Working on transcribing The Boosh radio show (a sort of "I'll do it myself" bit) and by far the funniest way I've heard Vince and Howard be referred to is "The Stag Man and Bulbous Ball Boy, the Bubonic Bitch"
so in the first episode Lister decides that Cat is coming home with them and Rimmer asks "Home? And where exactly is home supposed to be!?" in an argumentative manner, Lister of course answers that he meant earth but now i'm thinking if i take Rimmer's guestion too seriously, in a way it was not meant to be taken, i might cry because for him has there ever been a home? Io? doubt that, his family's there, and the only other place he has recided in is at the JMC ship and i, again, doubt that a corporation could be considered home.
also Lister's immidiate desition upon meeting Cat, an alien basically, is to take him home with him and he's even willing to argue and back up his desicion like i can not ever get over how fundementally good Lister's heart is. if anyone can find a family and home in deep space without other people around it's Lister because his willingness to help everything and understand other's grief is unmatched. like, yeah he is a slimeball, but everything would fall apart without him, because when it comes down to it he's the most dependable
This came up on my pinterest feed and I went oh they're advertising for the new joker movie (as in I fully thought Julian Barratt (mustache and all) was lady gaga
Hey guys I (has spent a long time wondering why esperanto is both the name of the language rimmer fails to speak and the name of the ship in back to reality) (remembers that esperanto is the name of a real language that translates to One Who Hopes) (remembers that in back to reality it's established that the word esperanto means hope) (remembers the freshly dug hope grave in terrorform) (realizes that hope is a language rimmer has never managed to learn) I think i hauve covid.
It's so silly when you log onto tumblr and see someone post exactly what you'd been thinking about the same day, like coincidence of a lifetime or what (dead serious)
if i had a pound for every gay kiss between the main characters of a britcom, i'd have three pounds, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened three times
I had to cut out some parts about domestic life, because of the limit, but if anyone would be interested, I'm more than happy to transcribe it in the morning!
Something really funny to me is just Howard Moon as a character, because why is he literally me. I do that stupid head bop when i listen to music sitting down, I have an unhealthy attachment to jazz (psychedelic and acid nonetheless), I fall in love with anyone who shows the least amount of attraction to me, we actually look oddly similar facial wise, those weird exaggerated arm movements when talking, and a scarily similar fashion sense (should I feel ashamed of owning Hawaiian shorts, because I don't)
Stellar firma and red dwarf mentioned in the same post I just spontaneously combusted actually
trexel geistman is such a fascinating character.hes like if somebody took the worst qualities of david lister and arnold rimmer and smashed them together into one fucked up guy
I dont know what's worse: Rimmer literally melting to death, or the fact that as a soft light hologram, melting to death was the first thing he'd actually felt in a long while.
