Rather than keep linking the endless adorable snaps, can I just commend ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
boston_buddies to brighten up your flist? I thank you.
The original video for Satisfaction by Benny Benassi. I saw about a minute of this and immediately bought the song. If I'd seen the other video first, with its cringingly awful and irrelevant porn, I wouldn't have bothered.
Some favourite bits from the Kenny Everett Video Show: David Bowie vs Angry of Mayfair ("Chase me round and call me names!"); DIY Bee Gees ("Switch the recording on... now."); Interviewing the all, ever-lovely David Essex ("A personal question now, David."); and some Captain Kremmen ("Hello? To whom am I speaking at?").

Australia is a bidder to host the Square Kilometre Array telescope, which will be the world's largest and most powerful radio telescope.

MOAR Torchwood stuff - plus! an SF challenge!
OK kids, I have an SFnal challenge for you.
You'll remember controversy over Owen's use of an alien spray in the very first episode of Torchwood to seduce first a woman he fancies, then her boyfriend. Owen sprays himself with the stuff, and anger and indifference turn at once to overwhelming lust, in a parody of those Lynx ads.
Now, RTD and Julie Gardner are completely blithe about this in the DVD commentary. And it suddenly hit me: the spray doesn't affect the couple; it only affects Owen - at least, that's the intention.
Every theory I've come up with about how the spray works has assumed it somehow affected the couple - meaning this was a variety of drug rape. Even if it made Owen shoot out superpowerful pheremones or something, that's still affecting the other people rather than him.
So thinking caps on: what the heck could the spray do only to Owen that made him suddenly irresistable?
In the meantime, some links for u:
Ianto and Jack both make afterelton.com's list of Ten Best Gay and Bisexual Science Fiction Characters. "...Jack and some of the other characters in the series represent an almost “post-gay” approach to sexual themes, in which sexual identity is represented as fluid and complicated, and, more importantly, as not a big deal. It simply is what it is."
Some really terrific analysis of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang fromcrabby_lioness.
And some icons that are just gosh darn funny. :-)
