I Burned My Leg Watching Battlestar Galactica!

POSTED BY:   MaxiSpank 

 

I'm only posting about this here because I am strangely proud of this accomplishment and want the world to know. Who else in fandom can lay claim to being so engrossed in a TV show that they didn't notice their leg burning and consequently had to go to hospital the next day cause it was a hot painful mess?

 

The back story is that I had to wait for hours for the torrent to download for "Daybreak Part I" - something that I have to deal with each and every week. Anyway, as I was waiting, I was surfing away and idly gossiping about a whole lot of nothing much, as we Spankers tend to do. So I was sitting there with my lappy resting on my leg, and eventually the torrent finished downloading so away I went. It was kinda cold outside, but my lappy was multi-tasking and acting as a bit of a heater. I was content and cosy, and getting very engrossed in the show. After a while, i started t think that my defacto heater was over-reaching a bit and I was getting a little hot, but what did I care - BSG WAS ON.

Then about 15 minutes later my leg felt REAL hot and my laptop suddenly overheated and conked out. I kind of had the shits with this fact and shoved it angrily off my lap.OMG. The state of my leg. It was this big red mush the size of a grape fruit, with a couple of enormous blisters and tons of satellite blisters. So gross. At least I had to deal with it, so I had something to do in the excruciating wait while my laptop cooled down again and I could reboot. I was more pissed about being interrupted (aka 'cock-blocked') mid BSG epi. That's just not on. Anyway I went and got it checked out the next day and its on the mend.

I'm just so proud of it though. I really need to get a life. I really should add a picture of it, but then I'd have to hide it under spoiler tags cause it would REALLY spoil your appetite

Katee Sackhoff Answeres Questions...And Is Awesome as Always!

POSTED BY:  NightSpank 

 

When it was announced that Katee Sackhoff was doing a Q&A with Cort and Fatboy after the airing of Daybreak Part 1, we Spanks all around went a little crazy. A few of us stayed up really late that night, forcing ourselves to stay awake, trying to come up with questions for the blogger, named "Liam", to ask, waiting for the promised fantastic blog coverage... which looked like this:

The "fantastic"blog coverage.

So, after our frustration blew over, Youtube videos of the actual Q&A were posted, and we all went crazy again... until we found spoilers in the bootlegs. Once we got over that, finally, Cort and Fatboy finally put the official video of the night up on Tuesday night... three days after everyone watched the bootlegs. It's amazing. You will hear Katee sing, say "Spank", and answer some really fun questions.

Click here to watch the AMAZING Q&A!

The video linked above has some wonderful highlights and quotes, such as:

• "There's nothing left to hit, you skinny bitch!"
• Does Katee like Jamie Bamber best in the uniform or in the suit?
• An iPhone decides if Katee is a Human or a Cylon.
• Juggling is mentioned.
• "Everyone can collect their checks for The Last Sentinel on their way out the door for watching the movie."
• Discussion of the toilet scene from 'Islanded in a Stream of Stars'.
• "If i was a director, I'd let myself go home earlier. I don't really like to work."

Oh, and have I mentioned yet that Katee sings? And that she calls her mom "MaSpank"? Because she does.

Starbuck is a Bad Influence on TeamSPank

POSTED BY:  AUspank 

A little over a year ago, forces were coming together to form something unlike the world had ever known. Planets were aligning, stars were shining and TeamSpank was being formed. In case you've been living on the nuclear wasteland of Caprica and don't know what TeamSpank is, we are a legion of slightly neurotic, but perfectly harmless (usually), fans of Katee Sackhoff. Although, if you are here reading this then you probably already know that.

One year ago this month (March 27th to be exact), TeamSpank became an entity of it's own and moved into their new home, TeamSpank HQ and The TeamSpank Treehouse. It's been a wild and crazy year. We've had good times and bad times and just plain out of control times. Through it all, TeamSpank perservered.

Katee has done some pretty amazing things over the past year too. BSG has ended and she's moving on to bigger and better things. We are all so excited about seeing her in new roles. It always comes back to Starbuck though. That's where it started. That's where we fell in love. TeamSpank would probably not exist without Kara "Starbuck" Thrace.

A few weeks ago, I got the inspiration to make a video in honor of this special time in Spank history. I first thought about making a "Katee" video, highlighting some of her greatest acting moments and how they influenced us. I probably would have lost my mind trying to find video clips from The Last Sentinal and Halloween Resurrection though, so I finally chose to focus on BSG. Even though some of us "met" Katee through different venues, I think we all fell in love with her because of Starbuck. So that's what this video is all about...how we fell in love with Starbuck (and subsequently Katee). Because, let's face it. If we had first seen Katee in TLS and never watched BSG would any of us be here now? I don't think so.

Thanks to all of the Spanks that posted your favorite Starbuck moments. I didn't want the video to be all of my favorite moments, so I asked you guys to step up and you did. There were some scenes that I probably would have never thought of or chosen if it had been left up to me. This truly is a team effort. I tried to include everybody's favorites, but there were a few that I just couldn't make work. I hated that, but the song was only so long.

Also, let me apologize if your name did not make the video. I had a limited number of "you's" to fill and more Spanks than I knew what to do with. I felt bad having to leave anybody out, but it couldn't be helped. So I devised a little formula to use and came up with the exact number I needed. Basically, if your name didn't make the video, you haven't been here in several months or you've made very few posts. Bottom line...YOU SHOULD SPANK MORE AND OFTEN!!

That's enough rambling. Here's the video. I hope you like it!!

Sorry Excuse for a SpankBlog

POSTED BY:  MaxiSpank 

Disclaimer: This blog is not my finest hour. It really has nothing going for it whatsoever. Not that any of my previous efforts have been much chop, but this one is really weak sauce.

