This appeals to my machine side:

It's Fleet Week in San Francisco, Imperial style! :D
And I have saved the best for last.
This was shown only at conventions. I taped it with my camcorder at San Diego ComiCon in 1995.
It was finally made available for all to see last year.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you "Babylon 5: Requiem"...

Alphabet Meme
Something
prickvixen made up. I thought it was interesting.Think of a word beginning with the letter 'A'. Note the first word which comes into your head. Then immediately think of a word beginning with 'B', and so on, through the entire alphabet. Try not to look at or revisit your notes during this process. Nonsense words are absolutely allowed.
When you're finished, post the words and these rules in your LJ; put the entire list behind an lj-cut so that you don't hijack someone's thoughts accidentally. Repeat as necessary.

Personality Defect Test
Ganked from that
araquan guy:
Your result for The Personality Defect Test...
Hand-Raiser
You are 57% Rational, 71% Extroverted, 43% Brutal, and 29% Arrogant.
You are the Hand-Raiser, that annoying kid in class who always had an answer for everything. No doubt, as a child you probably sat in the front of the class, anxiously waving your hand back and forth in the air while your teacher desperately tried to avoid calling on you because you were the ONLY fucking kid that answered her questions. Clearly, the key traits of your personality are your rationality and your extroversion. You are like a little talkative calculator, in other words. You also tend to be rather gentle and less arrogant than most people. Your presence is a bane to everyone's existence, because you are too nice for your own good and you absolutely will not shut up. So what is your defect, then? Well, you're boring, and when you're not boring, you are just plain annoying with your ultra-logical responses and constant need to talk to others. So keep waving that hand in the air, son. I'm still not calling on you. You are too logical, you talk too much, and your humility and gentleness only makes me hate you more, because they make me feel like I almost SHOULDN'T hate you. But I do. Big time. And by the way, the more you wave your hand in class--your extended hand becoming nothing more than a blur as you insanely wave it, thinking we can't see it--the more smug satisfaction the teacher takes in watching the look of excrutiating pain cross your face as you agonize over not being called on, and the longer we'll wait to call on you, just because we absolutely love torturing you so.
To put it less negatively:
1. You are more RATIONAL than intuitive.
2. You are more EXTROVERTED than introverted.
3. You are more GENTLE than brutal.
4. You are more HUMBLE than arrogant.
Compatibility:
Your exact opposite is the Brute.
Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Braggart, the Haughty Intellectual, and the Robot.
If you scored near fifty percent for a certain trait (42%-58%), you could very well go either way. For example, someone with 42% Extroversion is slightly leaning towards being an introvert, but is close enough to being an extrovert to be classified that way as well. Below is a list of the other personality types so that you can determine which other possible categories you may fill if you scored near fifty percent for certain traits.
The other personality types:
The Emo Kid: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Starving Artist: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Bitch-Slap: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.
The Brute: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.
The Hippie: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Televangelist: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Schoolyard Bully: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.
The Class Clown: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant.
The Robot: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Haughty Intellectual: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Spiteful Loner: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.
The Sociopath: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.
The Hand-Raiser: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Braggart: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Capitalist Pig: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.
Be sure to take my Sublime Philosophical Crap Test if you are interested in taking a slightly more intellectual test that has just as many insane ramblings as this one does!

Well now, I guess I was like this in school at first, but I mellowed out.
How bizarre...

Gigantic Animated Films Meme
Animated Films Meme
(borrowed, revised and modified a bit from
crocodile)X what you saw
O what you haven't finished/saw sizable portions
Red font for what you disliked/hated
Orange font for what you liked
Green font for what you loved
- Underline if own
- Leave unchanged if neutral
( It's sizeable! )
Geeze, these memes are becoming more and more like work!
I ain't doing another one like this for a while!
Rebroadcast from an original feed from
girlfmkitty:Rules:
- Bold all of the following TV shows which you've ever seen three or more episodes of in your lifetime.
- Bold and underline a show if you're positive you've seen every episode of it.
- If you want, add up to three additional shows (keep the list in alphabetical order), but you must delete one show for each one that you add.
( And you thought the last meme was long! )
I took out 3 crappy shows and replaced them with "Absolutely Fabulous", "Cybill", and "Wiseguy".

MEGANIMEMEME (not meme's actual name)
Gank-utsuo-ed (har!) from Chibi Ninja Attack Squad
doronjosama!!!Go through the list and check off the titles you have watched. For our purposes, "watching" a title means that for TV and OVA series, you have to have seen at least one episode. For one-shots, you have to have seen the whole thing. At the end of each genre/category, add up your sub-total. At the very end, add up the sub-totals to come up with your grand total. If your grand total is 80 or over, congratulations -- you are an obsessive anime watcher!
Well, golly, French TV played a lot of anime. And I joined the C/FO in 1985 or so, so I wound up seeing a lot.
But for the past 5 years, I've been carefully selecting what I watch.
Anyway, let's see how I did!
( It's about the size of the Zentraedi Home base, so it's behind a cut! )
Hurray! I am NOT an obsessive anime head! :D
This list is missing a whole bunch of stuff though. Here's the stuff I've seen that's missing: Black Lagoon,
Moonlight Mile, Paprika, Memories, Crusher Joe, Tekkon Kinkreet, Megazone 23 (Part 1 and 2), Maddox 01, Lensman,
Angel's Egg, Jin-Roh: Wolf Brigade, Spirited Away, Dominion Tank Police, and Princess Knight/Ribbon no Kishi,
which I had to look up on Wikipedia to pull the Japanese name from. When I watched it on French TV back
in the day, it was called "Prince Sapphire". I saw this bit on Wikipedia and laughed my head off:
"The King
The King of Silverland. He deceives his people into believing his daughter is really a son in order to
prevent Duralumon from inheriting the throne. Confusingly, he is killed early on, visits Sapphire as a
ghost (Hamlet-style), is brought back to life by God, is killed again, and so on.
The Queen
The Queen of Silverland. Supports Sapphire and oversees the Kingdom during her husband's occasional bouts of being dead."
Occasional bouts of being dead! I love it!!
I don't quite remember that from the TV show, but then again, I was just a Kzintten.
Maybe it was edited by French censors.
Anyway, LOL Tezuka!

