Stupidest Geekout Ever (Mine, Not His)

[deelaundry]

RSL apparently just read "The One Where It All Ends"!

No, not really. But I am tee-hee-ing about the first topic he wanted to talk about here.

"Ever-Fixed Mark" (Watch on Vimeo)

How adorkable was his self-deprecating stance re: the Emmy noms! He is a devious, devious charmer :D It seems hard to get a straight answer out of him quite often.

I wonder if he really thinks that Wilson is not a noteworthy character, or if that is just more modesty>

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

At first I was annoyed by what he said about the Emmys. "This isn't that kind of role" sounded to me like he was derisive toward the part. As my husband said, it was as if he was saying, "This is my easy job to make lots of money!"

But it may be just a very clumsy form of modesty. : )

[purridot.livejournal.com]

Yes, it was perhaps *too* modest. Can he really be that clueless about how important his character is to the show, the only balance to House? And it may not be "Broadway" (!?!?) but he does put much more effort into the acting than one or more members of the "regular cast" (who shall go unnamed). His scenes are a joy to watch (Season 3 exempted -- for me, anyway)...

WTF IS HE EVER TALKING ABOUT

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

And Rip Taylor! He is living in another decade, I swear to God.

It was funny when the guy said that Richard Dawson would kiss all the girls. And RSL said, "Yeah," like the unsaid conclusion of his sentence was: "so I wouldn't have to."

[warmdarkwoman.livejournal.com]

Man, RSL was born about 50 years old and aged from there. Rip Taylor? LOL. My gramma loved her some of him. Although she was worried about him, because he seemed to "have a little sugar in him." RIP Big Mama.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Big Mama sounds awesome (bless).

Somebody once said (Was it you? You say the most insightful things about the man) that RSL needs to play Mr. Rogers on the big screen. With his 50s references and grandpa clothes and shredded wheat, he's a natural.

[calamitysxchild.livejournal.com]

I freaking love him!

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

He's such a goof! He looked horrible in the stills from this event, but on the vids he looks pretty good.

TECHNICAL TERM: SIBLINGS.

P.S. RICHARD DAWSON IS DED

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

SRSLY? I totally forgot he was ded. ZOMBIE RICHARD DAWSON WOULD BE SO FRIGGIN' AWESOME.

I'm now embarrassed that that kind of rhymed. : (

[hugelaurie.livejournal.com]

LOL ZOMBIES
I CAN GET BEHIND THAT

I WIKI'D HIM TO CHECK TO MAKE SURE HE'S DED. APPARENTLY HE WAS BRITISH AND HIS REAL NAME WAS Colin Lionel Emm? WTF

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

PS. IF YOU EVER MEET HIM AT SOME LA THINGY, PERHAPS YOU COULD GET HIM STARTED ON THE TOPIC OF THE RELATIVE EFFECTS ON SOCIETY OF BOY-BOY INCEST VS. BOY-GIRL INCEST. I WANT TO KNOW HIS VIEWS ON THE TOPIC.

[hugelaurie.livejournal.com]

LOLLLLL I ADMIT I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE POSSIBLE REPERCUSSIONS OF BOY-GIRL IDENTICAL TWINCEST.

DEE, LOOK AT HOW MUCH IT PAINS HIM TO TALK TO REPORTERS WITH WHOM HE IS CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED TO SPEAK. WHAT MAKES YOU THINK HE WOULDN'T SELF-IMPLODE IF HE HAD TO WILLINGLY TALK TO A FAN?

[xaipw.livejournal.com]

RSL HONEY, PLZ TO BE TAKING SOME ETIQUETTE LESSONS FROM HUGH.
HE WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO BE GRACIOUSLY MODEST.


Such a doofus.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

I KNOW! I adore him and I took his comments the wrong way at first. (At least I think it's the wrong way.) Sheesh. XD

[jdr1184.livejournal.com]

Hey Dee,
I have a short fic (about 750 words) that I am wondering if you would beta. I am debating whether to do a second part and need a second opinion. I also need to make sure that the first part makes sense especially in terms of staging. Let me know. Thanks

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Sure, send it to me! I'm going to bed in a minute but will try to look at it tomorrow evening. : )

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

I think you were on the right track with the chat 'bot idea. Because seriously. Seriously!

Who doesn't know that about identical twins having to be the same gender? Oh, yeah, a person who skipped out on high school biology to act on stage. That'd be who.

[daisylily.livejournal.com]

I think RSL would make an excellent decoy for a Turing test - everyone would think he was the crappy chat-bot, and the real chat-bot would be going "Ha ha, I fooled you" XD

And PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE do another audio-clip song, they're totally wonderful.

[pwcorgigirl.livejournal.com]

I think I know where Wilson's stream-of-consciousness "Dr. House is a practicing Wiccan" speech in "Ugly" came from. The writers have been paying attention to RSL when he's riffing off the top of his head. :D

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

RSL claims that none of his dialogue is ad-libbed but the Wiccan speech, as you point out, just might have been.

In a way, though, you kind of have to admire a guy who's willing to say ridiculous things at his own expense. Maybe.

: )

[hibernia1.livejournal.com]

Oh G*d, he's adorably awkward. I love him. He's cuddly in a way a big dumb dog is.

[daisylily.livejournal.com]

Seeing as it's RSL, it's entirely possible that he really doesn't realise how important Wilson is... (And he has said things like "I turn up, say my lines and go" in the past).

But lordy, he is SO BAD at being interviewed.

And wouldn't the 'one is a boy and one is a girl' thing kind of point to you that they aren't identical twins? Oh dear...

[chocolate-frapp.livejournal.com]

I wanna see House smack the shit out of Tom Cruise for jumping on his office furniture.

[topaz-eyes.livejournal.com]

RSL sounds just like Eric Forman! (From That 70s Show)

[poeia.livejournal.com]

My favorite part is that he starts the interview by saying "let me tell you how clueless/stupid I am." No one asked him. He didn't have to supply that info. He's just such a perfect dork that he volunteers it. (I once came across a Harlequin Romance and on the first page the author mentioned the heroine's identical twin brother. I thought that was interesting and read the whole book in order to find out which one had the surgery. Neither. Apparently the author also thought that someone with XX chromosomes could be identical to someone with XY.)

I think he was saying that this isn't the type of role that gets you Emmys. On the whole, I think he's right. As important as he is, his part is very small in each episode and he's not Judi Dench. But Wilson's Heart was the exception. He could have been nominated/won for that.

And Richard Dawson is alive.
