I'm currently obsessed with "Lovely Ladies" for some reason. I've heard about 30 different versions this night. | ||||
| lesmisloony |
I love Lovely Ladies. I'm going to be one for Halloween.
I was actually telling my coworkers today that I was going to be a whore for Halloween... a consumptive 19th century whore! And they were like "...hot?" |

You want to join your friend/ex-crush who is singing marius' part of "one day more" at the end of choir at school as cosette.

Facebook wall-to-wall conversation with a friend.
Loony: Hi, friend! I heard you were going to take a trip to Broadway soon... to see Little Mermaid? I have a bootleg of it... If Norm Lewis is still in as Triton, I demand you stagedoor and meet him. He used to be Javert in Les Mis, and he was... greatness. ...I may have a leetle crush on him... Loony's Friend: Norm and I had a pow-wow, and he now knows of a female in North Carolina who basically is in love with him... He requests your presence in New York City to engage in sexual song activity..... I told him you would RSVP immediately... : ) 
|

Mmmm. Norm Lewis. Is awesomeness. I fangirl his Intervention kinda a lot. | ||||

My sister illegal photocopied like 100 pages out of somebody's Les Mis SE score.
I've been playing it on the piano all day. It's kinda fun. |
||||
| Quique |
I've always wanted to dress like a Lovely Lady! Or at least their pimp.
I think I listened to ever version I own last night. Except the revival version, which makes me want to pour acid into my ears. |

YKYOWLM when you're desperately searching for a new Les Mis name for your computer. My harddrive died, so to me, Grantaire is officially dead.
He died two months after my friend's computer, Enjolras, did. They're in computer heaven together exploring their subtext. I'm deciding between Hugo, Gavroche and Marius right now. Hm.... I decided naming a computer after a drunkard is a bad idea. |
||||
| lesmisloony |
YKYOWLMW... you flip to "The Man in the Iron Mask" during commercials of something else because Malkovich is involved, and a few moments later see Gerard Depardieu and an enormous mustache wandering around. You're enthralled--especially when Leonardo Dicaprio, who was in that movie with Virginie Ledoyen, shows up. I think I may have shouted aloud, "Geez, has Dicaprio done a film with Enrico Lo Verso too?"
Annyway, I'm watching that movie for a little while, and then there's this giant ball or something, and this really thick masked woman is dancing clumsily with this masked guy, and I think, "I bet that's a guy in drag." Well, it was a guy in drag--it was Depardieu. And his dancing partner? Malkovich. I started laughing like a maniacal guinea pig, and it got even worse when a Valjean/Javert notion worked its way into my tired brain. (Um, before I post this, let me just state for those of you that didn't follow: in the 2000 miniseries, Depardieu played Valjean, Malkovich Malkovich played Javert, Enrico Lo Verso played the world's fugliest Marius, and Virginie Ledoyen played my favourite Cosette ever. So what I was seeing was Valjean, in a dress and giant mustache, dancing with Javert.) |

YKYOWLMW....
Instead of offering constructive help while your chem group is working on a presentation due at midnight, you write the names of all the ABC's on your hand in various places, along with the word "subtext," and write them so darkly that there's blue ink all over your face in the morning and, despite much scrubbing, the marks are still visible. Also, to stay awake during an hour and a half of deadly dull chem presentations, you write Les Mis lyrics in your notebook starting with the Overture/Look Down and making it through IDAD. Les Mis... my anti-chem drug. |

| EponineMNFF |
YKYOWLMW
You're in a mall and you hear someone say "Eponine" and you respond. I actually spun around and said, "Yeah?" before realizing that's not my name. I guess that's more of a you know you're addicted to mdn thing. |
||||
| lesmisloony |
XD YKYOWLMW you see the story that some stranger in the mall said Eponine, and you immediately think that if that were you overhearing the name, you'd dash over and demand to know why.
OH! And when you're driving home from work and your CD player dies, so, since the radio in your grandma's borrowed Oldsmobile is broken, you are forced to sing for yourself for entertainment. And you spend a long time trying to sing OMO as if you were Book!Eponine. It's really hard! Try it sometime! (When you're alone is the best bet.) |

For those who are tired of this altered lay-out, here is an alternate forum created by a member here, as a temp to MdN.
http://jordanup.proboards91.com/index.cgi I created a Les Mis forum just for you peoples.

