Release your inner dork. Even the President does it.
They grow old, girls, but never up. [sigh]

Awesome pic.
Seen better
All the way home?
I am glad you have seen better pics. I think we can all agree this isn’t the best picture ever taken, but that doesn’t make it less awesome.
You mean boring?
Or staged?
I mean “awesome”. President with a lightsaber is full of WIN. Sorry any photo of him wouln’t have met your approval, but I would have even thought a photo of any other presidents with a lightsaber would be awesome. I guess fun is only fun if Obama is not having it? God knows we saw enough Bush at the dynasty ranch.
That’s why it’s awesome; he’s managing to have fun with a kid’s toy, and still look more like a major political figure than John Major ever did.
Yeah, but how does he have a light sabre if he has two daughters?
you rather him playing with my lil ponies on white house lawn?
As long as he can stab them with the light sabre.
no no no, you lop off the limbs of creatures with lightsabers, disarming them (zing) so you can arrest them later…and need for handcuffs
oh i forgot, it’s the unicorns that you want to stab, then cut their horns off and pretend they are dead ponies.
My son’s “girlfriend” has been raised with a major obsessive Star Wars geek and she’s pretty much been “indoctrinated” into it. Which makes her and my son a perfect match. I swear, if they have a Star Wars themed wedding…
It would be AWESOME!
I can just picture my wife dressed up as Queen Amidala or something. Which would never happen in a million years.
But she was hot.
Queen Amidala or my wife? Because you’d be right on the second account. Not a big fan of Natalie though.
*I* think Natalie is hot. I’ve never seen your wife. Oh wait, yes I have, but those pictures made me sad. Now I am sad. But your wife is a pretty lady.
What were we talking about?
Natalie IS hot. You’re correct charro.
3rded.
you mean girls can’t play starwars?
So girls can’t like star wars? Sorry, I invaded the fanbase, too.
proof you never spent time with any little girls ever. i still have my light-sabers my sister and i got when we were 6!
-gasp- annie your not screaming bout how obama man was born in kanya and should not be playing with lightsabers?
duh! because lightsabers kick ass, girls can totally play with them too
LOL
awesome
here’s to having a president who doesn’t look like he has a foot in the grave
Dorky yet awesome WIN
It would be awesome, if there were not so many of the ahwwwwwwwwwwww type photos being put out. Even your favorite pizza gets old after the 10,000th slice. Staged is staged. KFC will never be better than Momma’s chicken.
How many photos of a president with a lightsaber have you seen? Its my first. So… its still awesome. Now if I see him with a lightsaber in every pic for a few weeks, it will still be awesome, but at least I will see where you are coming from.
And I love Momma’s chicken.
I bet you only eat the left wing.
Policy?
Of the chicken.
It’s not the lightsaber, but rather the ahwwwwww that they keep cramming down everyone’s throat. Genuine is fine, but fake is boring. Even Bill Clinton gets tired of bimbos, oh wait. He doesn’t.
Yeah, Momma’s chicken, good. KFC, fake and old. Momma’s was made with love, KFC was made with spit and whatever else some minimum wage worker threw in. But hey, it looks nice…..
I see your point; but, you have to admit, no matter what Obama does, what pictures are taken, what he says from this point forward; at least we can all agree that he WAS right when he said Kanye was a jackass!!
Eating briars by the fence. Pooping elderberries. Oh, I already used that one.
I knew that about Kanye for some time now. He reminds me of the reprobate minds in the Bible. That and the natural brute beast….
Well at least you see the obvious problem with low wage labor and how it leads to inadequate products. If the shareholders of KFC would take a pay cut and pay those workers at the shop more, they might take more pride in their chicken preperation, and therefore make it more comparible to momma’s.
On the other hand, unless you have some more pictures lying around with a President weilding a lightsaber, this pic is still awesome. And it doesn’t look fake or staged. It looks like someone playing with his family. I assume…. you have had experiances like that? Admittingly, you aren’t in the lime light like Obama is, but that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be able to go outside and pretend to be a Jedi every once in a while.
I have plenty of experiences like that. I am a big kid with my children. But I don’t use them to pretend I’m harmless.
Now if we could just get you to see the dangers of Big Govt.
My goal is not big government. My goal is the withering away of the state. Complete difference.
Complete anarchy. *sigh* I bet you are one of those “Down with Capitalists” protesters using Wal Mart sheets…..
Anarchy and withering away are two completely different things. Anarchy is what happens when you just up and dissolve a governenment. Withering away as where you use legistlation to bring the classes closer together so that everyone is effectivly middle class. The “government” then just becomes and organization to regulate trade of goods. Over time ot withers away. No anarchy where I am going.
I don’t mean this rude or sarcastic, but you don’t make sense. Withering away of the state in one reply, big Federal Govt in another……..
Its a process known as withering away of the state. it begins with the socialist overthrow of a current government which is replaced by the dictatorship of the proletariat. (Big government) Over time as the big government is converted from being high paying positions of privilege, to workers wage paying trade distibutors, as well as the elite being regulated so that they are middle class and the workers from the lower class being lifted to a position of middle class, the state (of government) will no longer be necessary and will wither away. Anyway… confusing mouthful I know…. but its a process.
Sorry, but any time there is a big govt, someone will take advantage of it. Your withered govt will get some rain and become that kudzu beside the highways.
I do agree with you there. Someone will take advantage of it. Thats why when it occurs, you have to have the -right- people to make it happen.
You have to have people who stick to the idea of individual freedom, responsibility, and not interfering with the rights of others.
Now to get you to see that minimum wage job might not be so minimum if the corp weren’t stuck with reducing wages to because of the fraud of corp taxes. Corporations do pay taxes, consumers do.
The “corp” isn’t stuck reducing wages. They do it on purpose so that they can maintain a heafty profit for those rich enough to invest at the very top.
But they DON’T pay taxes. Yes, there are some rich at the top, and a lot of poor investors too.
I guess you idea is that no one should be rich, no matter if they earned it or not.
I believe people can earn the right to a fair and even above average living. I do not believe that there is any amount of work that should enable someone to be “rich”. Baseball contacts for millions, movie deals for millions, CEO payoffs in the millions. These things are not “earned”. They are either given or taken. And I know that many Americans feel they have to let the rich stay rich because they have thise warped sense that they too can be rich, and that makes it ok. It also helps Americans ok with the idea that if they are doing better than someone else, its because they earned it and those beneath them are dumb or lazy. Since I think all of the above is false other than some of the middle class earning their middleclassness, then i dismiss the idea of the “millionare” and the “billionare” as being those who have manipulated the money flow to their advantage. I saw that those who have had the money taken from them, sgould fix the glitch in the system, and funnel all their actual hard earned money back away from the born into wealth of so many citizens, or paid celebrities, or those who jjust happen to shoot to unlimited wealth because of an “invention” that should ahve been used to help mankind.
Hitler thought he was the -right people- to make it happen…..
Godwin Godwin GOOOOOOOOODWIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNN!!!11!!11evelenty!!!
KHAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!1
Well, vnv, you were on the right track, but you sort of…warped it. Yes, people who are dishonest and take advantage of others, be they government, CEO’s, cheating welfare recipients, drug dealers or used car salesmen, should be recognized as such and be stripped of any wealth they accumulated through dishonest tactics (or drawn and quartered). But there are people, more than you might think, who honestly earned their wealth without taking advantage of people. You point to “manipulated the money flow to their advantage.” Let’s say, for example, the I invest in a small business. The owner wants my investment, and I agree to give it to him under certain terms. If both parties agree to the terms, how is that manipulative? If we both haggle and negotiate into a deal where we both benefit, that is a deal that can not be considered wrong, since those terms are to the benefit of those involved. All others not involved have no right to that money since they did not take the financial risk.
Now, the obvious exceptions to this are, as is usually the case, people who are dishonest and seek to take advantage of others. If someone enters into a contract that is meant to lull the other party into a trap, then that person does not deserve the money he makes, because his financial risk is just an imaginary facade. We saw this as commonplace with insurance companies with intentionally ambiguous contracts that really do not benefit anyone. You know who else has employed this tactic? The drafters of almost any bill that has passed through congress in the last two decades (a kind estimate). The real problem is that our congress is filled with professional politicians, not thinkers. If we were to elect representatives who weren’t out to pull one over on people by making it so only they know how to interpret law, we would not be in some of the major predicaments. We need more people who think in terms of actual, practical consequences, not talking points.
By the way, I used to be a member of Starfleet, and took tickets for theaters in a Monster Maroon (Star Trek II uniform) when they had Trek movie releases. I know all about releasing the inner dork. Thankfully, I let it all hang out years ago……
Now see? And if that picture was online, i would have most likely called it awesome too.
And I lived it up too. But I wasn’t in the public spotlight trying to make people think I’m Joe Average. I knew I was a dork, and the only thing on my mind was setting the phaser to stun with a certain red head in my charter.
You lost me somewhere. I don’t see how you being a Starfleet cadet is cool, but the president playign with a lightsaber is him trying to sell and image. Seems like they are both innocent fun to me.
One of us was a teenager, one of us was President. One of us was trying to impress the band camp geek, the other trying to fool the nation into thinking he is Joe Average. What do you think of my video?
I haven’t watched the video yet. It will probably have to wait till i get home from work. I don’t know why Obama need to fool anyone. We didn’t vote him in because he was Joe Average. That was the Bush/McCain tactic and it led us to either years of suck, and one hellashiously bad campaign. I think he was elected because of the speaking ability, and his “smarter than Joe Average” ways. I know thats why I voted for him. Because Joe Average has no business in the white house. But if he wants to play with a lightsaber, that makes him even more Joe Above Average to me!
