fissionchips now with sparkling vinegar. congrats!

a bit of sparkle, a touch of *gay

Meester Sparkle!

Ha ha ha - sparkle dragons and nerds. The flying troll thingie is funny. And "they advertise on the Escapist, which I interpret as a challenge" part is great.

Is it just me, or is the video in the promo video after his review WAY BETTER than his official theme song?

Then again, most things are.

Was she wearing moon boots? Did her jelly bracelets and friendship braids sparkle in the Alaskan sunshine?

Reminds me of high school. if you lick the side of your cigarette, and pour the flint over it, it sparkles when you smoke.

MR. SPARKLE is disrespectful to dirt!

On the fourth of July, eighteen hundred and six,
We set sail from the sweet cove of Cork
We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks
For the grand City Hall in New York
'Twas a wonderful craft, she was rigged 'fore and aft
And how the wild winds drove her
She 'stood several blasts, she had twenty-three masts
And they called her the Irish Rover

We had one million bags of the best Sligo rags
We had two million barrels of stones
We had three million bales of old nanny goats' tails
We had four million barrels of bones
We had five million hogs and six million dogs
And seven million barrels of porter
We had eight million sides of old blind horses' hides
In the hold of the Irish Rover

There was awl Mickey Coote
Who played hard on his flute
When the ladies lined up for a set
He was tootin' with skill
For each sparkling quadrille
Though the dancers were fluther'd and bet
With his smart witty talk
He was cock of the walk
And he rolled the dames under and over
They all knew at a glance
When he took up his stance
That he sailed in The Irish Rover

(bridge)

There was Barney McGee from the banks of the Lee
There was Hogan from County Tyrone
There was Johnny McGurk who was scared stiff of work
And a man from Westmeath called Malone
There was Slugger O'Toole who was drunk as a rule
And fighting Bill Tracy from Dover
And your man Mick McCann, from the banks of the Bann
Was the skipper on the Irish Rover

For a sailor it's always a bother in life
It's so lonesome by night and day
That he longs for the shore
And a pretty young whore
Who will melt all his troubles away
Oh, the noise and the rout
Swillin' poitin and stout
For him soon the torment's over
Of the love of a maid
He is never afraid
An old salt from the Irish Rover

We had sailed seven years when the measles broke out
And our ship lost her way in the fog
And the whole of the crew was reduced down to two
'Twas meself and the captain's old dog
Then the ship struck a rock; oh Lord what a shock
The bulkhead was turned right over
We turned nine times around - then the poor old dog was drowned
I'm the last of the Irish Rover

*woohoo, I say, because it just makes me think, "you know, this is one of many ways they inspired Mr. Sparkle to come into existence."

ok, sifty...I'll sparkle you to a mirror shine with Flitz polish if you can *findthumb for me....

^Wow. I thought she looked familiar. I did not know she was in this movie until now. I think she's great.


She was in Sneakers too.

Thanks for the advice, I'll make sure to check Mumford out in the near future. And it's certainly nice to see people talking (and knowing) about not-so-blockbustery films from the 90s.

In reply to this comment by shuac:
You should see McDonnell in "Mumford" for a different sort of role. I loved her in Grand Canyon, although that one's more of the typecasting you're talking about, a little. Still, she's got a commanding screen presence to be sure.

She definitely is kind of great, and I grossly exaggerated (on purpose) any dislike I might garner towards her in my previous comment. The thing is, she should just attempt a different acting style sometimes, because until now she's practically always this cold and frigid maternal figure. And you know, there's the fact that BSG developers seem to be currently making her character out to be the queen b*tch of the universe, so I guess any hate could be justifiable to some extent.

Dammit I knew I should of sifted this after you made this comment.


That other clip was what gave me the idea too. Great minds think alike.

Sometimes, I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion!
