The fireworks scared the crapo out of me on Thursday in TO!
There was a survey I saw on the news about which Canadian would you most want to invite to your Canada Day BBQ (dead or alive)? #1 - Terry Fox #2 - Celine Dion #3 - Michael J. Fox ...dead last - Justin Bieber
And I typically am a fan of my neighboUr 2 hrs to the north. But I'm currently considering a suggestion to Obama for a declaration of war over this Justin Bieber nonsense. I honestly don't think it would be overreacting at all.
btw, I FINALLY figured out how my AC works. After reading the instruction manual--and it being wrong. I ended up bashing it with my hand and somehow it started worked. I either fixed it, or have started to generate the powers of talking to electronics. Like Micha from S1 of Heroes. Ahhh, remember when that show was good?
Speaking of good shows, Buffy the Vampire Slayer isn't one of them.
Kim, can't you tell by the impassioned listener feedback we've been getting that Buffy the Vampire Slayer is something special? Maybe you haven't seen it. Just remember, season one was created for pre-teen girls. Every 12 year-old I've showed it to loves it. You'll see the brilliance in season two. I promise.
I had a roommate that was a hardcore Buffy fan and I eventually gave in and watched. If you make it through that first season and a half it is solid. But that first season is work... awkward painful work. You will cringe and wince.
Dr Horrible's first episode was good. NPH and Felicia Day are awesome and Nathan Fillion is a funny dude. Bad Horse was great but that's clearly a lend from Ben Edlund (Whedonverse and Supernatural writer).
whedon's not my thing. and he gets a lot of obsessive people as fans who are way too into, and protective of, whedon actors and shows.
i'll try not to get too into lest i offend but, from twitter, it sounds like at least one of them is e-mailing your podcast. :p
But you get these kinds with any fandome. I can't wait to ask Kim if she and Aimee ever felt like they couldn't be honest about how they felt about Lost in fear of negative feedback.
I could have gone to Canada Day London, but then I thought FUCK THAT SHIT!
Actually, I just didn't feel very well.
A friend went and since it was the British version of doing something big and excellent it was just a bit shit as we don't believe it's worth making an effort. He bought a bison burger for £5 that tasted like a microwave hamburger you can get from a local store for £0.79.
Apparently the Plastikman set was the only actual good thing.
I've been a bit lucky with nutty fans doing the podcast that I do because Doctor Who isn't like those other shows, it's had ten changes of lead actor, seeral more of the supporting characters as well as the writers and executive producers of the show and has gone through a series of very distinct eras so you WILL get people who will only like the few adventures with the Fifth Doctor, Nyssa, Tegan and Adric, and basically hate the 18 years before and the 19 years after.
They're mad old sods, Who fans.
But Russell T. Davies/David Tennant fans are still the worst and most Whedon-fan-esque. Don't you dare suggest a Rusty plot is stupid or too mawkish, lest you be labelled a homophobe who has no soul.
chris, just imagine being in a room with several thousand screaming RTD/Tennant fans when RTD/Tennant take the stage. fangasms every where. one lady proclaiming Simms "the best Master ever."
oy.
but still not as bad as some Whedon fans i've encountered. :p
of course, there are Whedon fans i'm friends with (like our dear Steph) who are completely normal.
but there are others who get angry when you say you don't like a Whedon show. or become genuinely angry (and vocal) at a Comic Con moderator because Eliza Dushku didnt speak as much as Zoe Saldana and SIGUORNEY WEAVER did in a panel (possibly because Dushku was saying 'holy crap. that's SIGUORNEY WEAVER!' to herself the whole time).
i guess there are weirdos for all sorts of shows. there's probably someone who lives with a cardboard cutout of Naveen Andrew and hand feeds him grape jelly.

Remember that time Canada had to come up with a bs holiday because The 4th is so fuckin boss?
J/K, everyone knows Canada Day > Independence Day.
To take it even a step further...
Independence Day OR Canada Day > Bastille Day!
Burgers, dogs and beer or cheese, wine and baguettes?
I'll take the former.
Oh, and happy North America (except Mexico) day everyone!
Can't wait to hear the KA-BLAMO of exploding fireworks. I've got a bag of M-80's and an itchy lighter finger!

What's a "canada?"
canadian is a type of bacon, jon.
what nobody wants too BBQ with Tricia Helfer or Elisha Cuthbert? what's wrong with Canadians?
my number one canadian to BBQ with might be kim. she's made (and survived) a bacon explosion. :)
/KA-BACON!
I'd totally invite Ryan Reynolds to my BBQ.
And then maybe Kim.
Personally I wouldn't mind having a dead Justin Bieber at my BBQ.
Nathan Fillion is my favorite Canadian.
Happy early fourth of July. Happy belated Canada day!
Hahaha. I had to google who Terry Fox was.

if we take over canada, then we'd have to pay more for our all our Vancouver made TV. you're safe, canada. for now. :p
happy fourth of july! grill some stuff and drink and swear and blow shit up!
Just listened to the newest Never Not Funny and Matt Belknap called Jesse Thorn the Podfather. Course of action if any?
My fourth has been pretty lame.
kablami.
Same here Ralph.

NO. Kim, you can't judge it from it's first season!
stevi loves that show, but i am not a weadon fan, so i cant stand when she watches it.
yeah, not a Whedon fan over here. the casting is usually pretty great though.
i am a Carlton Cuse fan though. besides Nash Bridges. but Brisco County Jr and LOST were good!

Palmer, not even Firefly or Dr Horrible?

Yes, P. He's even complaining about my accent. I think he's just nuts.

Why do I do this fucking show again?
Ah yes - because Matt Smith fans are excellent.
Yo Bloggo's! Wdup?!

What a way to honor both the United States and Canada.