Obama won because Bush was the most liberal conservative in history, other than security. And most Republicans were questionable about Iraq at that.
Add in McCain was/is such a weak candidate. The media orgasam over a man’s skin color instead of judging him by his character. And just for good measure, throw in the fact that Obama is going to pay my mortgage and fill up my gas tank, and you have 4 years of Comrade Kommisar.
I think that if you asked most people who actually voted for Obama, thats not the answer they would give. I think its just the answer the republicans like to give so they can sleep at night.
If you asked them it would be “Hope—-Change——Change——-Hope——–Pay my mortgage——–Free healthcare——Yes we can———–Brains——”
I still get the impression that you are making these things up. I think change and brains are a big part, because we definately need change and we need it from people with brains. But i think you are just making like of a huge portion of the populations thinking process. I mean, Obama won pretty big. Surely you aren’t chalking up that large of a block of the public to only be concerned as what they perceived as free?
Oh, you mean Karl Rove and I plotted and hired Pixar to make that video on Youtube? The one with the woman telling us Obama was going to pay her mortgage?
I don’t know, did you plot and hire the rednecks from Utah that said that Obama was going to allow “the blacks to take over” and that he was a terrorist? Did you hire people to go to rallies and chant kill him? I figured not. But I hope this does go to show that there are idiots on both sides of the fence. You have to skip those people and talk to the majority, which I hope is smarter than both your and my example.
Never said there were not idiots on both sides of the fences. But rather you deny that there IS another side of the fence…..
Oh I see the other side of the fence. It just ain’t greener. In fact, its poluted, filled with poverty, racism, and corporate greed. Stayin’ on my side thanks.
From where most of us sit, your side of the fence is full of sh…..er, poop. With lots of briars and elderberries.
OH MY GOD! Are you two SERIOUS?! This is SO BORING! *throws pie*
Yeah, these two had way too much time on their hands today. I didn’t count all of them, but I think they combined for somewhere near 14,000 posts today. Very prolific.
Cataclysmic and prolific
In the age of super boredom

By shareholders do you mean all the middle class people that have YUM brands Inc. (KFC Parent Company) in their 401k or just the rich ones?
Here is some more information on the company you want to punish for being so bad.
For the past four years, the company has been recognized as one of Fortune Magazine’s “Top 50 Employers for Minorities.” It also has been recognized as one of the “Top 50 Employers for Women” by Fortune, one of the “40 Best Companies for Diversity” by Black Enterprise Magazine for the past two years and one of Black Enterprise’s “30 Hottest Franchises for 2006,” one of the “Corporate 100 Companies Providing Opportunities for Hispanics” by Hispanic Magazine, one of the “Top 50 Corporations for Supplier Diversity” by Hispanic Trends Magazine and by BusinessWeek as one of the “Top 15 Companies for In-Kind Corporate Philanthropy.”
First of all…. “Furtune Magazine”?
Then… top 50? Doesn’t that just about include all the major corporations running around the USA about now? And by shareholders I mean the guys with the majority of the stock that sit on the board collecting money. Not the people frying chicken for 7.50 an hour and have part of their pay deducted to buy stock for their wonderful company.
Individual stockholders only make up 23% of the total stocks available. The rest is held by mutual funds etc
VNV. Here is some more terrible stuff that KFC does.
Since the World Hunger Relief launched in 2007, more than one million of the Company’s employees, franchisees and their families have volunteered more than nine million hours to aid hunger relief efforts in communities worldwide. The effort has raised $36 million for the WFP and other hunger relief organizations and is helping to provide approximately 160 million meals and save the lives of about 4 million people in remote corners of the world, where hunger is the most prevalent.
At the Clinton Global Initiative last year, Yum! Brands pledged to do the following over the next few years: raise and donate at least $80 million to help WFP and others provide 200 million meals for hungry school children in developing countries; donate 20 million hours of hunger relief volunteer service in the communities in which it operates; donate $200 million worth of its prepared food to hunger agencies in the United States and use the Company’s marketing clout to generate awareness of the hunger problem, and convince others to become part of the solution.
Yum! and its brands have been committed to fighting hunger for more than a decade by donating more than $46 million of prepared food annually to the underprivileged in the United States. Since the company went public in 1997, it has donated more than $500 million of its food to hunger relief agencies in the U.S
The gall of those corporate meanies.
Who is doing the volunteering? The people dropping the chicken? or the corporate execs? I wonder how much Yum makes in profit every year? Want to toss those numbers up there for us?
I know. Shame on them. And their chicken just ain’t touching Momma’s home cooked. Oh, my. Now I need a screen for my keyboard. Drooling all over it.
Green beans, mashed taters, cole slaw, corn on the cob, cathead biscuits.
VNV, you are just a jealous fool. Shame on you.
Why am I jealous? I don’t want anything that they have. Was Robin Hood jealous? Not that I am implying that I am Robin Hood, although I would love to be. The point is, just because someone wants to take the money from the rich and give it to the poor doesn’t make then jealous. Sometimes it makes them a hero.
Don’t forget VNV. Most of the people making money from this corporate bad guy are also paying taxes both federal and state that help the poor. You are basically a communist/socialist ass who thinks he is right (or should I say left) about everything. I will not waste anymore time with you. Get rid of all the wealth in this country and see where that gets you. Good luck
Robin Hood? You are demented. Got some sort of God complex yourself.
Psssssst. Robin Hood is fictional. And it’s not your business what other people earn.
And your policy would be? Insults to those who have ideas? Whats that next law that should be passed? Got any plans? Whats world’s number 1 problem?
Oh, no, no. You have all the ideas on how to fix/rule the world. And you are jealous. That wealth you want to spread doesn’t get thrown in the trash. You would benefit from it too.
So you are saying you have no ideas or policy? Any? Just words? Just… a couple of insults? No… actualy plan? Just…. mine is bad yours is better but yours is…..? Not a thing?
Yes, I have ideas. Come to my local school board meeting and I’ll share some of them with you. Or when County Council meets. But you have no business in the voting booth with me.
Give up your childish attempt at painting me as empty minded, or implying that everyone has ideas that they want forced on others.
VNV, your lack of respect for humanity astounds me. If you want to help the poor, it’s probably a bad idea to completely disregard their right to own property.
And btw, justacarolinian, Robin Hood was real, but he didn’t steal from the rich and give to the poor. He stole from the government and gave back to the people who had been wronged. If you just steal from one group and give to another, there really is no point in having a society, since your future is stolen from you and put in the hands of bureaucrats and thieves.
Don’t knock KFC. I luvs me some KFC. *stomach growls*
One of my favorite fialblog fails was the protest against KFC and the guy was standing there eating from a bucket. It cracked me up for days.
Gotta Wannta Needa Hava Getta Bojangles!
John Boy and Billy FTW!!!! I think I’ll change my name…
That’s better!
No, not really. You’re still a fvcktard.
That’s what your mom says about you….
Hiya, fu(kweasel! Your material is getting stale.
All these yanks have NO idea what they’re missing with a good ole Country Ham biscuit and seasoned fries…. good lord.
Or a sweet tater pie….. And for the uninformed, Bojangles make them similar to McDonalds Apple pies. A drive past the bakery where they make them to ship out to other Bojangles. Oh my, what a smell…..
Is it self-deprecating that I AM indeed a yank who just lives in the South? Hmmm….
My family tried that for about 6 months back in 1992 (in Decatur, AL). That did NOT go well.
Huntsville is yuppie town though, even Yanks can get along down there!
FTR, McDonald’s pumpkin pies are one of the most amazing things ever. And they’re coming back soon.
More awesome: he’s making the lightsaber noises.
Agreed. This picture is really cute. And given the reactions of Michelle and the kids, I don’t think it need any captioning.
I dont’ comment on this LOL!
why people keep refering to those two by Ms first lady as the kids, they both clearly have boobs.
since his kids are both pre-pubs…they are also pre-boobs…THOSE ARE NOT HIS KIDS
Michele is actually using the Jedi mind trick on him….
These are not the droids you’re looking for.
Every time I see your nick name, I think of that volley ball scene in Top Gun. LOL.
Got the nickname from swimming teammates in college because I could recite nursery rhymes by heart… somehow it stuck.
i don’t know that one… harumph
The force is strong on this one. He might be…
“The Chosen One”
You mean “The Cheesy One.”
“The Crappy One”?
*snerk*
Laugh it up, Fuzzballs, but the geeks shall inherit the earth.
(I may or may not have my own lightsaber. I can do the sound regardless.)
“The Communist One”?
{peels off another screen protector)
“Now you’ll see the POWER of this fully operational Death Panel…uh…Health Care Plan !!!!”
Someone get me a new box of screen protectors.
” You droids stay here- I have to go appear on Letterman…”
Use the Manifesto Barak, use the Manifesto…
I love the lack of understanding communism described here!
I love the lack of understand HUMOR.
*ing*
I love the misspelling of the president’s name. WTF?
It would be funny, JAC, if it weren’t completely wrong. But why should factual information get in the way of taking a cheap shot at the president?
(And I’m tazing the first person who says “wut abowt busch?”)
(And I’m tazing the first person who says “wut abowt busch?”)
what about bush???
*whispers*
i’ve heard that tasers tickle on a low setting.
Uh, I think you’re confusing “tazer” with something completely different.
Rando, do I HAVE to paste the entire Wiki of Hyperbole again? Sheesh.
