Probably funny only to me

[itsallovernow]

I think the following explains a lot about me:

While chatting tonight with kernezelda, I was also doing edits on my layout project and trying to avoid M.'s running commentary on Alien vs. Predator so it makes sense that I was a tad distracted.

Also, keep in mind that I'm the child of hippies, live in LA, I went to two very liberal liberal arts colleges and lets just there've been a lot of boys in my life who I've adored who've also spent a lot of their time stoned. Certain phrases have particular resonance to me.

Kerne was in the midst of reading the Zombie/RPF crackfic that I'd recced: Illegal Zombie-Actor Cage Fighting (dude, I know this is the second time I've recced it today but you must, must read this - put aside any RPF prejudices and go read!) and was also pointing me to cofax7's reviews of Friday night's Stargate offerings. ( Found here)

Being in the middle of something, I hadn't yet gotten through the whole of the post, and Kerne was quoting pieces of the fic that she was finding particularly funny. One of the earliest parts involves Jason Mamoa being stoned. This is relevant.

Several lines later, Kerne says, " I didn't know Ben baked."

I, thinking that I'd either not read the fic correctly, or that Kerne had gotten the wrong impression, replied that I didn't know any actors who hadn't indulged from time to time, but that I thought it was just that he was the ringleader of mischief and mayhem. I didn't want her to think poorly of either the real thing or the RPF version.

Kerne continues to quote me lines, undoutedly very confused, but she doesn't say anything.

In the meantime, I go to read Cofax's post. And then all is revealed.

Causing me to go back to Kerne and say, "Dude, you meant baked like pastries and pie crusts. Not, well... shake and bake. Not like being baked."

There's a long cyber pause, and then Kerne says, "I didn't realize that getting baked meant getting stoned."

Hee. "I think this reflects more poorly upon myself than upon you dear," I replied.

It's hard to imagine that the Queen of Evil is really an innocent when it comes to matters of vice and munchy laden liviing.

It's less difficult for me to believe that baked has more meaning for me in terms of pot than in terms of pastry. I don't even partake of illegal substances anymore!!

But dude!

Hee.

And I will write a fic of one's choice, in a fandom of one's choice if they make me an icon featuring the following quote from that fic:

"Bloody men. Tell them there's going to be a zombie cage fight, and suddenly the woods of British Columbia are alive with children and stoned, stoned men running around in their knickers."

Hee!!

You are very funny.

I suspect Ben got baked, once upon a time. He was, after all, in college.

That was a very funny story, although I think Ben's too smart to get tricked by the zombie that way. *g* But the axe was a nice touch.

[fourteenlines.livejournal.com]

But the idea of Ben in a cape (and of Ben and Hewlett as partners in crime) is admittedly hilarious.

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

So, so hilarious!!! Especially since I actually had watched Atlantis this week and saw the Rodney on crack part of it.

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Hee. It's true. I feel certain that he would have outwitted the zombie, or at least made sure he wasn't really blinded by the cape:) But he may have let the zombie out on purpose so it would go running after David Hewlitt:)

And dude, when we were in college, we frequently proclaimed that when we had kids we would not chastise them for smoking up, as long as they did it when they got to college and not up in their rooms with their dorky high school friends:) Brain cells need to be preserved until at least 17 or 18!!:)

"Bloody men. Tell them there's going to be a zombie cage fight, and suddenly the woods of British Columbia are alive with children and stoned, stoned men running around in their knickers."

Thanks; your icon is making me see that quote being said by Maldis...

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Hee - go forth, read the story and you'll change your mind!!

[fourteenlines.livejournal.com]

Now...THAT is funny.

I know what "baked" means after having seen Clueless numerous times. *g*

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Hee! I totally forgot that was in Clueless. I think it's probably a term used far more by old school pot smokers (but again, child of hippies, child of a guitar player/physics teacher. Vocabulary is all about cultural relevance:)

[sugargroupie.livejournal.com]

Aw, I take it Kerne's never seen Half Baked? :)

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

My guess would be no:) Hee. I'm also guessing that Cheech and Chong would be a cultural phenomenon that passed her by:) It makes me want to hug her and hide her in a cave:)

On the other hand, do not ask her about sex toys!!

