Epic Coffee Spill

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @Thtrnerd221

Today, my little brother told me to look up this video on YouTube, so I did. This is what came up.

 

 

If you recall, I wrote an article about two months ago making fun of BP. This video is just a little follow up on that.

 

I hope you enjoyed.

Things that don't make sense...

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @maniacalmorgan

 

 

I've been thinking a lot recently about phrases that we use that make absolutely no sense. I'm not so naive to think that there isn't some legitimate explanation for these phrases, but logically speaking they make no sense. Here's a couple of them

 

"Sweating like a pig"- Ok, do I really need to be the one to say that pigs don't sweat? We don't use the phrase in a sarcastic sense. If you are sweating profusely, you are sweating like a pig. Rolling around in your own filth to cool yourself off is really what "sweating like a pig" should refer to. And I reserve such actions for when I binge on tequila. 

 

"Piss like a racehorse"- Do racehorses piss any faster than a normal horse? I mean, racehorses obviously are fast animals, but that has nothing to do with their biologic functions. I really am baffled by this one. Someone, somewhere spent far too much time watching racehorses piss.

 

"All thumbs"- Human being as a species are at the top of the food chain because of our cognitive abilities and opposable thumbs. Our thumbs are the most dexterous phalanges we have on our body. If we had all thumbs, wouldn't that mean we could do some crazy things with our hands? Wouldn't our hands become more dexterous and even more coordinated? Maybe the phrase should be "I'm all toes." 

 

"It's raining cats and dogs"- Really? I've never seen it rain cats and dogs and I'm willing to bet that very few people on Earth ever have. Those that have were probably using some extremely powerful psychedelics. Cats and dogs have nothing to do with how hard it's raining. Did you know hamsters affect the tides? True story.

OMG OMG OMG! Epic #FF!!

OMGG OMGGG OMMGGGG!! Looky, looky what just popped up in my twitter feed!!!

 

 

Kyle Newman ... yes THHEEEEEE Kyle Newman totally showed me some #FF love!! I kinda don't know what to do with myself.

 

 

See ... Kyle and I go way back ... wayyyy back to this ...

 

 

 

Even though I can't say exactly what the story is just yet morning glory (boo, legal!) ... I can certainly place ALLLLLLL the dots on this page, and allow you, the smart nerdy little lovers that you are - a chance to connect the dots.

 

See, they totally took an idea that I had for a webseries, and are turning it into a major motion picture. Like so major that the budget has a whole lotta zeroes. See here's the cover page of the script written by @bryceless

 

 

So YAY! I'm already looking for places in San Fran and San Fran adjacent - looks like I'll be moving up there within the next few weeks to month (give or take, things are just happening so damn fast with the script and other awesome TNTML related opportunities).

 

SOOO!!! @bryceless is a big deal, and totally called up Kyle and was like yo, you need to check this out. I wrote this treatment and uh it rocks.

 

We then had a meeting ... see, here's the post the day we had the meeting.

 

That was a very good day in my life.

 

See ... this is me ... saying "this is a very good day"

 

 

So, now I have a major uber big wig lawyer ... *waves* hi, Dave Feldman. AN AWESOME script registerd with the WGA, and a connection to an uberly awesome director- whose role I cannot announce just yet ... but let's just say ... it's pretty fucking cool.

 

I can't thank you all enough. Sincerely, from the bottom of my very nerdy little heart - I've just been sitting here all week going "you have got to be kidding me!!!"

