My eyes!  My eyes!

I can confirm this.  I am very thankful for technology, as we all should be.

If you face Vader, you will do it alone. I cannot interfere.

Presumably, this rule still applies. I don't think we need to see the ghosts there at all.

Wouldn't be the first time Obi told a fib, but I agree anyway.

Everything in ROTS was distracting lol.

I find the lightsaber reflections distracting, regardless of how much sense it makes.  I love the saber fix a few posts earlier, however.

No way.  This project is enough work as it is.  I actually started on a Matrix Reloaded script but only got about 30 minutes in before I got sick of it.

Wait, what?  I think I misread your post.  Cut Indy 4 out?

He didn't, but I did.

(Indy 4 not included)

From wiki:

The similar sounding adjective "Nubian" used in the movies to refer to Queen Amidala's ship is cause for some confusion. Nubian refers to the planet Nubia, not to Naboo. The most correct adjective form of Naboo is "Nabooan" based upon an indigenous wild panther known as a "Nabooan tusk-cat".

Who knows if this is correct - it's wiki, after all.  I'm guessing the wiki page that used "naboobian" was this one:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xhonzi

Sadly, though Wookieepedia has an extensive article on Naboo, it doesn't say anything about this subject.

EDIT: Wookeepdiea: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Nabooian

EDIT 2: What the hell does this mean (from the above article):

Kaadara developed as a coastal town for the few Nabooan fisherman (not to be confused with nabooian)

I give up.

Oooh, the Germans are mad at me!  I'm so scared!

Hey, any of you guys play fantasy baseball?  A little late for this year obviously, but maybe we do a league next year?

I've never done that before, how does it work?

Ah cool, a newbie to take advantage of!

J/k Warb.  At the beginning of the year we have a draft.  With each pick you can take any player from any team that hasn't been picked by someone else yet.  For hitters, you have to have someone at every position, so you would pick at least one 1B, one 2B, etc.  Typically you also have a extra "utility" spot that you can play any position player in.  For pitchers, you normally have several starting pitchers as well as a few relievers (normally closers).  You also have several bench spots you can use for either extra hitters or extra pitchers, in case of injury or bad performance by your starting players.  The actual roster you have to fill varies from league to league - for instance in the outfield, some leagues make you pick LF, RF, and CF, while other leagues just make you pick 3 OF players.  But this is the basic idea.

For scoring, there are two different types of leagues.  My personal favorite it roto scoring.  Your starting players accumulate stats, which depend on the league.  Traditional stats are R, HR, RBI, SB, and AVG for hitters, and W, K, ERA, WHIP, and SV for pitchers.  All teams in the league get points depending on what their cumulative stats are compared to the rest of the league.  For instance, let's say there are 10 teams in the league.  At the end of the year, if you have the most home runs in the league, you get 10 points for the HR category.  If you have the least home runs, you get 1 point for that category.  You get points for each category, and whoever has the most total points wins.

The other scoring system is head-to-head.  It's more common in fantasy football but a lot of people like it for baseball (I don't).  Each week you play one other team, so let's say in Week 1 you and I play.  The winner of each category for the week wins that category.  So let's say I have more R, HR, RBI, and SV than you for the week.  And you have more SB, W, and K, and a better AVG, ERA, and WHIP.  You win the week 6-4.  Near the end of the season, the teams with the best records make the playoffs, and you play each other in individual matchups to determine who advances and who ultimately wins.

I love fantasy baseball because when the Cubs are sucking in August, I can still root for the players on my fantasy team.

Will somebody tell Asteriod-Man to unignore me? I want his help.

Sorry mr. b, this isn't on-topic, but Janskeet's post was hilarious lol.

List updated - added Modernknife EP 1.

They'd have to shut down most of the leagues lol.

Ha Ha! The second coming of Janskeet was proved futile!!! (Since his comeback, short lived, thread was closed, I thought there no better place to post this than Warb's comeback thread, especially since Warb was successful)

Wait, where/when did this happen?

I thought it was meant to be his tongue(?), stylised-up! Anyone?

I also think it looks like a mustache (or half-mustache, I suppose).  It looks like it is coming from his lip rather than his mouth.

Semi-related follow up.

Would it make sense to have a BANNED thread announcing when someone is banned and (more importantly) why they were banned?  I've been seeing a few questions about Darth Venal being banned, and while I can sort of see what happened with his attitude, I'm not sure if that was the only reason for his banning.  Also, I have seen a few "wait, he was banned?" posts from people who didn't even know.

It might help cut down on all the ban questions.

Wow, cool.  I refuse to say where I live now (witness protection program, ya know), but I lived in Littleton for a long time, up until about 10 years ago.

 sorry guys I dont know what the hell happened above I tried to delete them post but couldnt see the option..

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think there is an option to delete posts.

All I got were pictures of lions.  The wife was watching too closely.

Took the family to the zoo for Halloween.  I'd say the most popular costumes were as follows:

1) Clone Trooper

2) Lion

3) Slut

Come to think of it, the sluts might have been #2, 'cause at least a few of those lions might have been real lions.

View your (or anyone else's) profile.

This seems to happen a lot.  I thought I read that kids in third world countries are wearing New England Patriots 2007 19-0 tee shirts.

I just wish cheaters never prospered.

Too bad in reality they do.

Look how many championships the yankees won with clemens, and how many cy young awards clemens won.

The all time greats did not use steroids.  If Baseball is our national pastime it needs to be cleaned up not by the government but the baseball commissioner has to do his job.

I wish the Red Sox were in the series...

Which cheaters do you wish never prospered?  Ortiz?  Manny?  Look how many championships the Red Sox won with them.

This wins the Unintentionally Hilarious Post of the Week Award.
