The tag didn't spoil me, but this conversation...
No worries though.
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

"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.

I didn't even give a moment's thought to the implications of the quotation, beyond the fact that it made me laugh.
I know that - and it is funny! I don't blame you for wanting to quote it at all, and I knew if you realized it could be spoilery you wouldn't have used it. That's why I wasn't going to mention it. But then some random RoTS talk happened in Firefly, and suddenly I felt like I needed to get it off my chest. It's OK - I forgive you. *hugs*
brenda! are you kidding? I was trying to be so careful - I whitefonted and everything. If I did cause you to be spoiled by talking about it, I really am sorry.

All is well that ends in pizza.
My question about that "other penis" story, which, by the way, all discussion of such should be whitefonted, because...well, it just should, is this: where does the "Clark has a 15 foot penis" fic fit in with this story?

My opinion of the "other penis" discussion is that we obviously need new episodes of BSG stat!

... I was going to say something. No, really.
Oh! Speaking of geeky-Star-Wars cred, I was convinced in college by some upperclassmen that their use of the term "Hoser!" was due to a bit from Star Wars. I know that this makes no sense at all (upperclassmen told me a lot of strange things when I was a wee first-year, I don't know why) (or actually, I think I was a sophomore when this happened. 16 or 17, anyway). Nevertheless, this is true: if you watch the fight on Hoth in Empire Strikes Back, at one point you will see a walker fire into a clump of rebels (behind some kind of snow fort, I believe), sending them flying. One of them, while flying through the air, yells something. I have no idea what he's actually saying. "Gyoza"? "Gozer"? "Oh, sir"? But I will forevermore hear him to be saying "Hoooosseeeerrrrr!"
This post went on longer than intended. I blame the gin. And the tonic. Possibly the lime. Maybe the sleeping pill and blood loss. Anyway, my profuse apologies.

They are actually two different stories. There is one story where Clark has a fifteen foot penis, and impregnates Lex in the booty. Poor Lex. (The author originally meant to say that Clark had a 15 inch cock, but really, that's still pretty excessive. Not as excessive as a fifteen foot mast, but still.)
There is an entirely different story in which Lex discovers that Clark has a regular penis for waste disposal, and a secondary sex penis meant for pleasure only. It is creepy and traumatic, unless your kink is weird alien genitalia.
A visit to the SSA is rarely dull.
