cblj_backupSam Starbuck brings the internet TO YOU!
Actually I just ended up with a lot of lolarious links today.
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
seneska pointed out that xkcd has intriguing timing given what I posted about last night -- I swear I'm not Randall Munroe, though there are days I wish I was.
misswinterhill linked me to a video of BABY SLOTHS OMG WHY ARE THEY SO AWESOME. I especially like the Zen Sloth Monk in the last shot, he looks like he could tell us the secret of the universe but that would spoil all the fun.
hija_paloma linked to this song/vid while making a point about Transformative Works, and I can't stop listening to it. I would be ashamed, but sorry, I'm too busy ROCKING OUT.
And then....there was the Doctorcorn.
So yesterday, in response to my post about my uneasy but awesome relationship with the internet,wildeagain said, "Wow, you're a little like a unicorn. You exist and do not exist." This inspired some awesome filk and also caused me to remark to amand_r and misswinterhill that I'd been called a unicorn. Which inspired the following conversation:
Amand_r: You're visually elusive? Can only be touched by virgins? Your blood can bring Voldemort into this world again?
MissWinterhill: Merlin will cry if you die! Don't die, Sam! (You're nowhere near innocent enough to be a unicorn, are you?)
Sam: I don't know that unicorns are all that innocent, are they? They're just attracted to it. Which is kind of ooky now I think on it. UNICORNS. I AM AMBIVALENT.
And then I linked to an image that we had discovered a few weeks before whenamand_r linked us, of a famous French porn star named Fred Faurtin dressed as a unicorn. The campest unicorn ever to prance, in fact.
Believe it or not, that's not the funniest photo of the set. You can see the rest here, if you're into it; they're pretty NSFW, even if you don't have a filter, given the close-up shots of a cock encased in pink pleather. (Side note: Fred Faurtin recently released an art book that actually looks pretty awesome; lest ye judge him for the unicorns, this, also NSFW, is from another shoot he did recently.)
ANYWAY.snaxcident took issue!
Snaxcident: The cuffs and collar are non-canonical. They throw me right out of the manicorn fantasy! Everyone knows gay unicorns don't wear bowties!!!!
Sam: BOW TIES ARE COOL OK
MissWinterhill: Oh, pleeeeaase make a doctorcorn.
And then I opened photoshop.
I think he's workin' it, don't you?
(Incidentally, does anyone think that picture makes it look like the TARDIS is sneaking up behind him for some nefarious purpose?)
