I have an equivalent story, though not as daring.

Well, it wasn’t a yacht, but I was thinking like a houseboat or maybe some old retired fishing boat. Really, I’m just supremely jealous, as I happen to love boats and watched Miami Vice growing up too.

OK, so I grew up with Gobots too, and while there wasn’t really a distinction for kid-me between what was ‘authentic’ or ‘second rate’, both of these were robot cartoons, and I just loved everything that they both embodied. I knew the Transformers were bigger and expensive, but I was perfectly happy with my Gobot…

Dammit, now I want a female Yoda character!

It’s someone covering Creedence Clearwater Revival for krissakes.

Being from California, this story blows my mind.

This reminds me of a story I can tell. I didn’t get in trouble, which is why I need to respond to your story. :-D

I think putting Bill Cosby and Deen’s stories together makes an interesting compare/contrast media experience. Both men used their positions of power to take full advantage of women beneath them. One was publicly beloved as a family man character, while the other was a porn star - as contrasting as they come. (did I…

Utah blogger.

No, yes.

GSW fan here.

I turned on the end of that game when AZ was on their last scoring drive, and the play that took them to the 1 yd line looked like the ball was snapped after play clock had run out. I had no idea why no one said anything, but it seemed clear that as the play clock wound down, Carson Palmer tried to hike the ball, and…

It would have been cool if during the Obi-Wan/Anakin fight scene, they would have done some kind of Princess Bride reference, a la “I know something you do not know... I am not left-handed!”

Except that it wasn’t even the puppet, it was the CGI Yoda.

To me this reeks of an inside job. I’m sure I’m not alone in the experience where, when tracking a package, you discover that its status has become “DELIVERED,” yet you have not seen the package.

While I am probably a little too over-excited about Sexy Possessed Dana (Sigourney Weaver) minifig, I’m extremely disappointed there is no Enraged Smug Jerk EPA guy. Also, needs a really big Twinkie.

Not just anything, but COKE dumped on a child. You know you can clean your toilet with that stuff, right?

I had this exact discussion with myself over 10 years ago, because I’m over 40. I no longer own flannel shirts, period. Pajamas, yes; scarf, one... but otherwise I have successfully eradicated flannel from my closet. In its place I have undershirts, lightweight pullovers, and windbreaking jackets.

They did the same thing to our campus, but only the campus, not the surrounding perimeter. What this also did was give the custodial staff the job of getting rid of all the outdoor ashtrays that were established when indoor smoking was banned. Now, at every public entrance to the campus, you can find tons of butts on…
