Not A Hoax...

... not an imaginary story. In episode 305 of Leverage, this happens:



That's myself, a fetching young lsss, and episode writer Geoffrey Thorne on the set for Day 5. Plus, fire trucks.

  4. I... am not at all certain that I believe you.

    Way to sneakily answer my question, though.

  5. Gotta say, nice to see an African-American writer. It's one thing to talk a good game about diversity, it's another to actually do it. Can't WAIT for the new season.

    So, it's April 15 - tax day, with all the pain and suffering that entails - and this is the first thing I see on the Interwebs.

    I am agog.

  8. Yeah, Yeah, tequila was involved....

    I have to have one myself, thanks.

  9. I'm now officially unsure if my adoration for you is a sign of Stockholm Syndrome. Congratulations.

  10. Been there done that. Internet and con season has desentaized me to that. There is Man Faye and beyond that I've seen someone who looks like that Cosplaying as Major Kurasagi from Ghost in the Shell. You can't hurt me any more.

    Though you will earn bonus points if in the episode you dress Nate in a bright red suit jacket and yellow tie. Perhaps have the crooks busted by a Protective Zenigata.

  11. Sailor Moon, you have been ruined for me for ever.

  12. I startled my four children at the breakfast table with my burst of laughter. Unfortunately they did not have pancakes swimmming in butter (cook must have been a Norweigan from southern MN)topped off by fruit loops.

    I can't pinpoint what amused me more....the beard framed by the Princess Leia hair loops, the way he rocked those white, vinyl boots or Geoffrey's goofy smile!

    Carry on!

  13. Obviously a take-off on Sailor Bubba, who worked security at Anime Central for many years. One of the nicest guys I know, who started doing the cosplay on a dare and kept doing it because of the shock value and the popularity it brought. I hope this is an informed homage.

    I can see this episode being genius and I can see it being painful and embarrassing to watch; I sincerely hope it's the first, and I believe your writers have the intelligence not to fall into the "hey look, geeks do weird things at con - let's put our characters in the middle of it and have them point and laugh the whole time" trap.

    I have to agree Modern day Molly from above... I totally love how much awesomeness is being rocked from him in those white boots!

  17. Sailor Moon was my first obsession. I cannot WAIT to see how you guys make fun of it.

    Is there any way you could convince Tim or Christian to put the suit on? I don't mean in the episode, if you could just get them to put it on and then take pictures and put them on here, I would be happy. Thanks so much for giving me something new to look forward to!!!

    You probably don't remember me from the cocktail party but I'm the random fangirl who said she wanted to roll in your brain...but not in a creepy way. We had drinks and discussed your penchant for making shit we come up with into cannon.

    But this? This right here? This is why I love your brain.

    God, could you BE more brilliant?

  21. Random RP anecdote for you.

    Monday's session of Feng Shui (I'm GM and one of my players is playing a thief based on Parker).

    Player: Can I have an adversary? An insurance investigator.
    Me: That's a bad idea. Sterling. Never. Loses.
    P: Are you sure.
    Me: Sterling. Never. Loses.
    P: He lost in the horse episode.
    Me: Oh, Sterling won there. It's just his clients who didn't. Sterling. Never. Loses.
    P: Pity.

    End result: I'm giving an adversary. An alcoholic insurance investigator named Nick Bridge. Player will find this out next Monday.

  22. Someone lost a bet, right? That's what this is. A bet gone completely and totally wrong.

  23. at least it's not you in the outfit, John. THAT would scar my brain forever. (however, I still have the pics of you in only a towel and another juggling uranium ore.....)

    (word verification - bleac - how appropriate!)

  24. As a veteran of many cons, including a couple I find complicated to discuss, I am unphased by this development.

    Now, a picture of the director and the writer GOOSING the becostumed one might get an eyebrow raise. Maybe. After you've seen a cigar chomping Amidala,naked people dipped in latex, and Darth Elvis, the jading sets in.

    My convention photos, let me show you them...


    I want my Season 2 DVDs please, if you want me to survive through summer. It's hard to love unrequited.

    For a second, i thought that guy was Cee Lo from Gnarls Barkley.

    That picture was pretty... different.

  28. Oh wow, it IS a Sailor Bubba homage! This should be good.

    As TheRabbi (a fellow Anime Central staff veteran) pointed out, Bubba's been a fixture at ACen since 1999. I was the MC of the Costume Contest Masquerade for ACen from 98 until a couple years ago, and Bubba taking the stage in 99 still counts as one of my alltime favorite con memories.

    Bubba would also wear such outfits while on Security duty. At ACen 2001, he was dressed as "Pretty Sami", a similarly mini-skirted Magical Girl, with a large cricket paddle painted pink and a large bow attached as Sami's "magic baton". I was there when a jerk was brandishing handcuffs at young women in the halls, and before I could find someone on security, Bubba was there in the guy's face. "Hey, you've got the handcuffs, I'VE got the sex toy! This is gonna be a great night!" The jerk ran from the hotel and did not return. Good times, and Bubba is a really swell guy.

    The aforementioned Bobblehead was my idea, although I'm not sure how well they sold at the merchandising booth. I still have the prototype, painted gold instead of the usual colors.

  31. Heehee.
    For just a moment I thought we had Hurley back, in the witness protection program and "cleverly disguised."
    But then I remembered-- you are obviously saving Drew's bear head from PeeWee's show so he can play the bear that Eliot fights.

  32. seriously? Sailor Moon on Leverage? this is interesting..but kinda weird..

  33. That is not what I expected to see first thing on a Friday morning, and yet... hilarious! Is that Abe Benrubi? 'Cause if it is, my anticipation for the episode just got a thousand times bigger. He's such a lovable lunk.

    @Sherri -- The last I heard, the season 2 DVDs will be released on May 25th, so you only have a few more weeks to wait. :)

  35. What I want to know is, do your baby writers come to you already bent, or is there some sort of Leverage mind-warping process they must submit to?

    And, yes, he is totally rocking those boots.

    Penyakit ini umumnya muncul karena penderita mengejan terlalu keras pada saat buang air besar. Dengan mengejan terlalu keras, maka pembuluh darah di sekitar anus dapat melebar dan pecah menimbulkan infeksi dan pembengkakan yang berakhir pada masalah wasir atau ambeien tersebut.
