Did you go with your dad?
Yup!
Oh and that reference? Whoooooooooooooooooshed over my head.
"You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious." It's from Star Wars. I'm a big geek.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Yup!Okay, I did know. Maybe you mentioned it in a brief stop-in here, or in LJ.

Luckily, the body count is so very high from season to season on 24, you barely have to know anything about what's happened with the characters previously to be able to follow a new season....

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Star Wars. It's where the famous cantina scene is in the first movie. On Tatooine, Luke's home planet.

See my edit. I realized that if the name didn't click, the quote by itself wouldn't either. It's what Obi-Wan says about the spaceport where they hire Han Solo (Han shot first!).

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Are you going to give us a recipe.
I'm just using Good Eats' recipe this year, although it's pretty freakin' task-intensive. [link]

Thanks Dana, and Emily. I would have recognized Tatooine.
Gah, my geek cred is so low.
eta...
Thanks, bon bon.
Wow. That does look labor intensive.

Say, anybody remember the conversation we had about elementary school teachers who tell their students that you "can't" subtract a bigger number from a smaller one, and how betrayed some people felt by that? The textbook we're using tells me that "Negative numbers have no square roots." Now, eighth graders don't need to know about imaginary numbers -- they're certainly not going to see them this year, and maybe not ever. But to completely deny them like that... for shame, McDougal Littell!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ugh. What's wrong with, "The square root of a negative number is called an imaginary number. In this section, we will only deal with square roots of non-negative numbers."
