As far as Biff=funny and thus not getting banned... that isn't fair, WIN Hellhound (DOS Hellhound's doppelganger) was damn hilarious and that poor bastard still got banned. Man, I miss that guy...

Fair or not, I think {WiN}Hellhound should be reinstated as well.

Actually, scratch that.  {WiN} and {DoS} can only exist together, or not at all.  Or something like that.

Looking forward to {LiNuX} Hellhound sometime soon.

Waiting for Ric's timesheet for Episode I in 5,4,3...

Oh yeah, pkmatrix you'll love it here. Everyone's friendly and we have a lot of fun on the boards. In fact the RUN! GET OUT OF HERE! YOU'RE WALKING INTO A TRAP! IF YOU CLICK ON THE AAAGH  AAAAAGH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHGHHH!!!

Less boring, but here I thought you found another meltdown. Mooph.

BORING!

You know, Warb, if you're going to get angry with the nonsense, I'd like my due credit as being the guy who brought you Dr. Frasier Crane.

I found 005's work as Niles much more convincing.

 What? The very gall!

Damn, I didn't pay attention, they wanted times too? FMR.

My order on left, canon answers to the right:

1. Vader's first appearance - Episode III
2. Luke's first appearance - Episode III
3. Ben's first appearance - Episode I
4. Luke gets lightsaber - It's not really yours until you make your own, so Episode VI
5. Death Star's first appearance - Episode II in concept, III in reality
6. Luke decides to leave with Kenobi & become a Jedi - preordained by the Force, so at the beginning of time
7. Han's first appearance - that was probably him flying the Falcon into the Senate building in Episode III
8. Heroes leave Tattooine - Episode I
9. Alderaan is destroyed - Episode IV
10. Millenium Falcon approaches Death Star - I guess Episode IV, but a future movie set between III and IV may prove us wrong
11. Luke and Leia meet - "Somehow, I've always known"=Episode III. QED.
12. Ben and Vader fight - Episode III
13. Ben dies - one is not truly dead in the Force; trick Question!!!
14. Heroes reach the rebellion - reserved for a future story; see #10
15. Pilots getting in x-wings and y-wings - too broad. I refuse to answer
16. X-wings approach Death Star (with Yavin in bg) - I guess IV, meh.
17. Vader gets in his fighter - I don't know, Episode IV? But was that really the first time in his custom TIE,lol??
18. Han attacks Vader's fighter - more like a sucker punch. The Dark Side is stronger, hel-LO! Like Han could really attack a powerful Sith Lord.
19. Death Star blows up - Episode IV.

something you have to go against what is popular and do what is right.  Remember, sometimes the majority is for the pretty bad things.  like slavery for example.

Ah yes, the slavery card. The majority must always be ignored and is always wrong because some people once owned slaves. To equate a health care system in need of some fine-tuning with human bondage is asinine, appalling, and offensive. Because what you do when you make that comparison is compare people who do not want to allow ever greater government encroachment into our lives to motherfucking slave owners. I'm tired of that rhetoric. Let it stop now.

You know, Warb, if you're going to get angry with the nonsense, I'd like my due credit as being the guy who brought you Dr. Frasier Crane.

I'm disappointed, really. Here I get silly and you don't even acknowledge it!

If those we elect do not represent our wishes, we can chose not to elect them in the first place

How do we know this is going to happen? If they're telling us all the right things beforehand, we'd have no reason to think they wouldn't represent us.

2.  according the Conservatives,  passing any healthcare legislation at all is unconstitutional. 

Jeez Warb, why don't you distort the reality a little bit?

This is my basic point about direct democracy vs. representative democracy. In our representative form, we are powerless if those who represent us do not reflect our wishes. In a direct democracy, we vote yes or no on monetary items. How many of you would have voted yes on congressional pay raises if given the chance?

Oh no, a girl??!? Now I'm going to have to put on some pants when I post!

Approaching weekend=reduced traffic.

I can't wait until LucasFilm gets the rights to Darren Aronovsky's films. Those Requiem For a Dream squishies are going to be so cute.

stealing vfp's idea...

 I, of course, was ripping off Bingowings. We're all standing on the shoulder of giants.

Oh, wait. Wrong topic.

A few notes: (See, it's a music biopic; "Notes"! Hah!)

• I've always been a little iffy on Kristen Stewart - sometimes she looks good, sometimes not. Playing Joan Jett definitely agrees w/KStew.
• Dakota Fanning is sixteen. This is a public service for anyone here who was prepared to heap praise upon her attractiveness. Now that you know, please don't claim ignorance if someone gets pissed off at you. (If you are in her age group or sixteen is legal where you live, forget I said anything)
• This movie looks interesting. On the one hand, Joan Jett the person irritates me to no end. On the other, she did have some damn good songs back in the day. On still another hand, she was hella hot too. I'll probably watch it at some point.

So. The Runaways?

I thought Disco Stu doesn't advertise?

Watto was one of the very few PT-only elements I enjoyed.

Oh, I can't wait to see your image. Let's make young Brittany's dream a reality!

Click for HD.  You know you want to.

 Oh my God. That is amazing. Bra-VO!!

Referencing the way Sam Jackson lobbied for the Mace Windu part.

Yeah, you're right - but it was fun to do it back when we were all complaining about the GOUT. It's like yelling at the furniture after stubbing a toe on it - it's useless and achieves nothing, but it somehow beats not saying anything. I don't know why.

For the record, I've never been a Lucas basher. Not on a personal level, anyway.

Ah, because "Palpatine" is probably based on "Palantine" the politician from Taxi Driver, and there are all these banners and buttons that say "Vote for Palantine". :P

 See (and I know this is at least a misdemeanor-level offense), I haven't seen Taxi Driver.

...but I wanted blackjack and hookers...

Don't feel bad. I have to make my own threads. And I don't want to ask somebody to dedicate a thread to me, because it's embarrassing and cheapens the honor when you go public like that.

No. Just a (very) slightly funny Star Wars related take on elections held in places controlled by despots. If Emperor Palpatine went through the charade of holding elections, he would have gotten those 99%+ votes like Saddam Hussein used to get, and woe be to those future stormtroopers who didn't vote for him.

A) Luca$
B) Lucash (Luca$h)
C) Lucass (Luca$s, Lucas$, Luca$$)
D) other

I have to know. My pick is C) Luca$, but usually I just go with the non-mocking GL.
