I have to go to dinner in a *very* short time, and I as always have a crapload of work what needs doing, so I have only a few captioned Miami pics for you today. And they're more "macro" style than actual captions, although I tried to refrain from using actual lolcat-speech except for the lack of capitalisation.

Caps from the Random Scribblings Gallery; captioned with roflbot.

Every single episode I wait for someone to say this. And no one ever does. It makes me sad.

...well, he isn't. By the way, I thought it was obvious, but in case it isn't: the text on the left is Stetler's; the text on the right is Horatio's.

I'm sorry. I mean, I try to like Kyle, I really do, I want to like Kyle, but damn does he do some pouting. And the fact that he somehow looks younger every time he shows up doesn't help.

I have my doubts as to whether Eric and Calleigh would actually have this conversation, but I'd have liked it. Also, whoever's in charge in costuming? Can we please have Eric in red again? He looks very good in red, you may recall. No, salmon does not count as red.

That's all for now.

I don't really even like CSI: Miami and yet I enjoyed these. Well, I enjoy almost all macros I come across, but still...this is a special instance.

My personal feelings on the show aside (or rather, certain elements), your last set of macros is so true. A lot of the stuff in fashion shows looks like the designer changed their mind halfway through and thought, "I want another skirt, but I don't have the time to start over from scratch--I know! I'll use this shirt and turn it into a skirt! Genius!"

Or maybe that's just my bias from being a fan of 'Project Runway'. I don't know.

(And speaking of clothes...I seem to recall, from the occasional episode I've been, er, persuaded into watching by

snuffylicious, that Eric's worn that shirt or at least that color before. It really doesn't do him any favors. So I second your plea to the wardrobe department, ~~because, if I have to watch an episode, I need some eye candy as compensation. Guys in salmon=no eye candy.~~)

"I want another skirt, but I don't have the time to start over from scratch--I know! I'll use this shirt and turn it into a skirt! Genius!"

*giggle* Those are pretty much my feelings about half the stuff I see on runways - either converted skirts or towels with creative tape application. Now, I've had it explained to me several times that it's all just an extreme version of whatever's currently in fashion, but just on occassion I'd like to see a model in something I might actually wear. Or at least, something I wouldn't have to sell my corneas to afford.

And yes, Eric wears pastel floral prints distressingly often, and I concur with your assessment that they do nothing for him. He looks quite good in whites, dark greys, or saturated reds, and there was a time early in the series where he wore quite a lot of all three; I'm not really sure where they went, but I want them back.

Alas, one thing the entire CSI franchise does particularly well (all of them, though Miami's been the worst offender recently) is dress very attractive men in hideously ugly clothes. Poor Ryan spent almost the entirety of Season 3 in a sweatervest. A sweatervest, sweet mercy.

Those are pretty much my feelings about half the stuff I see on runways...etc

Exactly. I feel the same way. GMTA, apparently. ;-)

It's not just the CSI franchise that does such unspeakable fashion crimes to its ~~eye candy~~ very attractive male stars--Doctor Who does too, apparently, in the form of the blue suit ("of doom"). I personally have nothing against it, and even liked it in 'S&J', but I'm seemingly alone in that regard...

A sweatervest? Oh, dear. There are few men who can pull that off--David Tennant as Peter Carlisle in Blackpool being one of them--but ouch. That doesn't suit Ryan at all. Poor man.

Really? I rather liked the blue suit. I think it looked nice on him. I may even like it slightly better than the brown pinstripes. (Yes. Blasphemy. I know.)

[link] [parent] [reply]

Really? I rather liked the blue suit.

Yeah. I was rather surprised to discover the depths of hatred that some of our fellow DT fans have for the 'BSoD'. I can't quite fathom why, since ~~David~~it looks quite nice when it's paired with a light colored shirt and complimentary tie, as in 'S&J'. But for some reason, it keeps getting paired with dark-colored shirts, which just doesn't work. Hopefully the costume department will figure that out for S4...

I still like the brown a bit more, though, not least because it always looks good (not least because of the man wearing it!), regardless of lighting or shirt choices. (I say "lighting" because I've heard people grumble that it doesn't photograph very well.)

