apocalypsosPimp something.
Hell, pimp anything. Anything that you think needs more love or gets love but could always use a wee bit more.
TV shows, movies, books, comics, websites, LJ user, LJ communities, fanfic, writers, songs ... anything you want. (Just make sure you pimp it in such a way so people can get their grubby little paws on it. Tell where it can be seen, link to it, etc.)
Go on, you know you want to. ;)
As for what I'm pimping ...
1. The 4400 -- No, seriously. Why are so few people I know watching this? For crying out loud, this show makes me happy. It's got superpowered people and neat little romances and it's ten dozen kinds of awesome. It's on USA Network on Sunday nights at 9 and midnight, and the first season is also on DVD (for only sixteen bucks, depending on where you pick it up).
2. One Big Happy Pantheon -- It's a Dogma/Good Omens crossover. Did you hear that, people? Dogma and Good Omens, and it's a perfect blend of both of them.
3. Orville Redenbacher's Cinnabon popcorn -- Oh, don't make that face. I know it sounds ... well, questionable, but as long as you like both popcorn and Cinnabons, you will love this. Seriously.
4. Encyclopedia Titanica -- I've been all over this website lately for DMIDS, and damn. Honestly, the detail they've got on the sinking is so great.
5. Arrested Development -- This is the best comedy on TV, and I'm not just saying that because it's funny but because it's got one of the best senses of continuity on television right now. Stuff just comes out of left field in the storyline, and if you've been following it, it's hilarious. (Although you definitely don't have to be a rabid fan to get the jokes. They're good like that. :)) Those of you not watching ... *chases after you with clue-by-four* The premiere is Wednesday, September 14th, and the first season's already on DVD. WATCH, damn you! *goes back to chasing*
6. "Paperback Writer" by the Beatles -- See, what you do is you put it on your iTunes or Winamp or whatever, and then whenever it comes up, that's your computer telling you to WRITE, DAMN IT. (Well, that's what it means when my computer does it, anyway.)

Date: 2005-07-25 02:29 pm (UTC)A fiction story, with multiple choices at the end.
Stories have branched off into ultra-serious or ultra-crazy.
Complicated, well-researched, epic stuff or just fart jokes. It's all good if you behave.
The three main characters are usually, but not limited to,
1) Lord Fred, dragonslayer. Heroic, noble, focused. Repressed. Loyal to a fault. Has very few relevant survival skills.
2) Velus. Peasent boy from a nearby village. Transformed into a dog. Ambient magic allows him to communicate with humans. Is fully willing to take advantage of being a cute, cuddly lap dog.
3) Princess Astra. Kidnapped royalty from lands to the south. Usually naked. Somewhat naive. Very violent. Tends to over-take the story when she shows up.
P.S. www.livejournal.com/users/dukeman
The leader of the G.I.Joe team. Noble, heroic, kind, chivalrous, stupid. For example, he still thinks handcuffs are only used for restraining Cobra prisoners.
Other faults include drinking too much Yo Joe Cola, blowing up things that annoy him, blowing off paperwork, utterly failing to listen to advice and gaining his male secretary's attention by throwing weaponry past his desk.