Oh I try all too often. >.< |

When you draw a kinda a Grantaire thing in oil pastel. Its not really based on anyone, not the face anyway (because as you can see its a bit weird) but the hair is Drew's. I'll upload it when photobucket stops being silly. | ||||

I was doing this last night and I though "what the heck, post it and see what they think"
-When you're watching a concert that has nothing to do with Les Mis and you end up matching the songs with Les Mis characters. |
||||
| herkind |
I do that too. Or I'll cast the actors in a certain movie or people in my math class in Les Mis. |
||||
| lesmisloony |
^ Me too! Sometimes I cast various singers at church as well.
And! A few years ago, the only reason I went to see the movie "Sky High" three times is because one of the actors in, Steven Strait, looked eerily like my mental Montparnasse (at the time). And now I have a huge crush on Steven Strait that also made me sit through "Undiscovered" and might even drag me down to see "10,000 BC." When will that guy ever act in a decent movie? |
||||
| lizavert |
Okay, got another one.
-When you hear someone mention orphan socks from the dryer and your first thought is "Feuilly!" btw, I heard a song in that concert that would have been perfect for Montparnasse. I think it was called "Heartbreaker" EDIT: I also found one for Colonel Pontmercy, called "My Boy". And one of the singers would make a great Valjean. *blinks at edit* I'll stop now. |
||||
| Catherine |
Not really an obsession, but when your facial expression is:
    
When you see a Les Mis track on iTunes marked as Musicals and Dinsey. Oh dear Lord. |

