Awesome.
(Is this reliable? Sometimes (often?) humor sites put in things that are not always true just to be funny. Probably not necessary in this case, but just wanted to be sure.)
If those lyrics aren’t exactly right, they’re pretty close.
I too have heard a similar story of the song’s origin and meaning from other sources.
This is surprisingly good. (Thanks to The Eldritch Mister Shiny for pointing this one out to me).

was it Billy Connely that used to tell the joke about laying on his hand to make it numb so it felt like it was somebody else.

Apparently. :)
No, actually my metatarsal dislocated this morning. I got it popped back into place, but my whole hand went numb for a few minutes. And that was the good part. :(
And of course it's the finger I rest the pencil on for handwriting. It'll be better in a day or two but that doesn't help me now.

TANK GIRL: Under-appreciated cinematic classic? Discuss.
Despite it being what many consider a cinematic abortion, and pretty much killing her career, I liked it. Still do actually, I watched it just last week, and still got just as much entertainment out of as I always did.

I would say, "What are the chances?", but that would be an insult to the Moorluckian genius.

Lol.
In truth the movie is exactly what it set out to be, goofy, campy, and dorky. It's so redundantly ridiculous in everything it does that I can't help but be entertained, despite myself at times. And besides Petty, who is a good actress, is so far out there as to make me grin ear from ear with ever campy little one liner she spouts off.

All good, but I believe you misspelled, "redunculous."

Hey! Cannonball Run is not a "B" movie! It should be regarded as the masterpiece of cinematic glory that it truly is!

If I liked camp, I might of liked this movie.
Nope, still did not care for it.

Because I like you, I'm going to assume you never read the comic book. It's the only logical thing I can do.

I'm right there with you. Can't wait for the new season to hit Netflix (No cable)

Whew - caught up on the 505 posts I had missed. Quite busy getting my PBP off the ground so no time for FAWTL :( Very belated welcome back to BT.
+1 on liking Mad Men. It kinda drags in the middle, but the last season regained the mojo of the first season. Looking forward to new episodes when they finally hit Netflix.
Also, favorited some posts with neat links to other games. Will have to look those up later. Have a great day before the weekend everyone!

Good Morning.
Why is it everyday I have to close up more threads, or even an entire section of the boards, and it always seems to be because of the same few posters?
Sadly, same here. It sucks even more when I see certain people that I'd usually think better of engaging in trollish behavior.

last friday i had a talk with my gaming group, and we decided to stop Serpent Skull.
The first Adventure was a nice change of pace
but the second one bores us. And I dreaded Dming the next 4 Parts because there is almost nothig I liked enough to play as written and not much time to re-write
we will play a bit of the second part casually and make a new set of first levels for "Crypt of the Everflame"

this is the Internet folks -in many ways outside of the heavy traffic while driving to /from work, it's probably the only place you'll interact with people who vehemently disagree with you on a regular basis.

Friend: I was totally loving the beta of SW:TOR it was so awesome
ME: Wait can you play a Gungan?
Friend: *With rage face on* No!!!
ME: Well that sucks, can you at least play an Ewok?
Friend: *Turning red in the face* NO!!!!
ME: This sounds like this worst Star Wars game ever.....
My wife and I watched The People vs. George Lucas last night. Kind of a fun "documentary".

i just don't get the ewok hate. And yes, this is me talking. They always seemed to be an example of why a rock to the base of the skull is just as deadly as a laser blast to the chest. That said I hated jar jar and still do -his people didn't get vindicated until the clone wars tv series.

I was interested in that, but after a friend described the premise to me, it really ended up sounding like something a bunch of star trek fans put together to keep the fan wars going.

how long have you been in Edinbourgh?
I remember the city fondly but I have spent just 1 and a half day there
Came home this monday - which, alas, is more than I can say about the internet connection at home - we were there for three days and a bit (friday afternoon to very early on monday), and I can report that it's still a very nice place, if a tad windy at the time. I'd not go there by car until they've finished the tram line, though.

Oh, if only we had a way to hide individual posts or perhaps filter out all of a certain user's posts. That would be fantastic.

Liking Kender, Ewoks, and not liking Firefly.
Pfft. You have no taste.

From what I saw, I didn't see any star trek fans at all -- or even mentioned.
Really it was just a lot of venting about how people feel he screwed up his fans -- special edition (Han shot FIRST!), Episodes 1-3 (Jar Jar?, "Nooooooooooo!", Midiclorians?), Indiana Jones (Aliens? Seriously?), etc.
Overall, I felt that it was kind of fun. There was certainly a lot of hate expressed toward Lucas -- as if he has some kind of "obligation" to his fans... The picture also did a half-hearted attempt to show how what he did wasn't all bad...
Truthfully, there wasn't much that I hadn't heard before.

i more have nothing against kender and ewoks than like them. I've found that most people who have issues with them are a bit unbalanced, like the situation mentioned above. I'll go into the story about the guy who had to be kicked out of the theater for ruining the rotj movie in the 90s another time, I gotta go to lunch.
