Before I do, I have two other things I’m-uh gonna-uh talk-uh about-uh:

1. Have you ever been alone in a public bathroom pooping when the automatic flusher in the next stall goes off? You’re just sitting there TCOB-ing it and you’re all alone. It is perfectly quiet. Then the automatic flusher in the next stall is triggered and the whoosh of the toilet sounds off like an explosion cutting through that silence. It’s scary. Oh great there is a ghost in the bathroom. Fan-fucking-tastic, my pants are around my ankles and the stall next to me is haunted by a poltergeist. And is it just the stall? Or the whole bathroom? Is the ghost confined to those plastic partitions or is it signaling to me it is there in the bathroom and now is standing in the extra luxury space of the handicap stall watching me on the toilet?

Either way, I don’t know proper ghost etiquette. Do I handle pooping next to this ghost like it was a normal person? Do I cough loudly when I’m going to fart to mask the sound? Do I have to explain the smell? Do I have to explain why the noises? “I’m assuming you are a ‘Mr.’ Ghost because this is the ‘men’s room’. I had a corn beef sandwich yesterday for lunch and Swedish meatballs for dinner last night and, well, a couple pieces of cake. It was an emotionally trying day and I comforted myself with food. This morning I’ve had a little more coffee than I usually have to try to help flush out yesterday’s eating habits. I hope that explains why it smells like burnt formaldehyde and why it sounds like I’m drowning a bag of cats in the stall next to you. I’ll make sure to courtesy flush.” Purely hypothetical scenario.

2. On What Would Tyler Durden Do yesterday, there was a picture of Jennifer Love Hewitt eating ice cream. Actually it is of her holding ice cream, but that’s pretty close. I’m not taking 100% credit for that. Actually I will. Anytime you see a picture of a celebrity eating or holding ice cream from here on out was inspired by me. This is a side note to a side note, but recently Jennifer Love Hewitt was discussed in my real life concerning her having a nice long list of douchey boyfriends. Just saying. Oh yeah, she wants it and she’s hot. Maybe a post for another day.

STAR WARS!

Well, I really only want to talk about the original trilogy, the Holy Trilogy, but I have to say something about the Prequels which are an abomination. The Prequels are so terrible they need to be discussed for at least a minute or in my case a two pages with pictures which may end up going for way too long to the point that I make this a 2 part post. We’ll just have to wait and see on that. I was/am surprised as many of you can lay claim to not seeing Star Wars in any capacity. The question, whether or not you should see the Holy Trilogy? That is an emphatic YES! YOU NEED TO MOTHERFUCKING SEE THEM AND KEEP SEEING THEM UNTIL YOU ROB YOURSELF OF YOUR YOUTH AND BURNT OUT YOUR RETINAS AND NOW YOU ARE BLIND WALKING AROUND IN HARD SOLE SHOES LIKE RAY CHARLES!!!!!!  But should you see the Prequels? No.

That is an inside voice and direct “No”. Don’t see them. I understand wanting to watch a bad movie because it could be so bad it will be funny. As of right now, I kind of want to see Law Abiding Citizen with Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx. Reason being: that movie looks provocatively stupid. Gerard Butler is in jail, but he is still orchestrating the most complicated assassinations ever outside of the jail. Uhhh, what? Sneaking in a couple of airplane size bottles of Jack Daniels, buying a small Coke at the concession stand, dumping half of that Coke into the bathroom sink, mixing in the airplane bottles of bourbon whiskey, and then going to see the movie while sipping on that happy juice sounds like a good plan.

The problem with the Prequels and that plan is they are forever long. Those movies are so long you’ll be shitty drunk by the opening credits and you’ll be dead sober by the closing credits. Not fun. It’ll be like going to detox. Also you may end up quitting drinking altogether because from that moment on you will associate drinking with the Prequels and will never want to relive that experience again. Booze is supposed to help you forget about the Prequels, not help you remember them. The Prequels are that bad even if you haven’t seen the Originals. If you have seen the Originals then imagine watching your childhood being water-boarded, actually just imagine yourself being water-boarded. Ugh they suck.

