Help!

I am really tired and doing really boring things at work. Please distract me so I don't end up curled up under my desk asleep.

I'll even give you discussion questions:

1. Consider the following passages taken from this article:
The attractive actors first met during the filming of “Troy,” in which Orlando co-stared with Jen’s soon-to-be ex, Brad Pitt. But the two didn’t have plans to reconnect at the wedding. “Orlando didn’t even know Jennifer was going to be there,” said a friend of Jen’s. The two bonded over their mutual interest in redecorating, and were soon dancing, drinking champagne and whispering into each others ears, spies report. “Their super-flirty behavior surprised some of the other guests, but they didn’t look like they cared who was watching because they were so into each other,” Jen’s friend reported. Representatives for both celebrities told Life & Style that the two are just good friends.

a. On a scale of Adorable to a Soul Destroying, how wrong is a relationship between Orlando Bloom and Jennifer Anniston?

b. On a scale of Brad Pitt to George Clooney, how gay is Orlando?

2. If there was ever a celebrity addition of Amazing Race, which celebrities would you want to be on it? Who would win? Who would get lost? Who would spend the whole time drunk? Who would sleep with all the other contestants?

*G* Which end of the scale is which?

They should have a Heroes cast edition of the Amazing Race. Milo and Adrian would, of course, be partners.

There are so many bad dirty jokes I could make from that, I don't even know where to begin.

I would totally be in favor of Milo and Adrian as partners because they would be adorable and hilarious, but I'm pretty sure they would kind of suck, and get eliminated pretty early, but then they would go to sequesterville together, so I guess everyone would win in that case.

My friend [info]sffan is a big fan of the idea of bringing back Battle of the Network Stars and I really think it's a great idea. The Heroes cast would totally kick ass and be hilarious.

OMG, that would be awesome. The Heroes cast would totally own the competition. :D

And Adrian could film in all! And Jack could give commentary. Heroes cast vs Lost cast tug-of-war!

Dirty is good, but Jell-O leads to licking.

How long do you have? It could be a really long scale or you know, it could be shorter than the distance between thesewords. Just saying. Speaking Brad and George and gay, however, (as Ari I like to do) This still of George with a Sex Ramp (I still don't know how it works FYI) is from the film he's shooting with Brad right now. And no, I don't even have to make this shit up.

OK, that adds an entirely new dimension to "The Terminal Velocity of Spit."

I had to ask about the Sex Ramp. There's a website with pictures. It's not as exciting as I thought it would be. I think it was the word 'ramp' that confused me. I started thinking of the ramps that they use for skating and was trying to figure out how the sex ramp could be used for death defying sex stunts when it kind of looks like something you'd give to a toddler to make forts.

And why do I think there's a good chance that Brad and George were using it to make forts?

I didn't know what the hell it was either, still don't. It looks like a foam cheese wedge. Also, dude, stop saying that stuff about George and Brad making a fort, because [info]ethrosdemon and I were just lamenting that we didn't make an OT3 RPF category for [info]yuletide. We could've pulled everybody in. Matt. The kids. The beards. The not-beards. Jen. Everybody they've worked with in the last five years. I was pondering something called The Five Degrees of OT3.

That would be the most awesome thing to ever be called awesome.

Should I do yuletide? I've never done it before and the sign-up thingy scared and overwhelmed me.

I have done [info]yuletide every year it's been run, in fact, I've stopped signing up for challenges (too much stress), but I always make a point of doing this one, because it brings me so much enjoyment. Truly, by the time the archive opens getting a story isn't even that important to me, I just hope that my recepient enjoys the one I wrote. And it's an awesome chance to write stuff you wouldn't normally write (Clueless!), so far I've written The Usual Suspects, Ari (yes, I know that's cheating), Spider-Man 2 and het for Grey's Anatomy, so, yes, I think you should do it. I'll even be making a pimping point some time this week :-)

You know, I never watched all the behind the scenes stuff for Return of the King because a lot of it was about them all saying good-bye to each other and I knew I would cry and then would have to hate myself.

I didn't even like the first movie that much! But the pure crack awesomeness of the second one combined with watching all of the Two Towers extended DVDs in a 24 hour period permanently warped my brain.

I'd say Orlando is definitely heading off the scale into Johnny Weir levels of gayness.

I had to look up Johnny Weir because I wasn't 100 percent sure who he was and I learned that unlike most skaters, he spins clockwise. I have no clue what the significance of that is, but I am going to remember that fact forever.

Ridiculous. But I think Orlando could definitely give him a run for his money in the fey department.

I really wanted to think of something distracting for you, but all I came up with was that I dreamt Adrian Pasdar was one of my Sales Managers last night. AWESOME. Probably a good thing this doesn't happen in real life, as I'd never, ever get any work done. Plus the drool would do dreadful things to my keyboard.

Remember that article in mid-June or so, when the cast first started filming, that reported a sighting of Adrian, Sendhil, and Milo at a local coffee shop in Beverley Hills? They came in together and ordered breakfast, and something called a "Coffee Crush" (I have no idea what it is, but I want it *g*).

It's a good thing I don't work there, because I would have been SO fired. I don't know what I would have done, but it would most likely have gotten me fired. xD

I never get to have dreams like that! And not only would Adrian be distractingly hot to have as a manager, but I bet he would be very nice and could be convinced to take everyone on field trips to the beach and out for lunch.

I now desperately want to read the slashy celebrity Amazing Race crack fic series. There should be a community or something. I wish I had it in me to make it happen.

I nominate the teams Adrian/Milo (I can see Milo doing some god-awfully strenuous challenge thing while continuously complaining that it's ruining his designer clothes, while Adrian looks on and laughs his ass off), George Clooney/Brad Pitt (where I for some reason imagine Pitt would be doing all the actual work and Clooney would lounge around being supremely cool but entirely unhelpful, except when charming the locals out of directions when Pitt got them lost) and Matt Damon/Ben Affleck (with Affleck talking incessantly and annoying the hell out of everyone while Damon stoically reads the map and makes quiet alliances with other teams).

A few years ago, I thought about starting a celebrity Amazing Race RPG thingy, but then I started having to think about rules and other scary things, so I never did it, but I think it would be hilarious.

All those teams would be awesome! I could imagine both George and Matt getting fed up their teammates and deciding that they wanted to work together instead.

I also thought it would be fun to do a RPG with actual characters teaming up and racing against each other, so it could be like Team Petrelli vs. Team Winchester vs. Team Ocean/Ryan... they would have the best tagline - con artists in longterm relationship, using the race to decide if they are ready to take the next step.

Oh, it would. I'm now a bit in love with the idea. If I didn't think I'd be as crap at running it as I was with the Macheadgyver community (Don't ask!) I'd go ahead and set it up. *ponders rules anyway*

Team Petrelli vs. Team Winchester vs. Team Ocean/Ryan...

This might actually be a bit unfair, since the Winchester would be sure to win, given their life-long experience with road trips. Unless they were distracted by a poltergeist in the ventilation ducts of the Hong Kong airport, or something.

How brain-meltingly hot is Adrian, anyway?

The Heroes group likes each other more, so there would be less infighting, but, of course, they really, really, really like each other, so it might also be a bit distracting.
