A Second Dose of Brainfart from Hell

again, excerpts from a conference with Cima, Joao, Jonathan, AG, and myself...

Joao Atienza: that black chick looks like she has a 5ocklock shadow
Ronald Cimafranca: You're under arest!
Joao Atienza: 5oclock shadow
Ronald Cimafranca: That chick needs to shave.
Joao Atienza: the plot thickens
Ronald Cimafranca: Wow. Cutting edge transitions and editing... Breath-taking or nauseating? You decide.
bok_gil: what the heck are you guys talking about?!
Joao Atienza: csi miami
...
Ronald Cimafranca: Operation Black Market sounds like a retarded name.
Joao Atienza: exciting yan
Joao Atienza: hehe
Ronald Cimafranca: Why can't they come up with operation names like Mustang Flex or Block Party?
weretiger55: You expect the monkeys to come up with something better?
...
Ronald Cimafranca: Among the three CSI franchises, Miami has the greatest potential to be a first=person shooter game.
Angelo gian De Mesa: BWHAHAHAHA
weretiger55: it also has the least potential to be a crime-solving puzzle game
Joao Atienza: you won't need a god mode
Ronald Cimafranca: Like Max Payne, they all have special abilities. Horatio can magically appear out of thin air behind enemies and summon Dleko to take the hit for him.
Ronald Cimafranca: *Delko
weretiger55: Delko superpower is "meat Shield"?
Ronald Cimafranca: Yes.
...
Joao Atienza: oh oh oh oh
Joao Atienza: here it goes
Ronald Cimafranca: shit!
bok_gil: what happened?
Ronald Cimafranca: Caine just happened.
Joao Atienza: yyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

If Horatio Caine Had to Fight Fire...

Here's what he would use...

It (Should Have Won) An Emmy

So there I was, enjoying a beautiful Sunday afternoon watching TV, watching a replay of the world's most popular program (according to a 2006 article reported by the BBC), CSI: Miami. (Quick aside: As you can deduce from this post and a previous one, this blog has a... "thing" for CSI: Miami. More about this in the future.) During the commercial break, the network trumpeted its lineup of shows that received nominations for the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards. Then came CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and CSI: NY, nominated for a couple of technical awards. And there I was thinking that CSI: Miami was coming up next, but it's name didn't come up. One of the first thoughts that came to my mind was complete and utter surprise. After all, to paraphrase Ricky Bobby, that show won an Emmy. For what, you ask me? For Best TV Show Ever Made, that's what. (For more Will Ferrell gems, click here.) The second thought was about whether the extra pancakes we had for breakfast were still good to eat. But all thoughts of hunger were swept from my mind by the egregious ("Egregious!" echoed Captain Jack Sparrow) snub by the Academy for Television Arts and Sciences. Not even one nomination for CSI: Miami this year. Hopefully, they realize the error of their ways next year and give the show its proper due. Or else, Miami justice will take its course.

And if you're curious, the episode I was watching featured a near-abduction of a child by a pedophile, sorry, Man-boy love, umm, advocate(?) And because we're big fans of promoting ourselves, I hope you enjoy this rant on NAMbLA. (Yes, the segue was weak and tenuous, but we love promoting ourselves, so there.)