I know The Messiah isn’t a Communist, he hasn’t shot 20 million people yet!
(We need to come up with one symbol to let every regular know when we are being sarcastic)
What we have here is a case of guilt by association. Since you’re trading jokes up there with what is know a known troll, my perception of your tone in your jokes is much meaner than I might otherwise have thought.
Plus, I get tired of all the Obama=Communism/Socialism crap. He’s neither of the above. He’s not nearly liberal enough for that.
And really, haven’t we gotten past that whole “Messiah” thing? I mean really.
Naw, I’m rather enjoying it. And he does have an ego complex, like him or not.
Politician=ego, enough said. Anyone who thinks they can run a whole country must have an ego the size of…something very big…I can’t think of an example.
Oh, I won’t deny the President is full of himself. But frankly, I don’t want a POTUS with self-esteem issues.
Its fantastic being from a country where the socialists are the biggest party and the liberals are the opponents, hearing the the more liberal you go the closer you get to socialism
Gives me hope;)
Hey, I have “THE” Lightsaber app on my G1. I love to give the Iphone guys a hard time with it.
Is that from the book of Marx?
Groucho or Harpo?
Lenin… (yes, I know)
Richard.
Gere
No! Richard MARX! Can’t you READ?!
Obama isn’t dorky, Star Wars is now cool.
Star Wars has always been cool. Where the hell have you been?
just took this long for the rest of the world to catch up
Considering the amount of money Star Wars has made, I’d say there are vast amounts of dorks out there. And by default I think that makes it cool.
Whaddaya mean, “now”?
*puts hair in Princess Leia buns*
And the rest of you in the bikini?
Wouldn’t you like to know?
*dresses up like Obi-Wan*
So…I hear I’m your only hope?
Lol McCa- I mean Obie Wan is OLD!
bitter troll is kiinda upset obama man has cheap lightsaber, not fancy force FX lightsaber.
but if he did someone would cry bout gobment waists
You wanna talk about a government waist? Let’s talk about President Taft…
So…
What’s under the robe, Ben?
candy luke…you want a licky stick?
If it’s anything like Yoda had, no thanks…
” Don’t worry Poland! I’ll protect you from missles with my light saber!”. ( cue video of fat guy swinging stick around like light saber on YouTube)
Poland didn’t have a chance either way….
poland never does.. after all, whaddaya expect from a nation who put screen doors on a submarine. they were dooomed!!!
Did you hear about the Polish National Outdoor Ice Hockey Team?
-Drowned in Spring Training.
What makes it so bad is that the French team dove in to save them, but gave up and surrendered.
And we came in and dropped a few A-bombs and then called it freedom!
Is that why the French women have such hairy pits?
Never thought of it that way…
Maybe all that firebombing is why the Japanese aren’t so hairy? (My wife is Japanese, at least half.)
So how would you have ended it? Bombing with Otis Spunkmyer Muffins till they were so full they couldn’t fight?
How would I have ended it? So… for this example… how far back to get I to put myself and still be in charge? Because… if I was in power, it would have never been necessary. We would have stopped fascist advances with the Spanish Civil War. Doubt Hitler would have been so froggy after that. I think the Japanese would have felt the same way.
I guess you would have nuked Hitler then, since we would have had the bomb, you being so all knowing…… either way, stopping it was a serious thing. I tend to think you would have been declaring “Peace in our time.”
Did you have the A-bomb already when Franco did Spain? I don’t know the exact dates when the first bomb was manufactured.
You missed where I said he would of had it because of his great all knowing intelligence.
No, I didn’t miss it, i was just wondering when the first bomb was made. I could’ve googled it up, but I was too lazy.
July 16, 1945 was the first successful test.
No A-bomb when Franco started a military coop with fascists equipment and troops to overthrow a democratically elected goverment. And second, No, I wouldn’t have dropped any a-bomb. But I would have sent backup for the American troops that volunteered to go, instead of trying to ban them from helping. I would have also convinced the rest of Europe that fascism was the enemy, and we could have combined stopped Franco’s takeover. There were a couple of times the Republic could have won. We just refused to help.
So, I guess you think the Atomic bombings were worse than the fire bombings? Or how about the V-1 / V-2?
What about the ear mound? Or Manchuria 1931?
Sir, War is hell. Period. The cost effectiveness of a weapon doesn’t make it any more or less evil. Dead is like pregnant, you either are or are not.
No. I think that letting a war break out over Europe so you can sell guns to both sides and then only jumping in at the end because your “innocence” was attacked is thw worst thing. War is hell, yes. Using war to make profit? Even more hell worthy.
You sir, are demented if you think we waited till 41 to get involved so we could sell weapons. I bet Rev Wright would look at you and say “What?”
I’d go back in time and shoot Marx and Engles. No radical Communists = No radical anti-communists = some 100-million lives saved from BOTH genocidal philosophies.
You know, as Sci-Fi fans, we should take note that VNV’s beliefs have already found their ultimate expression in the Sci-Fi world… there’s a whole culture in Star Trek TNG that completely adheres to Communistic philosophy…
The BORG.
Funny you should say that, because in Star Trek TNG, Starfleet was basically communist. They didn’t believe in money. They weren’t paid. Replicators made it so there was no want, no poverty. The worked solely for self improvement. So in the Star Trek universe… the ultimate hope for Humanity was communist. I am not sure the Borg could be considered any of the isms we have today. Technically the Borg was just 1 entity with multiple personifications. Communists are individual people, just individuals working for common goals. Like the crew of the Enterprise.
Yes, there was money in Star Trek. Many places. That story line changed from time to time. Often referred to as credits.
Individual expression in Communism? But comrade, I don’t want to be shot for not paying party dies!
The Federation bears as much resemblance to Communism (in theory or practice) as I do to Winona Ryder.
That is, absolutely none.
Federation has money (credits.)
The Federation philosphy was “technology unchained,” which is something neither Right nor Left seems to be comfortable with.
But if anybody ever keeps us from achieving that level, it will be the Earth-bound Leftist types, who even now argue that we shouldn’t be spending money (even the pitiful amount we do spend) on developing space while there are social problems and poverty on Earth.
Failing to see, of course, that the main reason that there is no poverty in the Star Trek universe is that its predecessors went all out in the exploration and development of space’s vast resources.
No surprisingly, you are confusing communism with Soviet Russia. And the money in Star Trek was definately not Starfleet. We are still waiting on that policy btw, whenever you are ready. I would love some of this “ideas” hidden behind those pointless insults.
Well hi Wynonna! I had no idea you were here! I seem to remember in First Contact when that lady asked how everything was paid for Picard said “we don’t hve money in the 24th century”. Maybe I was wrong, and god knows I wish I had time to go look through 2 millions fan quotes to find all the episodes dedicated to human greed (capitalism) being replaced.
The only way you could ever have Star Trek-style, or any style, of communism without the oppression that has ALWAYS accompanied it so far is if you eliminate its main flaw, and take steps to ameliorate its secondary flaw:
Flaw 1: Scarce resources. Now, space has infinite resources, or as near as doesn’t matter. You don’t need to fight over energy when you can get all you need from harnessing your sun’s abundant output for the next 5 billion years. You don’t need to fight over mineral wealth whne every asteroid 1km in diameter holds 2 trillion dollars worth of metals, and there are hundreds of thousands of them.
Of course, the second problem with Humanity is that people aren’t angels, they’re PEOPLE. There are only two ways around this: 1 Remove drive, greed, ambition, and all other human attributes that cause conflict differences from the equation – in other words, Be the BORG, or 2: Give your misfits breathing room and other worlds to go to.
So, wynonna, it looks like what you are saying is that all of the old worlds problems were caused by greed an poverty? And they solved it by finding the unlimited resources in space. So what If I were to tell you that if we divided up resources the right way, we wouldn’t even need to explore the vast regions of spce to make it happen?
I’d tell you what I always tell people who give me that argument:
1. Your math is way way wayyy off.
2. But only by decreasing the standard of living for many people. That will never fly. MY way, on the other hand, can give that same outrageous wealth to everybody.
Solve the technological problems first, and the distribution problems will wither away a hgell of a lot faster.
I completely agree that we need to develope our technology. It really is the answer. But… how do we do that in a peaceful direction? Thats the real trick. We are too nusy waring on our puny rock that we will never make it into space.
Maybe somebody actually has to WIN first.
You know, some of us CAN cooperate, we’ve done a fair job with the International Space Station.
It’s just that we’re not currently willing to keep that up. We’ve cut our space budgets to the bone and beyond.
First, they gave the money to the military to win Vietnam. We all know how epicly that failed.
Then they gave the money to the Left to end poverty. Still waiting on that one, too.
I say give the money back to NASA, and to the public sector, use it to build an orbiting solar power station (the first of many.) Once we’re using the sun’s power for electricity, we’ll use much less oil (source of conflict eliminated), pollute less (source of conflict eliminated), and generally be able to tell the Middle East what to go do with itself.
More later… I’ve just been called to a meeting. Big brains.
Please tell me you guys aren’t arguing if a fictional universe is communist or not.
It didn’t seem nearly embarassing a few minutes ago…..
It’s ok, Rando, my head just asploded over all the back and forth that’s going nowhere. So I’m not surprised that the debate transitioned to the fictional. These words come to mind:
I’m in for a KFC run though!
I heard that, Ed! Into the squad car! I can hear the original recipe calling to me already.
We’re rollin’.. they’re hatin’
OH MY GOD! Are you guys SERIOUSLY arguing about Star Trek’s applications in the real world?! I have Star Trek tattoos and even I’M bored! *goes back to throwing pies*
Japanese aren’t hairy? You must be kidding!