YKYAOWLM...
when you are watching a silly spanish tv series set in a highschool and suddenly you realize that one of the students looks exactly like Adam Jacobs and you burst: "Look! Marius!". Then, there is a silence around you and only when you look around and see that nobody has a clue what you're talikng about, you do realize that there is no way for them to know who on earth Adam jacobs is. YKYAOWLM... when you are walking through central madrid and take Victor Hugo street and the people who walk with you feel the need to point it out, because they know about your obsession. Of course, these poor and innocent people really didn't want you to start explaining that the street is called "Victor Hugo" because he lived in the neighbourhood with his family during the Napoleonian War, "because his father was an officer of the napoleonian army, just like Marius's father, and by the way, Marius borrows a lot of traits from young Victor Hugo.." And they certainly did not want you to start explaining in which exact corner of which street from another area of town was located the "seminario de nobles" were he was a student while living in the town.... |
||||
| lesmisloony |
Back when I used Limewire all the time LM tracks were often credited to Andrew Lloyd Webber. That made me FURIOUS. |
||||
| lesmisloony |
YKYOWLMW... you're sort of watching/ignoring an old subtitled video of "Tartuffe" in French class, and every time you hear someone use the adjective "miserable" your head snaps up of its own accord. Eventually people around you start to notice, and the next time someone describes someone as "miserable" your head pops up again, and you realise that several students are watching you and grinning. | ||||
| Quique |
Omfg, I remember that too! I was like, GRRRRR. 
|
||||
| Orestes Fasting |
YKYOWLMW you go off on gigantic research tangents loosely centered around LM--which leads you to collect maps of 19th century Paris (and the 19th century Parisian sewer system, and the catacombs, and the public wells), read the memoirs of Vidocq, poke through Googlebooks for contemporary descriptions of the prisons, read the publications and trial records of 1830s revolutionaries, know more than you really should about the history of French prostitutes, and occasionally research other people's fanfiction for them just for fun.
Yes, I do love my primary sources, why do you ask? *hugs them* (And no, you don't want to know what my combined Google/Wiki search history looks like.) |
||||
| Quique |
You soooo could have been a HUGE help back when I took History 2 a few years ago, which dealt primarily with French politics and everything leading up to and after the French revolution, hehe.
I got a B in that class.
|
||||
| Orestes Fasting |
Bahaha, I'm a little fuzzy on everything before the Estates-General. And my knowledge of the Napoleonic Wars is shamefully vague.
...not to mention that I've spent too much book-time with dead revolutionaries and it's made me something of a Robespierre apologist. XD (Also, YKYOWLMW you get the random urge to doodle Fantine, and spend half an hour poking through Regency clothing sites to figure out WTF a canezou was anyway.) |
||||
| lesmisloony |
Ooh, did you figure it out?
My doodles are usually wearing some sort of musical/movie(s) hybrid outfit, matching my favourite elements from various costumes I've seen... |
||||
| Orestes Fasting |
It's a sort of spencer, a very short high-collared vest or jacket worn over a dress--kind of like the late-Regency equivalent of a cardigan. I'm not sure exactly what the difference is between a spencer and a canezou--a canezou might be more embellished, I think.
Examples:  
My doodles of Fantine ended up being very loosely based off the second one. |
||||
| Fantine |
You fall when you finally discover that Belle (from Disney's Beauty and the Beast, aka Paige O'Hara) has played Fantine. Two idols merged into one. *gasp* | ||||
| lesmisloony |
And since Terrence Mann was the OBC Beast, I have immediately declared that this somehow makes Javert/Fantine canon.
*nods* YKYOWLMW... someone sees your doodles of a handsome young dandy with a knife at a scantily-clad woman's throat and says, "Oh my God, who's that?" and you just say, "Jack the Ripper," cos you're tired of telling people allll about your obsession with Montparnasse. Except I'm actually not tired of telling people about my Montylove; I'm worried people are going to run when they see me coming or start rolling their eyes at everything you say. Oh, another one! When... you're in psychology, and the professor asks the class to call out the names of people they consider geniuses. He writes their suggestions on the blackboard, and before long it's covered with "Einstein" and "Socrates" and "Shakespeare"... so you just go, "VICTOR HUGO." And, much to your squeetastic delight, the professor says, "Yeah! That's a good one! No one's said Hugo in any of my classes! Great!" and writes it on the board in capitals. Muahaha. |
||||
| Catherine |
You consider going to see this Masters of the House thing at your local theatre because it has old Les Mis stars and Les Mis songs in it.
Should I buy tickets? |
||||
| Quique |
When you have a crush on http://www.alistairappleton.com/ for no apparent reason!! Except that he's beautiful. | ||||
| lizavert |