Well then, there is no earth-shattering news to divulge, so I thought I'd make a weirdie-emo jigsaw puzzle instead (see below). My apologies. What can I say? I had a massive brain explosion when I added the jigsaws to the site. You've gotta admit though, they are pretty damn relaxing to do.

Oh Oh Oh!!! I remembered something worth passing on - everyone in the planet is being cojoled invited to participate in DJ's phenomenal poll: TeamSpank Awards: The Sackhoff. If every living soul in the Northern Hemisphere (and most countries in the Southern Hemisphere) does not participate in that (admittedly sensational) poll, I think DJ is going to top herself. So have a heart - do it for her. Take one for the team. (I think DJ is even trying to solicit a vote from my dog). Speaking of polls, there is also a new SpankPoll on the main site. This one is entitled "The best thing about The Last Sentinel was...." It's a far less accomplished effort than DJ's poll, but still possibly cathartic for anyone who seen that sublime cinematic achievement.


This is a terrific new interview with Katee (from early Feb 2009). Good to know that she is in good health and still multi-tasking during her interviews. That girl hasn't changed a bit.

There are a couple of skerricks of news I guess. The Sackhoff appeared in Nip/Tuck and BSG this week, so that was good times for the Spankers. Apparenlty her tragically brief Law & Order appearance was also re-aired in the States. (Pfff wasn't that a fizzer? I thought she was gonna be in the whole fucking thing)! Anyway, some saint has uploaded Katee's Nip/Tuck scenes to YouTube. Woohoo!

Lookin' a million bucks there. I'm kinda glad she's only doing a few epis of 'Nip' though. As shows go, it seems pretty bloody ridiculous. Still that doesn't make much difference to the Spankers, who, as we all know, will watch Katee Sackhoff in anything. (The person who uploaded that vid should be knighted or something).
So yo, if by some weird fluke one of The Sackhoff's pubicists stumbles across this can you please leak some little tidbits of info about if the new show is gonna be picked up, cause I for one can't hack the bloody suspense. I'm far more concerned about that than if I'm gonna have to hock my car to pay my next tax bill. I think I'd rather be forced into riding a skateboard around than to hear that Lost & Found got the flick.

So here's the jigsaw puzzle. I recommend the 240 classic cut, for the full cathartic experience. Happy times. Or not.



... oh forgive me. I forgot where I was for a minute there. Not because of the jigsaw (although that is pretty distracting), but because a person that I know in real life was doing a very saucy sex scene on a TV show. That's far more information than you ever want to know about someone you go to the pub with. So anyway, apologies again for my crappy thread-bare blog. I really need more hard facts to work my brand of bullshit with. Join us Spankers over at The Treehouse if you've got nothing better to do. (Actually, it would be a pretty pathetic state of affairs if you didn't have something better to do with your life than hang at the Treehouse).

Well I'm done for now thankfully. Spank hard, Spank often.

Robot Katee

POSTED BY:  MaxiSpank

Robot Chicken Shit I watched me some Robot Chicken the other day and as I was seeing some of Katee Sackhoff's contributions, I started to notice an interesting trend. What with being bored and an insomniac and on holidays, I thought I'd use my time a bit more constructively and so I began a closer analysis of the dialogue spoken by Katee in her many incarnations on Robot Chicken. I've attached some examples. Can you see what I'm seeing? ..... warning - juvenile content below (even by Spank standards). ...Hold on a sec. Some saint (who I may or may not know something about) uploaded this Katee/Robot Chicken highlight reel to YouTube. Nice moves. Here we go then. Let's study at some of Katee's Robot Chicken dialogue.... Rabbits on a Roller Coaster - Season 3 Epi 3 Frakking Galactica (as Starbuck) "Sorry I'm late guys, I was just having arnal sex in the locker room". Turbo Teen (as Pattie) [while shagging in back seat of car] Pattie: "Oh yeah. OH YEAH! Do me Alex. DO ME! Alex do me - COME ON! Alex I'm worried." Alex: "You afraid Brett's gonna find out his girl's cheating on him with his best friend?" Pattie: "No stupid. I'm worried our sex stains won't come out of those leather seats. Hahahaha. I LOVE being a slut!" Help Me - Season 4 Episode 1 Am I Needed Upstairs? (as Julie) BFF's hubby: "You know Julie, you never got a tour of the house". Julie: "You're right. Hahaha". [They go upstairs and shag]. Julie: "Woooooooooooo". [Then they get busted]. Julie: "My clothes just fell off". [Then their condom breaks, Trojan Man arrives on the scene & other shit happens]. Pre-Pubescent Alien Whore (as Diane, a lesbian) (The voice Katee uses in this one is funny as all hell. I had no clue that it was her there for a minute). Diane: "Tina are you really bi-sexual, because I get a feeling I never had a chance?" Tina: "Oh I am very bisexual Dianne.... [Then they make out]. Diane: [while making out] "Mmmm mmmmmm mmm.... Oooh!" [Then Diane gets her head blown off]. P.S. Yes, In That Way - Season 4 Epi 6 My Black Cherry is Gone (as Bitch Puddin') (You really have to see this one to get a solid grasp}. Dude: "I'd NEVER take anyone's black cherry without their consent!" Bitch Puddin': "Mmmmmmmmmmm. That's not what I heard"....... ....I heard she left home because her daddy took her black cherry". 2,400 Footlong Sandwiches(as a whore) Whore: "Hand jobs, five dollars. Get your hand jobs, five dollars!" Our Newest Member, Calvin (as Scarlett) Scarlett: [After a geek soldier arrives]. "I think we should cancel our 'who gets to fuck the new guy first' contest." So there you go. Typecast as an animated slut. I never even realised up until now that it was possible for voice-over actors to get typecast. That show is funny as hell.