[link] [parent] [reply]

Yeah dark suit + dark shirt = not a good combination on anyone. It ends up looking very heavy. (Have you seen the Children in Need photoshoot yet? You probably have, but, you know, just in case...anyway, they bring out the dark suit/dark shirt again there, and it doesn't look good.) But I would be quite happy with the Smith & Jones look more often, if someone in the costume department saw fit to do that.

Really, the only reason that I rank the brown suit below the blue suit is because I'm madly in love with the "Smith & Jones" look. (And because for some reason there's something off to me about the pants on the brown suit; I don't know what it is.) I don't think I've ever seen the brown suit photograph poorly, though...

[link] [parent] [reply]

I have seen the photoshoot, and yeah, the blue suit doesn't look so good there. DT doesn't either--I'm not a fan of the "I just stuck my finger in a light socket" look, and he also looks rather tired in a few of the pics, despite the hair.

I don't think I've ever seen the brown suit photograph poorly, though...

Oops. Should have been a bit clearer--I've heard people complain about the blue suit not photographing well, not the brown. (Something off about the brown suit's pants? Hm. They're cut the same way, or so I've been told, but I think the brown pants are tighter than the blue.)

[link] [parent] [reply]

Yeah, I could deal with the dark/dark suit if it wasn't for the hair. David's hair looks much better to me when someone's taken a comb to it in the last four hours - not *too* neat, but looking like at some point it's *been* neat. The electroshock look wasn't doing it for me.

I think the brown pants are tighter than the blue.

I think that's it - the brown pants are a little too slim and a little too tapered at the calf and ankle for my taste. That is, of course, just my taste, and I guess skinny pants make him look more sprightly, but I'd prefer it if they had a little bit more room to them.

(But then, I think that about pants in general, no matter who's wearing them...)

[link] [parent] [reply]

not *too* neat, but looking like at some point it's *been* neat.

Exactly. That's the best look for him, in my opinion.

I agree with you on the brown pants too--a bit looser, and they'd be perfect. (Yet another case of GMTA, it seems!) Of course, when I said "tighter", I meant the entire pants...if you know where I'm going with that. *clears throat, attempt to look innocent*

And I have to say, David Tennant does "sprightly" quite well without help from his wardrobe...

[link] [parent] [reply]

Of course, when I said "tighter", I meant the entire pants...if you know where I'm going with that.

...I do believe I do. *ahem* Not that there's anything wrong with that. ~~Gratuitous buttshots for the win!~~

Tennant manages to look sprightly even in a big clunky Time Lord costume; I'd say he's pretty much got it pat. XD

[link] [parent] [reply]

Nope, nothin' wrong with it. Gratuitous buttshots indeed. The man constantly teases us, particularly in the S3 diaries! It's not fair. And, if you take him at his word (he says he's "the least sexy man on the planet"), he's not even doing it on purpose! He's either truly clueless, just being modest, or having us on.

I vote for being modest, myself.

Oh, and before I forget--I've got the user info taken care of, and am working on the header as we...well, speak. It should be up soonish.

[link] [parent] [reply]

And, if you take him at his word (he says he's "the least sexy man on the planet"), he's not even doing it on purpose!

Aaaw. Modesty's so charming, though. ~~Could be that the director/cameraperson's doing it on purpose, of course...~~

One more thing...making these macros is terribly addictive, so what would you say to an L&O macro community? Because as soon as I can find a decent L&O image archive...let's just say I've been *dying* to make an "I has a objection" macro.

[link] [parent] [reply]

I'd love to see a L&O macro comm--I'm surprised one doesn't exist already, since it's so macroable.

I've never been able to find a decent L&O image archive, sadly. There's NBC.com, of course, but other than that...not so much. The closest I was ever able to get to such a thing was this place, though I would warn you that it's not very reliable and caused my old computer to crash several times. Just a word of caution.

[link] [parent] [reply]

ihasaobjection

*cough*

Granted, there's nothing actually on it yet, but I'm working on it, I really am.

(Also, many thanks for the link to the image archive - I had no idea that was still up and running!)