Yes you should. I know I would. BTW, I love that new banner! |
||||
| Catherine |
Ha ha, yeah, I'll buy tickets
Thanks, I made it aaages ago on Paint. Glad you like it! EDIT: When you "Squeeeeee!" when you finally see the Simpsons episode when Sideshow Bob is prisoner 24601. =] Edit 2: When you change your display picture to this <<< |
||||
| lesmisloony |
I lurrrve your new stuff, Catherine!
We finally got you... muaha. |
||||
| bigR |
So OT, but I think I must have overlooked your post at the moment, and I just can't shut up. I can't hate that movie any more than I do! Is there is something on earth I am geeky about it is that period of history + I absolutely fangirl Dumas. D'Artagnan having an affair with Queen Ana and fathering Louis XIV? 
You know, it actually HURTS just to write it down. If you want to have an idea how it feels, take the 1998 Les Mis movie and multiply it x 100 Or, I don't know, picture Marius and Enjolras fighting madly for Cosette's love on top of the barricade until Marius decides to let Enjolras have her because he's suddenly fallen in love with �ponine, while Javert decides to become an insurgent and join the insurrection. Since Valjean and Javert are really badasses, they kill half the military, the army surrenders, and the movie ends with a double wedding with Javert and Valjean acting as godfathers (it's a catholic double wedding). Got an idea now? |
||||
| Catherine |
hahaha, cheers =] They're both Confrontation. I was watching a vid and I saw that image and I was like "Oooh! Printscreen!" Teehee |
||||
| lesmisloony |
When you try to play your beloved LM cartoon VHS and only get static, so you become convinced that your father in trying (and failing) to transfer it to DVD for you accidentally taped over it. So you sit in front of a blank TV screen and cry for an hour. ...Then, your father comes home, hears of the problem, and explains that you have the TV on the wrong channel... and changes it to channel one and, Voila! Les Mis cartoon.
I am a LM drama queen, I suppose.
GAAHH NYAAA DO NOT SAY SUCH THINGS! I will never fangirl Depardieu/Malkovich again (in front of you) I promise! |
||||
| Catherine |
Here's the Grantaire artwork thingy I told you about a while back
Yeah... thats supposed to be the barricade... 
|
||||
| bigR |
Kragey seems to have done everlasting damage to Grantaire's public image! |
||||
| lesmisloony |
Hehehe, I saw "Britney Spears" and "Poor Enjy" and I couldn't stop grinning.
Catherine! Your barricade looks a lot like one I drew when I was in ninth grade! http://www.angelfire.com/musicals/lesmisloony/fanart/index.album/scott-danielle-and-nina?i=32&s=1 Whoaness. Haha, if you follow that link, plz to be ignoring the crappy artwork kthnx. |
||||
| Catherine |
Teehee, I was like "Oooh! I'll draw the barricade!" Advice: Its a bad idea to draw the barricade with no picture to look at... EDIT: I did this in oil pastel btw, and it took about 2 hours. |
||||
| lesmisloony |
Or, as was my problem when I drew mine fourish years ago, if you have no idea what kinds of things might make up a barricade. Then you just end up with a bunch of brown lines and thingies that look like ladders... | ||||
| Quique |
LOONY!!!!
http://www.angelfire.com/musicals/lesmisloony/fanart/index.album/scott-and-nina?i=34&s=1 That's the most violent thing ever!
|
||||
| lesmisloony |
Hehe, and I was only, like, fourteen years old...
It was from this really crappy barely-even-a-fanfic I'd written about actors in Les Mis and... stuff. But... um... since my Montparnasse obsession, I've actually been known to draw worse... I have some I wouldn't even dare show the internet... |
||||
| lesmisloony |
Ahem.
YKYOWLMW... you're watching "Miss Congeniality" (shut up, there's nothing else on!) and Shatner asks Sandra Bullock what she wants most, and instead of "world peace" she says, "That would be harsher punishment for parole violators!" ...and you think, "No! Valjean was a good man!" Like... yeah... |
||||
| herkind |
That movie cracks me up. Now I'm always going to picture Javert saying that line. "I mean...world peace." *fake smile* |
||||
| Mistress |
You put on Alladdin and then fast-forward it to A Whole New World just so you can hear Lea Salonga sing. | ||||
| lesmisloony |
But then you miss the scene where he steals the bread and this huge chase scene ensues and he says, "All this for a loaf of bread?"
*has not actually seen Aladdin in many, many years* |
||||
| Mistress |
Oh yeaaaah....
|
||||
| Catherine |
Not really an obsession, but hey, I'll put this here anyway.
I've bought the Brick. Got it today whilst in Waterstones. Its in English, translated by Norman Denny and has 1232 pages. Do most people have this version? |
||||
| lesmisloony |
Ooh, I have a Norman Denny! That's the easiest to read. Before I got my French copy, I tended to go to my Lee Fahenstock (which is based on the formidable Charles E. Wilbour) to fact check, as I found a few miniscule facts that Norman Denny got wrong... But it was little stuff, like saying Montparnasse was holding a case when he was supposed to be holding a cane...
L'anyhoodle, I don't know what version everyone else has... but I have those three: Denny, Fahenstock/MacAfee, and... Victor Hugo. And then the online Brick I go to sometimes is the Wilbour, I think... |
||||
| Catherine |
