And then, sometimes, there's callers like this:

Customer: Could you possibly send three of those?
Melle: Sure, no problem at all.
Customer: You are the woman!

*beam* Am The Woman! Woohoo! He also praised me for being up and cheerful at 8:15 in the morning, bless him. Hee. Clearly, I am Queen of Customer Service. All shall love me and despair! (Wonder if I can put that on my CV, heh.)

(Also, OMG there is a new kid in the department who looks like a young, extra-skinny Bob Geldof. *tries not to stare*)

Link of the Day: The Gospel of Judas. I'll just sit in this corner over here and flail for a bit, thanks.

And now, we meme! First of all, the answers to that character meme:

[Jean-Paul Beaubier]and [Bobby Drake] are getting married. What are the most wanted and least wanted presents? What theme does the wedding have and how long is the marriage likely to last? ([livejournal.com profile] eurmalian)

Ben is clearly an evil genius of some sort, heh. Also, I'm forcibly restraining myself from answering this set in the In The Real World universe, and you should all thank me for that.

Anyway, presents. Presents would be a problem, I think, because Jean-Paul is filthy rich and all that. So there'd be ... a lot of sex toys, probably, which Bobby would be embarrassed yet pleased about. Jean-Paul would ask for a lot of clothes for Bobby that aren't Hawaiian shirts or something similar. Scott would probably give something like a toaster (ha! toaster!), which would elicit a "Well, it's the thought that counts" response.

Jean-Paul would violently oppose a theme wedding, I suspect, no matter how hard Bobby would push for one. ("Hawaii!" "No." "Something historical?" "No." "Fetish Club?" "aiosdklsdklj NO!") And the marriage would likely last a very long time, but then this is my x-Men OTP, so I might be biased. :D

[Jayne Cobb], [Marcus Flint] and [Greg Sanders] are lost in the woods, chased by the ordinary blood thirsty people we know live in every dark forest (thank you, American movie makers). Who survives, who has the heroic death and who makes the best comments? ([livejournal.com profile] slippery_fish)

Answering the last question first, Greg, obviously, would get in the best comments, because other two are just not so much with the talking. Unfortunately, Greg would also be the first one to get killed, because geek vs. blood thirsty hill people ... no contest. But he'd also get the heroic death--by default, because I can't see either of the others doing the heroic thing for a couple of strangers. So yeah.

Jayne is most likely to ultimately survive, although Marcus does have magic on his side, so it's a close call, that one. Hm. *ponder*

A plane crashes into an isolated mountain range, and [Lee Jordan], [Justin Timberlake] and [River Tam] are the only survivors. Are they rescued before they succumb to the harsh mountain climate? If so, how? If not, why not? ([livejournal.com profile] hobsonphile)

Again, it's magic to the rescue! And a good thing, too, because River would've probably survived without magic, but the Infant, not so much. I think River and Lee may well get along, actually. She'd have to take him aside and tell him she knows about the magic (uh-oh, crossover bunny trying to get into my head, now) and she'll distract Justin so Lee can take out his wand (oh, hush) and start a fire, and possibly "find" some food, and he'd not be too weirded out at the whole psychic telepath thing, cause hi, wizard? I kinda like this concept, actually. :D

[Éowyn], [Jayne Cobb] and [Simon Tam] find out that they've all been dating / sleeping with the same person. How do they react? Who (if any) gets the guy/girl in the end? ([livejournal.com profile] sandrine)

The first problem in this situation is, of course, figuring out who the hell all three of them would be sleeping with. Let's say Kaylee, for the sake of argument, but then of course they'd already know about each other, I think. Kaylee doesn't strike me as the kind of girl to lead people on. Jayne, at least, wouldn't care anyway, I don't think, and neither would Éowyn, as long as she was free to do her shield maiden thing, but Simon needs to have a Talk with Kaylee if he's ever going to realise that casual sex is fine and dandy.

... Can this end in a Happy Fun Foursome? With orgies? Please?

[Lee Jordan] & [Greg Sanders] get married. They invite [Gríma], [Jayne Cobb], [Simon Tam] & [Jack Harkness]. They do not invite [Éowyn] & [River Tam] on purpose. Who's insulted? Who gets drunk and hits on a guest's older aunt? Who gets the flowers? And what do all the others do? ([livejournal.com profile] sparklebutch)

Okay, give me a moment to recover from the mental imagery of this pairing, first. Ow. Ow? Ow. And what's with all the weddings?

Right, then. They've clearly not invited Éowyn because Gr&iacture;ma's there, and they don't want him doing the Wounded Puppy thing at her for the entire evening. ("The idea," Greg explained to Nick in the locker room, "Is to get him to mingle and meet new people and hopefully get laid so he'll get over her.") Gríma is a little sad about it, because he'd sort of been looking forward to getting at least one dance with Éowyn, but he appreciates the sentiment. Éowyn's a bit annoyed, but wouldn't have gone anyway because of Gríma, so she's mostly shrugged it off. ("Besides," she confided in Inara over tea, "being The Single One at a wedding is practically an invitation for people to pity you and try setting you up with people." She wrinkled her nose, which made Inara laugh.)

