"My lord. There are so many uncharted settlements, it could be smugglers, it could be..."
"That's the one. And I'm sure Skywalker is with them!"

* whirls quickly*
* BONK *

"General Veers, prepare your men!"
"Ow. Can I have a few minutes, sir?"

*sigh* making comments about "put on the Imperial March and stand at parade rest while looking out the window" was a lot more fun before we had nimrods who actually thought the Empire were the good guys and anything after Ep VI was terrible.

Talking to Val and Kelsey sitting outside a car in good weather, when a train rumbled by and I could just see a really butch turret - like when they made up a T34 to be a Tiger I for The Thin Red Line - over a wall between us and the track. "What's with the tank?" I asked. "Oh. There's a tank museum near here." "Have I been to this tank museum?" "It's the one with all the rusty crap you were into." I remember a big field full of industrial equipment, and resolve to go back.

Couldn’t sleep, checked truck availability with Home Depot, drove housemate’s car to Home Depot, turns out Emeryville’s van got rented till 9 or so, Oakland has only flatbed trucks, am waiting at Emeryville and if this doesn’t work will use flatbed. I suck with tie downs. Feel like this is my fault for not moving at 530. One of those I-feel-superhuman-until-I-suddenly-don’t times.

and I packed a batch more boxes, helped troubleshoot my housemate being dehydrated and I'm fuggin' done.

keep her down, boilin' water
keep her down, what a lovely daughter
well she is not born like other girls, but I know how to conceive her
well she may not look like other girls, she's a snarl-toothed seether SEETHER!
INSTRUMENTAL!

they successfully made this heteronormative anthem into a song about going to the Federal Way Fred Meyer at 11 PM in a beat up van to buy more cigarettes during a torrential downpour.

only Soundgarden could take this Devo song and make it appropriate for hanging out on a gray day, drinking coffee and reading the Men Seeking Men section of The Stranger

seriously, how do I not own New Adventures in Hi-Fi yet? This album's fantastic.

An “ohitashi,” aka “shambling mound.”

A samurai asks a monk to define Heaven and Hell.

The monk starts just laying into this poor schlep. He's still tossing out insults all the way up to when the samurai loses his temper and pulls his sword.

"THAT is hell!" the monk says.

The samurai thinks for a moment, breathes, and sheathes his sword.

"And that is Heaven," the monk says.

This is very much how I feel about closing Twitter when other users piss me off. Masto is a LOT better in that respect.

ah yes, this best of John Williams has the Jurassic Park theme. Can I make it through without tearing up?

no

My old mask fits okay, but the jacket would pull open in a moment if I actually fenced in it; even I age.

have you considered that the end of the Rite of Spring sequence in Fantasia (aka "the good bits") is basically "everybody dies, rocks fall"?
