apocalypsosSo I was rambling along ye olde friends list, and I got to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rashaka, who linked to inkbug, who had pretty shiny pictures.
I was going over the pretty-boy pictures when I hit this one --
This photo pisses me off. No, seriously. 'Cause one of my best friends in high school looked vaguely like this. Until later, when he lost weight and worked out and got a haircut and looked exactly like this. This is, of course, when I mention the whole coming-out-of-the-closet part. Damn it.
And then there's this photo --
Now I have been plotting at work all day and so the second I saw this photo, I squealed, "Aidan!" Because maaaaaan, that right there? That is one of my characters in a nutshell -- a man so sexy you'd screw that photo if someone handed it to you.
In that line of thought came this photo --
Yes, hobbits. Now, take out Sean and Billy (sorry, boys), and the two left over are so two other characters in my story.
The Elijah resemblance for Arthur, I can deal with. The Dom-ness of Charlie? Well, I tried to explain to Charlie that he absolutely was not physically based on Dominic Monaghan and besides, I've already got a character who looks like Dom. Charlie promptly waved his character chart under my nose and reminded me that using Dom as a physical base this time around meant many hours of imagining Dom in a Speedo with a body like an Olympic swimmer. Now, that was just dirty fucking pool, I tell ya, no pun intended.
Not that it means I won't listen, because ... well, I mean, really. Dom. Speedo. Do the math. Quite preferably, the chapter on subtraction.
********
Tests Confirm Mad Cow Came From Canada .... Oooo! Wait, wait, I've got two jokes for this one.
1. How You Know Your Mad Cow is Canadian -- Two words: "Moo, eh?"
2. Oh, no! The terrorists are trying to get at us through the cattle! Ahhhhh!
Okay, so they're lame jokes. Did I claim they were good ones? Nooooo.