River's not invited because she asked not to be, because she knows Simon wouldn't drink if she were at the party, and alcohol is the only thing she and Kaylee haven't tried yet to get Simon and Jayne together. She's obviously not insulted, and besides, drunken people broadcast disturbing thoughts. ("Especially that Jack Harkess guy," she'd told Zoe. "I'm nowhere near old enough to be hearing that sort of thing. Actually, I'm pretty sure the Shepard's not old enough to be hearing that sort of thing." Zoe laughed, but River was probably right.)

Everyone gets drunk, especially Jayne and Simon, but neither of them are hitting on people's aunts. Jack would be flirting with anyone and everyone regardless of how drunk he was, so he doesn't really count. Legolas, who isn't even on my character list but would be attending, gets ever-so-slightly sloshed, and then his Elven Trash roots start to show, and, well. You can imagine the rest.

Some little girl on Lee's side catches the flowers, but somehow by the end of the evening, Jayne's ended up with half of them in his hair, and no one can quite remember how that happened.

As for the others, *checks character list* Cable would spend half the night talking Big Macho Guns with Jayne, and the other half just watching people make drunken fools of themselves and being amused, and possibly joining forces with Jean-Paul for some prime snark, mostly at Justin, who would be off in a corner holding court. Bobby would be the one dancing on the tables even without the excuse of alcohol, and Scott'd spend half the evening trying to get him down from there because he's tarnishing the good reputation of the X-Men. The other half of the evening, he'd be commiserating with Mal about crew/team members being drunken idiots, strategy, and other boring things.

... I can't believe I wrote that much about a silly crossover. Um.

[Éowyn], [Justin Timberlake], and [Greg Sanders] are on a spaceship and engaged in a war of wits, battle royale style, with [Gr&iactue;ma], [Jayne Cobb], and [Simon Tam]. Does [Scott Summers] sneak up and win? If not, who emerges victorious? ([livejournal.com profile] hokage)

Man, you people sure have a preoccupation with death and dismemberment, don't you? Anyway, Scott's way too boyscoutish to even want a part in this, so that possibility's out. And my money for the winning side would have to be on Jayne's team, because they'd have the guns. *nods*

What does [Justin Timberlake] give [Simon Tam] and [Scott Summers] for their birthdays? ([livejournal.com profile] yonmei)

His latest CD. *cough* :D (I'm kinda mean to the infant in this meme, aren't I? Sorry!)

Gacked from [livejournal.com profile] telesilla: Rec-Go-Round: Rec me one story you've written that you're proud of, any genre, here on my LJ. Then go forth and ask the same in yours.

From various people: Go to Wikipedia and look up your birthday (excluding the year). List three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year.

Three neat facts:
1860 - South Carolina becomes first state to secede from the United States.
1951 - Nuclear power first harvested when EBR-1 powers four light bulbs.
2005 - 2005 New York City transit strike: New York City's Transport Workers Union Local 100 goes on strike, shutting down all New York City Subway and Bus services. (Sorry folks, my bad!)

Two births:
1946 - Uri Geller, Israeli psychic (This amuses me far more than it probably should. Heeee!)
1980 - Ashley Cole, English footballer (... He's exactly my age? Gah, I hate it when people my age or younger are massively successful, it makes me look like a failure.)

One death:
1968 - John Steinbeck, American writer, Nobel Prize laureate (b. 1902)

*g* Maybe Saffron was around...

Oh, dear. Now you'ev scared Jayne. Though I do still want to write an AU storyline thingie where it turns out Mal and Jayne actually got married to each other.

Now you'ev scared Jayne.

*g* But Saffron rocks!

Heeeeh. Wash would have a field day with that...

Saffron is scary and dangerous and totally not worth the risk!

And Wash would turn blue from laughing so hard, man. Hee hee.

I'm with you on the first two points. *g*

Good, yes. And Zoe would have this little smile on her face that slowly spreads over her whole face.

Book would probably manage not to laugh. And Inara. River would just make her comments...

And she would tell Jayne that she will hurt him if he should cheat on his husband...

And Jayne'd grumble about how he'd best be getting some from said husband, then, or hed be perfectly justified in looking elsewhere.
ext_8571: (silly)

From: [identity profile] slippery-fish.livejournal.com


And right then and there Mal would try to bitchslap everybody. Which would end in even more laughter...

From: [identity profile] bubosquared.livejournal.com


Hee hee! And Jayne would totally be waiting naked in Mal's bed, because either Mal would have sex with him, or he'd get so embarassed and annoyed his head would explode, so it's a win-win situation as far as Jayne's concerned.
ext_8571: (amused)

And then he could be capain of the ship!

...

Well, if Zoe doesn't shoot him or Simon doesn't sedate him...

From: [identity profile] bubosquared.livejournal.com


Hee! I dunno, for all his posturing, I think Jayne'd be smart enough to realise that Zoe and Simon would be much better at this captain thing than he would be. Of course, they're also much better than Mal, especially the "Planning things so NO ONE GETS SHOT AT" part.

Dude, Legolas is a Mirkwood elf, and they're pretty much canonically the White Trash of the elves. :D I mean, the whole dancing on the tables thing is pretty much what his dad does in The Hobbit.
