Got Fuzz?

Ok. We all know that I'm THE seething ball of estrogen here at the Ministry, but you'll have to indulge me my girlish shrieks over the star of Shaun of the Dead, Simon Pegg. I saw him LIVE AND IN PERSON not 5 feet away from me on Friday night. No. I didn't rugby tackle him down asking him to marry me, but he wasn't much bigger than me. I could have done it if there weren't a table and some chairs in the way.

This weekend I saw a sneak preview of Mr. Pegg's new film, Hot Fuzz. I absolutely adore Shaun of the Dead and have a right dead crush on our hero, Nicholas Angel. After all, he can leap fences like nobody's business, and the handspring stunts in the greenhouse, set my heart a flutter. Two gun, Johnny Woo action with Nick Frost. It's more than a girl can bear. Yes, he's a twit. A fascist adherent to the law, but the film is hilarious.

In a word, BRILLIANT.

It will be opening in the US soon. Meanwhile, any of you minister lads have his original show, Spaced on DVD?

Then why didn't you provide one, GL?

Maps, I was not mocking the Jello Shot. I was mocking Johno's inability to maintain consciousness after ingesting a couple.

For you, GL, do this: log into the perfidy control panel. Open a new post. Upload the pic. Enter it into the post like always. Copy the img link, and paste it into the comment box. Or, just type img src="" (with angle brackets around it) and put the url of the pic in between the quotey things. Then you can be cool like this guy:

B,
Why don't you add a "seething ball of estrogen" category?

Don't ask me what it looks like...

GL,

I'm sure you've seen it. But it probably wasn't directed at you. In any case, now that Buckethead has a daughter, I'm sure we'll see it in about 15 years.

What category would it even be? And doesn't he have rights to edit someone else's posts anyway?

At least make that another tag line. Oh. and I have one for you. 'Cutlery King'

Clearly, this post would have to go in the "entertainment" category. I think we might hold off on creating a "Seething Ball of Estrogen" category, though.

I live in fear of fifteen years from now, btw.

Any minister can edit any post. We just don't, generally. I do usually follow Ross around with a broom, adding categories to his posts.

Johno could use the Seething Ball of Estrogen category to describe how he feels after eating Jello shots. I could perhaps use it to describe my Barry Manilow double live album.

Mock not the jelloshot. Lest they eff you up. I know a guy who makes them with pure grain and an extra gelatin packet. You can light them on fire in their plastic cups.

10

I propose a new rule: any time someone mentions pure grain alcohol, he or she must also provide an image of General Ripper from "Dr Strangelove".

Maps,

I've got movie passes to see a screener Tuesday night in Dallas. I'm psyched.

BBC America has been airing episodes of Spaced (not sure how many seasons. 2 or 3?) late at night, and I've seen several of the episodes (with a few more waiting for me on my DVR). Good stuff, though they might take a while to get into for some people.

12

What are DVDs?

Btw, somebody forgot to assign a category to this post. And it wasn't me.

Looking through the list of quotes:

Brian: I see my ex girlfriends. Well, not so much "see" as "watch"...

Tim: You're scared of mice and spiders, but oh-so-much greater is your fear that one day the two species will cross-breed to form an all-powerful race of mice-spiders who will immobilize human beings in giant webs in order to steal cheese.

Bilbo Bagshot: What about the Ewoks eh? They were rubbish. You don't complain about them.
Tim: Yeah but Jar Jar Binks makes the Ewoks look like... fuckin'... Shaft.

Maps,
That's the sort of thing that's *much* too cool for me.

What do you mean, "what category would it be?" It would be the Seething Ball of Estrogen category, right there with Crazy Foreigners and War and Unmitigated Gall and all the others.

We would use the Seething Ball of Estrogen category when posting about something so girly it doesn't belong anywhere else. Like if Patton wanted to write about his dreamy Shaun Cassidy pillowcase, say, or his collection of Tiger Beat covers, he would use that.

I think we all have authority to change each others' posts. But even if we don't, B surely does.
