“And now comes the part where I relieve you, the little people, of the burden of your failed and useless lives. But as my plastic surgeon always said: ‘If you gotta go, go with a smile!’”

I don’t want to leave you
Even though I have to.
I don’t want to love you.
Oh, I still do.

Me neither. Maybe that’s because virtually every turkey I’ve eaten came from the food bank, but still.

typically, turkeys that are donated to food banks are the same as found in supermarkets.

Yes. Also typically, they’re cheap brands. And who knows how long they’ve been sitting in someone else’s freezer before being donated.

It mostly comes from the original film, where the troops wern’t trying to kill our heroes.
"They let us go. It’s the only explanation for the ease of our escape… They’re tracking us."
In ESB the troops are supposed to be having a hard time because of close corridors and R2’s smoke tricks, ect.
In ROTJ… I don’t remember.

ROTJ is where the stormtroopers became truly incompetent.

Darth Bacon.

I’d call them purists, but then there’s the ambiguity inherent in the term “purist”.

Mmm … Darth Bacon. *drool*

It’s a stereotype which has been blown far out of proportion. For some, it makes what should be intimidating, formidable armed forces the SW equivalent of the Keystone Cops.

Personally, I can live with it in fan art and the like, but I hate seeing it applied in official works (Rebels, I’m looking squarely at you.).

Good luck. 😃

Welcome to the circus.

I, too, am very miserable.

Oh, well. At least I’m not a borderline nihilist like I used to be.

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear. Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair. So he changed his name to Baldy Waldy.

Like Humpty Dumpty.

I gave it as an example because he stopped posting right around the time summer vacation came to an end. I don’t think it’s the only reason, though, or even the primary reason.

I wonder what happened to our old departed friend Spuffure.

Four scenarios:

A. School started back up, leaving him too busy to visit the forum.
B. He lost interest in posting here.
C. He forgot his password.
D. Any combination of the above.

Just so there’s no confusion, I was saying I like the Superman of the early post-Crisis comics.

He can’t juggle planets, he can’t move faster than the speed of light, and Clark Kent is part of who he is, not some disguise. But above all, he’s fundamentally human – made as good a man as he is by the loving, supporting parents who raised him – not some distant alien loner, with an adoptive dad who tells him it’s alright to let people die if it protects his secret, who’s only good because of his genes.