The Mormon Name Generator, courtesy of Rum And Monkey.
It's wacky!
My Mormon name is Briley Arther!
What's yours?
Edit: Briley Arther is what I get if I put in "Zrath Smiley" (Zrath being the last name).
If I put in my real name, I get Alexavier Britton. That sounds almost normal! :D
Weekend report to follow, eventually.

Halloween Image Meme
Ganked from

(I'm not sure what they mean by "best picture", so I posted the most striking one)
CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY...

Initial Meme
1. Comment on this post.
2. I will give you a letter.
3. Think of 5 fictional characters and post their names and your comments on these characters in your LJ.
Selenesue gave me the letter O.
1. Otto Octavius, Doctor, aka Doctor Octopus or Doc Ock, mad scientist with 4 metal tentacles. Nemesis of Spider-Man.
2. One, Number, leader of the Mars resistance, from "Babylon 5". A tall drink of water. :)
3. O'Brien, Miles, transporter operator (ST:TNG), chief of operations (ST:DS9). Irish guy.
4. Ogdru Jahad, the 7 Dragons of Revelation, pitiless, chaotic, bent on destruction and subjugation. From "Hellboy".
5. Osborn, Norman, aka Green Goblin, the perfect Halloween themed supervillain. Nemesis of Spider-Man.
Much to my chagrin, Leeloominaï Lekatariba Lamina-Tchaï Ekbat De Sebat does not start with the letter "O". :)

La Meme De Book
It's that book meme thing that has been making the rounds.
What the hell, why not?
* Grab the nearest book.
* Open the book to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
And the closest book is: "How To Own A Gun & Stay Out Of Jail - California 2008 Edition"
"This includes going to or coming from gun shows or other events sponsored by an organization devoted to the collection, competitive use, or other sporting use of guns, for the purpose of lawfully transferring (selling, giving, or lending) the gun."
Fascinating, isn't it?
More fun stuff later...

Field Guide to Candybar Spotting
Ganked from nougat-filled and chocolate-covered
kibbles:
|
I'm good at recognizing the shape of things... :D
Ganked from the lovely and talented
cleolinda...10 Things I've Done That You Probably Haven't!
1) Rode in the "commercial parade" in the Tour De France.
Back in 1978, my dad paid the fees to be part of the parade of advertizing vehicles that preceded the bike racers
in Le Tour. We used our custom-painted Austin Mini, advertizing our hip clothing store ("King's Shop).
My dad drove and I rode shotgun. The fees covered only one day, and my dad picked the stage of Le Tour that
traversed Northern France, since that's where our store was and where we lived. It was pretty exciting.
2) Worked security for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games.
It was my first job, I was still in high school. The gig lasted 5 weeks and there was overtime. I was stationed
at the Sunset Church, in Hollywood, which had a large parking lot that was being leased by the Olympic Committee
to house converted scool buses to shuttle media around. A Coke truck and a Mars truck showed up every other day
to resupply us with freed goodies, as both companies were official Olympic sponsors. Yum!
3) Worked for M.I.B.
I worked as a freelance translator for Platinum Studios, which oversees all things M.I.B., among other things.
Now, could you please look at this? [FLASHY-THINGY!!!]
4) Watched Joel Hodgson perform and shook his hand afterwards.
Thanks to Irresponsible Captain Spino (
dcotelessa) who found out Joel was going to perform at theMagic Castle and invited me to see him. Joel did prop schtick and was fun to watch.
I shook his hands afterwards and we talked about "The TV Wheel". Thanks Spino!
5) Got some badly sunburned in Guadeloupe (the island) that I couldn't walk for two days.
I was vacationing with my parents in the small Caribbean island of Guadeloupe and stayed out in the sun the whole
day without sunscreen. I spent the next two days in the hotel room laying on the bed, unable to walk from sunburns.
Thankfully, I got better and enjoyed the rest of the holiday. I was maybe 9 years-old.
6) I was an extra in a movie called "Voodoo", which starred Corey Feldman.
I was in only one scene. I'm a bouncer outside a club with a large holstered Maglite on my belt, and I nod at
Corey and his posse as they walk into the club. I have never seen the movie, I don't even know if I'm in it.
I should probably Netflix it and check. I think I'll do that right now...
7) Walked around with up to $15,000 in cash on my person in my capacity as a used Levi's jeans buyer.
When my dad passed away in 1991, it fell to me to continue the business. Used Levi's jeans were in high demand
in France and those Levi's jeans absolutely had to have "made in USA" tags on them. We purchased the jeans from
various suppliers and none of them took checks or credit cards, so cash was required.
8) Been mistaken for Paul Schrier, aka Farkas "Bulk" Bulkmeier from "Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers".
Yes, that's right, the fat guy. Because we all look alike. :P
9) Been mistaken for a sumo wrestler by a very nice old Japanese lady in Little Tokyo.
Considering how respected sumo wrestlers are in Japan, I felt honored. :)
10) Walked by Ice Cube while wearing an Eazy-E t-shirt.
Oh the fun stuff that happened at Amp'd Mobile. Ice Cube came in to do a session in the studio, and I wore my
Eazy-E t-shirt on purpose. Some co-workers were somewhat concerned because Cube and E were not the best of friends.
Cube saw the t-shirt, looked at me, and kept right on going. It's ancient history, I guess.