Oooh cool. So do you think its a good thing to be starting off on? It was the only one in the shop anyway so its not like I had much of a choice...
I'm looking forward to tonight. =] |
||||
| Orestes Fasting |
I have Fahnestock/MacAfee (my precious), an old edition with the Wilbour translation, the original French, and the Biblioth�que de la Pl�iade edition, which is the original French with copious footnotes from Maurice Allem.
Most online editions use the translation by Isabel F. Hapgood. And I am in a perpetual snit against Denny, because dammit, calling it unabridged and then relegating half the digressions to the appendices is downright sneaky. |
||||
| lesmisloony |
True, true. And he makes it look like everyone considers them extraneous anyway. *wrinkles nose* Eh, I read 'em in their proper place.
But yeah, Denny is very good for starters, I think. I like to think of it as the "Message" edition of LM, whereas Charles E. Wilbour is the "King James"... D'oh! You're right, Orestes, the online one is Hapgood. Huh. Well, *she* can be King James then, cos that stuff is way denser than Wilbour... from what I know. I think the copy I checked out of our local library in the eighth grade was Wilbour... all I really remember was Thenardier said he could eat the world at one point and that there was a spider crushed between the pages where Eponine first comes into Marius's room. Bleugh. |
||||
| Orestes Fasting |
What would Fahnestock/Macafee be then, the NIV? | ||||
| mezzo_soprano |
YKYOWLMW . . . You compare the brick to the bible. | ||||
| Orestes Fasting |
And have been known to browbeat people with your favorite passages, or indulge in fantastically nit-picky discussions on minor points of wording and translation. | ||||
| lesmisloony |
*sigh*
I *wish* I was as good a Christian as I was a Mizzie. If I spent half as much time with the Bible as I do with the Brick, my soul would be in good shape. |
||||
| lesmisloony |
YKYOWLMW...
...you see a copy of the accursed 98 movie going on eBay for $5 with $2 S&H, immediately buy it because you collect LM movies and might need to recap it someday... and then you actually have stress dreams about it all night after the transaction is completed. Stress dreams, you guys. Like there was one where the movie arrived but it was the Jean Gabin version, and I was really relieved... then there was one where I was standing there watching Geoffrey Rush cuff himself and fall backwards into the water, and it randomly became part of Petit Parapluie's "Residuals" and Geoffrey Rush floated down the river screaming "I demand rose petals!" and... like... I don't remember.
|
||||
| Orestes Fasting |
*dies* Oh god, Residuals. Was that fic ever finished? 'Cause I miss it. | ||||
| lesmisloony |
Yeah, she finally ended it... *cries a little*
I think it's my favourite fic ever. Second is probably the one by Sythar... In Memorium, I think. I don't know. *spends too much time on ff.net* |
||||
| Mistress |
Anyone of a clip of Geoffrey Rush killing himself? I want to campare it to John Malkovich killing himself:mrgreen: | ||||
| lesmisloony |
Heh... when I get mine in, I plan to put a mashup of all the scenes that made me twitch uncontrollably. And that'll be one of them. | ||||
| Catherine |
YKYOWLMW...
Last night I was playing Timsplitters 2 with my brother, and we were deciding which "Bots" to play against. So he was there looking through The Living Dead and Freaks and such, and I saw a catagory called Lovely Ladies. Me: Did that just say Lovely Ladies? Pete: (who has never seen Les Mis) huh? So we played against them. They weren't 19th century postitutes by any means, but, I continued to play against them for half and hour. That was until their screams started to annoy me. So I played against the Living Dead instead. |
||||
| lesmisloony |
I have a few new ones...
YKYOWLMW... -you're talking to one of your friends in German class, and he mentions that he's been to Paris. You're face looks like this: . Then he says, "Paris sucks. I was almost robbed." and you begin flailing. He isn't sure why, but you don't really want to explain why being robbed in Paris sounds like the greatest thing ever to you.
-you acquire an audio of Michael Ball in Hairspray just so you can giggle at it. The first thing I heard him say was "Well, I am big. And I am blonde-ish. So if you say I'm beautiful... well, I GUESS I'M BEAUTIFUL!" Somehow, though, the line "It's just us girls in the big doll house" isn't as hilarious when the guy singing it is a little tenor. *pats Mikey* -you're wearing your LM shirt, and this girl goes, "Oh, I love Les Mis!" and you are all, "Rrreally?" and she says, "Yeah, I even named my cat after one of the characters!" You: "Oooh, which one?!" Girl: "Eponine!" You: "...Oh." Girl: "Well, I mean, she's such a beautiful, misunderstood character!" You: "Yeah. Uh-huh. Um, I'm kind of late for class." -you're still listening to the Hairspray audio when you realise that the big whatevermajigger contest is on June 6th, and you go "OMG THAT IS NOT A GOOD DAY TO HAVE A BIG WHATEVERMAJIGGER CONTEST!" |
||||
| Catherine |
Erm... why isn't it a good day to have the big whatevermajigger contest? | ||||
| Catherine |
Edit: Double post, sorry. | ||||
| lesmisloony |
June 6th is a day of mourning, of course! | ||||
| Catherine |
*is non the wiser*
Sorry... |
||||
| lesmisloony |
S'okay, t'isn't your fault, dearie.

