Drive-by post from oliviacirce's house, with a couple "these were hilarious at midnight" anecdotes to report.

i. The trailer for the new ABC show Eastwick, with, wait for it, Paul Gross playing the devil. Cue me howling with laughter. (Other things that seem to be in his contracts besides ghosts/dead guys/general supernaturalness: at least one scene where he is wearing no clothes, and a beautiful woman who seems completely incapable of kissing him without also hitting him or shoving him or something. Your roles have the weirdest patterns ever, sir.)

ii. An appropriately midnight conversation with oliviacirce, as follows:

ME. ...And it's a good thing that Star Trek doesn't do pairingsmush names. Spock/Scotty would be Spotty.
HER. OH MY GOD KIRK/SPOCK WOULD BE KOCK OR SPIRK AND BOTH OF THOSE ARE AMAZING.
US. [helpless laughter]
ME. The OT3 is Spotty Kock!

FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER: [helpless laughter]

And today I venture out among the masses, and by masses I mean probably a bunch of other people who would find Star Trek pairingsmush names hilarious.

1. oh my god, that trailer is awful awful AWFUL EXCEPT that is has Jaime Ray Newman in it (Laura Cadman from SGA!!! And she was on VMars and she's the chick in the Supernatural episode with the aeroplane) and I like her a bunch!! So. But man, I do not know what to think about Gross, it's so... yeah.

2. I am 12 because those smooshes are HILARIOUS.

lol, thinks ST doesn't do pairingsmush names. 9__9 OH ARIA, HOW SO NAIVE?

[aria]

Yeah well oliviacirce didn't know EITHER okay. GOD TELL ME WHAT THEY ARE I BET THEY ARE TERRIBLE.

[feverbeats]

I HAVE BEEN BOTH KOCK AND SPIRK. NO LIE. :(((((((

[nextian]

Actually one of the ST pairingsmush names is Spork.

HOW MANY SHOTS OF PAUL GROSS'S STUPID GRIN ARE THEY GOING TO PUT ON THIS TRAILER. What is even up.

[aria]

...That is beautiful.

IDEK BUT I WOULD TOTALLY JUST WATCH A SHOW OF HIM SMIRKING AND SWIMMING AROUND NAKED IN A POOL.

[bakatulip]

Paul Gross on ABC? Crazy.

[meresy]

Everyone is finding the Eastwick thing hilare. I think this is going to be epic. Oh, Paul.

Pairing portmanteaux are always wrong. WRONG.

In the roughly twenty-four hours since I first saw the trailer, my reaction has morphed from helpless bewildered giggling into a desire to see the actual show RIGHT NOW. In order to do more bewildered giggling, obviously.

I'm so glad due South doesn't have pairingsmush names. Unless it does? But I don't even want to imagine them.

[carrieann]

Oh. My. God. I am terrified, yet intrigued! I have a strong desire to watch the pilot just to see how corny it is! (And of course, for the Paul Gross.)

THE EYE NARROWING. AND THE NAKEDNESS. AND THE SMIRK. AND THE LITTLE NOISE HE MAKES AFTER ROXIE SLAPS HIM THE SECOND TIME. Oh, Paul.

(And did I hear things right? Is Kat's husband named Raymond? *CRACKS UP*)

[aria]

Goddamn you, I actually went and watched the entire trailer a second time just to find the little noise he makes after Roxie slaps him the second time. I CAN'T STOP GRINNING. IT WILL BE SO BADAWESOME.

(And yes. Yes you did. Ohhhh man.

I am still more fond of the fact that van Horne is the WORST LAST NAME EVER.)

[Hello, I had lunch with you at WisCon!]

Oh my God, your pairing mashups have me giggling helplessly!