I would imagine they are like everyone else, some are, some aren’t. I haven’t seen a lot of naked Japanese women, but the ones I have seen were not all that hairy. Though one looked like she was in the process of birthing a baby gorilla.
exactly, and I’ve seen plenty of those. Hmm, how come, how come might you ask! I’ve got no clue, might I respond!
ok, since we got off topic of polish jokes, i got a serious question.
i heard this joke a ways back and can’t remember all of it: it’s something like if you’re russian when you’re going into the bacthroom and you’re _______ when you come out, what are you when you’re in the bathroom? (the “______” part is what I can never remember)
Actually, I think its from a joke this guy in pub drew on a napkin about a brothel. The guy going in is ‘Russian’, the guy leaving is __”Finnish”__ and the guy in the helicopter hovering over the brothel is “Irish”
When you’re going in, you’re “Russian”, when you’re coming out you’re “Finnish” and while you’re in there, “European”. It was so stupid it made itself a place in my mental Rolodex, and I CAN’T GET IT OUT! *whimper*
Robert Ross, this is not the presidential residence you are looking for.
It looks like he’s making the lightsaber sound with his mouth.
Haha, you’re right, that makes the picture even more awesome
Anyone who can’t have fun with a lightsaber doesn’t know how to have a good time.
Agreed.
That reminds me. I owe my son a lightsaber battle. Fortunately for him, I can’t cut off his hand with a plastic one.
Normally we’d have to photoshop to get a picture like this.
Psheeeewwwwww. Vwooooooooonnn.
(Protecting the Female Wookie and it’s offspring)
What a filthy little troll- your mom needs to whoop your ass good!
Leave him alone. He wrist is sore from circle jerking. In his universe, humor is only funny if it makes fun of the right.
Is that why he only uses his left hand?
HAHAHAHA Whew. He is so open minded his brain fell out.
But thats so easy to do…. its not really even considered humor anymore… its just saying how it is. Most of the time it comes with tears… because of how sad it really is.
You are an ass if you don’t think both the left and the right are worth making fun of. A blind old ass eating briars along the fence.
I make fun of the democrats and the republicans if thats what you mean. I only wish we had a left in this country to make fun of. Both of our parties are two sides of the same right winged coin.
Likewise, but it’s easier to make fun when the others make fun with you, which is partly why I tend towards the liberal most of the time (I have very right-wing views on some issues, but please not Afghanistan, because I said that was a mistake when we first went in).
I think where the line is drawn with most people is that the have a “conservative morality”. They “don’t believe in sleeping around”, or “believe that abortion is last resort”, or “thinks drugs are bad.” That kind of stuff. Tese beliefs aren’t just “right wing” ideals. The only problem is when trying to legislate these things. Many of the main issues confronted by people are those that say “vote for me so I can camke a law that agrees with you” when in reality, no law is even necessary. If someone wants to sleep around, thats their business. Not mine, and although I have a conservative morality, I know I can’t legislate against someone else because thats taking away one of their freedoms. Moral implicatons should be left to individuals and upon individual circumstance, and not just widely rules against.
So if we leave out the morality and stick to the fiscal side of things, I tend not just toward “liberal” but way past it. The caste stystem has been in use on the planet for centuries, and although we have had advances, its always been to help the elites, and only when its second hand to them does it help anyone else. I think the age of “trickle down” economics is at an end, and things must be done, even drastic if necessary, to get things back in order.
Which is one of the reasons I can’t be “pro-democrac” although I like them much more the the republicans. Because I think the system is broken, no amount of voting, or no choice of candidates will ever be good enough. Anything that is produced by a broken machine will also be broken. What we need is a new machine.
The Constitution states the we have the right to replace out Government. I agree with you there. The machine is broken.
The only thing conservative about me is the belief that we should stick with the Constitution, including enumerated powers and such…. If you want the state of Vermont to become the Communist heart of America, GO FOR IT. So long as you don’t impede the rights of others, or force other states to live your way. That way, if one state screws it up, people leave.
Keep the Federal Govt out of as much as is possible.
You can’t make any place be communist. You can only attempt to make them socialist. Communism only exists once the state withers away.
I think that having the states as individuals is great, but I definately believe in a strong federal government, at least while it lasts. I also believe that following one document, or book, or written word as any undenyable truth is foolishness. It leaves too much to interpretation.
And I also believe that once a government has been bought out by business instead of public interest, which ours has, it is up to the people to stand up for themselves and overthrow said government. The time has come for “prosperity” to not simply mean “profit”.
Glad to see you admit that Communism is the final result of Socialism.
Communism is no garuntee, no matter how long you may or may not be socialist.
Neither is anarchy, other than a complete collapse of civil society. Think about the old American west. The link under my name is a video I think you will enjoy!
I’d say “no law because no law is necessary” is libertarian rather than liberal (and legislating personal morality is always in that area).
Eating briars and poopin elderberries. And only on the left side of the pasture.
I think you need to live in another country if you fail to see that America has a left side.
The ole gray mule ain’t what he used to be……
you would have said that about me either way, but I still stand that “left of the right” is not “left enough”
No problem with that. But keep it in YOUR state. If those members of your state get tired of you, they will change as needed. And if you are the next Glorious Leader, then they will tell everyone how well you have run your state.
But as for me, I like this private ownership, I want to be left alone. Let te govt run it’s business, and let me run my own.
Think of it this way. Would you want some Bible thumping “Vote Jesus for president” leader to amend the Constitution and force everyone to become Baptists?
Neither do I. And don’t think it can never happen.
But… the whole Republican party runs on the ticket you said you would avoid. And I don’t plan on limiting the spread of equality to just my state or even my country. When it happens, its going global.
First, I’m no republican. You made that mistake before.
Second, it’s scary this world vision you have. Damn if you ain’t another Hitler/Mussolini/Tojo. Going to cover the 8 corners of the world with “Your” vision of what is correct for everyone.
And no, not everyone of faith is the “Jesus for president” type. Go eat some more briars.
Look at you divert and not answer. No, it’s not scare tactics are us. You have said in more than one reply today how “YOU” have the ultimate answer to ALL the world’s problems, and how the entire WORLD should be run the way YOU want it to be.
And some things ARE bad. But even those things that are bad don’t belong under Federal law, and there is fair debate if they belong under state or local law. The idea is for everyone to be free to pursue happiness, so long as they don’t impede or interfere with the rights of others.
In fact, you are the only one claimin I have all the answers Carolinian, and I have this feeling you are so claiming because in the past it has been a tactic used to simply shut people up. “If I can shout loud enough that this guy thinks he is the only one then i can turn everyone against him.” Its a lower form of tactic, and its not going to work on me. I think that my ideas are just fine. I also think I am not alone in thinking them. I just think that there are less of me spending time writing it here.
And I complete agree that everyone should be able to pursue happiness but the point you are missing is that these corporations -are- infringing on others. The ship over seas for slave wages, they buy off governenments so they can pollute the earth. They constantly research subliminal advertising so that they can advertise directly to our brain. They brag about how cost effective they are, and how poor the government is run when they have to try and regulate to clean up the mess. The idea is to make sure that those powers that start to grow exponetially grow with specific controls so they do not get out of control and only answer to a profit margin.
Shut people up? Like you accusing me of scare tactics?
Dude, go back and read what you wrote today.
The control over ANY company is people, not govt. Govt will always fail you. Always.
You talked about your plan, and how it would take over the world. Just in this thread…..
If by “my plan” you mean my hopes of seeing poverty eliminated and if by “the world” you mean the spread of equality globally then you are right. “People” do not control anything unless they are willing to step forward and control it. We have been controlled for far too long.
And yes, I am accusing you of whatever it is you want to call it when you don’t give any answers to any problems and just say things like “you are the next Glorious Leader” and “think you should rule the world ” and “converted him from his 8 corners of the world vision”. Because although all those things might have been intended to paint me in a bad light, none of them really said anything. So, although I don’t think you are making anyone afraid, you aren’t making any of the problems I am discussing any better. If you wrote a paragraph stating what the top 5 biggest world problems were and how you would fix them, I would read it, comment, and do what I could to add. I certainly would not use your tactics. So… call it what you will…. but… its no way to be constructive.
I mean how you seem to think you are the only one who has the answers to it. Your plan, it being that and all.
Do you know the definition of Utopia?
You keep spouting YOUR plan. That is not me scaring people. Get over it.
All I have said is that we need to stick with the original idea of America. Individual freedom. Not anarchy, but each community taking care of itself and when necessary lending a hand to others. But not by the rule of law.
You admitted things were wrong. Admitting things needed to be fixed. And so the way to do that is in…. keeping the way things were? Thats what got us here. I want to know what you plan to do to make em right! If you were in a position to make some policy, what would it be? Nostalgia of the good ol days that never were doesn’t count. Come on man. Now you have me interested. Name your top five “worlds worst problems” and a sentence or two as to hoe you would fix them? Please… give us something!
*turns the hose on* You two quit fighting! It’s time for dinner!
Calling Michelle Obama a wookiee is “humor?” Well, it’s good to see you back to your original jackass persona, JAC. And the circle jerk comment was totally uncalled for.
Erm *blush* that was a response to something I posted to him yesterday. I’ve apologized. And am now working on a good Jack & Coke buzz.
There’s an LOL from a couple of days ago about Wookies- “OMG! IT”S RACIST AGAINST MICHELLE OBAMA!” Oh, wait- no it wasn’t.
