When David Met David

The guy in this video could be the next

Doctor Who.

The beauty of this video is simple.

You can see both Doctors together.

Captain Jack

would

LOVE THIS.

( this is for my friends who have the Captain Jack thing going on )

Now

Back to the important part of the story.

Here

it is…

the two

Doctors.

 

A sneak preview of the Dr Who Christmas special shown during BBC 1’s Children in Need show, has renewed speculation that the actor David Morrissey could succeed David Tennant.

I could SO be on board for that change.

I mean…did yo see him dance?

Yowza.

(until the bbc pulls it…here’s the Christmas Promo with both Doctors)

Pirate Theme Song Saturday

What do two of my favorite things in the world…

Pirates and David Tennant

have in common?

Absolutely

NOTHING

Trust me, I checked.

But I did find a neat Pirate Tune / Doctor Who mashup that looked like fun

 so sing it in good health and enjoy the D.W. clips.

Force yourself.

It will be worth it.

“The Pirates That Don’t Do Anything”

we are the pirates we don’t do anything
we just stay at home, and lie around
and if you ask us, to do anything
we’ll just tell you, we don’t do anything

well I’ve never been to Greenland
and I’ve never been to Denver
and I’ve never buried treasure in ST Louie or ST Paul
and I’ve never been to Moscow
and I’ve never been to Tampa
and I’ve never been to Boston in the fall

we are the pirates we don’t do anything
we just stay at home, and lie around
and if you ask us, to do anything
we’ll just tell you, we don’t do anything

and I’ve never hoist the main sail
and I’ve never swabbed the poop deck
and I’ve never veered starboard, cause I’ve never sailed at all
and I’ve never walked the gang plank
and I’ve never owned a parrot.
and I’ve never been to Boston in the fall

we are the pirates we don’t do anything
we just stay at home, and lie around
and if you ask us, to do anything
we’ll just tell you, we don’t do anything

I’ve never plucked a rooster
and I am not too good at ping-pong
and I’ve never thrown my mashed potatoes up against the wall
and I’ve never kissed a chipmunk,
and I’ve never gotten head lice
and I have never been to Boston in the fall

(pirate captains log 2002
who be this band relient k
and why they be so full of contradictions)

we don’t know what he did
but we’re down with captain kidd
we don’t wake up before lunch
but we all eat captain crunch
we don’t smoke, we don’t chew
we watch captain kangaroo

and I’ve never licked a spark-plug
and I’ve never sniffed a stink bug
and I’ve never painted Daisies on a big red rubber ball
and I’ve never bathed in yogurt
and I don’t look good in leggings
and I’ve never been to Boston in the fall

we are the pirates who don’t do anything
we just stay at home, and lie around
and if you ask us, to do anything
we’ll just tell you, we don’t do anything

we are the pirates we don’t do anything
we just stay at home, and lie around
and if you ask us, to do anything
we’ll just tell you, we don’t do anything

A Lesson Learned…In The Twilight Zone

For me- as a writer– this closing scene from an Twilight Zone Episode titled

” Will The Real  Martian Please Stand Up”

taught me to not only look under the bed or into the closet to find the monster so that I could write about it

it taught me to get under the bed or into the closet and THINK like one.

Enjoy.

During a snowstorm, two state troopers are investigating a crash and are led to believe that it was a UFO. They follow footprints leading from the crash site to a diner, where a group of passengers from a bus to Boston are waiting for word that a bridge up ahead is safe to cross. Though the only patrons of the roadside eatery are bus passengers, there is one more diner than there were people on the bus. There is mutual suspicion among the stranded travelers, as the passengers each try to guess which among them is the alien. When they get permission to go across the bridge, however, they all leave.

Shortly, the businessman played by John Hoyt returns to the diner and tells the cook that the bridge collapsed and the bus and police car fell in killing all aboard the bus and the policemen. As the cook wonders how the businessman survived, he also notes that his clothes are not even wet. Soon the businessman unveils his third arm and stirs his coffee with his third hand, telling the cook that he is a Martian, and revealing that Mars plans to start a colony on Earth. Laughing, the cook tells him that he’s too late, and by taking off his paper hat and revealing his third eye, reveals that he is from Venus, which has already started a colony, and that the Martian invasion force has been intercepted.

Screw You Shakespeare and Your Stupid Company Too!

dr-who__opt

Okay, I can deal with the fact that David Tennant will not be Doctor Who for the next twenty years.

The Doctor as we know him will only be around for a couple of more years and may I suggest you love’em while you’ve got him, but chin up because Tennant is a great actor and I sincerely doubt this will be the last time we see him on the screen.

So all I can say is, unless the powers that be who will be casting the next Doctor find someone as hot as Tennant they’re in trouble and they know it…so I’m guessing they go geeky with the next Doctor- which has it’s charms.

But who do I blame for this Non-Hot Doctor Zone we are about to enter?

I blame William Shakespeare, that’s who, and if he were alive I’d stick a quill pen in his eye.

So there.

I belong to an On-Line Writers Group and we’ve got a Christmas Blog up and running.

There’s some artwork, humor, holiday recipes and stories going up there daily.

So what is somebody like me- who just finished two stories about cannibals- doing over there?

I’ve found a way to work in Tequila and David Tennant onto a Christmas Blog.

I am So clever…

HAHAHAHAHHA

So check it out over the holidays, it’ll be something fun to read.

CHRISTMAS AT RIVERSLEIGH

Have You Hugged Your Governor Today?

nope

I’ve had a lot of fun at Sarah Palin’s expense…which must at least give a chuckle to those Vampires at the RNC who got stuck buying Palin a bunch of new clothes and her husband’s silk boxer shorts…

but in the middle of the train wreck that was Sarah Palin-

 my State re-elected our Governor- Chris Gregoire- and Gregoire is a Governor we can be proud of.

Here in Washington state we don’t have to wonder what Gregoire will do to us on the world stage everytime she opens her mouth- and we can also not worry about the fact that a very large percentage of the population sits around praying like crazy for her to say something stupid for a cheap thrill.

When Gregoire’s  challenger- a Bush Light chucklehead who thought he could win a campaign by saying Chris Gregoire released sex offenders in the community  who in turn were waiting to molest your children-Gregoire didn’t go nasty back on them.

I would have.

And it would have involved toilet paper, eggs and underwear hanging from somebody’s trees.

But then again, no one would ever elect me to anything.

Anyway.

Governor Gregoire stuck to the issues, she acted with class and she has always done right by us here in Washington and in the end she won the election.

Which makes me feel good to know that if you do the right things good things will come back to you.

So

Gov. Gregoire if I haven’t said it before I’m glad you’re our Governor

and Alaska all I can say is…

Thank You

for Sarah Palin

in these trying times we could all use a laugh- a good one- and in

 Sarah ‘Caribou Barbie’ Palin you have given us that.
