Ugly John the Gas Passer.

For me? Hmm. Lara Croft ... from the games, not the movie, thanks much.

When I was sixteen a friend used to say I was just like Diane.
I had enough sense to be insulted.

When I lived with two major-league Friends fans, they thought I was just like Phoebe.
I wasn't offended, just completely baffled. You can ask Limey & Dana, that is nothing like me IRL. Proof positive - watching too many episodes of Friends warps your view of the real world.

I love Phoebe. My 21 year old niece acts like her too. It's that quirky brain, which is a big compliment.

There's a Seinfeld scene where Elaine is staying on Jerry's parent's hide-a-bed, with a big bar in the middle as those beds go. She's ticked off and tossing and flipping and jerking about...my ex goes "hey, that's you."

My friend and I had fun with the Diane/Woody thing. Of course he wasn't dumb like Woody and I wasn't a snot like Diane. I saw him last year, manager of a home store, and he came up and said "Diane?" I was like "Woody?" It's been over 20 years since we worked together.

A couple of people have told me I used to be a little like Honey-bunny/Yolanda from Pulp Fiction. Or rather, that they could see me playing that role. Particularly the cafe scene;p



I dunno who I am like really. But I reckon if me and Sundae were to be involved in a terrible merging accident a la The Fly, we'd end up as Miranda :p

Oh wow, I'd forgotten Tim Roth did that role in Pulp Fiction. I've been watching him recently in the TV series Lie to Me, very strange juxtaposition of characters.

I watched the first couple of episodes of that. Bit shaky, but interesting. Does it get better as it goes on?

omg yeah, HunnyBunny for sure. That movie is burned into my memory so I see the scene without even clicking on it. Almost kinda have it memorized. That's great.

I don't know who that other person is, but I see the merge effect of you and Sundae.

I missed a lot of the first season, and picked it back up in season two. It's enjoyable, but I wouldn't say I'm bouncing to watch the next episode or anything. The individual plots of each episode are very good, interesting twists and all that, but the character development is pretty spotty. One episode two characters have a budding romance, the next episode they hate each other, and not a hell of a lot shown to explain it.

But it is fun to watch Roth play his little eccentric self.

Back when I wore my hair long, I had a number of comments about my resemblance to Steven Seagal. I was flattered, 'ooo, someone thinks I'm a movie star", but there was this one fellow at the bar who would not be dissuaded. He was *certain* that I was merely trying to bluff to keep the paparazzi away. I sure hope he didn't drive home.

I picture Gravdigr as Bluto in Animal House. Is Merc really Trapper John or perhaps Duke from MASH (the book, not the TV series)?
I thought on this for a moment. There is definitely a Bluto-esque facet to my existence. However, staying with the Animal House analogy, D-Day would be more accurate, in a broader sense.

My take: Gravdigr: One part D-Day, one part The Dude, one part Kramer, with a dash of Lou Grant, and a pinch of George Costanza.



Strictly Cellar-speaking:

Gravdigr = Donny Kerabatsos

Most of the rest of The Cellar = Walter Sobchak

"Shut the fuck up, Gravdigr."