You are an ass. That LOL wasn’t in any way directed toward the first family. THIS is a picture of the first family, AND Wazzit referred to them directly as wookies. Now fu(k off, troll.
I didn’t see where everyone made up further down, so I’ll go ahead and apologize for jumping the gun on JAC. But the whole thread seems pretty vicious overall.
If you have the time for all 14,234 posts, you will see it has been one of those days. And somewhat of a mix up of several of us not catching sarcasm and satire. Me included.
I don’t see Michele as a wookie any different than Rush as Jabba the Hut. Might be more interesting to have them 2 as Leiah and Jabba, but then Oriley would get jealous.
O’Reilly is Boba Fett! Which works because he gets eaten in Return of the Jedi!
Cool. I have NEVER liked him. It took me less than 10 minutes to know that too.
no no no no NO!!! o’reilly is NOT fett! fett no talk and o’rielly never shuts up.
colin powell can be fett…he works for who ever he wants..and you know he can kill you.
O’Reilly is Jar Jar then. Because he can’t be any of the other talkative characters. That would ruin it for me.
Oh, yes, Jar-jar. That works far better.
jar jar works for bitter troll-nods-
Then we’re all in agreement? O’Reilly is Jar Jar? Motion carried. Next on the agenda, Hannity.
bitter troll sees him more like ewok…he says alot but bitter troll cant understand him one bit
Maybe he’s one of the sandpeople.
O’Jar-Jar needs to F*CKING DIE!
*grabs his Tazer of Willfull Incarceration*
Rando… Ready the death panel census room… I’ll be right… back…..
>:-)
But, I like Boba Fett. His backpack’s got jets. He bounty hunts for Jabba Hut to finance his vette.
actually, Fett survived the Sarlacc, by getting it to contract around his jetpack causing an explosion (he ended falling into and escaping from the Sarlacc no less than 3 times!!)

^troll calls you troll.
riiiiiight. because i haven’t been posting here for close to a year and contributing to discussions and everything. whereas you, who have been here for 2 minutes and assume to know everything, are not a troll. right. i’ll be sure to make a note of that.
You have to urinate on trolls to get rid of them…(zip)
*points and laughs*
And we thought Wazzit was a big dick. *guffaws*
so far, 3 people call 2 people trolls, whereas 2 people call 3 people trolls, the 2 people urgently need backup if they don’t wanna be trolls. I volunteer for that task: You 3 people are trolls!
Now it’s 3 against 3!
keith – you’ve thoroughly confused me. but it might be the cold meds too…
however, wazzit is still a raging hemorrhoid on the ass of humanity.
TOS, i just backed you and pittypat up!
i think paws is on our side too. so we might have the upper hand.
and i’m not really sure where brak falls in all of this… he’s usually on what is now “our side” when it comes to bashing trolls.
*snerk*
Yeah…”Wazzit”…now we get it…heeheee
brak and are are laughing at the dickless wazzit wonder, if that clears anything up for ya …
Well, Shortright, you let me in on the boobage once, so whatever side you’re on, I’m in!
Is this where we ALL get to be trolls?
where does brak fall in all of this?
*for you, shortie. *groans*
fuzzy wazzit wazza sock
fuzzy wazzit had no co(k
fuzzy wazzit wazzn’t very worthrespondingtooatall wazzee?
LOL! Pitty, that is great classic noir dialogue! I heard it in a Bogey voice.
The first one, I meant.
pitty… i love you more and more. fuzzywazzit… love it.
brak – it’s amazing what a little boobage will do to a man (i’m guessing you’re a man……? or a butch woman).
You don’t have to be a man or even a butch woman to appreciate boobage.
True! Still, it’d be a shocker to found out I’ve been having all this great punsex with a woman … Hmm, not that that’s a bad thing, nope. *muses over the multientendrenaires*
Love right back to you, shortstuff!
But I’m pretty sure brak’s a man, all right. And not the low karb version, either!
“It’s so gargantuan that I canna’ get it off the ground!”
What, your ego?
No, his caveman club.
Captain CAVEMAAAAAAAANNNN!!!
I like to think I’m a butch man.
But definitely male…so no worries Pitty. Now back to our game of Prisoner-and-the-Warden’s-Wife….woohooo!
And yes, Short, it’s true. We are all virtually powerless when faced with such a balcony. Use your pwer wisely!
Arrg….POWER! See what I mean?
I’m still wondering why in the world trolls like Wazzit and Cyan Eyed think calling regulars, trolls, will somehow make them more credible? I mean really, are these guys that stupid or is it all charade?
I don’t understand the point of trolling to begin with. That’s a psych class all on its own.
i am powerless and nobody…wait i can go online and be a GOD by being a jerk on the internet..it makes up for my personal short comeings that im so ashamed of !!
the mind of a troll…not the bitter kind
That’s good to know Brak, but I was just making a general statement. Sort of. I know many a’ straight woman who enjoys the boobage. ^_^
Oh great. Another infestation. Why do you trolls think you can post here a couple times and act like you run the place?
It’s called entitlements.. some people think they have them when in fact they should just cease to exist.
*throws grenade at trolls*
C’mon, Ed, we’re off to the diner to get a helpful tip from Helen.
Helen’s a leeetle hung over today. (But feeling better than she did first thing this morning.)
*saunters by in tight skirt and shirt*
Awesomeness!
I love this job.
It was just a Star Wars joke. I think you are implying too much. Maybe I missed something, but it didn’t come across to me as anything more than a joke.
it seemed like there was more to it to me as well. and i’m not saying that just because i like ivan… i’m saying it because i thought he was being incredibly racist when i read it the first time. however, i don’t know why i’m defending myself and ivan to you, because you think VERY little of ivan and i’m sure will continue to do so no matter what.
Not at all. I think Ivan is fine, just thought he went overboard on this one. To be honest, I took the wookiee thing to be left over from yesterday. I haven’t read a lot of Wazzit, so he may be a racist twit. But in the pure Star Wars sense, I thought it was funny. Not any different than Cheney being Emperor Palpatine or Limbaugh as Jabba the Hutt.
Ah, what the heck, some one give me a thermal detonator!
Trust us, Wazzit is a racist twit.
yar, even if you don’t want to go with the racist approach on that, the use of “it” as opposed to “her” is dehumanizing her (perhaps that’s not the right word, but it’s close), which is pretty insulting in and of itself
One more thing, I’ve seen you around, and although you and I are on opposite sides of the fence, you seem to be moderately respectful when responding to others, and you make reasonable, thoughtful comments. (shortright and I are political opposites, but we are VERY close friends, so you see us disagree, but in the friendliest way. I wouldn’t say anything to hurt her for the world). However, you seem to be associating closely to this Wazzit, and he is already earning a reputation as a nasty, mean little troll. Be careful his bad reputation doesn’t rub off on you. Actually, that’s what my comment on the other thread was implying…that you are becoming a troll by association for agreeing with his nasty comments. I was feeling a bit pissy yesterday, so it came off meaner than I intended. I apologize for that.
if we’re such close friends you should join the PK facebook group so we can stalk each other in real life!
but as for the rest of it – i totally agree. siding with someone (even if it’s only for a moment) who is showing themselves to be a giant ass will tarnish your reputation round these parts. we’ve had some good debates, justacarolinian, but yesterday and today you’ve seemed a little off kilter.
*sobs* I’m sorry! Elebenty 11 11 111111.
Facebook group?
*sternly*
you BETTER be sorry.
*back to normal, which is only kinda stern*
yep. search for the pk irregulars 2.0 (the 2.0 is important because the original group is borked – you’ll need someone to verify you to get in, but it’s not hard, we just want to keep the trolls out).
FINE! I signed up for the facething, and I requested to join. You’ll know me.
ivan – *tackle hugs* yay! (you’re in…)
No apologies necessary. And I may not be so far on the other side of the pasture as you think, just that the pasture needs a few fences to keep one bull from dominating all us cows.
I think I also mistook you for Igor. My bad.
I’m a contractor, and one of my biggest clients bit the dust, and while they might not die before it’s over, I have had to move on to greener pastures. And that pasture don’t let me in the gate till next Monday, so I have been sitting here all day bored, and may have missed a thing or two.
Let it be known throughout Cheesyland. This Carolina man has no love for racists. I am also of the firm belief (from the Bible) that you can disagree as far as east is to west, and still respect and love a man. Though I will admit that some are testing that doctrine today.
Oh please let me guess? A christian man that believes that some desearve to live wealthy lives while its ok for some to starve? As long as its not in your state right? -Very- christ-like.
VNV, everyone is playing nice over here. how ’bout you go piss in someone else’s corn flakes? haven’t you pissed off justa enough today??
Yeah, Christ believed that. Shows me that you know little of the Bible, or chose to pervert it to your fantasy sim city world.
You don’t work, you don’t eat. Look it up.
Shortright, that man couldn’t piss me off if his life depended on it. In the oh so elegant words of Forrest Gump, stupid is as stupid does.
I choose not to empower people like him to insult me. Yeah, they can be noisy at times, but so are farts.
shortround, I have no yet begun to piss in your corn flakes, and if I have, then eat em up good buddie! yummy!
i don’t eat cornflakes. good effort though. *2 thumbs up to VNV*
however, trying to demean me by calling me the name of one of indiana jones’ best sidekicks is actually pretty funny. shortround was awesome.
