Anyone interested in reading more about the choice of music from last night's BSG finale, should check out this blog post by the guy in charge of the music:

I learned that the idea was not that Bob Dylan necessarily exists in the characters' universe, but that an artist on one of the colonies may have recorded a song with the exact same melody and lyrics. Perhaps this unknown performer and Dylan pulled inspiration from a common, ethereal source.

Umm, say what? Maybe Ron Moore isn't quite on the button as much as we acolytes believed because that's just nonsense.

I asked, and I received. The YesBut community stepped up with wildly entertaining, often disturbing crazy roommate stories. You covered it all – guns, drugs, mold, sex with senior citizens, and even roommates bursting into flames. We're back with a new topic on Wednesday. But first, here are just some of the highlights (and here's the unabridged version of the story that started it all and pales in comparison):

In college I had a housemate who was into firearms. One day while cleaning a rifle, it went off and the bullet went thru the window and hit a passing car.

First off, the smell was an abomination - like, a combo of feet, ass and rotting food. The was mold in EVERY plate and dish. I thought I would try to just grab one dish set, so that I could have a plate/cup/spoon to just hide from him, but then, a lizard appeared and HISSED at me. I'm not just some pussy girl, either, but that was a little too much.

CJ

He rang up a $2,200 bill calling 1-900 sex lines. Phone was in my name....He started leaving guns on his bedroom floor. I needed to get out, but if I didn't find a replacement for me I'd violate the lease. I found a woman. I was torn between telling her about his habits, or fleeing. I did not do the manly thing.

When I returned, I found the apartment in almost comic disarray -- there were shredded aluminum foil and random pills all over the floor. There was a loaf of bread gnawed into the shape of a pyramid sitting on the couch....The water in our fish's bowl had evaporated to the point where the fish was only up to his eyebrows in water with his belly on the rocks. (Jumbles, the incredible living fish, survived this ordeal only to commit suicide and be devoured by ants several months later).

The police had indeed chased someone into the backyard, at which they shot and killed them just below our balcony. They were then kind enough to point out that, if you looked really hard, you could still see the blood stains on the concrete.

Note: We're running the ridiculous 'NEW' graphic until someone designs us a logo. Or until six months has passed, as mandated by the Federal Trade Commission. Lots more after the jump.

The best of the bazillion available. Lego Star Wars in stop-motion animation, today on the veg.

Recently, a flurry of lawsuits hit blogs who published the above photo (uncensored). It depicted a image taken from The Break-Up, but showed rather more than made it into the final cut. Many takedown notices later, it's all but disappeared online.

I guess, fair is fair - if she'd never approved the release of the images, I can't blame her for trying to stop their appearance. What amazes me, though, is why she got upset in the first place. It seems to be, that if you're to be considered a serious actress, a well-placed nude scene can definitely enhance your chances of an award. As UK Tabloid The Sun pointed out in Breast Supported Actress (man, I wish I'd thought of that title), all FIVE of this years nominees have done nude scenes at one time or another.

Which made me wonder - just how many winners of the Best Actress Oscar over the last decade or so have flashed their assets onscreen?

Turns out, pretty much all of them (with one exception)....

(Do I need to tell you that this one is not safe for work, and contains many nekkid pictures and video clips? You've been warned)

Long time readers will know that I've been a champion of Battlestar Galactica since the first miniseries. A few weeks ago a couple of YBNBY writers tried to convince me that the only place the BSG FTL drives had jumped to was a nebula called The Shark. But after last night's season finale, all I can say is - Holy Frakk.

My thoughts....
