All their descendants? I don't remember that ever happening from either a religious or secular point of view.
If Adam and Eve are the first 2 people on Earth, did God create extra people later or does everyone descend from Adam and Eve?
Tough crowd.

It would help if the jokes were better.
True. I just wanted to get the ball rolling. :)
When can we start making jokes about his death without everyone here being too sensitive about it. You know, like:
When Obama said he would take care of jobs, who knew this is what he meant?
Looks like PC finally beat Jobs for good.
So when and how did all the descendants of Adam and Eve decided to take the party to the Middle East?
I live in Wisconsin so seeing the Brewers lose again is rough. I'm more of a Football/Hockey fan anyway though and lucky for me I live in a great state to be a football fan. Go Packers/Badgers!

It's a joke I stole from the Simpsons. Homer says, "Lisa, if the Bible has taught us nothing else - and it hasn't - it's that girls should stick to girls' sports, such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing and such and such."
Genesis 38: 9-10
9And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.
10And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.
I think this is the masturbation reference. It doesn't apply today because

Hilarious.
Your discussion about Jesus is great by the way. I like Jesus, I just don't like some of the jerk-offs that follow him. Even the Muslims are down with Jesus, they just see him as a prophet and not as the son of God.
I also liked reading some of Acts as a kid. I love that Paul was a like hey, don't get hung up petty rules. If your neighbor doesn't eat what you eat, don't freak out. Just be cool and eat it. (I'm high and my paraphrasing is little too relaxed perhaps).

Hey man, I actually like Mitt Romney for being the most level headed guy in the Republican race (and being the most moderate). I don't care that he's mormon, I care that he's not waving his religion around like a maniac. He's a politician who happens to be a Mormon. That's better than Bachman or Perry who act like their religion makes them a better candidate. For Christ's sake Perry held days of prayer for the Texas drought and the economy (it didn't help). Say what you want about Obama's plan to solve our economic woes but at least he's not just going to "give it to God."
If there is a God (and there isn't) I doubt he gives half a shit about the economy. I think he would care about how people react to adversity and how the fortunate help the unfortunate through tough times. I don't mean "raise taxes" or "increase services," I mean donating time and money and helping people on a personal level.
My uber religious grandparents (Methodists) had strangers and refugees living in their modest home my entire childhood. They were smart enough to stay the fuck out of politics and just worry about what they can do to help the people that crossed their path. It bugged my grandpa that I am not religious and we've talk at length about how it doesn't take religion to be that kind of person. I think he agrees on some level but still worries about my soul and all that silliness.
Sorry for the rant but I get chatty when I smoke. I'm in a playful mood, and I hope my tone reflects that.

I listen to ESPN Fantasy Focus Baseball and/or Football every day it is on, which is pretty much every weekday except for a few months (Jan/Feb) when neither sport is active. I came for the fantasy advice but stayed for the schtick, of which there is a lot.
I also occasionally listen to Bill Simmons' ESPN podcast because it touches on all sorts of subjects (like movies and tv) rather than just sports.
I listen to the ESPN Fantasy Focus Football as well. I usually don't listen religiously after our draft, but I do enjoy the back and forth between Nate and Matthew.
I like this thread, too bad it came a couple years late for me. The last comic I read was the latest issue of Walking Dead (Robert Kirkman FTW!) but like I said that was years ago.

Sorry, I was being a bit oversensitive due to the posts immediately before and after yours.
and somehow you called me MR. SENSITIVE? Now that is classic projection. Why would I be sensitive? You're silly.

This thread bores the hell out of me.
You're right I apologize. I'm definitely an idiot for getting caught in these discussions on the internet. *moves slowly to the back of the room*
@darth_ender
Christians are the large majority in this country, how can you act like the whole world is against you?
Your initial post reminds me of bitter white guys during the civil rights movement who bitched about how nobody is allowed to talk shit about blacks. I can just see you now, "Oh I see, some black guys get hosed down and now they are protected by liberals!"
I wish I would have seen your initial post before, so I wouldn't have wasted so much time replying to your bullshit in the Politics THREAD.
JESUS CHRIST, BUDDY!

Am I in the right thread?

I'm still hoping for another Blu-ray release of the OT with the originals.
As ridiculous as it, I can kind of see the Lucas logic in not including them in a "saga" box set. If he put the OOT in he'd basically have nothing left to sell more Blu-ray editions.
I really don't see it. I think the current Bluray releases will be a hit and I'd even bet half the people boycotting this release will eventually get it anyway. If George is excited about all his changes then he probably has no intention of going back for any amount of money.

WOW!
I have fallen into a rabbit hole for sure. I didn't even know anyone was doing anything like this, its just incredible. After reading this article: http://bit.ly/cvrcKZ (not sure if this link is going to work) I am so happy to see that there are a lot of talented people not satisfied with the re-release of the Star Wars trilogy periodically with unnecessary extras added, and quality taking a back seat.
My only issue being that I have stumbled on this way late in the game, but I would love to see dark_jedi's masterwork. If at all possible could I get an invite to myspleen, I would really appreciate it. And again this is excellent work, kudos to everyone involved.
Invite sent. Check your messages.
Yeah, you are sort of late to the party. You should check out Myspleen and Fanedit.org as well as this forum to find older releases.

Welcome to the 'request a MySpleen invite' thread. Sigh.
I understand 112 pages are a lot to read, but is it too much to ask people to read the first post (the one that says PM Dark_Jedi for an invite)?
TBH I haven't grabbed these yet (just haven't gotten around to it), but with the wave of one-post wonders popping in just to grab an invite has me feeling uncomfortable about d/l'ing anything from MySpleen anymore.
Sort of defeats the point of a private tracker. I think I'll wait to find it on a different outlet now.
Normally members have only 10 invites to give, but a while ago I announced that we wanted to restore relations and would open our doors to all OT.com members. There might be a couple leeches but it's better than having open registration and letting everyone in. So Dark_Jedi and I both have unlimited invites, and yes people should be PMing us and not making posts asking for them.
If you are worried that letting in so many random people is a security issue, then I assure you we are extremely low profile compared to the 100s of other private trackers. We don't allow anything that is commercially available, except for fanedits/preservations/workprints/etc. In the past we've had copyright owners ask us to take material down and we've done that for them. We also don't store anyone's IP or email.
Here's a link to the original thread:
http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Once-upon-a-time-on-MySpleen-NEW-Star-Wars-Category/topic/12652/
Just thought I'd add this to this thread in case anyone else was worried. And stop flooding the Preservation forums with invite requests. Just PM me and I'll give you one.

Overall, I think the whole Amazon review situation has gone spectacularly better than any of us could have imagined. I thought there'd be a healthy batch of low reviews, but that it would be far outweighed by the gushers. Now, I know it will still sell well, but all told this has been great publicity for the OOT side, way better than I would have ever imagned.
I agree.