[sugargroupie.livejournal.com]

Oh, I've already had the pleasure, hee. She's fast with that information.

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Causing me to put my fingers in my ears and go, "La la la I can't hear you!!!"

[scorpy808.livejournal.com]

Ok I got a nice chuckle out of that. I thought everyone knew that baked could also mean baked LOL

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

It's all about the personal and cultural references (and quite truthfully, it made far more sense the other way, I was clearly distracted:)

For what it's worth, when I read your post I expected, and skimmed, and then READ "I didn't know Ben got baked" (and had to go back immediately and recheck) on the heels of the Jason Momoa line.

Of course, this surprises no one. *g*

Re: ganja californication

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Hee hee!! See, I knew it wasn't just me!

And no, not surprised. Grinning wildly, but not at all surprised:)

And dude, I haven't seen you guys in AGES!! We must rectify this!

[ch1pper.livejournal.com]

that fic is some seriously baked goodness!

Hmm, do you want any particular picture for this icon? or will text be fine.

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Hee - either or both would be fabulous!!

[ch1pper.livejournal.com]

I really want a cap of Aeryn from the PK wars. Y'know the one where she looks really "WTH!?!"

I'd cap it right now but I haven't installed PowerDVD yet.

Direct me?

[fancyfedora.livejournal.com]

I really like yours!

[ch1pper.livejournal.com]

aww, thanks!! :D

It's my first text only.

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Dude, I love those!!

I'm going to put a link to both icons in the original author's LJ!

And name your fandom!

[ch1pper.livejournal.com]

Dude, that fic has so many quotable lines in it.

hmmm, fandom ::pretends to ponder::

Farscape!! Please no slash or pron. I know, I'm so stuffy.

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Do you have a particular season, setting, scenario that you'd like to see?

[ch1pper.livejournal.com]

Hurt!John fic is my candy. After WGFA he just gets more and more frelled.

[fancyfedora.livejournal.com]

Nothing special, but a shot nonetheless.

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Oh dude!! That's fabulous!!

Okay, fandom request!

[fancyfedora.livejournal.com]

Fandom: SG-1. Idea? Your choice. As long as it's not Cameron/Daniel slash. Slash or friendship stuff is fine. Or something about Jell-O.

[ch1pper.livejournal.com]

You win!

[jenlev.livejournal.com]

bwahahahaha! *cough-weeze* er, makes sense to me. hee!

[kernezelda]

There are reasons I'm a hermit in the woods. *g*

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Hee. I think you're adorable! And I shared that more for my erroneous assumption that you were talking about drugs (and how quickly I made the assumption) than anything else:)

But as Shunda and I discussed, you are only sheltered in regards to certain vices:)

[ch1pper.livejournal.com]

::huggles kerne hermit brain::

[raithen.livejournal.com]

i skimmed the fic yesterday (my attention span is short for online reading aside from LJ these days, I confess. But I am DEVOURING Song of Unmaking in book form, so...).

But seriously, the ironic part would be men running around the wilds of BC NOT stoned - zombies or no. They don't call it BC bud for nuttin, ya know.... ;)

Actually, there is one spot where I ride that was laden with "volunteers" all last summer ;).

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Hee:) If the wilds of BC are anything like the wilds of Northern California or Colorado...

[raithen.livejournal.com]

I sense that they probably are....

We giggle, because just about every weekend the RCMP helicopter does a low flyover our area - LOTS of grow ops have been busted not too far from us (and more likely survive. Neighbours were renoing the house they bought a few years ago and kept finding false walls and hidden crannies....)

[raithen.livejournal.com]

this friend of friends post made me think of you, Ms Sporky ;)