So I’ve been posting pictures of Natalie Portman. She is so hot and she wants it. Natalie Portman and Jennifer Love Hewitt both want it and they both have a lot of douchey boyfriends. They would probably have a lot to talk about over coffee. Anyway, I think Natalie Portman is so hot I think she should be in every movie. Like all of them. I honestly don’t care how they figure out her to be in the movie she should just be in them. Short hair? Yes. Long hair? Yes. Shaved head? Yes. I don’t care just put her in the stupid moving pictures! I honestly could stare at this all day:

Natalie Portman is in the Prequels. She is the only redeeming value the Prequels have, but she has made tons of other movies, so just go see one of those movies. I would suggest Closer. It is a good movie plus she is in a thong in it which is amazing. V for Vendetta is a great choice as well. Not much of her in a thong, but a great movie nonetheless. Natalie is also in The Professional which is one of my favorite movies. She is 12 in it and she does want it. There are no two ways around that. It’s a French film so they’re the creeps not me. That is a strange way to end the Prequels segment… hmmm… she’s good in that movie. Gary Oldman is amazing in that movie. Seriously, I didn’t cast, direct or write any of that movie. I’m not to blame. Stop judging me. I didn’t write the scene where she does the Marilyn Monroe “Happy Birthday” song to Jean Reno. I had nothing to do with it. Next paragraph –

Natalie Portman wants it a lot. More than most. I probably should just turn this post into a post about how much she fucking wants it, but… uh screw it. She wants it. Natalie really wants it. But there is more context to her want than Kristen Stewart’s. Natalie is definitely in the high percentage of wanting it all the time. She would be in easily the about 3/5ths (fractions?) range. As far as magazine photo shoots or red carpet appearances that number gets way the fuck jacked up to 9/10ths. Natalie Portman wants it on that red carpet. She’s like a bull. Natalie “Toro” Portman. When she sees that red carpet her eyes focus, her mouth slightly opens and then she says in head in a breathy whisper “I want it” and flash bulbs climax everywhere.

 

But the difference is, Kristen Stewart does that everywhere. Natalie frames her want in certain settings, certain scenes of a movie, certain moments in life. Kristen doesn’t have that luxury. Kristen Stewart just wants it all time every time every where. Natalie Portman uses her gorgeous sexy want like the precious perfect diamond commodity it is. Natalie Portman’s want is a Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. Natalie’s want is a classy expensive filet mignon or kobe beef steak dinner served with red wine by the glass. It is an international chain of elegance and fine dining and is available year round. But it isn’t an every night of the week engagement, you’ll need reservations, you need to dress up. Kristen Stewart’s want is like McDonalds. There is already at least one EVERYWHERE and they are still building new ones. They’re open to 2am if not 24 hours. Bare bones prices and everyone is welcome 7 days a week. Kristen Stewart’s want, I’m loving it!

 

Return of the Jedi is the best Star Wars movie.

Damn it. I’m already at the third page and I haven’t talked about the Originals yet. By the way, I’m going to talk “spoilers” because these movies came out literally forever ago and at the same time may be the most widely referenced movies ever so you should’ve fucking seen them already. Hmmm… Well let me just play the hits then – I don’t agree with Dante’s rant in Clerks that Empire Strikes Back is the best Star Wars movie.

Empire is easily the second best one, but not the best. Generally speaking, I can see his point. I do understand why he believes Empire Strikes Back is better because it has an edgier storyline, the bad guys win, it is dark, real life is dark and blah blah blah cry cry cry. Besides that Empire Strikes Back is great for a ton of other reasons: snow battle scenes on Hoth, Luke learning to be a Jedi with Yoda, parallel story telling of Han Solo’s journey and Luke’s journey, Han being two-timed by Lando, Han being frozen by Boba Fett, Darth Vader like a bad ass tossing Luke around like a bitch and then cutting off his bitch hand, revelation of Vader being the sperm donor, the greatest line in Star Wars “I love you” “I know”… and on and on and on. Sure one could view it that way…. That is if they wanted to be wrong.

Return of the Jedi is hands down better. First,

 

You’re gay if you think otherwise. This was in Return of the Jedi! SLAVE GIRL PRINCESS LEIA! This and Phoebe Cates taking off her bikini top in Fast Times at Ridgemont High are the most popularly referenced masturbatory fantasy scenes in modern movies. Seriously, seeing Princess Leia in that gold bikini with a collar around her neck chained to the greatest morbidly obese character in movie history, Jabba the Hut, was a defining moment in every straight man’s and gay women’s life. Carrie Fischer looked unbelievable in that bikini! Also the reveal of Princess Leia just being in that outfit and everything was just so mind-blowing.