Well good then. Because I happen to love me some Indiana Jones, so … it really wasn’t as hurtful as one might think. And the only reason I brought up corn flakes is because you did. And I didn’t know I pissed off that many people today? JustaCarolinian. lol! And really? Does that count? Isn’t it still like 1962 there? (the part about the year was a joke. my family is from GA, where its still 1952)
Ah- the old too-often-played=race=card! To borrow Justa’s comment- even Reverend Wright is looking at you and saying “Nigga, Please!”. What a pathetic little masturbating twit you are Ivan.
Oh we should be so lucky!
Notice how he’s trying to draw Justacarolinian back into his thrall. Keeps quoting him and such. Just sad. Hopefully Justa is too smart (and civilized) for that.
Heh. So tell us more about what you think about black people, Wazzit. You have my attention.
i could do to hear more about this random fellow. what’s the story there?
wallFly – random was a troll who had obviously been reading the site for a while. he knew information about rando and bitter troll’s lives… things that were quite painful and personal to them. when he got into arguments with them he’d just throw those sorts of things into the argument in order to hurt touchy spots. he fought with EVERYONE on the site, not just the regulars. he was rude, he was crude, he was probably the one person that EVERYONE agreed was a troll and needed to go away.
after about 3 days of him being a total ass to people and frankly being WAY over the line his posts just disappeared. people have been banned before (their IP is no longer allowed to comment) but we hadn’t seen comments completely removed by the admins. what we found looking back through the LOLs from the time he was around… everything about him was removed. not just the rude and crude stuff. everything.
this was probably about 6 weeks ago.
thanks original – didn’t know the admin’s could/would do that.
i’m guessing he was here when i was, just must have (fortunately it sounds) missed him
I’m starting to wonder if Random found a way around it and is looking to bug us again.
rando – i was wondering that too… made me a bit unhappy.
Yah, not falling for that. And that wasn’t the context I was using earlier.
Ivan, I have some water ballons and a pickup, how about we do a drive by? And if it gets serious, we can rely on BT with the .50 in the back.
where there’s an internet, there’s a way
bitter troll will use his bitter chainsaw-nods-
Can we use the recoil on the .50 for propulsion? GET SOME…GET SOME…..
How can you shoot women and children? Easy, you just don’t lead them as far….
Ivan and Rando are obviously racists. I bet you were against Sotomayor, wern’t you?
Actually no. I supported her. Can someone PLEASE show me ANY statement either of us made to deserve this troll calling us racist? Come on, put up or shut up. If you can’t prove your accusations, you are a troll.
Actually, Ivan. It’s true. I’m…I’m so ashamed of my racism. You see, I hate white people. A lot. Fvckin’ crackers. *shakes fist at the sky*
Let me help you figure this out. When you imply that the first family are “wookies” you are the one trying to insinuate that they are animals. When I read your snarky little racist haha, I infer what you’re saying, ie that the Obama women are animals. So to reiterate; imply – what the statement maker does, infer – what the reader does.
I hate having to school these children. Next thing you know, one of them will try to use the word “irregardless”. *shudder*
And to be crystal clear, the “you” I am using is the general, generic “you”, not the specific “you”.
I’m going for a Jack & Coke. Anyone want to come along?
hell ya, been a slow day, but i’m more in the mood for a screwdriver
I could use a shot or 12 of Jack.
By 12 it’s more like, I could use a shot or “wtf number am I on? Eleventy?? That’s good. Evelenty.”
I dunno.. you are talking to a girl who once drank a half a gallon of Jack by herself..
This was my point yesterday. I COMPLETELY agree with what you are saying, and for all I know maybe that guy was being racist, but if the thought that he was being racist never came into his mind then he really was making an innocent, albeit irresponsible joke.
I say that cause that’s what happened to me yesterday, and I”m trying to make up for it, cause I like you guys. I don’t want everyone to be hating.
We can all be hating. We can all be hating Wazzit.
Sorry, douchebags- I’m half Cuban and half white. ( and no, my parents names are not Lucy and Ricky). So that nullifies your “racist ” diatribe. Like good little liberals, you cannot concieve of ANYONE not kissing Obamas rear end, so therefore I must be fake. Just like calling protestors “astroturf”, etc… As for removing people, isn’t that called censorship? A favorite tool of the Left? Hate that First Amendment, don’t you?
your half a cigar?
I could dig what you’re saying if it WAS only Liberals hating you. But the Conservatives are hating you too because you’ve behaved like such a perfect ass. It’s bipartisan hatred, you fu(kweasel!
First Amendment doesn’t apply ? Where are you at, pencildick, Russia?
in soviat russia dick pencils YOU
It’s their website. By using their site you agree to their rules. They can remove what they want to remove and you can’t do anything about it. You also can’t use some swear words without being moderated. So no, First Amendment doesn’t apply, Randomness, uh, I mean Wazzit.
This is a website, fu(kweasel, not a newspaper. You just love projecting your hatred, doncha?
Yah, I am experiencing an oft infirmity. My Dad introduced me to Crown Royal a few weeks ago. I do think a Coke and Crown will do nicely just before bed.
if you’ve only just learned of crown, please tell me you’re 18.
(i know you’re older than that but my inner alcoholic is so sad for you that you went so many years without experiencing crown.)
Yes my lovely one. Crown is good, smooth like your sweet round bottom. But for a rough day, nothing sands the edges off like Jack.
jack is my preferred. back in my college days (not so long ago really) i could kill a fifth on a regular night. triple jack and sours were what i had with dinner… then i’d really start drinking.
the fact that i’ve still got a liver is a bit surprising actually.
I went years without so much as a drop. Just didn’t have the urge. Finally I got the taste in my mouth for a Michelobe Light, and went and got some. Then went several more years, and started with Red wine to help inherited acid reflux. I grew up partly in Germany, familiar with wine and schnaups, and have tried Crown before. But it had been a long time. I like that smokey/maple taste it leaves behind. Straight or mixed. Just in controlled amounts for me.
sign me up for a double jack and sour with just a LITTLE splash of grenadine.
Oh hell yeah. I luvs me some Jack & Coke.
Ditto!!!!!!!!!! Hey…Rando and I agree on something once again
)
jack and coke?
why not juan and coke?
Clearly your all racist!
*Peels another screen off.*
*pokes BT with a cattle prod* Don’t harsh my mellow.
Moo
BT, I have played Tradewinds legends one time to many. You said “Moo,” and my first thought was Davkir the monk. LOL. Whew. Am I the only one who knows who I am talking about?
yes….i mean…moo
Does that mean you play Tradewinds or not? LOL
MOO!!!!
no bitter troll has never played it
Oh, and it wasn’t meant snarky, but rather that I was laughing pretty good. I totally got it as Star Wars and nothing else. I really don’t hang out with any racists, and don’t have that mindset, so sometimes I miss things like that.
No more racist than calling them Droids later- I’m shocked you didn’t call that racist either, you pathetic racist troll.
nesting fail- aimed at Ivan- sorry Justa
Actually, I didn’t see that, but whatever. Droids aren’t animals. So tell me why I’M racist?
yeah, i’m at a loss here. droids are robots. i’d think more people would compare bush to a droid considering the whole “omg boosh iz chaney’s pupet!” crap that went around for years and years.
I thought Bush was Darth Sidious under Palpatine’s control.
See, now I’m really mixed up. Maybe Troi can help me.
darth sidious was palpatine.. but comparing bush to vader would be a heinous crime indeed.
maybe bush is… i have no idea. i like the other sith lords too much to compare them to bush.
Ok wall fly, sorry. I get them mixed up. The newest movies just didn’t have the magic of the original, and I didn’t keep up with the details as much. Or maybe I’m just getting older…… Nah, the movies were ruined by that kid…..
very simple bush is annie skywalker guy…thinks he is doing the right thing and for the right reasons, but in the end really leads everyone straight into hell…
Good call BT. And you nailed it. Using that .50 in the back of my truck has improved your aim.
Hmm, i disagree with you Ivan (even if I don’t agree with Wazzit) people are animals, that’s for sure. And I don’t see why calling someone an animal is more/less racist than calling someone a robot? Both aren’t racist.
Generally speaking, people are animals yes. I’m not so sure about trolls who spend 5 minutes on here and start insulting regular posters left, right and centre though.
So… Trolls are plants?
Possibly in more than one way.
No, trolls are fictional creatures.
Don’t tell bitter troll that. It’ll hurt his feelings.
ok , bitter troll knows he was imagined to life by a young succulant fat kid…..then bitter troll ate him.
Hey, Bitter. Does someone water you every day, or are you more like a cactus? We don’t see very many talking plants around here…
FYI Wazzit, my mother died 2 years ago.
Did I miss something? If he insulted your mother just for disagreeing on here, I’m all for a real life drive by.
Said my mother needed to “whoop” my “ass”.
Well, she shoulda done it more! Stop playing the Victim card now- and both of my parents are dead. So quit your whining and put your big boy underwear on- and don’t make asshat comments if you can’t take the criticism!
Answer the question. Why am I a racist? Show me my racist comments. Come on, fu(kweasel.
Who said he was playing the victim card? He was merely stating a fact. His mother can’t whoop his ass. Geez, aren’t you touchy? And again, why should we believe a troll about anything he says about his life?
Because he’s half cuban and half mexican… or was it white… no it was Kenyan! Yeah! That’s ticket therefore he CAN’T be a communist! Or something… I dunno I don’t the Chronicles of Retardick.
That’s it! Wazzit is a Kenyan! Just like Obama, right?
you will run like a kanyan!!
KANYANS!!!!
POWERTHIRST!!!
Ah….Wazzit is still trying to compensate for the fact that we were all laughing when he dropped his drawers. Where do you think all the hostility comes from? Wazzit duzzint hazzit!
