The prequels literally exist just to make money.

That bit of cynicism aside, the prequels exist to fill in gaps in the OT. Other than showing how Vader became Vader and proving that he fathered Luke and Leia, there’s really no new information there. You knew that the Emperor dissolved the Senate (they said it in ANH)…

I was not happy the first time I went there ...I was thinking it was a factory instead of just a warehouse. The tour is a ripoff, but at least you can buy a 5lb bag of messed up jelly beans for a few bucks.

Dude, I’m in. I live maybe 30 minutes from Mars. And I pass the outlet mall in PP on the way there and back ...maybe pick me up some discounted WS ripoff merchandise as well.

How? How did I miss this QOTD? Shit ...

It is late December, 1995. I am a freshman at Northwestern University and the football team has capped a miracle season by winning the Big Ten conference title and getting invited to play USC in the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day. Me, three other freshmen, and one junior (I dunno, I…

It absolutely is - as it should be.

Honestly, I’m grabbing the links for two of the games because my kids like Star Wars and Frozen. If they learn analytical skills from playing games ...good. If they actually realize they can apply those skills to things outside of the games ...even better.

Just a note to Kim Lambert re: Gunther Toody’s. My parents lived in Broomfield and later Longmont and I ate at GT almost every chance I could get. The decor wasn’t any different than any similar theme diner I’ve been to, but honestly, the servers were always super cool and the food always seemed just a little bit…

I just passed one year of ownership of a V10-powered Audi S6. I’ve been considering doing a retrospective, but I’m not sure where I’d post it and whether or not there’s any interest in the community for one idiot’s thoughts on a rare-ish German family sedan.

Yes. As soon as they are old enough to get you a beer - if they drop the plastic ketchup bottle, who cares; if they drop the beer, it either breaks or explodes in your face - you never have to move again.

If it weren’t for the “my daughters” intro, I’d assume the blender story came from a friend of mine. Scary to know that there’s more than one of you psychos out there.

Especially when they impact the floor with their backs.
And then with their faces.

‘99 Dodge Durango

(I thought those were SUVs ...dd they make a Durango pickup when I wasn’t looking?)

The grille is from a Lincoln Navigator.
The hood emblem is a Decepticon sticker.
The front bumper is the REAR bumper from a Pontiac Vibe.
Rattle can racing stripes.

No. Thanks.

I have enough trouble sleeping at night.

See, I can get with that. If you steal from me, I will make sure you spend a great deal of time getting fucked. Makes sense.

I did. Once, while on a college road trip. And I can assure you that if the radiator hose on my parents’ minivan hadn’t chosen Norman, OK to finally give up and explode, I would have kept on going.

It’s a modern day miracle that none of the five of us on that trip were brutally axe-murdered and/or hick-raped in Norman.…

99% of the time it’s a simple spelling error - I can’t imagine getting all huffy about it. Like I said, it’s not even really an issue. Everyone knew what you meant. That being the case, having been held to a ridiculous standard of information security and privacy due to the possibility of HIPAA violations and the…

HIPAA, not hippa ...
Sorry, spent ten years in the healthcare industry (and it is an industry). I can’t not correct that.

Only if Sheryl signs the consent form first. Otherwise there’ll be hell to pay.

Shit, my balls go numb well before the hundred mile mark. I’m glad we’ve decided that we have all the kids we’re going to have ...I’m certain I’m doing serious damage.
