You know what I need to do next year for Yuletide?

[apocalypsos]

There's a request on the list that just says, "RPF-Misc. Actors." Nothing else. And while a visit to the Dear Santa letter tells exactly which actors they want, all I could think when I saw it was, "OMG HARDCORE CRACK." I'm going to ask for that category next year and just say, "Pick whoever you want and write the crackiest idea that comes into your head. David Hasselhoff is secretly a magician! Paris, Lindsay and Britney are secretly Charlie's Angels! Ryan Seacrest is a giant chicken! Go nuts! WOOHOO."

And now I'm watching I Love the 80s and they just showed the trailer for Cloverfield and you know what? I've realized that I *adore* the situations JJ Abrams puts his characters in -- plane crash, giant monster attacking New York, soooo my type of shit -- and HAAAAATE the backstories. The more I read about the mythology behind Cloverfield, the more I don't want to go see it, which takes a lot when you're blowing shit up.

There was a request like that... with no details. The IRC chat went completely bonkers coming up with insane possibilities.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Yup, that was the one. Somebody actually went and asked who they wanted in their Dear Santa letter -- yes, I actually looked, because I started having all of these INSANELY cracky ideas and I didn't want to start bombarding the poor girl with it if it wasn't what she wanted. (Which it wasn't. *sigh*)

But next year, I'm so doing that. ON PURPOSE. \o/

See, that's cheating. If you don't specify, you get what you signed up for, damn it.

I'd love to see you do that.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

You know, I want to say that, and yet at the same time I just couldn't do it to her. And it sounded like she thought it had been listed and it hadn't, so. *shrugs*

I may do that in, like, a bunch of different RPF fandoms. George Washington as a superhero! Charlemagne as a ninja! Richard the Lionhearted shooting lasers out of his eyes! COME ON. \o/

Oh god.

I read that comment, specifically the part about George Washington shooting lasers out of his eyes, and now I have imagined an X-Men AU where he's Cyclops. Which lead to imaging the repercussions of Abraham Lincoln having a regenerative power, although I want to make that one Heroes because then he could be Kensei in disguise.

Excuse me while I go clean out my brain.

George Washington doesn't sleep. He lies in wait.

Didn't George Washington for real have stories of superhuman strength attributed to him? As in like Chuck Norris but more serious.

[pie-is-good.livejournal.com]

Aww, I wish there were no details. The blank one makes it way more hilarious. David Hasselhoff was definitely my pick for it, although I'd have wanted to talk to my uncle first to get something hilarious on him to stick in as he went to high school with him.

Oh well, I hope when the archive opens, I'll discover that some brave person wrote something cracky without looking at the person's LJ for the letter.

I'm on my fourth stocking stuffer/treat/whatever. I should stop.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I totally was going to do the Charlie's Angels thing. It probably would have been the only other stocking stuffer I did today but I would have LOVED it.

I kind of feel sorry for the chick. You just know that anybody who did check her Dear Santa and saw that comment was sorely disappointed she didn't want free-rein crack.

I had to sleep this morning after work, but I'm taking a shower, packing up my crap, and going to my mom's house and then I can write stocking stuffers ALL DAY. \o/

[pie-is-good.livejournal.com]

You know, Paris, Lindsay, and Britney would be Charlie's Angels on crack much more literally than I give it credit for.

I only feel sorry for her if she doesn't have a sense of humor. Even if I'd put that down and meant specific actors but screwed it up, I would gladly accept lots of crack stories by mistake.

They mythology will probably be glossed over anyway. Go get popcorn during those 10 minutes.

Ryan Seacrest is a giant chicken!

I. . . I think you've discovered something there. Something big. Something world shaking.

See, that's the attitude I try and fosted. I didn't care that Matthew Broderick wasn't fighting classic Godzilla. He was being chased around by a big scary monster while sexy French guy tried to seduce him and mini-monsters kept eating the expendable people. And that was okay with me.
