Well that's a far more innocent explanation than I expected. Still don't get the joke though, is there any kind of context to it?
BTW...getting up at 3 am to watch a TV show? *worries about Forsythe*

it's only on at 3am where I am (I'd been setting my alarm to wake up and see it, then go back to bed).

You mean you actually go to bed before 3am? Call yourself a computer person? *worries about Forsythe*

BTW (and swiftly back on topic. Well, vaguely), wasn't there a Daedra named Nocturnal in Daggerfall? What happened to her? Was she the Mother of All Winged Twilights?
Forsythe on 16/1/2003 at 20:20
Jordana: Well, the characters usually pick a random thing to obsess about for an episode or three; usually it's merely to amuse themslves, but sometimes it's to confuse the source of whatever is causing them issues. In this example, one of the anchors (Dan Rydell) starts obsessing that he really, really would look good if he grew a goatee... and when a group of execs show up to sow dischord by criticizing the show ("You guys are losers!"), he throws that line at them. Sooooo, now it's a phrase in my repertoire ;)
Ania: *grin* Given that I have to be up at 8am every weekday, I don't have much choice in the matter. I could quit my job and then be able to stay up until 7am every night, but not with a computer, you see.... :p

Oops, I accidentally revealed my true identity! It should have read: Ania (who is Nocturnal). My Evil Plan for World Domination will now be FOILED! Aaargh! But I shall have a New Plan soon! Mwa ha ha haaaa!

Hey Forsythe... why didn't you do what normal people do and set your VCR to record the show? You do know who to use that new fangled technology, don't you? :P

Forsythe on 16/1/2003 at 23:36
*grin* Yeah, yeah, I know... but recording w/ my VCR usually makes the movie look like it was taken with a '80s-era camcorder (ie: fuzzy, and ever-so-slightly tinted). (It plays pre-recorded tapes just fine, so that's not the issue) Call me picky, but I prefer to watch a show where the characters aren't portayed by a horde of jaundiced greenish blobs ;)
Ania on 16/1/2003 at 23:50
Jaundiced greenish blobs? Pah! You don't know how LUCKY you are! I live in a steep-sided valley where there is no TV reception. Well, you DO get sound, but the image is so bad that you cannot recognize characters even when the camera zooms right into their faces.
But it does mean I have more time to play lovely games like Morro... I mean, to read for the forthcoming exam. Erm. Yes.

I live in Cheshire and I can pick up HTV Wales better than that :cheeky: Muahahaha!!!!

I thought that 'somewhere cold, wet and windy' sounded remarkably like Wales. It's not, but it's close (for those of you who live in other countries and have no idea of relative location of Wales and Cheshire)
