Thanks, y'all. I feel much more human today. Belated happy b'day to Vortex, too!
My sympathies to Shrift and congrats to Ouise. And my thoughts are with Shrift's Dad and Deena.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Timelies,
My sympathies to shrift and her family.
Health~ma to Deena's father.
So I've decided Pepsi with Lime is actually pretty good. Pepsi is my cola of choice, but I can't help but shake my head at them consistantly coming out with new flavors shortly after Coke comes out with the same ones.
Looks like I'll be seeing Episode 3 on Sunday, I finally found a friend who hadn't seen it yet and has some free time this weekend.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh yeah -- I sent it to them before I posted it here.
They then proceeded to have a conversation about the appropriateness of the phrase "back then," with one girl arguing that it took place in the future, and the other arguing that, no, it was just on a different planet.

I was surrounded by a group of middle-schoolers on a field trip, and three of them were trying to discuss Star Wars
I was in WalMart a few weeks back, and I heard a father explaining things to his barely school-aged kid. "Then Luke had his hand cut off by Darth Vader." "But Vader's Luke's daddy!" "Well, he's not a nice guy, is he?" "No . . ."
And I thought, "My god, Lucas did it, created a mythology for a new generation." I'm not sure the father was old enough to have been born for the first Star Wars.
I can't remember the title, but there was a movie in the last couple of years featuring dragons taking over the world and nearly exterminating mankind. One of the last communities was holed up in a castle. Two of the older men were acting out stories for the kids, and the story they showed was the scene where Vader cuts off Luke's hand. No explanation, none needed.
There's a lot of limb chopping in these movies, I've noticed. I think Lucas has issues with the loss of limbs.

I think he did it once, and then thought it would be cool to reference it in every other freaking film he would ever make. Like 1138, but gorier.

Wasn't it a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away?

Wasn't there a new species of rodent discovered recently?
Well, there is a new species of monkey too!

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
Thanks for the congrats!
I think for most people spaceships + past = confusion.