[link] [parent] [reply]

I know it's cat macro speak and all that, but "ihasaobjection" makes the Grammar Nazi in me twitch. I had to say it. Sorry!

(You're welcome. I found that site a long time ago, back when I was as obsessed with L&O: TOS as I am now with DW. When I dug up the link, I also expected it to be gone. Luckily for us, it isn't!

Also, I wasn't sure from the tone of your previous comment, but did you want help with the comm? I'm available if you need a second mod. I do have another comm I'm supposed to be helping with--"supposed to" being the operative words!--but for some reason, the project's been stalled. Even if it picks up again, it shouldn't be a problem. Just let me know.)

[link] [parent] [reply]

Sorry. "I has an objection" didn't quite fit. *dodges grammar baton*

And yes, if you wanted to, I'd love your help. This is my first time modding a community of any sort, so I don't quite know what I'm doing. Let me just tinker around with the comm info and add you as mod...

Thank you! :)

[link] [parent] [reply]

You is mod.

< /deliberate bad grammar>

[link] [parent] [reply]

*laughs* Thank you!

[link] [parent] [reply]

Oh, I forgot to include this--would you like me to spruce the comm up a bit, graphics-wise? I'm itching to try out my new copy of Paint Shop Pro Photo X-2 and a banner or user info dividers would be perfect to start with...

[link] [parent] [reply]

Ooh! That'd be lovely! Go right on ahead - I can't wait to see what you come up with.

(Will the graphics work with a basic account?)

[link] [parent] [reply]

Well, the user info dividers I spoke of would be like the ones in my user info, so yes, they'll work with Basic.

As for a header, I believe it's possible, if you have the right layout. Let me go look that up...

[link] [parent] [reply]

Yep. There are two layouts that support header images that are available to Basic: '3 Column' and 'Quite Lickable' ~~oh, damn, my permanently-in-the-gutter fangirl half is so taking that in directions that the person who named it never dreamed of...~~. I'm rather partial to 'Quite Lickable', myself, although '3 Column' would work too. What do you think?

(Info from here.)

[link] [parent] [reply]

...okay, they give the header a name like "Quite Lickable" and they expect our collective minds to not go to dirty places? That's asking a lot, LJ designers.

Hmm...can't say I've much of a preference, so it's up to you.

[link] [parent] [reply]

I ended up going with '3 Column', though I did a bit of tweaking. I've got both the user info and header done, although I may change the "Law & Order" part of the text later, since I'm not entirely happy with it...

So that's all for now. What do you think?

[link] [parent] [reply]

That looks fantastic - thank you so much!

[link] [parent] [reply]

LOL.

:D Glad you enjoyed! These are quite addictive, so I'm sure there'll be more at some point...

[link] [parent] [reply]

the first two are my favorite XD

can i get a link to the caption page D:? i wanna do more stuff like that! and finally do the 'your mom' macro XD!

and some ryan + horatio ones too.

The captioning site is here. (http://wigflip.com/roflbot)

XD Yes! I eagerly await the "your mom" macro.

[link] [parent] [reply]

LMAO! These have been the highlight of my day.
a) That is EXACTLY what was going through my head during Stetler's scene. Love it.
b) "Oh, said the guy in the orange floral number." -- Calleigh's expression in that cap is priceless!
c) I can just hear Eric muttering "None of this lace-up shiny crap." It feels me with euphoric glee.

Did I mention the part where this was the highlight of my day?

Why thank you! Glad I could brighten up the day in some smal way. XD And really, Calleigh's expression in that scene is what made me want to do that macro series. She just looks so...snide. It's perfect.

[link] [parent] [reply]

I'm wondering if I missed a huge part of Miami this week. I could have SWORN that the previews for this week had Calleigh rolling around with her gun. Or is that for later? Because I was uber excited and then got...Horatio family crap. So sad.

And what the HELL was Stetler wearing?

I think Calleigh's kickass gun-rolling is next week, or the week after, or something like that, I don't know, but I do have the sneaking suspicion that they're putting things in the trailer that aren't in the episode. They're baiting us, the bastards.

And that was not Stetler's worst outfit ever. Not by a long shot. Actually, considering some of his other color combinations, Monday's outfit was downright tasteful.
