I’m willing to bet that whoever is reading this post regards themselves as a person with no major flaws in either appearance or character. As a prophet of the forthcoming Apocalypse, I’m required to inform that you are wrong. You are flawed in every possible and impossible way imaginable to the human mind. Especially so if you’re compared to Terje Phlegmont Mendoza.
Now, you might ask yourself why Terje is excluded from my high-horsed ranting about your personal short-comings. The answer to that question is very simple: he bribed me. No, not with money or by prostituting his own body, but by mailing me eight seasons of Joss Whedon shows. Thank you, Terje. You have saved my soul from mind numbing boredom in the forthcoming weeks.
Neatly stacked inside a handy CD-purse, I found Buffy - the Vampire Slayer season 3, 6 and 7, and “Angel” season 1-5. It’s my very own jewelry box ![]()
As a side effect of Terje’s inhuman kindness to a total stranger, I now consider myself his personal slave, with which he may dispose of in any way he sees fit. Terje: I owe you. Big time.
I’m listening to the radio while I’m writing this post, and what other song than “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen starts playing as soon as I type the first words of this post? I consider this proof that Terje has connection up high in the system. Maybe not the whole way to heaven, but at least to the music director of NRK P3. Impressive, but not unexpected
Another thing that’s impressive about Terje is his blog and his incredible taste in books. Don’t worry; I won’t list every single thing that’s impressive with this semi-god. Suffice to say that he may be related to either Scott Lynch, Joss Whedon, JRR Tolkien, Peter Jackson, Tor Åge Bringsværd, Steven Erikson, GRR Martin, Platon or Leonardo da Vinci. Take your pick ![]()
No other person has had a greater influence on what I read, how I behave on net, what I write about in my blog, and what I watch, than Terje. You’re super hero to me and my mentor. You’re my Dr. Cox and I’m J.D. (Loki is probably Bob Kelso). I heartily recommend his blog, Thus Spoketh Terje, which is everything I want “The Apocalypse” to become.
As a fun fact I decided to run a picture of Terje through an image comparer, which tells you what celebrity Terje looks the most alike. The results were, to say the least, interesting…
In one picture, the celebrity who Terje looked the most alike was Barbara Streisand, due to the uncanny similarity of the duo’s noses. But not to worry; does of you who doesn’t find Streisand particularly hot can find solace when I tell you that Terje also had a 50 % match with Jessica Simpson and Kate Beckinsale (and for some reason; Burt Reynolds…).
When I tried another picture, Angelina Jolie and Matthew Perry popped up as the best matches. I’m not quite sure what to make of the fact that Terje has a striking resemblance to saliva demanding babes, but I guess it’s a compliment. I love Matthew Perry (of course in a very manly way), so two thumbs up for that match, Terje!
Once again; Thank’s a million. You are teh Man! You rock harder than Led Zeppelin on crack, you write better than Shakespeare and Tolkien combined and you’re so nice that the National Health Department has seen it necessary to brand you with a health warning (to keep the small kids away).
God Save Terje ![]()

You are either the most proudly gay person on the planet, or… no, there’s no other alternatives.

This post is intended to go a little way in expressing my gratitude towards a man who has put down both hours and money in order to send me things I really appreciate. I can’t think of anyone who would do such a thing. I know I wouldn’t…
I being grateful makes me gay, then I think you’ve got your definitions jumbled

Yes it does. Or it should, anyway.
Gay, adjective: bright and pleasant; promoting a feeling of cheer.
There’s an alternative to how you could come off in this post, but it’s expressed with the same word, only with a different definition, thus there were no alternatives to my statement above.

You tricked me!
I’m absolutely abhor when people do that several days before it’s allowed.

APRIL FOOLS! (Doubly so by fooling you into being april-fooled in March!)

So…. How are your feelings about this guy? Do you dislike him?
1. April 2007 @ 16:38 ( Permalink )
If he does, he’s abusing irony.

Wouldn’t I be abusing sarcasm if that was the case?
I’m seriously reconsidering Brækar’s ability to comprehend English…

Sarcasm is a specific use of irony to mock or ridicule, so yes, probably.

Aaaw, now you make me blush and all.
Anyway, I’m just happy to spread the Good Works of The Master. If that means I have to spend a couple hundred NOK on a complete stranger — then so be it. Nice of you to show gratitude, though, although a less ecstatic approach would have made you seem more sincere.
But hey. Who wouldn’t be ecstatic about finding all this Whedon’y goodness in one’s mailbox? I know I would. Or more precisely: I know I was, when I got my Buffy and Angel DVDs in the mail.

I know it only goes a little way in showing my gratitude, so if you’re ever in need of a TV-show or a book that you know I possess, I’ll gladly accommodate you (this is said with some limitations when it comes to books. I won’t be giving away any hardbacks, but tb’s and mmpb’s are up for grabs).

The best way for you to show gratitude, young man, and in fact the only gratitude I’m interested in beyond some good karma, is that you watch the shows and love them to pieces. Which you of course will, as what we’re talking of is Whedonproducts.
Oh, and about me being an influence on how you behave on the net: When I was your age, I was banned from the Civilization Fanatics Forum for calling normal, moderate right-wingers “Nazis”.
And I just remembered that I forgot to mention how awesome “Bohemian Rhapsody” is, how extremely flattering that Coxie comparison is to me, and how incredibly funny it is that I resemble Barbra Streisand. I just can’t seem to stop giggling about that.
2. April 2007 @ 13:36 ( Permalink )
Well, you let me know if there’s anything I can supply you with. I was thinking about mailing you my “Old Man’s War” by John Scalzi tradeback, since I own “The Ghost Brigades” and “The Last Colony” (when I get it from Amazon) in hardback. It would be nice to have a matching set

This doesn’t really compare to your “Nazi” commenting, but I went on a rant about how I disliked “The Blade Itself” on a forum which Joe Abercrombie actually hangs out in. Suffice to say I got banned for a whole month… Totally worth it, though
Eh… I like Scrubs so much that I’ve named my scooter “Sasha”. The Cox-comparison doesn’t really add up; you’re much nicer than him. However, you do look like Barbara Streisand…