 

Up until that point Leia wasn’t running around the Death Star in knee high socks and a sports bra. She was a Princess(!) and was always conservatively dressed. But this! Good God! It came out of nowhere. Imagine you come home one day and your dog you have had your whole life just turns to you and says “I can fly and can grant wishes. Oh and I can talk too. I have understood everything you have said. I have decided that it is about time I tell you because I really wanted to express to someone how much I’ve been enjoying Alien Week on KSWI and I do think he is right that Kristen Stewart wants IT. Yes, I know how to use the computer. I have also taken the liberty of preparing your taxes for you for next year. To be blunt, you are retarded when it comes to handling your personal finances. I will grant you a single wish each day from this day forward. But my wish granting capabilities are restricted by time, so if your first wish was for Carrie Fischer dressed in the Slave Girl outfit from Return of the Jedi then it would today’s Carrie Fischer in that outfit and not 1983’s Carrie Fischer and I do not believe anyone wants to see that.” It was like that surprising.

 

What else does Return of the Jedi have? Luke is a fucking badass in it. Luke is decked out in black with a pimp hand black glove, a green lightsaber he is cutting every mofo’ up with, he does flips, he uses the force et cetera. He is an actual hero in the movie. He isn’t some cry baby pretending to be a tough guy. He is actually beating people’s asses left and right. Also, not going to lie, LUKE FUCKING WANTS IT. He wants it so bad in that whole Jabba the Hut beginning of Return of the Jedi. He wants it less when he is dicking around in the forest fighting the stormtroopers, but then he wants it a ton at the end. I mean how can you not love the movie that features the final climatic fight between father and son, good and evil, light and dark, Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader!

 

What else? Everyone is kicking ass and taking names in that movie. It is nearly all action with an incredibly emotional ending. Leia is kicking ass, Han is kicking ass, Chewbacca is kicking ass, Lando is kicking ass, R2D2 is kicking ass and an entire civilization of hairy dwarves are kicking all the ass. Fuck Dante for calling the Ewoks “muppets”. Muppets!?! MUPPETS!?! I’d like to see Gonzo take down an AT-AT walker! Not only one, but several. The Ewoks are throwing rocks, using bolos, setting up trip wires, riding the forest hoverbikes and at the same time they are the most adorable little snuggle bunnies that most likely have rabbies, scabbies and all the other “bies”. They live in an elaborate tree fort; hygiene didn’t look too high on their necessities list. Empire is a phenomenal movie, but Jedi is everything that you’ve been waiting for.

 

Lastly, to tie in Kristen Stewart yet again. God help us all if there is a Yoda, Emperor Palpatine, Obi Wan Kenobi, or whatever to help teach Kristen Stewart how to harness her want. I think it’s best we all leave Kristen Stewart’s inability to use her want where it is. She doesn’t need to get any better at using it or learn how to control it. If someone taught her how to control it instead of letting it endlessly leak out like a hole in the Hoover Dam then we wouldn’t get to see it all the time. Kristen would hide her want like these other celebrities and only show it to us at proper times. Instead Kristen’s want runs buck naked through the streets of all our lives and that is a good thing. At the same time, we don’t want anyone to teach her how to truly harness her want.

As valuable as it would be for Kristen Stewart to be able to weaponize her want and obliterate anything in her path, I don’t want that to happen. That is way too scary of a proposition if that were to fall into the wrong hands. By “wrong hands” I mean anyone’s hands, but my own and, maybe, Bo Jackson. I think I can trust Bo Jackson. I love Bo Jackson. Nevertheless, Bo Jackson and I know that power has the potential to cause more harm than good. As mentioned it could be our only hope to survive the elephant apocalypse, but who knows? Maybe by then we’ll have lightsabers. I could kill some elephants with lightsabers.

I want to keep writing about Star Wars, but the internet may die when I try to upload that document whenever it was finished.

    I think I can ease your mind about the side-stall ghost flushing. I don’t believe in ghosts, so the first thing I thought of was escaped anacondas coming up through the plumbing pipes. Because that does happen. Believe you me, it happens a lot. The good news is, you don’t have to courtesy flush for a big-ass anaconda, plus if it’s in the stall next to you setting off the infrared trigger it ain’t in your stall. The bad news is . . . it’s close.

    I took it upon myself to watch A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi in one sitting on a Sunday afternoon back in 1998. I don’t think I even got up to pee during those approx. 7 hours.

    I saw the first new movie in the theater, fell asleep during the second one and skipped the third altogether.

