Adam Savage of Mythbusters fame says "Fancy bastards"
  • lardboylardboy October 2008

    I was just watching the mythbusters episode about pulling apart 2 interleaved phonebooks and when the group is trying to tug the books apart from a fixed point Adam Savage says something along the lines of "pull you fancy bastards".

    I was under the impression that "fancy bastard" was a phrase coined by Joel for HE is this the case and the phrase has found it's way it to the geek lexicon or was it already in more general use before Joel used it and I simply wasn't aware of it.

    I thought I made it up. The only expletive I've heard with "fancy" is something along the lines of "sweet fancy Moses!"

    The episode ran on September 10th. I don't know when it was filmed, but that points pretty damned strongly to Joel thinking of it first (the original FB comic was posted on March 24th).

    Haha, I remember him saying that now. I think its very possible that Adam is a reader, hes definitely in Joels core demographic.

    Did some googling and besides HE the only other fancy bastard entries are for a jam/rock band called FancyBastard from Minneapolis formed in 2004.

    Maybe the next comic should involve 'Fancy Bastard' in popular use...

    Or maybe the HE crew need to be involved in some mythbustery

    Off-topic: I'm watching an old episode, and it's amazing how far they've come. The two myths are a can of biscuit dough popping open in a hot car, and whether or not a person could throw themselves through a plate glass window.

    Yeah, I remember watching the season premiere and thinking, "This is pretty goddamn cool!". Then a few years later I watched them vaporize a cement truck. My life flashed before my eyes.

    Adam Savage just posted on his Twitter that Kari Byron is expecting. Today's discussion question - does that make her less desirable because she is (most likely) taken? Or more desirable because you know she puts out.

    More. Im going on a limb (prayer) that she is single and just likes to get around. I'm all for that.

    I wonder if it's Tori's, i remember there being more than a few episodes where those two are giving each other the eye something fierce.

    If the baby is Tori's, it's going to be super-hot when it grows up. Mmm, Tori's a fine piece of man. The whole daddy thing will just make him that much hotter.

    It's moments like this that remind me why we are all the Fanciest of Bastards.