Answer the question, fu(kweasel. Oh, you can’t I see, so I guess that makes you a TROLL.
zombie mom’s spank even harder…
*lightening the mood, maybe*
And then eat your brains.. I don’t want a zombie mom (I don’t think I have to worry though, mine was cremated.)
Nah, they just chew your ass, really!
OMG, Dead Alive flashback. Ew, that movie was nasty. I hated that movie. HATED. IT.
Are Star Wars fans dorks or geeks? Or nerds?
All of the above?
depends on if they’re rebel alliance or empire
According to Ivan, they’re all racists!
poor Wazzit. how does that even fit in here?
i’m not gonna get into any past bickering since i didn’t read the post in question (and don’t feel like looking it up). but, ivan’s been here since before me and he’s usually pretty much in the right. just sayin, you got a hole to dig yourself out of.
Not so, douchnozzle. Just you.
Why are you here again?
i’m here to drink screwdrivers and eat chicken wings… and i’m all out of chicken wings
(i’m post happy today, just ignore me – it’s incredibly dull at work)
Sounds like a good place to be!
could be worse! for most of this i’ve just been doing the equivalent of pulling up a lawn chair and watching the excitement. ‘cept for that really geeky stuff down below. i love that.
Nothing says riveting like refreshing PK over and over!
Or keeping your name in the “find” box and scanning down to find the goods. LOL
That is the reason I have the Avatar I have. Easy to spot in the crowd.
None of the above. They just like good movies.
Star TREK fans are all of the above.
WIN!
We all knew Obama was a a Jedi. That is part of the reason we voted for him!
More like Darth Maul……..
Would be an improvement…..
I so wish I could see him doing one of those crazy front slips and lopping someone belonging to the Bush dynasty in half. Anyone, really. Wouldn’t matter.
That’s ok. He failed…….to.
Make that *too* 2 years with this laptop, and I can’t type on it worth a poot. My next one will have a real keyboard. *sigh*
Thought you were against violence?
Not CGI, scifi movie violence. I make exceptions for things that aren’t in real life.
What’s wrong with violence?
It usually causes more problems than it solves.
No way! Violence is a primum mobile of mankind.
I would rather move slowly, and violence free. And I still believe it causes more problems than it solves.
But it’s inevitable, so best thing to do is to perfection it!
ok, violence usually begets violence, but you gotta admit, sometimes it sovles some things pretty qucik. just needs to be done right, is all. and, it’s not appropriate in all situations, so it comes down to the circumstance and what the circumstance necessitates for a conclusion that’s to the betterment of.. well.. me.
violence needs no appropriate situations or circumstances, it just IS!
Cool title for an abstract painting: Violence is!
Violence is often only a quick term and temporary solution.
(So, I just agreee with VNV, I guess, as usual. :p )
How can I be the only bad guy if you are agreeing with me Danbala! Geez….
true, often temporary, but then again, everything is. personally, i’m not violent (outside of world of warcraft) and i usually would prefer to find an alternate means to an end than a “kill ‘em all!!” approach but… there’s sometimes where someone means to hurt ya and the only thing left to do is whack em with a stick, ya know?
sorry, i think today i’m just in the ramblin mood, i coulda shortened that to… “yah, you make a good point”
I think violence did a pretty good job in determining, permanently, whether the dominant Mediterranean culture would be Roman or Carthaginian…
whether the Western Hemisphere would remain the playground of European monarchies (See: Bolivar & Washington, among others)…
whether or not Slavery would continue in the Us South, and/or whether the states’ rights had primacy over federal authority…
and whether Fascism would become the dominant European governmental style.
Among other things.
VNV: “How can I be the only bad guy if you are agreeing with me Danbala! Geez….”
Oh! Sorry – didn’t mean to step on your domain! I’ll keep agreeing in silence instead?
You’re right, slaggingham. Trying to work out problems is stoopid. Let’s just kill each other over everything. Geez, do you EVER say anything worthwhile? If not, please continue your joy of violence against yourself. *grumble*
My ideal as far as use of force goes (whether as an individual or a nation) is that we should strive to act comparably to (I’m probably reeeaally dating myself here!) Caine in the Kung Fu tv series or Billy Jack. Try to be nonviolent, don’t start anything, warn people if they try to start something with you or pick on the innocent, but if they don’t desist, you need to be prepared to kick some ass.
Violence is natural, just like war is, nothing wrong with that.
But in your judgment, everyone else is wrong. Who the hell are you to think you should rule the world and choose right and wrong for all of us.
You are worse than the “Jesus for president” types. At least they think someone with a sound mind will come, where as you think YOU are that sound mind.
I never said I was the guy who was going to fix everything. I may be waiting for the same leader as those religious types. I think the sound minds are already here. All over the planet. I think they are thinking and growing. I think those sound minds will one day stand up for what they believe is right. I will, of course, do what I can to help them. But… in your judgement… isn’t everyone who isn’t agreeing with you wrong? I am wrong because of that I think. Obama is wrong for having a light saber. Only you are right when you post a youtube video? I think the people on this website can argue over who is right and wrong until they are blue in the face. I just post ideas. Agree with them or not. I don’t care. But I will do what I can to poke wholes in what i see are bad ideas like “god bless america and no place else”. Its my duty as a good citizen to call it like I see it.
wrong reply VNV
You sure did. You laid out the plan, all about how it would be this way, and with -the right people- in charge. You point out how everyone is wrong, but your vision is right.
And no, not one single person has to agree with me. And thats the beauty of it all. So long as I don’t impede on you, or others, I can be as smart or dumb as I choose.
This conversation has long left Obama’s posing with the saber.
And believe it or not, most people actually want God Bless the World, not just America. Though some of them don’t, and even more think that many need a change first. Gosh, even you think America needs a change before it can be blessed.
I’m not saying that I agree with everything VNV says, but I do agree that violence is not the answer.
@Meowth
Just so you know, I don’t think violence is the answer. But I am wise enough to know that it happens, and if you are the weaker, or without protection, you will be the victim. And sometimes it also requires someone stronger than the original aggressor to root him out. I tell you, I look forward to a world where there will be no violence.
And your the policy you would enstate to ensure that violence does one day go away is…? Anything? Policy….? Changes…? Just one?
How about speaking out against idiots, errr, people who think THEY have all the answers and will fix all the world problems if THEY can create this massive world commune.
Speak out all you want, but know this: Unless somebody does it, it will never get done.
@Meowth. I agree. But speaking is the first place to start. And violence should be the last, but often is not.
What I mean is that if you speak out against every person who has ideas about nonviolent solutions, which you imply is your plan about two or three posts up, you will be speaking out against some people whose plans are good, sound, and likely to work. Of course, one person speaking out against them will not undermine their plans, but it is not likely to help them much, either.
@Meowth. Not speaking out valid solutions at all. Just those who seem to think they have the utopian plan to solve all the world’s problems.
Look at nature: Full of violence.
Look at history: Full of violence.
Look at the Disney Channel: Don’t look at the Disney channel.
Violence is nothing but natural and we’ll never live without it.
Just because violence exists does not mean it is automatically the solution to all problems, especially when there are peaceful alternatives that work a lot better.
Peaceful solutions that work a lot better for whom?
People who don’t have violence done unto them, as a general rule.
…and as long as it’s the better solution for other people, it will never cease to exist. Even our so-called “democracies” can’t change that might equals right for those who possess it or who want to posess it.
Violence is never a better solution. Some people just refuse to see that.
Disagreed! For those who use violence successfully it actually is the better solution: brings more power, more wealth, on a larger scale, more territory, etc etc.
And yet it all falls apart when someone turns that violence against you. Tell me, can it really be a permanent solution when it only works for a very short time?
A very short time? That’s relative.
Europe, the way it now exists, has been built over centuries, mainly on violence.
The United States have been built on violence, from the beginning, by taking the native american’s land, etc etc. History repeats over and over, and it will always involve violence.
Which is why it isn’t the solution. We must learn from our past mistakes and break the cycle of violence. The only way to achieve the goal of breaking the cycle of violence is through nonviolent means. There is no possible way violence could be the answer to that.
There’s people to whom, the “past mistakes” you’re refering to, are not mistakes at all, since they made a profit out of them. Would the US even exist today, without violence?
Without violence, religion, and repression, it wouldn’t have needed to.
Mmmmm Darth Maul…
I thought he was Superman?
Superman is a Jedi? I guess it makes sense…
Wait, Jedi can’t fly! They can jump really far though.
Never underestimate the power of the Force!
Or low gravity. Just sayin’.
Yes, please. Lower it enough for me to Moon Jump.
Or the Matrix….ahaaaaaa.
So, will you take the red lightsaber or the blue lightsaber?
Hah! One for each hand!
So you leave the Matrix and forget about it?
Man, shut up Michelle! Lightsabres are cool at any age!
Looks like he is saying ” Shhh…. I sense a great disturbance in the force.”
One of the secret service agents had a burrito for lunch.
Or CBS did a story about him that wasn’t nice….
Wazzit. We know it’s you. That’s really fvcking sad, dude.
bitter troll now sad sad clown
If he’s willing to change his attitude, let’s give him a shot with the new name. Just so he knows he’s not fooling us.
fool bitter troll once…shame on you
fool bitter troll twice…
….cant be fooled again!
If you douches read the post, he said and showed he was changing his name.Now if only we could get rid of Ivan….
I’ve been here for awhile, douchenozzle. Let’s get rid of YOU, since you seem to be a buddy to Randomness-I mean Wazzit- I mean “whatever his name is now”.
