People I know keep having conversations about characters called Phasma and Rylo and … uh, actually I can't remember any of the other names. I must be old now, because I seem unable to hold that kind of information in my addled mind anymore. Time to be frozen in carbonite and hurled into space.

I was conceived in the back row of a theatre whilst Empire was playing!

Hey, it's Star Wars. If a thing exists, you can slap the logo on it and sell it for a premium.

… I buy myself a present.

But then it would be a completely different series. It would have a preacher and a vampire and a guy with an arse for a face in it, but it wouldn't be Preacher.

Be still my beating arse … face.

Donut flavoured vodka, or vodka flavoured donuts?

Wouldn't the animal opposite of a dog be a porpoise, or something? Or maybe a bird … hmm.

The voices in your head are making you!

A way to launder drug money!

Some sort of complicated blackmail scheme.

Money is a great reason. It can help you acquire everything you need in life.

But we're no in ancient Mesopotamia, so dogs can go suck a dick. And even if we were in ancient times, we'd be worshipping cats as gods, like the Egyptians!

You write, "[they] remade Howard Hawks’ The Thing From Another World as The Thing in 1982 …" and then immediately contradict yourself by putting in a quote regarding the true situation?
