Is you is or is you ain't my baby?

It's Friday. And since some of you are too shy to come out without encouragement, I'm inviting people to admire my icons and ask me about them. Go on, it's okay. There are no stupid questions. Only questions that get you mercilessly mocked for all time.

Tell me about the kipper icon: who's the pic, what's the quote, what sort of things do you use it for?

[roseneko.livejournal.com]

The quote is from "Red Dwarf", in an episode where Rimmer (the utter failure at everything who constantly rationalized his failure to himself) met an alternate-universe version of himself who was a cross between Tom Cruise in "Top Gun" and Lord Flashheart from "BlackAdder". The cool-Rimmer's catchphrase before he went off to do Daring Deeds was "Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast."

I think the picture is John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness, a similarly dashing figure. But I might be wrong.

...wait. Why am I answering all of these?

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

Because you're at work and full of excess energy? (:

[roseneko.livejournal.com]

In my fingers, anyway. Must be the Bawls.

(That one's Hugh Laurie, and the quote is from "House". I'm on a roll!)

Very nice! An obscure one there!

[roseneko.livejournal.com]

Really? I would've figured "House" would be slightly less obscure than "Red Dwarf"...

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

Yes, but the House reference is one passing line from an episode. Ace Rimmer is a fan favorite who shows up in... I think two or three episodes as a prominent supporting character.

And I don't know that one, sorry.

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

No need to be sorry. (:
It's cult eighties television.

Yay Network 23!

Big Time Television! Twenty four hours a day, day after day, makin' tomorrow seem like yesterday!

And here I may agree with everything Miss Rose has so well said. I tend to use it for any posts about the Torchwood game (as Jack Harkness is the main character in the television show), or whenever I'm feeling particularly dashing, competent and sexy.
So mostly posts about Torchwood.
