Every time I see @fontana dent now, I am jealous that I didn't think to make George Bailey into my avatar before he did. #ItsAWonderfulLife
Tuesday, 03-May-11 21:23:08 UTC from web-
Hm, I wonder if I'd be purely culturally derivative of @fontana if I made my avatar #MrSmithGoesToWashington's filibuster scene instead.
-
@fontana,HEY! we're nearly same age. I'm born '73. Although,my favorite actor in '85 was #MichaelJFox. I got into Jimmy #Stewart in late 80s
-
@fontana,we do a road trip to Jimmy #Stewart museum. We could blog it as "Free software geeks investigate whether #ItsAWonderfulLife or not"
-
@bkuhn: So you're thinking of going to the Pennsylvania town that is named Indiana then?
-
@alpacaherder, only if @fontana wants to do a road trip w/ me. Indiana is drivable from !NYC, as long as it is in Pennsylvania. :)
-
@bkuhn: Nah, fly in to Jack Murtha's airport (JST) in Johnstown. That would be easier as Indiana is nowhere near major thoroughfares.
-
@alpacaherder,point is:I'm proposing @fontana & I to spend hours in car together;We might end up writing !GPL v4 along the way or something☺
-
@bkuhn You should do a Dave Yates interview with all 3 of you driving.
-
@bkuhn: I'd chip in on the gasoline for that
-
@mjjzf That sounds like a terrible idea - how would they get everyone's hands on the steering wheel?
-
@windigo I am sure something can be hacked.
-
@alpacaherder, @fontana is artfully avoiding answering me about trip to Jimmy #Stewart museum. I think his claim of being a fan was a #troll
-
@fontana, My love for #MichaelJFox was centered around #BackToTheFuture. You find it !disturbing due to his portrayal of Alex P. Keaton?
-
@fontana, does it help my case at all that by early 1988, my favorite actors were #Brent_Spiner & #Patrick_Stewart? #STTNG changed my life.
-
@fontana, I do find regular automobile transportation !disturbing, but I think it's reasonable for occasional use. We should plan this trip!
-
@fontana, all sitcoms are !disturbing, but I liked that Keatons worked for non-profit org. I also had mild crush on Tina Yothers #FamilyTies
-
@fontana, which part's "beyond !disturbing"? Mild crush on Tina Yothers? Is it worse that I had bigger crush on Missy #Gold of #Benson?
-
@bkuhn We are same age. I recall really liking it. Saw first episode with Ferengi a few months ago. Cringe-worthy. Bad scifi is v bad indeed
-
@fontana,Not sure what you mean;but you seen #ReadingRainbow show re: making #STTNG? It's good, but you don't have to take *my* word for it!
-
@fontana, c'mon, not *that* !disturbing. I've a theory: younger kids are into anyone near their age on TV. It's why we've got Wesley Crusher
-
@fontana,Justine Bateman's character made me dislike her (she was dumb). Meanwhile,Tina #Yothers' character was smartest of #FamilyTies kids
-
@bkuhn I've observed the same with myself, it's easier to form a connection if you already have a sliver of one
-
@fontana, what's !disturbing, frankly, is that I'm now starting to recall dozens upon dozens of plot lines from various #FamilyTies episodes
-
@fontana, Diff'rent Strokes would surely not be made today.. But, I think Bateman's #FamilyTies character still occurs on sitcoms, though.
-
@fontana, I am pretty sure I only watched #FamilyTies through Season 5. I saw few of the "Alex in college" episode that had Courtney Cox.
-
@fontana, do you remember that Tom Hanks was the #FamilyTies' kids' uncle w/ a drinking problem & drank their maraschino cherries?
-
@fontana, Skippy was probably the character I identified w/ most on #FamilyTies. I found Nick !disturbing: artist who was basically a jock!
-
@fontana, I think that's a pathetic & !disturbing attempt to derail this 80's TV thread to a discussion of !FaiF software.
-
@fontana, that's quite correct. I surely loved #BosomBuddies. Not as much as #PerfectStrangers though, my preferred 80's buddy comedy.
-
@rms told me in 1998: his father offered him TV for college & RMS said no & felt he'd "avoided accepting drug that'd've been very addictive"
-
@fontana, meanwhile, if we're going to talk #FactsOfLife, I'll have to bring up my later TV crushes, such as Mindy Cohn (who played Natalie)
-
@fontana, that can't be right. #PerfectStrangers started in 1986 & we've been discussed shows you're familiar with that aired later.
-
@dbs, IIRC, he drank just about everything w/ alcohol. He then said to Alex: "Sit down & have a glass of maraschino cherries w/ your uncle?"
-
@fontana, I'd guess @rms'd have higher chance of liking #AllInTheFamily than #SanfordAndSon. I'm not convinced TV watchers can't do !FaiF sw
-
@fontana,mentioning #SanfordAndSon reminds me:I found it !disturbing: #Obama confused it w/ the #Jeffersons during his campaign ur1.ca/42u7a
-
@fontana, I have long agreed w/ Michael Moore: most USAmericans watch a good amount of TV: watching it keeps you connected w/ them.
-
@fontana, meanwhile,I find it highly !disturbing that you have never seen #ST_DS9, but as you know, it's my favorite show in TV history.
-
@fontana,one reason it bothers me you haven't seen non- #ST_TOS ST is I've good analogies for most #OpenSource ppl w/ various aliens from ST
-
I'm defiantly setting my alarm for 6 hrs from now. I can't let staying up way too late discussing 80s TV w/ @fontana delay work tomorrow.
-
@fontana, Indeed, IMO #FactsOfLife theme song about "taking good & taking bad" together referred to putting up w/ Blair to watch Natalie.
-
@bkuhn Really? Keaton mom was way hotter!
-
@bkuhn With MJ Fox (Spin City), Benson & West Wing, you made me think of political shows. Yes Minister, House of Cards my favourites.
-
@bkuhn, an alarm 6 hours later did *not* work out. I over slept, as I should have expected. It was a mistake to discuss 80s TV all night.
-
@joncruz,also JMS basically exaggerated that he had a clear plan for the whole of B5. More was left unresolved with it than many other shows
-
@bkuhn You can clearly see a shift in the direction of DS9 the more B5 gained popularity
-
@bkuhn Those were left behind in purpose, unlike ST/DS9 reset button mentality, a story can't exist in a contained package
-
@bkuhn "those writing #Mono <http://identi.ca/tag/mono> are free software developers" - depends which platform doesn't …
-
@bkuhn You're confusing me with someone who didn't see all 3 series to know the difference. But sure, let's not debate this
-
@fontana, meanwhile, you must be more tired than me! I know we went to sleep around same time & I'm surely barely awake at this point.
-
@fontana, I read various articles that convinced me 8-9 hrs of sleep per 24 was very important for health. Should I thus go back to bed?
-
@bkuhn as per our #rhinovirus convo, longterm helth > short term productivity
-
@fontana,I did go back to sleep for 1 more hour. I'll need to work a bit late tonight to compensate, but my wife has to work late too anyway
-
@ciarang, Thanks, I updated my blog post on #Mono developer firings to note that it's not !FaiF on !Android: http://ur1.ca/42teb
-
My jealousy of @fontana's avatar grew out of control;I had to do something. #ItsAWonderfulLife #MrSmithGoesToWashington #Capra #JimmyStewart
