I figured that the various titles were reflective of hereditary monarchies, since Lucas didn’t want to seem anti-democratic — as opposed to the Emperor, who was a self-declared tyrant. It wasn’t until I rewatched the prequels a year or so ago that I remembered that the Queen of Naboo was an elected office, as opposed…

Are you being retroactively unentertained by the time you spent with them? How is it all for nothing?

It’s an honorific from her now-gone homeworld. It’s what a LOT of the survivors of that world would call her. Kind of like how Dany on GoT is still called Khaleesi (queen) almost as if it’s a first name.

It’s amazing how avoiding sun exposure and not smoking reduces the rate of visible aging.

It’s endemic of Hollywood’s sexist and ageist problems. If you are female and over 29, they marginalize you so badly that you’d think they were trying to murder you.

Aunt May is, and has always been, 85. Hollywood refuses to cast 40-year-old-women as the wives of 50-year-old men because “that’s too old” (remember that? last month?). They’ve been ramping up the “throw women away pat their expiration date” problems, and this? Marisa TOmei is 50. In Hollywood terms, she might as well…

Ah. Too bad you’ve got a little George Costanza thing going on

Adam pitched that idea of sending Scott on a mission...

I give this system 5 stars out of 5! Must see!

My research indicates five is the best age.

Guacamole becomes guacamole when you add lime and whatever variation of cayenne or other Mexican peppers. The tomatoes, onions and jalapenos are optional. And this might be an unpopular opinion - but guac sans onions and tomatoes is the best guac. Tomatoes and onions just interfere with the delicious and smooth…

Yup. And it’s one of the short cuts that makes no sense, since you can make the real deal for cheaper with hardly any more effort. Red onion, tomato, cilantro are cheaper than a jar of shitty el paso salsa, and better.

So she sometimes agrees and sometimes disagrees, and that makes her amazing? Wouldn’t that be true of 99% of the population?

No shit. Christ, Seinfeld was up on salsa 20 years ago. Salsa + mashed avocados = quick homemade guac.

This shit started after 9/11. Talk about letting the terrorists win.

I also have lost a day or two of my life in the odd nap/pass out situation. I don’t recall with total certainty what circumstances surrounded the initial pass out, but I do recall waking up at 3am and thinking my clock was reading 3pm (blinds were closed so I had concept of where the sun was in relation to the earth)

But tablets though. When I was getting a family car, it cost thousands of dollars to add on an in-car DVD system. You can get the kids individual tablets for much less then that, and then they can watch what they want instead of fighting over what everyone will watch. And you don’t have to keep track of DVDs.

It warms the cockles of my heart to see chewing with your mouth open come up again in the funbag, two years after I asked it in the old live funbag. SERIOUSLY PEOPLE WHAT THE HELL CHEW WITH YOUR DAMN MOUTHS CLOSED. No faster way to make me terribly uncomfortable and counting the seconds until we’re done eating.

(This actually happened to me once in college during Senior Week. I got up, went to a party, got completely shitfaced by 2 p.m., then passed out in my room. When I woke up, it was 5 a.m. I’ve never been more confused. I basically stole a day from my own life. I don’t recommend it.)
