bowl And pours leftover Milk in coffee. I think I'm having a panic attack. My neck must be held! Or my head will rattle off me neck. Aaaaaaaack!

Thanks, but I HAVE seen ALL the episodes - on my teevee, which is the ONLY place I watch stuff, in case you missed my numerous memos on the subject and my ALL CAPS disclaimer.  :-D 

 

I can barely tolerate quick YouTube clips of cute animals on my computer screen, so please stop trying to convert me - it WILL NOT WORK!

This from a person who watched someone's leg hacked off with a rusty garden tool and woman's pregnant belly cut open in front of us? Who sat through Rick ripping the jugular vein out of a man's neck with his TEETH? Who watched a zombie standing there as its rotten guts spilled all over the street after Rick's run-by disembowellment? I could go on and on with examples of extreme grossness and cereal milk in coffee is what puts you over the edge? :p

 

But I understand! We all have our "That's going too far!" moment. Mine is Daryl eating a worm. I have been permanently grossed out and  traumatized by that.

 

I'd love to know what has been the "Oh fuck, no they didn't!" moments for others here.

"The video you have requested is not available for your geographic area."

 

What else is fucking new?

I didn't miss your mentions, I was just putting it out there. I had to try, and at least maybe other people can see a free way to view.

no hard feelings. I don't pay to view cos I bought the box set years ago.

There are lots of ways to cast video from a computer to a TV screen. That's how we watch much of our TV. We use PlayOn and PlayLater. Another "just putting it out there" post. :)

 

So I've been told, but this old disabled technophobic dinosaur barely managed to turn her computer and TV/DVR on, and they've been that way ever since.  No kids to fix stuff for me, either, so I am fucked six ways from Sunday.  It's all good, though - there isn't a lot I miss, and I do need to sleep a few hours here and there!  I already have to jettison unwatched stuff from my DVR whenever there's another marathon I need to get lost in.     :-)

  • Love 1

I knew you'd say that! I enjoy helping people set up electronics, so if I ever get to SoCal all the way from south Georgia, I'll get ya fixed up. ;)

 

Be careful with those promises, my friend - because there's a dust-covered VCR/DVD machine and a brand new printer-in-a-box that have been sitting around smugly mocking me for years.   One of those little music thingys with earbuds, too (is that an IPod?)!  Ghosts of Christmases past ...  You would be HORRIFIED upon entering my Grey Gardens WestWorld / Casa de Deplorable!   :-)
