i have literally never understood the purpose of the skateboard in that scene

or of almost any scene in the movie but especially that bit

also complete side note a friend of mine went to vegas saw penn and teller and told penn jillette "you were great in Hackers", which appeared to visibly irritate him

it's really a good lifehack to do things that mildly irritate celebrities, such as reminding penn jillette about hackers, asking steven seagal if he's putting on weight for his next role, or calling darius rucker "Hootie"

quote:

ORDER
The Court is aware of the growing lack of civility and professionalism among the parties in this case and, therefore, puts the parties on notice of several options available to it if such conduct continues. Through its inherent power to maintain respect and decorum, the Court is granted the flexibility to equitably tailor a sanction that appropriately fits any misconduct. See Plaintiffs’ Baycol Steering Comm. v. Bayer Corp., 419 F.3d 794, 802 (8th Cir. 2005) (recognizing inherent power to sanction after notice and opportunity to be heard). Available sanctions include a lecture from the Court, a monetary penalty, a recommendation by the Court to the appropriate bar association that the attorney be subject to disciplinary action, or a public reprimand directly by the Court and made available on the Court’s website.

The Court recognizes that this is a contentious and vigorously disputed lawsuit. But the Court expects the parties to treat each other, the Temporary Receiver (which is appointed by, and serves as, an officer of the Court), and the Court with professionalism and respect. Name calling, veiled suggestions, ad hominem attacks, and unfounded accusations directed at opposing counsel, the Temporary Receiver, or the Court will not be tolerated and potentially subjects a party to the above sanctions.
...
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: October 27, 2014 /s/ Brian C. Wimes
JUDGE BRIAN C. WIMES
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

he still signed my copy of "monstrous regiment" later, but he was still giving that look and i feel kind of bad about it even now

i did this without thinking to terry pratchett once

was a group of about maybe thirty people at a bookstore signing, somebody asked about a sequel to good omens and he said something along the lines of "people think that neil gaiman and i are a lot closer than we are"

and i, being a complete rear end in a top hat who thought he was being funny, said without thinking at all, "yeah, i've read that fanfic"

the audience howled and pratchett gave me this look like he wanted me to burst into flame, and i sort of hid behind a friend and kept my mouth shut the rest of the q/a session

how is this not an appropriate joke?

Heresiarch posted:

because the joke was basically "wouldn't it be funny if people wrote slash fanfic about you two" and that's really not a funny idea at all to the people in question. yeah, it's hysterical to everybody else but not to him for what should be obvious reasons
