The Doctor: But did you bother to tell anyone that they might be eating their own relatives?
Davros: Certainly not! That would have created what I believe is termed... "consumer resistance".

Why do I dislike ham?  I love bacon.  Pork chops?  Forget about it.  Ribs?  Ribs!  But ham?  Fuck ham.  Fuck ham and don't use lube.

Who decided that the L in salmon shouldn't be pronounced?

 One of my biggest pet peeves is when people don't pronounce the "L" in a word that has a hard "L". For some reason it's always bothered me.

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

It's called evolution of a language. Letters get dropped all the time in speech and spelling usually takes a while to catch up.

It would be pretty weird if we pronounced every word the exact same way they're spelt, wouldn't it?

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to ren-dez-vooz with a girl named Sy-oh-ban. Her hor-doh-vrez are simply to die for (Unfortunately, they're so tug they have to be eaten with a fork and kay-nife.).

I don't know what that means. I'm not sure I want to know what that means.

 Stupid, yes, but not sexual.

 Agreed, although I'd be lying if I said this wasn't a personal anecdote.

That child psychiatrist was exactly right.   I was a kid at the time and with Ben saying in the original that Vader betrayed and murdered Luke's father, I didn't know whether Vader was telling the truth or was lying.  I didn't believe Vader was Luke's father until Yoda said so in the Return of the Jedi.

You're not missing much.

It means "The flame is born free, and everywhere it is in irons*."

I'm not sure why he put the L in parentheses, unless he meant the word to double as "femme" (woman), which is pronounced  as if it were ''famme.''

*as in chains, fetters.

You must choose. But choose wisely, for as the true staff will bring you life, the false staff -- well, we've all seen that movie around here, haven't we?

Choose thou, and consider well,  but not overlong.
