Things We Saw Today

Things We Saw Today: An Amazing Welsh Star Trek Lesbian Wedding

This might be the most specific instance of glorious and heartwarming geekery we’ve ever posted. The brides, Anita Bayliss and Margaret Wood, met on a Star Trek forum online (that was run by Wood) and fell in love. Fourteen years later, they held their wedding at Liberty Stadium in Swansea, Wales and required every guest to show up in a Star Trek costume. We wish them nothing but the very best and that they live long and prosper together for the rest of their years. (via Blastr)

These are some sweet DC Comics pint glasses, folks. Only $9.99 for the set at Think Geek, and there are also Marvel ones! (via That’s Nerdalicious)

NBC‘s Community returned this week, and you might have seen their Doctor Who parody, which made us freak out like crazy people. Showrunner Dan Harmon talked to Wired about his process and revealed his Gallifreyan-style diagram that he uses to come up with storylines. (via Splitsider)

  • Speaking of NBC, Saturday Night Live comes back tonight with host Alec Baldwin (musical guest is Radiohead!).

    • And speaking of Saturday Night Live, here is a picture of Mark Zuckerberg (the guy who did all that to Facebook this week) with the guy who impersonates him, Andy Samberg. I said Zuckerberg looked like a dork, but it was pointed out to me that I’d probably be making the same face if I found myself standing next to Andy Samberg. Gothamist also has video of the appearance.

    Um, this is the coolest skeleton hand bracelet I’ve ever seen in my life. Created by Delfina Delettrez. (via The Daily What)

    Some scenes are just too f*cked up to live. This is a deleted scene from The Fly. It involves a partially-transformed Seth Brundle (um … uhhh … Jeff Goldblum) seeing what would happen if he tried fusing a cat with a baboon. If anyone has any clues as to how a partially-transformed Brundlefly obtained a live baboon, please email us at “tips at themarysue dot com.” It is not for those with delicate sensibilities. It is for those of us whose morals are questionable and who laugh at scenes this disgusting. (We laugh out of fear and confusion, by the way.) We have never meant this more: Be afraid. Be very afraid. (at io9)

      What are the odds that this site has something to say (positive of course) about a gay wedding (oxymoron)? 100%! Surprise, surprise! /Sarcasm.

      …I have no idea what you were trying to say here, at all. What…?

      Yeah, Mary Sue.  You betray your bias by always being so freaking positive about joyful people who love each other.

      It would have been more fair and balanced if you’d just reported the wedding in an objective, neutral fashion and followed that up by hurling disgusting, bigoted insults at the brides and everyone like them.

      Then everyone’s happy.

      if only they were vegan atheist off the grid dolphins, my cliche card would be full and ‘bingo!’ could be heard!

      but seriously, beware of the dreaded CABOON!

      On the bright side, blow it up to thirty feet tall and we have a perfect monster for the next “epic” from SyFy.

      Don’t flatter yourself.  You’re just a generic moron.

      Mad Libs headline of the day! For a second I thought it said one of the brides was Margaret Atwood  and I was like SAY WHAT.

      That Dan Harmon chart is kind of depressing in how solidly it affirms my problem with the show’s formulaic structure. You could set your watch by the emotional beats of an episode.

      Mark Zuckerberg looks like Andy Samberg ran into a wall.

      That bracelet is indeed awesome. Perfect for a Halloween fancy dress party!

      The Caboon is a delightfully Cronenbergy idea, but the puppet looks pretty corny and The Thing-derivative, and the scene doesn’t really add to the plot, so I can see why he cut it. Still, it totally seems like the kind of thing Brundle would do when he realized the potential of his machine.

      As to how he got the baboon, probably the same way any science lab gets one: Medical testing suppliers. Just google “Lab mice” and you can find a damn catalogue of the little buggers. Granted, a baboon would probably be harder to come by.

      We’re supposed to already know that BlatheringIdiot hates gay people. Also, we are posting in a troll thread. Huzzah!