    I literally died when you discussed ghost bathroom etiquette. That was hilarious, and then Star Wars??? My Want has returned. I got my Wantjo back. And I want to watch the Star Wars Trilogy again.

    If I didnt have to work for effing nine hours whilst wearing a suit and heels this Sunday, I’d tell you to make some popcorn and save a spot for me on the couch for 7 hours.

    Though after today’s post, I can think of other things to fill the time….

    LIGHT SABER FIGHT!!

    Hell yeah! You may have the height on me, KSWI Jordan, but I’m pretty sure I could take you down in a light saber battle. Darth Vader is Luke’s father, but I will be saying Who’s Your Daddy all over that shizz.

    Then we could fuck.

    Too bad I’m working this Sunday.

  3. HeyyyBrother said

    DUDE. BATHROOM GHOSTS. I just made a joke about that to a coworker on Monday. We have sensor toilets and sinks here, both of which have minds of their own. It’s effing bizarre when the automatic flusher goes off when you’re the only one in there. Especially considering that sometimes it doesn’t even go off on your own toilet when you’re done with your own business. There have been times where I stand there waving at the toilet like a goddamn idiot just trying to figure out what the hell it’s waiting for. If you’re trying to get me to dance like a monkey, toilet, it’s not going to happen. I can still push a button and force you to work.

    Just curious: are you trying to find the point at which we’ll cry uncle and ask you to stop talking about your bathroom habits? Because I’ll be honest… it’s going to be difficult. Tiff and I are self-confessed fart joke afficianados. And your bathroom-related posts are usually the ones that make me laugh to the point where my eyes water. Truthfully, today’s formaldehyde/cats scenario did give me pause, but only for like a millisecond. I then cackled in appreciation, and my boss sighed. It must be fun being my cube-neighbor.

    If you need someone to go see Law Abiding Citizen in a drunken stupor with, just let me know. Of course we’ll be seeing it for different reasons… mine being that Gerard Butler gets nekkid in it. At least I hope we’d be seeing it for different reasons.

    I’ll stop harrassing you about your appreciation of hot children with Wanting abilities if you’ll lay off me on the Star Wars stuff. I GET IT. I know I need to see them. I just haven’t YET. I will one of these days. But I know myself, and I know that I would not enjoy them on my own. I need to see them with someone who has a rabid appreciation of them. But Leia is pretty hot in that bikini…

    One more thing: I WANT YOUR DOG. That’s not a sexual innuendo of any sort. Unless you want it to be… But I just really want that dog.

    • zees84 said

      You really need to see The Holy Trilogy, because if you refer to C-3PO as “that gold British robot” in a public forum such as KSWI, as opposed to a g-chat, well KSWI Jordan’s head might explode.

      True story….but I still love you in a mostly platonic way.

      P.S. I received permission from HB to out her on this matter.

      • tiffanized said

        I need in on these g-chats. We should probably coordinate our comments for KSWI in advance anyway.

      • HeyyyBrother said

        Now hold on just a minute, Zees. At least I knew he was British… I gotta get SOME points for that?

        Tiff, you’re welcome to join me in g-chat any day. Just in case you need like a 6th online venue in which I harass you.

  4. tiffanized said

    I have no faith in automatic toilets–I always have to push the little black button for a manual flush. Someone else usually has to provoke automatic faucets and paper towel dispensers for me too. I must have infrared reflective skin or something, because automatic bathroom fixtures can never sense me. Maybe I’m a ghost? Maybe I’m a cylon? I just know it’s a sad thing to be a grown woman in a public restroom waiting for someone to help me turn on the faucet.

    I, too, would like to see Gonzo take down an AT-AT. Seriously, in case you know someone who can make that happen.

    • zees84 said

      Tiff– Have sex in front of a mirror…that should answer any cylon questions you may have.

      • tiffanized said

        I don’t know what good it would do me to know definitively that I was a cylon. I’d still need help turning on the GD faucets.

      • HeyyyBrother said

        Aside from the beneficial side effect of sex, you have a point… Maybe I’ll forgo Ice Cube as my bathroom buddy and we can pair up? You can keep an eye out for anaconda’s on the loose, and I’ll get the faucets for you. I hope you’re anaconda wrestling skills are up to par… because it seems like you would definitely get the shaft in this partnership (twss).

      • tiffanized said

        I do have snake experience. I’m not being facetious, though my snake skills have been limited to small, non-squeezy snakes to this point.

