WHY ARE WE TAKING ALL THESE PICTURES OF OURSELVES? If you looked all a photo album and saw hundreds of pictures of someone had taken of themselves doing absolutely nothing you’d think they were narcisisstic assholes.

My wife and I argue about this. Her law degree is from American and she has colleagues who went to prestigious schools and insists you get a better education. Not having a degree, I argue those prestigious schools don’t have access to information a state school wouldn’t have access to. It isn’t like if you asked your…

Locks only work against honest people presented with a moment of opportunity. I have a deadbolt and one of those thick hotel flip locks but of course there is a door-high pane of glass next to the door right that anyone can break and just unlock the door. My wife and her family are paranoid about locking cars and…

This would never have happened with the metric system.

My wife is going to be so pissed if I do this and screw up her KitchenAid mixer.

I’m going to defend the Wolvering claws. I used mine last night to shred the fuck out of a chicken to make enchiladas. The problem with forks (which I used originally) is the tines are too close together and the meat gets stuck between them. You spend more time dislodging pulled pork that shredding it.

I know this article is written as a joke but the podracing sequence was designed by George Lucas to emulate the chariot race from Ben Hur with a slave in a violent sport for entertainment. The bigger problem is if you have access to a podracer and you’re a slave, why would you and you mom take it and haul ass since…

“Dumpster fire of a movie” is my new favorite favorite phrase and I’m unapologetically stealing it. Be flattered.

My bad. I had just watched it and I realize I only remember the partial message Luke sees, not the complete message she gives Obi-Wan.

I despise reading and am never comfortable so I do it lying down and inevitably fall asleep. Audiobook. I know from the beginning how long this is going to take (six hours... got it). I put it on and do something and it’s killing two birds with one stone. Wrapping Christmas gifts, doing laundry, cleanig the house and…

Of course they’re exercising “shoot first ask questions never” logic.

I concede to someone who knows more about monarchies than I.

I’ll one up you on that prequel nonsense. Crazy-ass Anakin has twins and you separate them and give one to a king and the other to the Anakin’s stepfather who when his wife was taken by Sandpeople didn’t even attempt to mount a rescue? Those were frickin’ Sandpeople... what are you going to do to protect Luke when the…

You know we have nothing to win here? I admitted coincidences happen in the world. I agreed with you. I just don’t think Lucas yanking the word Vader out of his ass and it happening to mean something is likely. If this were the case, Dr Seuss would have had this happen to him a dozen times before Lucas would have.

There are coincedences in the world. I just don’t think that’s one of them. So one of us is giving George too much credit and the other is giving him too little. The universe is weird that way.

Here’s a theory: George Lucas isn’t an incompetent asshole.

Trust me. Nobody pays $4.2 billion dollars for something without the intention to make as much money on it as possible. I expect them in 2017 when Episode IX is due and on the 40th anniversary of Star Wars.

So you’re going with Lucas just yanked a word out of his ass that in another language coincidentally translates to father... not banana or lubricant or anything else that would be completely useless in a story and then ran with that? Or maybe he chose it because it meant father and abandoned the idea.

People say this and I have argued for years that Lucas didn’t know when writing Star Wars that Vader was his father and Leia was his sister. Watching the trilogy again last week I’m questioning that. The biggest gap in logic is I don’t think it’s a mistake that Lucas named a character Vader which is literally Dutch…

When the government bans drones, only criminals will have drones.
