Shadowy Insider Sources

Brendocon · Post by **Brendocon** » Wed Aug 09, 2006 9:00 pm

Can anybody give me some examples of ubercool (or notso) shadowy inside source informant type people from popular culture or something?

I'm writing a painfully self-referential culturally parodying essay/fic thing, but need a crossover cameo from an awesome inside source.

I was going to use one of the Awesome Inside Sources from The X-Files, but I've got an X-Files crossover later on and I don't want to bog it down too much.

Help?

The Shopkeeper from Mr Benn?

Can't think of any. Someone mentioned the X-Files and all I can think of now is that the guy who played Deep Throat was Mark Twain in TNG.

All I can currently think is "which bloody episode of Angel is Pissin's current sig from. I know I've watched it in the last fortnight... dammit..."

Sounds like a Cordy. Sounds familiar.

Sounds like I wouldn't have watched it in a good 5 years.

It's from 'Provider', season 3, and it's Lorne.

I quoted it from memory-a little research leads me to believe the quote may actually be:

" One I'm sure we can all download at 'I'll never know the love of a woman dot com.'"

I was right! I hadn't seen it in 5 years!

Oh. And I've got an inside source. Very obscure, mind.

The 'bub' guy from 12 Monkeys.

He seemed pretty clued in about what was going on.

But did the 'Bub' guy really exist or was he in Bruce Willis' head?

What about Oracle in Batman?

Pete Tyler in Rise of the Cybermen?

The security guard in the animal testing lab in Spaced?

Wouldn't that make him the most inside of inside sources?

Rich Johnston!

Well, he is going to be in a comic.

Popbitch?
Mr Holy Moly?
Comical Ali?

...Ford Prefect/The Guide?

Only up to twelve.

Then he kinda gets a blind spot.

Good thing Judas H. Priest didn't invent the analog clock face. Oh.
