The dollars that horny 10-year-old boys parents gave them for posters were far more important to Lucas than the "dreams" and "respect" and "self-esteem" of millions of children.

"And that's the story of how Grandfathered improbably beat out the finales of Cheers, M.A.S.H., and every Super Bowl combined to becomed the highest rated program in history."

How does the president feel about sand? And can we get a statement on whether spinning is a "good trick"?

You mean like… Parrises Squares?
I also tried to start a Kosho league at my school. We were doing really well until the fifth kid broke their neck.

I think I speak for us all when I say "Willrow Hood or gtfoh"

The red lightsaber is longer than the blue one, forming a rough

It's hard to believe that the labels aren't making some better cash out of it, since they're the ones signing over their libraries for Spotify to use. I'm willing to bet that the only ones making money out of the whole affair at the moment are major label heads and a select few at the top of the Spotify corporate…

"Factfindingmission"… is that Dutch?