      • campbelld said

        You want Ice Cube about. He will swarm on any motherfucker in a skanes uniform, you know. Which is handy. For many situations. Ok, mainly threatening snake based situations.

  5. Amy D said

    Fantastic post today, you have opened up a whole water cooler discussion on the probability of Ewoks having lice and other “bies”.

    While the bathroom ghost is amusing (I agree w/ heyyybrother that the formaldehyde/cat senerio is coffee out the nose worthy, and really who hasn’t been there before??), I did find your omission of Steeler news a bit disturbing. No mention of your feelings towards Aaron Smith being out for the rest of the season?? We look to you to form our football opinions and now are seriously defunct in this arena. Please rectify in your next post.

    If I ever: A) Win the lottery or B) Decide to finally go postal, I have designs on a particular toilet stall at the Denver Airport. I am going to smash that evil thing into oblivion.

    When I was pregnant I was very, very, very, very (keep adding verys in your head) nauseated all the time. I had to take a 6:00 a.m. flight, clutching a bag of Saltines the whole time. During pre-boarding I realize I can’t wait anymore, I have to go barf before the plane takes off. I roll my little suitcase into the bathroom and into a stall. Why do those stupid doors open inward? I cram the suitcase in with me and start tossing my cookies for the fourth time since waking up. I’m on my knees wishing I had the Ebola virus instead of a baby inside me, and then the evil infrared eye starts fucking with me.

    The motion of my head in front of the seat starts the auto-flushing. I raise my head in alarm, it flushes again. Every infinitesimal head movement initiates another flush. I’m getting sprayed in the face like I’m under fucking El Capitan, trying to scramble to my feet. The multiple flushes are too much for the toilet to handle and it starts to overflow. Now water is creeping perilously closer to the rim and I’m frantically attempting to get the door open inward around my luggage and get the hell OUT before the waterfall starts. I hate that effing stall to this day.

    • HeyyyBrother said

      You poor, poor woman. One time I got sick at a bar (stop judging me right now, damn it), and I thanked my lucky stars that the toilet wasn’t one of those auto-flushers. If there’s one thing worse than airport toilet splashback, it might be bar toilet splashback…

      When I fly into DEN next month, I’ll be sure to throw a middle finger or two toward the bathroom in your honor.

      • PWG said

        What? You’re coming to Denver for Operation: Find & Drink, you say?

      • HeyyyBrother said

        I wish. I honestly, honestly do.

        I really am going to Denver, but only for a weekend. Three fellow Jersey girls and I will be forcing ourselves upon your lovely city to visit a friend who is throwing a most epic birthday party. So ‘Operation: Drink Yourself Stupid But Be Careful Because The Difference In Elevation Just Might Kick Your Ass’ would be accurate, but I don’t think there will be any finding =(

        Unless you just find me at the bar said party will be at… In which case, GAME ON. Luckily for Jordan, he won’t have to worry about Op:F&B even though we would finally be in each other’s dangerous presence since we’ll be halfway across the country, but a meeting of these sorts could easily lead to future kidnapping plots… You’ve been warned.

      • zees84 said

        I love you HB, I really do, so please don’t get offended when I ask the following:

        Would you please provide me with the dates that Jordan and I will be alone in NJ? I need to send my Princess Lea Gold Bikini to the dry cleaners and would like to have it back in time.

        Thanks.

      • PWG said

        Make sure you lock your car doors while you’re out here. It’s disconcerting to get back to your car and find something like this has snuck in:

    • zees84 said

      As a fellow mom…I may have laughed really hard at that story. It’s only because I’ve been there (carried a bag off an NJTransit bus for disposal at Port Authority…that’s right, I said it. KSWI Jordan, if I have to hear very specific details about your poop, you’re gonna get this once in awhile.) and I understand and love you. Seriously, inward opening doors, “getting sprayed in the face like I’m under fucking El Capitan,” and the fact that you want to destroy the stall are all genius. I don’t plan to be in Denver any time soon, but I’ll kick the next automatic toilet I encounter, all in your honor.

      • PWG said

        Getting sprayed in the face with public toilet water just triggers more horking and head bobbing, which triggers more flushing until you’re caught in a mobius strip of misery.

    • adrastae said

      Thank you, PWG, for adding to the already lengthy list of ideas and stories I like to call “Free Birh Control.”

