Eff It-The 2011 CANADA DAY Drunk Thread!6/30/11 4th of what?

I mean, we hooked up a few times, and then I moved. We kind of stopped talking for a while, but I didn't know that we'd actually been dating?

This is why you shouldn't hook up with your friends people. No matter how many times they say they'll never hook up with you. I'm easily manipulated, like a retarded squirrel.

 

I've only started wading through the series over the past few years so I'll give what helpful hints I can.

If you want to start somewhere, I'd recommend starting with Tom Baker's Doctor. He's the most popular for a reason. He played the role incredibly well and his stories all tend to be quite entertaining. You could start with his first proper appearance as the doctor, but I'd recommend going with the Key to Time arc. It's pretty entertaining, plus you get to see some of the episodes that Douglas Adams worked on during his tenure on the writing staff.

After that you'd probably want to get into episodes that showcase the Doctor's primary villains like Daleks, The Master, and Cybermen. As for Daleks, I think Genesis of the Daleks and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destiny_of_the_Daleks Destiny of the Daleks are good starting points. I think their first proper appearance was in a First Doctor serial, but I'm not sure if that story is aroung in VHS/DVD. If I remember correctly, a lot of the First, Second, and part of the Third Doctors stories were destroyed when there was a fire at the BBC facility where they kept the master tapes of those episodes.

After the Fourth, I'd move into Jon Pertwee's run. I haven't seen as many of Pertwee's but I really enjoyed the ones I have managed to watch. He's very James Bond-ish in his approach. The Silurians and The Sea Devils were both pretty good. Plus, Sea Devils has an appearance by the Master, so you can at least get exposed to that character a bit.

From there, my help gets a little vague. Colin Baker's Doctor is almost universally reviled, so you may want to tread carefully if not completely avoid. I've heard Peter Davison's Doctor is supposed to be pretty good, but it was mighty difficult coming in after Tom Baker's tenure. I've been meaning to start watching some of Sylvester McCoy's arc, but I haven't gotten around to it. Supposedly, they start off kinda "meh" but improved pretty dramatically before the show was cancelled.

I've only seen a few episodes here and there for Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant. Eccleston's run is quite short, so that's probably pretty easy to digest quickly. Tennant's Doctor, supposedly, is just a big homage to Peter Davison's Doctor, so you could probably just watch his run in lieu of watching Davison's.

Sorry for the massive wall of text and loads of links. Hopefully that helps somewhat.

Edit: Or do what NettData recommends. It'd probably be wiser to assimilate everything from the time of the revamp onwards and then make your way backwards.

 

In honour of both of our country's birthdays, I'm drinking a delicious Timmy's and watching Rocky 5, as well as participating in MM.

(yes, I'm sober - I have to wring out the liver now and again. Don't judge.)

 

Mutual masturbation?

Manual molestation?

Mammary manipulation?

Masterful menstruation?

 

Now swap those adjectives all around and you'll really be having some entertainment.

 

Results from grilling today....

Spoiler

So good...

My friend's wife left some Mike's Hard Cranberry Lemonade tallboys for me. No shame in drinking them, right?

 

I hope you're watching rocky 5 because it's the only one on, otherwise WTF?

 

All this blueberry talk reminded me of a friend that I haven't thought about for a while. Now that I think about it, Netty might secretly be the Blueberry Prince.

Edit: Who am I kidding? That nancy couldn't last more than a few hours in the woods of tainthole Canada.

 

So my tick season has finally come here to San Diego and my dog has started bringing them in the house with him. Today I found one crawling up up my shorts, that was surprising. Does anyone know of a way to keep these disease infested pests out of my house? More importantly how can I make sure they don't latch onto my dog or me.
I don't like bugs, and I don't like the idea of these little bastards crawling around my house waiting to latch onto me or my dog.

But back on focus, I'm enjoying rum and diet dr. pepper. Not an ordinary combo but not entirely terrible either.

 

Multiple Murders

Edit: one was used already.

 

He's telling you, not suggesting. Because he's the father of the net, he knows.

 

Same here buddy. Thats why I just made out with my housemate for the 3rd time despite the face she has a boyfriend and is in a open relationship. Dude, I have no willpower when it comes to hot chicks.

 

Well, here's the 4th of July damage report from the asshole of Texas.
As usual, I spent it at my ex-inlaws' house (for anyone curious about this, I get along great with my ex-inlaws. It's my ex-wife I can't get along with. I want to spend the holiday with my son, and that is where he is), and everything was going great. During the afternoon, I supervised as Li'l Bandit blew things up with "Texas Outlaw Busters*," while my neices and nephews watched (they were either too young, too scared, or their parents wouldn't let them).
Later on in the evening, my brother-in-law brought out this huge cannon that shot 2 1/2" mortars about the size of a small Red Bull can, and would light up the sky and echo for miles around. The mortars had a long, but fast burning fuse, and the way you used them was to put the mortars into the 2-foot tall canister with the fuse hanging out the top, then light it and stand back.
Well, my brother-in-law did about 20 of them, then my uncle-in-law (who had been drinking all day) decided he wanted to fire one off. My brother-in-law SPECIFICALLY TOLD HIM WHAT TO DO.
You probably see where this is going.
The next thing that I remember is my brother-in-law yelling : "______ ,WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?! YOU HAVE TO PUT IT IN THE CANISTER!!!!"
Next, I see my uncle-in-law running off with his arms flailing in the air, and my brother-in-law grabs his youngest daughter, turns away and crouches over her. I then realize what happened, and look for Li'l Bandit...He is too far away to reach.
The charge goes off. Li'l Bandit gets hit with a piece of flaming magnesium on his forearm. Everyone else is fine.
The burn wasn't bad, about like a cigarette burn. But Li'l Bandit didn't want to participate in anymore festivities, so he and I watched a "Regular Show" marathon on Cartoon Network with my ex-wife. He's fine, he was just sort of put-out by the situation.
While we were inside checking out his arm, my brother-in-law had some harsh words with my uncle-in-law, apologies were given, and he was not allowed to touch anymore explosives.

NOTICE: Before anyone makes any "stupid redneck" jokes, the only white people there were me, my brother-in-law, and our half-latino children.

*Texas Outlaw Busters/Bunker Busters are these remarkably strong (at least as strong as M88's, and a fraction of the cost: 100 outlaw busters can be had for $1.50. M88's are about $.50 apiece, but I haven't bought them in years. They just can't compete with the bang-for-the-buck factor of the Outlaw Busters), WATERPROOF fire crackers that are about 1"-1.25" long by 1/4" wide, with a slow burning fuse. They are loads of fun with adult supervision.

Just so this post isn't a total downer, here's this:

NSFW

 

I remember when I had a pack of firecracker-sized spinner things go off in my hand. The yellow burns looked pretty weird for awhile. Not as exciting as my cousin burning off all the hair on his arm and eyebrows courtesy of an innocent little pile of black powder.

 

Ahhh, you know me so well.

Re: watching Rocky 5

Ok, that shit totally blew and lasted 15 minutes. I switched to the Top Chef Canada finale. NOW I'm watching the original Rocky and marveling at what a damn fine movie it is. I can't wait for the ending so I can have a good cry. My Frank's marinated chicken legs are almost ready, I have another Timmy's handy and a basket full of batteries.

Life is good. I love Monday's.

 

I thought maybe porn would save that stupid fucking story, and when I open it I see a woman smoking with a busted ass vagina. Fantastic. Dixie, is there anything about you that isn't completely white trash?

Kinda feel bad for you son.