Ooooh right. Thanks. | ||||

Hehe.
*thwacks you with your Brick* Get reading, missy! 
|
||||
| Catherine |
I'm up to... book 4 I believe in the first part. When the Bishop has just died.
I'm really enjoying it =]] |
||||
| lesmisloony |
Whoa, you're coming along then! I'm nowhere near as successful at reading my French Brick... (ma Brique?)... | ||||
| Catherine |
Oh dear Lord, I wouldn't be able to read it in French. I'm doing so bad French GCSE. The only think that's spurring me on is tha fact that I want to read the Brick in French and listen to the OFC and actually understand it.
But its hard to be inspired when you're talking about a past holiday. |
||||
| bigR |
Mon pav�. |
||||
| lesmisloony |
Pav� then.
Catherine, that's how I feel about German. I want to learn it, but it just seems harder than French (and, uh, is) and I'm slightly less motivated to study it in my free time as I was with French... maybe my obsession with Mozart and Die Zauberflote will spur me on a bit? *eyes various German LM recordings as well* |

YKYOWLMW:
You see something on facebook titled "Pictures of basketball! (varsity and JV)" and at first glance you're SURE it says "JVJ," gasp, and scroll wildly back up the page to see what you missed. |
||||
| lesmisloony |
soprano, I read that post as JVJ and did a double take.
"...Jean was playing basketball?" YKYOWLMW... you spend two hours editing photos of actors on GIMP so they'll look like LM characters... instead of studying for a French exam... Uh... wish me luck on the exam, guys... |
||||
| lesmisloony |
YKYOWLMW... you're watching Scrubs and JD says something about seeing Les Mis over four times, and you literally start choking on your Easy Mac... I didn't die, though, don't worry.
(I think someone may have already mentioned this somewhere down the line, but eh.) |
||||
| Catherine |
YKYOWLMW....
At rehersals during lunch break, you're sitting in the corridor outside the auditorium and hear a piano melody you're quite familiar with... you say "What is that?" and its really bugging you until you hear "This I swear by..." but its drowned out by you saying "OH MY FCKING GOD THEY'RE PLAYING STARS!!!!! NGVJFEIANGQHJINGHJIONGIONGJI!" You've never discussedLes Mis with anoyone at rehersals you see, so you had no ideas there were fans. So, you hot-foot it down the auditorium stairs (with great disregard for your own safety, nearly falling) and spend a happy few minutes singing to Do You Hear the People Sing? and Empty Chairs. |
||||
| lesmisloony |
Hehe, Catherine! How cool to randomly encounter fellow Mizzies! | ||||
| Catherine |
Ha ha yeah! I was happily singing with Ged and Heather when Fizz replaced the music book and demanded Ged played ABC by Michael Jackson. He sure got some dagger looks from me after that... | ||||

