I thought young Beru was hot. I'd perform the "binary sunset" on her any day!

Please elaborate on what the "binary sunset" is and what it entails, and do not - do NOT - skimp on the juicy details please.

 

You need three people. Two go down...

While their son watches, listening to John Williams.

Son of the Suns, eh?

Ah, the good ol' days.

So... there you have it.

No, I'm not Darth Bizarro. I don't recall replying to a comment not directed to me. Which one was it?

Unfortunately, some members can't help it, and the first page of this sub-forum is an example of that. 

 

Since you asked.

I had made the mistake of connecting the 'you' referred to by twooffour to 'you' the Alexrd who took up the opposing end of the discussion at that point.  So while you did not say that most people here were bashers... you were providing counterpoint to someone who said they weren't. 

Though, after having quoted this same passage of yours several times now... Some members can't help it?  I can only imagine I'm one of these members... but I'm not sure what it is I can't help...  ???  Is the idea that I'm trying not to dislike the prequels, or, at least, trying to not post about it, but that every so often (or very often, perhaps) it comes bursting from me like some kind of uncontrollable PT hating form of tourette's?

I'm writing all of your names down.

@#$#^@#$^#!%. Its like they got into my mind and made a movie based on what they saw. This has broken into my top ten. On Netflix, see it now.

I'm somewhat amused by the oath you employed there, Bloodnose.... though I am loathe to reprint it.

All Mormons are black doctors who steal bras from their bosses to get promoted. Sorry, that's the truth. I saw it on TV.

Well!  There goes the Mormon segment of your fanbase.  Who's next?

WHY ALL THE TOLKIEN HATE IN HERE?  HIS BOOKS ARE VERY WELL WRITTEN.  AS FAR AS THE OPINION THAT  HIS STUFF IS HARD TO READ GOES, IF YOU HAVE AT LEAST A THIRD GRADE READING LEVEL THEN YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY DIFFICULTY READING HIS BOOKS.

Hard to read?  Or unenjoyable?

I don't know that anyone here is saying they don't comprehend his writings.  But in the case of the 1,000 year history of Gondor being laid out by a gate guard RIGHT BEFORE THE END OF HUMANITY AND THE (middle) EARTH ITSELF*! 

I just think that's bad pacing.

Never seen that one either.

 What?  No, this really happened.

Oh, I'm sorry.  I must have misunderstood.

What was your point then?  I took this:

Unfortunately some members can't help it, and the first page of this sub-forum is an example of that.

As some form of "most people here are just bashers and all they do is bash".

Maybe I should clarify it:

Shhhhh! is best kept secret.

Well, alright.  When do I show up and do I put this creepy robe on before or just when I get there?

Gaffer Tape said:

Hell, I even... oh, and I can't believe I'm admitting this, but at 11 years old, I even enjoyed "Jedi Rocks."  So much so that I used to run my ROTJ tape back and watch it over and over and over again.  Aaaaand I hate myself.

It's okay.  Girls can get away with those kind of flaws when they're young.  And now that you're older and wiser and still a big geek, it's just sort of cute.

I'm actually quite jealous- I could never get away revealing something like that.  As a guy, I'd get torn to pieces and ridiculed incessantly.

We wouldn't be as hard on you as we will be on bkev for using "halfsies" a couple of posts later.

 I know, right?  Ooops... I'm late for my Mani-pedi.

Bingowings said:

This is what OT.COM users are missing out on.

It's a George's 'special' celebration for OUT fans.

Are you saying that we, by turing 30 (or 20, if you're more bookish) have outlived our usefulness (youthfulness?) to Uncle George and he's having us... done in?

I think if anything, this list http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Okay-who-actually-HATES-the-Prequels/topic/13111/ shows that 2/4 is right and that there are fewer "rabid haters" here than "don't like it, but don't hate it" types.

I never said haters were the majority.

Oh, I'm sorry.  I must have misunderstood.

I find this "all people are bigots comments" distressing.  I'm pretty sure there's a few people in Minnesota who aren't bigots.

 I swear!  I didn't know my first wife was still alive after that plane crash and that she'd been living on an island for the past five years!  SHE WAS LEGALLY DECLARED DEAD!  I moved on and married another woman.  I'M SORRY!  But now my first wife is back and... well... I guess that makes me a bigot.

But it's not like she's totally innocent in the matter.... OH NO!  Turns outs my little "Eve" was hanging out with a different "Adam" the whole time.  Or Chuck Connors, or Randolph Scott or whatever his name was.

As soon as I figure out which [REDACTED] [REDACTED] you are.  I'm not buying it for all 779 of you!

 Ah, I didn't understand the [REDACTION]s.  Now I get it.  My name, sir is [REDACTED] and I'm the one on the left.

CP3S said:

YAY!!! Glad you were still able to do the vault.

Don't miss that Bobble head in Raven Rock (or whatever the Combine base is called). Once you leave that place you can never go back.

Yep, I'm just down to just these two Bobbleheads: Vault 101's and Raven Rock's.  Unless any other glitches come my way... I'm ready for the trials!

I'm curious, [CE](3?)[PR](3?)(i?)[CSX]/i, which solutions to the Tranquility Lane, Oasis, and Pitt quests did you go with and why?

doubleofive said:

So if you meet Frink in real life, he will buy you stuff to keep quiet about him? That's what I'm getting from this. ;-)

Hey!  I don't (because I haven't been able to) edge in on your free netbook and hotwings deals... YOU DON'T GET A PIECE OF THIS ONE!  Alright?!?! 

STEP OFF, 005!  THIS FREE CRAP IS ALL MINE!

Can I have this one?

 Only if you're good.

And then you claim you didn't start off-topic personal nonsense...except for calling into question one of xhonzi's approaches to parenting, of course.

Is it me or does 2/4 seem to have an unhealthy obsession with xhonzi's parenting approaches?

Good thing he didn't witness all the child beatings I did when I visited.

 ENOUGH, YOU!  OR IT GETS THE BELT AGAIN!

Interesting.  I think I understand where you're coming from/what you're trying to say... but it's laced with so much... er... wit... that I'm not sure which lines to read betwixt. 

Are your kids old enough to learn about Roger Ebert?

TV's Frink said:

I googled "prequeltrilogy.com" just now and got zero suitable hits. 

I guess we need to snag it and turn it into a... *ahem*... suitable site.

Yes, and there are also other guys insisting how awesome Qui-Gon Jinn was and that makes the movie as good as ROTJ.

It's just their opinion. How is that related to what I said?

Because my point was that this community isn't made of prequel haters, and the people I mentioned are the example that prove it?

And the first page of this sub-forum shows they are largely present here.

I think if anything, this list http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Okay-who-actually-HATES-the-Prequels/topic/13111/ shows that 2/4 is right and that there are fewer "rabid haters" here than "don't like it, but don't hate it" types.

Or at least in equal number.  True- there aren't a lot of gushers here, yourself excluded... but the site is called "OriginalTrilogy" and seems to not attact people who are PT or "saga" minded.

Updated the first post.  Let me know if I misinterpreted your comments.

I feel a bit like the waiter in Brazil insisting that Sam Lowry order his meal by number and not by name.