  8. PWG said

    The 14 paragraphs on Star Wars get no love, Jordan; we can’t get past the toilet story. I imagine this is one of those times when you wish you had other, less juvenile followers. But no, you’re stuck with us.

  9. kt said

    i have a theory. i dont need to watch star wars because i already know everything that happens. i knew exactly what you were talking about all the way through this post and nothing was spoiled in your spoiler filled post because like you said it is probably the most referenced movie(s) of all time. i know who all the characters are, what they do, what they look like and alot of what they say and i pretty much know the context of all the quotes. i cant have some debate on the merits of watching the movies in chronological order to the story or in order of their theatrical release, but i can discuss about how cute ewoks are (very), whether one should wear undies with their slave princesss leia costume (they make nude colored ones for a reason) and make darth vader impersonations (im good at deep and breathy).

    anyways, there is no intrigue or surprising plot climaxes. and i really like climaxes. i guess i kinda feel like its already ruined. its like when my friend told me bruce willis was a ghost before i saw the sixth sense. kiiiiinda ruined it and it then took me like 3 years to watch it because i just didnt have the desire to bother when i already knew the ending and could jump in on any discussion about it. “its so crazy! he was dead and he didnt even know it!!”

    • HeyyyBrother said

      Since I haven’t added any real value to the discussion yet and I’m already 12 comments in… time to actually address Jordan’s post:

      KT has more or less nailed the reason I haven’t seen it yet. I already know what happens. I know all of the twists. There is no fun when there is no climax (twss). That’s why I need to see it with someone who can convey that excitement. Someone who feels passionate about it. Preferably someone who will let me touch their bad places when we get a little bored halfway through.

      Son of a… I can’t even remain on track in a single comment.

      • tiffanized said

        I’ve seen the original Star Wars trilogy many times. You will not get bored, trust. There are many little climaxes you don’t even know about. Especially if you like a young Harrison Ford. Climax, climax, climax.

  10. zees84 said

    I’m also good at deep and breathy …just ask KSWI Jordan.

    I also really like climaxes…just ask KSWI Jordan.

    In any event, you should still see The Three. It’s a rite of passage.

    So, even with my extreme lack of knowledge of all things sports related, I do know that Bo Jackson is known for being a professional in two different sports at the same time: baseball and football. HOWEVER, I really know him from a cartoon in the early 90’s called ProStars.
    It also featured Michael Jordan and Wayne Gretzky. I remember that it was awesome and that cartoon Bo used a tree as a bat in the opening credits.

  14. PWG said

    God, I really feel compelled to comment on something not toilet-related. Jordan, you covered Star Wars so well I’m finding it hard to add anything to that discussion. Other than I hate the ewoks and Jar Jar Binks and really the whole second trilogy which was supposed to be the first trilogy. Even Liam Neeson and Samuel Jackson and Ewan McGregor couldn’t save that mess, what with the shitty scripts and acting and all.

    So, Natalie Portman, I guess. I own V for Vendetta and loved The Professional. You might try Beautiful Girls, she was great in that and it’s a good movie.

  15. zees84 said

    IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS HOLY!!!

    HB asked if she could be a Prefect, which made me think of Ford Prefect, which made me think of

    THE HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY

    That CLEARLY needs to be a part of Alien Week.

    Everyone in those books wanted it…well, probably not Marvin the Paranoid Android…but everyone else did.

    Jesus Christ, KSWI Jordan– If you write about the “Trilogy in Five Parts”….I’ll let you put it anywhere you want.

      Also, also, also Douglas Adam’s estate picked Irish author Eoin Colfer to write another installment of the series. YAY!!! I like Colfer a lot and I can’t think of anyone better.

      • cledbo said

        For anyone who doesn’t know or (like me) didn’t remember why Eoin Colfer is awesome – he wrote the Artemis Fowl books, about the most diabolical child genius ever.

        Vale, Douglas Adams. Thanks for all the fish.

      YES! Absolutely. I think I went a little weak in the knees at the suggestion. Well…I had a physiological response of some sort, at least. *blush*

      Please include HHGTTG. But not the movie version. Good god, not that lame-ass movie version.

      I know where my towel is. I’m ready.

        Agreed. Skipped that movie as well, Heard it sucked. I’ll allow screen caps from the movie as visual aides, but that is all.

        If I feverishly refresh at lunch time tomorrow and find a new post entitled, “Don’t Panic,” well, I just might.