YWYOWLMW... you find a VHS of this "rare" LM cartoon going on ebay.fr:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYJ3biQ4lW8 and am seriously. SERIOUSLY. considering paying the equivalent of about $80 for it. And the seller initially said s/he'd only ship to Europe, so I broke out the mad French skillz and pm'ed him/her, and apparently managed to annoy him/her into agreeing to ship to les Etats-Unis if I win. There won't be any trouble paying for things on ebay.fr assuming I use paypal, will there? |
||||
| lesmisloony |
YKYOWLMW... you're watching LOTR, and you spend an entire Aragorn/Arwen scene staring at the subtitles and trying to figure out if they're Caslon Antique/Casablanca Antique.
...you know the significance of aforementioned fonts. ...you feel like you're going to have a nervous breakdown when no one posts in this forum for days. |
||||
| EponineMNFF |
YKYOWLMW... you're watching the London production, and you see Montparnasse pull out a knife and spin around because Marius bumped his shoulder and you burst into laughter. Nobody understands.
YKYOWLMW... in the same show, you see a little girl sitting next to Eponine on stage left and you start FLIPPING OUT. My internal monologue: "Who is that with Eponine? That's kind of funny. I'd say it was OMG IT'S AZELMA! OMG IT'S AZELMA! OMG OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!! SQUEEE IT'S AZELMA! OMG!" <.< >.> <.< I don't know if it was actually supposed to be Azelma or not. In any case, it was so awesome. |

When you're watching an episode of The Simpsons and you think you hear Bart saying "You're as Les Miserablay as Lee Marvin" and you watch it again on Channel 4 +1 just to make sure! | ||||
| lesmisloony |
Ohhh, back in the days of Le Cafe we had a really long discussion of LM and the Simpsons. Like, obviously Sideshow Bob's prison number was 24601, but then someone else mentioned that it's eenteresting that the first name that shows up in the credits is Al Jean (which made me snicker). I don't remember the rest because I didn't watch the Simpsons at the time and didn't really understand what they were talking about, but it was a rather detailed discussion.
OH! I just thought of one that *I* actually spotted! There was an episode where Homer was on some sort of ship with a bunch of ex-cons or something like that (?) and he was talking to this one woman who said she had been in prison because she stole a loaf of bread....... and then put it in a freezer until it was really hard and used it to rob a bank. I lol'd for a really, really long time. |
||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
I've so totally noticed "Al Jean" whenever I watch The Simpsons. It makes me laugh. | ||||

-You can quote some of the book verse for memory. -Your book is so over-read, there are pages falling out -You spew fire when people think that it takes place during the French Revolution I wish mine were wittier.

Hehe, don't worry. More and more specific experiences come with more and more time in the fandom...
As for the ones you listed--they're absolute truth. |

Heh, not really an obsession, but an interesting tit-bit. My brother was at a quiz last night, and one of the questions was "Who wrote the book Les Miserables" and he said he wouldn't have got it if I hadn't bought the Brick. I was quite proud when he told me. | ||||

YKYOWLMW... you can't stop watching Shoujo Cosette (even though I only have episodes 1-10 with Italian subtitles) because there's so much random wonderful accuracy (along with random horrible inaccuracy) that it makes you SQUEE. A lot. Aloud. | ||||

There are more pics, but I didn't go and visit anything Les Mis reakted, so I'm just gonna post em on the picture thread. |
