Thank god and Jesus that's settled.

But the two are one and the same.

Unless, of course, you're a unitarian. 

 I don't believe in this conversation.

You don't have to. It believes in you.

Was I the only one who was more upset about the fact that Paul McCartney can hardly sing anymore?

He can't be as bad as Bob Dylan and Stevie Nicks have become.

...

Can he? 

Depending on how far back you go, they wouldn't even be able to comprehend the language, let alone gauge how civilized/uncivilized it is.

Anyway, suffice it to say, I'm tired of how dumbed down society has become over the past several years; modern language just reflects everything I've come to hate about it.

A completely random question - does anybody here know ALL the variations of the Enterprise NCC 1701 model?

I have the perfect answer, but Frink would suffer a breakdown were I to give it. 

 I have the perfect retort, but it's in Ebonics with a gay lisp and I think it would explode your brain.

...

Come to think of it, maybe I should go ahead and say it.

Go ahead. The scar tissue's gotten thick enough to withstand the worst of it by now, anyway. 

This thread is dedicated to the discussion to all things classical roc.

by way of time travel.

No one's gonna use tubular? That just isn't keen, cat.

I watch the original series on METV on Saturday nights. They air the "remastered" versions with the cgi effects though. It bugs me. I've never seen the originals, but every time I see an unaltered clip, it looks so much cooler than the boring new shots! So much more style going on!

I know what you mean. The only un-remastered episode I've been able to see within recent memory has been "The Cage". =(

I don't mind the revamped effects -- unlike the changes with the SEs, they don't ruin the universe or take me out of the viewing experience -- but it would be nice for me to see the original versions as they were when first broadcast.

Or is it just slang from the late 1990's to the early 2000's?

Extend that to cover the current decade and you'll find yourself right on target.

After months of intense rage, I've decided to relax my boycott on Marvel; it just takes too much effort for me to avoid Star Wars comics, so I'm not going to frustrate myself over it anymore.

Of course, that doesn't mean I'm going to bother with the main series or anything related to Vader (and I'm certainly not touching any of the superhero stuff at all anymore -- that ship has sailed right off the edge of a flat Earth), but I will give the rest of their SW output a look.

Question: what do you all think of Adam Driver, who could possibly be around for 2 more movies?

I think he looks a little too goofy to play a villain who isn't a drug dealer.

Of course, that doesn't mean he can't pull it off.

If only it didn't make him look fat. ;-)

^Physically, I think Joseph Mazzello looks right for the part. I haven't seen him in any of his adult roles, though, so I don't know if he'd be able to portray the character convincingly. 

"That's not a problem this thread is looking for."

If you are going to say something like that, you had better clarify what you mean.

"Bling-bling", "Dat is whack", and related crap is what I'm talking about.

I typically consider discriminatory speech to be the worst human sound.

If hating moronic pseudo-English and the sound of someone deliberately going out their way to talk like they cut their tongue on a broken bottle makes me discriminatory, then so be it.

. Seven months of therapy passed.

Ebonics is up there with the stereotypical gay lisp as the worst sound to ever come out of the human mouth.

I suddenly have the urge to write a short story about Anakin getting stranded on an uncharted planet inhabited by technologically regressed Hutts ...

I'm not so sure how to feel about Plagueis being in this.....

I, personally, would fear for my sanity had I any sanity left to fear for.

You hand crank them, they sound like crap, and only produce mono sound.  Sounds like a party to me!

Sounds like impotence to me.

Oh, but that's a Davnes joke ... I really should have let him tell it. *d'oh*

Imma let you all finish, but Beyonce had the best classic rock album of all time.

Heretic. 

 If that's a joke, I don't get it.  If it's not...what?

Just my subjectively humourous way of saying that Beyonce and rock should never be mentioned in the same train of thought together.
