Air and Snakes Museum Department:
So there’s a new movie coming out featuring Samuel L. Jackson entitled, descriptively enough, Snakes on a Plane.
Guess what it’s about?
Years ago Saturday Night Live did an especially weak sketch about a plane that was overrun with cobras.
If that inspired the new movie in any way, this would easily make Snakes on a Plane the worst SNL-inspired movie since It’s Pat.
In any case, the movie has caught the attention of Michelle from You Can’t Make It Up, inspiring her and some friends to create Snakes on a Blog
Yesterday I discovered that, much moreso than the frequent discussions about Everquest, WoW, and various other nerdly pursuits, the biggest indicator of what a bunch of dorks I work with is the fact that someone took the time to write “Public Domain” on a tub of margarine in the break room refrigerator.
Okay, I can see wanting to indicate that something is available for everyone’s use, though anything that doesn’t have a name on it – and even some things that do – is generally considered such when it comes to the refrigerator.
But “Public Domain?” That’s like saying “Present” instead of “Here” during a grade school roll call, or carrying a briefcase to school instead of a back pack.
On the topic of nerdishness, last night on my way home I was behind a car that hat the personalized license plate ORC FOE.
I actually kind of wanted to force the guy off the road and beat him up and take his lunch money. (The sad thing is that this dork probably gets more tail than I do…and elvish tail at that)
My own nerdishness will have increased by an order of magnitude after I finish my upcoming week of Linux training, though I doubt that I’ll be picking out any personalized license plates to announce that fact to the world.
So far today Threshold has had three hits: all of them from people doing Bikini Cavegirl searches.
I just need to know, once and for all, WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU PEOPLE???!!!
*Ahem*
Sorry about that.
(And yes, I am aware of the fact that my frequent mention of Bikini Cavegirl is only going to serve to generate more hits from cavegirl seekers)
In any case, I wanted to mention a few things about my Bikini Cavegirl picture.
It was my original intention to simply have the cavegirl holding a suggestively shaped club and eyeing it up with a salacious smirk.
Then I had a vision of the lovestruck dinosaur and thought I’d simply have her standing in water and bathing herself while the dinosaur watched.
Finally I decided on the image as presented here.
For those who are interested, the reference model for the Bikini Cavegirl was a French pop singer named Alizee, whom I stumbled across one day while browsing through Google Videos.
(She’s extremely cute, and while I couldn’t understand what she was signing about, I realized that what she was saying was just as unimportant as if she were an American pop star. She’d never make it in America, though. Not because she sings in French but because she hasn’t bleached her hair blonde.)
Actually, only the body was based on her. The face was largely my own creation, though she looks sort of like Lois Lane if she were drawn by the lovechild of Curt Swan and Tom Grummet as channeled through me.
(I realize pretty much no one will get those references, but I don’t care)
It’s only appropriate that Lois should find her way in, though, given that a while ago I posted those images from an old Superman story featuring Lois hooked up with a caveman.
(Lois is also very much on my mind, as I am still working out the details of the LL Ideal Queen of Perfection Competition)
I had thought about using Jezebelle Bond, the titular (I said “titular”) character from the movie that inspired this madness, but most of the picture I have of her aren’t really…suitable for the sort of images I draw (I really wouldn’t need a model with her legs behind her head, for example).
Still, she did provide some inspiration for the finished product.
I don’t know how much posting I’ll be doing next week, but I’m sure I’ll keep you apprised of my progress in learning Linux, or as I call it, my inerdination, which is like indoctrination, only with nerds.
On a positive note, though, I’m sure there will be all kinds of hot chicks in the Linux class, right? Right?
*Sigh*
