Why even use a ship? Just strap a hyperdrive onto an asteroid and point it at the target. Take that a step further, and you can install one in an actual small moon and now you don’t even need the financial boondoggle of the Death Star. No crew, no finicky khyber-dependent superlaser, just pure mass colliding with a…

And we have our Winner of Internets for today. Nicely done, sir.

I’ve still never watched the original. I LOVED the 1990 remake with Ben Cross as Barnabus Collins, and it’s very possible that my mom still has the Dark Shadows joke book somewhere in her library...

I was fine until Shannen Doherty showed up. And then I was very not fine...

I am appalled at how far down I had to scroll for this. I was ready for the first post to read “I want 5 megawatts by mid-May”...

Anymore, I’m pretty much in the “You do you” mindset. Who am I to dictate what pleases someone else, or when they want to be pleased by whatever that may be?  Mrs. Copperpot busted out the Christmas romance novels ON HALLOWEEN NIGHT, and there will be one in her hand probably through Valentine’s Day. So, do what…

Mrs. Copperpot was nice enough to get me some Staghorn when she was in Door County a couple weeks ago. I’m trying to save at least one for Thanksgiving, but not sure if I’ll make it...

I’ll go ahead and take this opportunity to recommend New Glarus brewery’s ‘Totally Naked’. It’s just about the purest, clearest tasting beer I’ve ever had, and I buy it every time I’m in Wisconsin.

All I can think of is Fawlty Towers...

And, though not a comedy, they’re also at a good age to understand Dr. Who (in particular with the Ninth Doctor stuff - good mix of uplifting and creepy stories, and gets you to a regeneration very quickly).

Oh yeah, that’s definitely on my list for the first weekend - I just can’t decide if it’ll be before or after Davey Crockett and the River Pirates...

Mr. Boogedy is there, but I’m not sure about some of the other ABC ones from the 80s (pre-Disney channel, but only slightly). I suppose they have to save SOMETHING for a second wave of releases...

The Sklar brothers have a podcast!?!? Sweet!

(best Stephen Wright voice) - Hello

Yes! That line NEVER sat right with me. I was actually working in the collateral protection insurance industry when that movie came out, and so I know for a fact that if he was still making payments, he was required to have comp & collision on that truck.

I can only think of one:

Seems like a much more elaborate version of some of the stuff Cap’n Crunch did in the 80's. Hmm...I wonder if I still have that map of Crunch Island somewhere...

Another McRib article? I am much more interested in your take on the McChicken Biscuit/Chicken McGriddles they just put out...

Huh, I don’t see any comments about snuff. People snorted crap to dull their sense of smell. That’s why you only see ‘antique’ snuff-boxes any more. I suspect they pretty much stopped making them after the TV started reminding everyone that they smelled.

I had it for the first time a couple months ago while visiting some in-laws near Grand Rapids (Founders’ home town). I about sqeee’d when I then saw a 4-pack of it at my local Binny’s a couple weeks later. A bit more on-topic, I also discovered a truly amazing lambic - Kriek Boon (I THINK that’s the brand)…

I discovered that this summer - it’s stunningly good.
