There was a very funny story -- Sentinel I think -- about lube issues, and was inspired by a tale of cooking spray being used for lube.
Since alchohol is a big component of cooking spray, all I can say is OUCH!
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

If I only had a brain...
Same here; I've known Darth Vader had lava-pit issues as long as I've known he was Luke's father.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I have to give a golf clap to a fic writer I recently read who used sunscreen for just such a purpose. It made sense as something people would logically have near at hand, and bonus points for a character commenting "that's gonna sting!"

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I am kind of mad that you spoiled me for RoTS with your tag.
Damn, I'm so sorry.
But I'm also much, much stupider than the rest of the world, because I didn't even give a moment's thought to the implications of the quotation, beyond the fact that it made me laugh. Um. I hadn't seen the movie myself at the time that I chose it for a tag, and when I did see the movie I wasn't actually expecting the implied scene. It's only reading your response that I've gone "Huh. Oh yeah, I should've been expecting that..."
Which just goes to show how uninterested I was in what was going to happen plotwise, I suppose. Um. Or that I'm actually the world's biggest bimbo. Or that the whole merit sticker thing just struck me as immensely funny.
Will change tag.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
The tag didn't spoil me, but this conversation...
No worries though.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
as far as I knew it was pretty common knowledge, at least among fandom.
I had no idea! And here I thought I was Missy Insider because a friend of mine had the Star Wars screensaver pack for her computer (circa 1997). That was where I found out about the redshirt friend from Tattooine, and a number of bizarro factoids from early versions of the Star Wars script, scrolling vertically.
(The best one was one where your screen would just be normal, and then suddenly, DARTH VADER CLOSEUP!! and then would go back to normal for another couple of minutes. Beat the jawas-steal-aspects-of-your-desktop hands down.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I heard about it when I was a kid, but I forget where. I did read some conjecture a few years ago, wondering if it would really happen that way. The gist of it was that a lot of fans were going to be very dissapointed if it didn't.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yup. I remember hearing it early on. It may have been in the novelization of the original movie.