        DON’T PANIC

        If there were ever two words in the English language that would inspire me to panic, it is those two words.

      • Zees84 said

        Tiff, why are we awake?

      • HeyyyBrother said

        “DON’T PANIC” probably comes second to “HOMICIDAL CLOWNS” for me…

    I was just reminded of something… If only this wasn’t all lies: http://actionfigurecanada.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/ad.jpg

    Now THAT should be made into a movie. COME ON! Space Bluth’s? It would be like Spaceballs but, dare I say, BETTER? We already know George Michael has mad light saber skills, and there’s the underlying incest plot line…

    Tiff (if you’re still around somewhere), you may be the only other person who could appreciate this.

      oh amazing. No, don’t worry, I gets it. I am madcrazy for AD and have been forcing it on all my friends, which is a little like teaching them that ice cream exists and tastes good. We never had it on TV here in Aus (well, not that I noticed; they might have shown S3 at some ungodly hour), but it’s still got a huge following. It’s become a little like Firefly for me; whenever I see any of the actors anywhere I get really excited.
      P.S Alia Shawkat was great in Whip It.

      • “which is a little like teaching them that ice cream exists and tastes good” – that is beyond perfect.

        I’ve forced it on many a friend as well, but no one has any regrets. It’s like my own little pyramid scheme – I tell two people, who each tell two people, who then tell another two people, etc etc. I own all of the seasons on dvd, but it’s rare that they’re all actually in my possession at once because I’m constantly lending them out. I’m proud of my hard work. I should earn commission on this shit.

        I like you even more now, campbelld.

      • campbelld said

        I do have one friend who hated it, but his favourite show is Two and A Half Men.
        We are not allowed to talk about TV anymore.

    • tiffanized said

      Can you imagine? Credits rolling to “The Final Countdown”. Blowing up the banana stand instead of the Death Star. Wookiees in cut-offs. Lando Calrissian (played by Franklin) handing over the keys of the Millennium Falcon to GOB Solo, saying, “Watch out for hop-ons. You’re gonna get hop-ons.”

      • campbelld said

        I could certainly see Franklin Calrissian.
        “It’s not easy being brown, it’s not easy ruling Cloud City”
        But I would perhaps prefer it if Lando was Carl Wethers.
        “They got here, just in time to see me put a stew on.”
        “I don’t know what that means, but it sounds disgusting!”

      • HeyyyBrother said

        Oh Christ. Now I really need to see Star Wars so I can fully appreciate these jokes in all their nerdy AD glory.

        At least I can appreciate the irony of Oscar, Buster’s uncle but also sort of enemy, revealing his “Pop Secret” — there are more similarities than I can even think of.

    So I’ve gathered from the comments that most of your readers have a vag. I too have one. So really we’re gay with we agree. Just saying.

    There are photos of Ashley Green eating frozen yogurt. Well, I think she just has it in her hand, but you know she’s eating it. Unfortunately she’s eating it in ridiculously trashy outfit of see-through over-sized sweater and black leopard print leggings. But she’s still eating fro-yo, which is almost ice cream.

    Lastly, I had a stuffed life-sized Ewok when I was a kid. It was cute and cuddly and he protected me from the monsters under my bed. Sadly, I thought tying him to a string to my 10-speed Huffy and riding as fast as I could around my future high school’s running track so that our ex-racer Greyhound could sprint after me and kill the Ewok was a good idea. It looked fucking cool though.

    No, “A New Hope” is the best Star Wars movie, followed by “Empire”, followed by the last prequel where Anakin gets his limbs melted, followed by “Return” and the stoopid Ewoks (they recycled the Jawa voices for those upright guinea pigs) and followed by the other two prequels.

    From “A Martian Sends a Postcard Home,” by Craig Raine:

    Only the young are allowed to suffer
    openly. Adults go to a punishment room

    with water but nothing to eat.
    They lock the door and suffer the noises

    alone. No one is exempt
    and everyone’s pain has a different smell.

    I always miss the big comment discussions. I really better change my day so I get in on it.
    I love Star Wars so much it hurts sometimes. But in a good way, not in like an obsessive nerdy way. Like Star Wars is a particular type of food-if it’s on offer, I am always going to eat it over other things. I am talking about real Star Wars here, not the prequels. Also my 11 year old cousin watched the Star Wars movies last weekend, as a birthday present. My older cousin and I have been having tonnes of fun having lightsaber battles with him.
    Life, is good.