 

See ... this is me ... saying "you have got to be kidding me"

 

 

None of this makes sense to me, and that's what's AWESOME about it!! Life is SOOOOOOO illogical. I've just been a good nerd along the way and have been documenting everything in real time on this blessed little website. I have no clue what's next, but next week the Unapologetically Awesome Tour hit San Fran AND NYC!!! SOOOO STOKEEDDDD!!!!! =)

 

Buckle up, TNTML ... #SHITGOTREAL

The List: The Top 5 Cinematic #Geek Babes

 #TalkNerdyToMeLover's Victor Ho

I apologize to my female readers in advance. This list is geared towards anybody with the Y chromosome who digs hot girls. You see, in high school I was a total nerd. No cheerleader or girl next door would even know I existed. Instead of going on dates, I went alone to the movies where a guy with no life can retreat in a make-believe world of femmes fatales. I’ve since become a pop culture ninja. Give me a list of X-Men females and I can tell you who I’d cast to play the movie role. I could have listed up to 50 girls but this is not Maxim. I do enjoy watching chick flicks though (I loved Dirty Dancing and Fried Green Tomatoes) and perhaps I can make it up to you with a chick flicks list for manly men in the future.

 

And no, there will not be anything from porn. So let’s begin with…

 

5. ANGELA HAYES (MENA SUVARI) FROM AMERICAN BEAUTY

 

 

 

 

It’s probably one of the best movies in the past decade. Kevin Spacey plays a character we can fictionally relate to. He’s a hard-working man with an unloving family and going through a mid-life crisis. His life takes a tragic turn when he tries to define a beautiful moment. It helps when you have eye candy in the form of a seductive cheerleader like Mena Suvari. She brings a new meaning to the saying “stop and smell the roses.”

 

4. MIKAELA BANES (MEGAN FOX) FROM TRANSFORMERS

 

 

 

 

Giant robots plus hot babes equals I’m so there! It doesn’t matter if I’ve never seen a girl that looks like Megan Fox in my pathetic 4 years of high school. What does matter is that she knows automobiles. And that can be a turn on to some guys who are into the fast and the furious kind of stuff.

 

3. NANCY CALLAHAN (JESSICA ALBA) FROM SIN CITY

 

 

 

 

In the original graphic novel by Frank Miller (writer of The Dark Knight Returns), the Nancy Callahan character dances topless. But in the movie version, Jessica Alba bumps and grinds with a lasso that makes you forget you wanted to see her naked in the first place. At the 2008 San Diego Comic-Con, Miller said when he first saw Alba dancing up on stage to a song he picked, he had tears coming down from his eyes. I don’t blame him.

 

2. LINDA BARRETT (PHOEBE CATES) FROM FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH

 

 

There is one scene that ranks as the most famous and accurate adolescent act ever done on film. Judge Reinhold plays a loser high school senior who spies on the sexy Phoebe Cates in the swimming pool. Backed by a classic 80's song by The Cars, he begins to fantasize about making out with her. Right before he gets into a beautiful agony, he is interrupted by the real world Cates in an embarrassing situation. It's outdated but still a classic!

 

1. PRINCESS LEIA ORGANA (CARRIE FISHER) FROM STAR WARS: EPISODE VI-RETURN OF THE JEDI

The official geek term is Slave Girl Leia. It’s no surprise Leia gets her forceful charms from a hot MILF and a bad-ass Sith warrior. The image of her from innocent damsel in distress to hot body bikini contest winner of a galaxy far away has remained the most popular fantasy dream girl among Gen X males… and beyond. Jennifer Aniston never looked so funny when she dressed up as one in the hit TV show, Friends. And I’m shooting myself in the foot for missing the Deal or No Deal episode where all the female models wore the costume. But in, Fanboys, it girl Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars, Heroes) got her chance to tease some lightsabers.

 

HONORABLE MENTION: NUMBER SIX (TRICIA HELFER) FROM BATTLESTAR GALACTICA

 

 

You know what I'm talking about... any scene with Tricia Helfer in it is absolutely mesmerizing. Man, if the frakkin’ Cylons look anything like her, I would have surrendered faster than Baltar can wiggle out of his guilty conscious. And how lucky can a bitch like Baltar be to get into a threesome with Number Six and D’Anna (Lucy Lawless; also known as Xena: Warrior Princess)?!?

 

Editor's note: The TNTML difference between a geek and a nerd? Nerds are a product of a genetic predisposition, geeks are raised. #nuffsaid