This is one great picture-you go Mr. President!
He has the same type of lightsaber that I do….it lights up, and makes a cool “whrrr” sound…but mine’s red.
Sounds like its time for….. epic square off on the lawn of the White House!!
It’s blue?
You mean you can be president and still have to be a Jedi Apprentice?
Damn.. Those Jedi are strict to let people be a Jedi Knight
He was too old. They like em younglings.
*prepars to show inner geek*
The color of the lightsaber has nothing to do with the skill of the jedi. Obi Wan had a blue lightsaber and he was a Jedi Master. Luke’s was green, and he was an apprentice. Yoda’s was also green, to match his skin of course, yet he was also a master.
Samuel L. Jackson had a purple lightsaber in the new movie. It probably had “Bad Mother-Fu(ker” inscribed on the handle…or should have.
Ready for a real geek responce?
The color actually has to do with the type of crystal used inside the chamber of the hilt. According to KotOR lore, the color of the crystal was often chosen by the type of jedi weilding it. Some jedi’s are better a physical combat, some are better at force powers like force push, and some are better at meditation and seeing the future. Depending on where you focus your abilities, many times dictated what color crystal you would look for to construct your first saber.
So what is the difference between NCC 1701 and 1701A?
Actually not much. 1701-A is more of a refit that anything. Just a technologically upgraded Constitution Class Ship. Its got plenty of kinks to work out to when its out on its maiden voyage. The first Enterprise to really be all that different was the Enterprise B as it was an Excelsior Class ship, which is noted by the elongated warp nacelle. This ship was also the first ship not to have Kirk as its Captain. (Not counting Pike’s Short Run on the first Enterprise.
I’m impressed!
I am well rounded with knowledge of crap either no one cares about, or no one wants to hear. Its sort of like a talent. A lonely talent.
That just makes you the “go to” person when someone has the need for random knowledge. It can be a fun job most of the time! ^_^
I’m inviting you to my next trivia night.
Man, I love trivia night..
Actually, the 1701 was refit in the first film. The 1701A was just a new Constitution class starship christened “Enterprise” when Kirk blew up the original in Star Trek III.
Ding ding ding! We have a winner!
I can’t believe I missed this. *hangs head in shame and gazes spitefully at her Borg tattoo*
I can’t believe the “expert geek” missed it too. Or the jab I made when he missed it.
The correct answer is:
“Star Trek sucks, and no one cares.”
Which of the 3 versions of the NCC-1701? (excluding the 2009 reboot/alternate universe version.) Pilot, Classic series, or ST:The Slow Motion Picture version.
VnV – you’re sort of right depending on what you’re going by. The crystal used did change the color but it wasn’t until the games Knights of the Old Republic that they were associated with Guardian or what not. In the movies, the Jedi weilded blue or green (and one purple one), whereas in the games there were also orange / yello such as with Plo Koon (who had a blue one I think in Episode II).
Not much mention has been said in the books conerning this either (Though I’ve only read the Thrawn Trilogy and the first two books of the new Fate of the Jedi series, Outcast and Omen (Outcast was way better than Omen, btw)).
I’m not sure what’s canon, but my bet would be to go with the movies.
The movies definately get presidence. But its still fun to think about all the posibilities and the “why”. Plus, even in KotOR, if you wanted to change your crystal color you could. So.. in the end… it may just be a fashion statement.
Victor, I can’t, I – I – I can’t stand it any more!!! Please learn to spell definitely.
I know…. its because I have spell chack on my home computer, and I tend to type and move when spelling at work. Sorry! I will try to do better!
Thanks for being so gracious about my peevy peculiarities.
Its mainly because I am intimidated by your cat icon. Looks to hungry for me….
AAARRGHHH *splat*
VNV, if you get Firefox, there’s a built in spell checker that shows you immediately (with a red underline) when you’ve misspelled a word.
I know…. my work computer won’t let me download it… I wish it did…. I hate IE….. *cries*
Hey we found something we can agree on! YAYS! Elebenty!
*sneaks and wet willies VNV*
You know what sickens me? Besides wet fingers in my ears? Is that I really do believe you aren’t as bad as I would love to chalk you up as being. Its unfortunate to not be able to write off anyone. And yes. IE sucks.
Oooooooh, new secret tactic. Pssssst. Hey everyone, plan on one big massive wet willie at 4pm est. But whatever you do, keep it quiet so VNV doesn’t know about it.
DON’T WORRY, WE WON’T TELL VNV WE’RE GONNA GIVE HIM A HUGE WET WILLY AT 3 PM EST!! YOUR SECRET IS SAFE WITH ME!!!!!!
Uh, I might have said that too loud.
He wont hear it unless you speak out of the left side of your mouth.
Apparently “left side of the mouth” is a new insult he is trying out. Just go with it.
Not an insult, but rather a friendly jibe. Kinda like the towel thing in the gym….
OMG, will you guys just do it and get it over with?
THAT is the funniest thing I’ve read all day. Thank you Rando The Magnificent!
what smells like man sex in here?
Your mustache, perhaps?
no thats where the man on cow sex smell comes from…this is different..a smell bitter troll has not smelt since…
Nah, VNV isn’t my type. I like Knockers. If I can’t motorboat, I ain’t interested.
Not really, but it sounds funny. Anyways, I am quite happily married and satisfied with my wife.
And you get Adblocker Plus!
i always like the orange ones
BTW – Victory (and all other dorks/geeks/nerds): if you haven’t already, check out trailers: {http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-09-star-wars/49937}
**”check out this trailer” i meant to say
i can’t type today.. bleh
blargh, i just saw where you referred to it as “According to KotOR lore”
in other words, my prev. post was pure redundency (except for the bit about Omen, author didn’t do a good job sticking with Star Wars lore)
VNV right? *GASP THE HORRORS* Oh, you mean he was correct in saying things about the sabers. For a moment there I though someone had converted him from his 8 corners of the world vision.
Well at least I am not a terrorist secret Muslim baby killer like JustaCarolinian! See? When I use cliche terms for attempted maximum effect, it looks dumb too. Not just when you do it.
But no where have I ever talked about converting to islam, or controlling by terror. But you did talk about your world vision and how you would implement it.
Keep reaching in the dark……
There is is again. You think this is some kind of scial movement of 1? I am just sharing my personal ideas, but I am not the only on that thinks them. You like to pretend I do because if gives you leverage to argue without saying anything.
I don’t need leverage. You have said enough today to tell everyone where you stand.
Some of your ideas are fine. On a local level, or as a personal choice. But not in the federal govt, and certainly not a world govt level.
And the beautiful part is that you are welcome to your opinion. And when you post some carolinian policy, which we haven’t yet seen, then I will tell you what I think about that.
I’ve posted plenty. Let the people rule themselves. Individual freedom. Enumerated Federal powers. Anything not listed is for the States to do.
Something you don’t seem to be familiar with.
But you don’t seem to be saying anything. Freedom! Yeah… Braveheart said that. We get it. States rights! Yeah… we heard that one quite a bit before the Civil War. What I am asking, is how do you think we solve the problems facing the world? You just seem to have concepts that can’t clearly be defined, or you just don’t have any “ideas”.
Are you that ignorant on purpose?
I almost thought you were going to write something substancial there. Oh well..
Well, I don’t know. I stated that I am for the Constitution of the United States of America. That people should be free to pursue life as they choose, so much as that doesn’t interfere with others. I discussed Enumerated Powers, and the 10th Amendment. But you ignore that, and went into accusing me of scare tactics.
But clearly the Constitution of America is up for interpetation. You have stated things need fixing. We are are waiting for the how. Tell us!
See, you are too stupid to understand that it’s not up to me to fix things out of my home state. Let them fix it. That is the policy. If they need help, why we are neighbors, and by our own choice, we may or may not help.
You keep shouting that I have no policy. Some one will sooner or later believe you.
So your answer is “i don’t have to do anything I’ll let them do it.” Oh great. Well I won’t be holding my breath until your bright future arrives. lol!
Wow, lie through your teeth. I have never said do nothing. But rather don’t force my solutions on others.
“it’s not up to me to fix things out of my home state”. To me that says if the world has a problem, “its not up to me to fix things out of my home state” Wow… and here I was thinking I would have to alter the quote at least a little to fit it in there… but you so clearly said that I didn’t have to. And the reason you don’t force your solutions on others is because you don’t have any solutions.
You are literally just trolling me. You saw me post that I liked Obama’s lightsaber pic, you replied to my comment by picking on Obama, and it escalated from there. You have no plan, no resolutions, not any even ideas. You are going to let those in power just do all the decision making for you. As long as it “ain’t in your state.” *sigh* Its people like you, sir, that got us into this mess, and it sad to say that its going to be people like me who are going to wwilling dig your back out of it. In the meantime, why don’t you go to your states website, and quit trolling me with you “i have nothing to say” statements.
I wouldn’t troll you if your life depended on it. I was here before you were this morning. And I have been on here for months now.
And bite me. It’s people like me that keep jerks like you from becoming the next Hitler. What you fail to realize, is that someone one else will think they are helping you, and it will eventually be something you don’t want.
Still got nothing to say but insults I see? Not big on self improvement are we?
I’ve got plenty to say, and I have said it. But since I don’t talk out of the left side of my mouth, you ignore it. And keep saying, I know you are, but what am I.
Why do you two always end up arguing?
Because I stand for for truth, justice and the American Way! And he’s a commie tard.
(note, sarcasm)
Because I stand for for truth, justice and an Equal Way!! And he’s a carolinian tard.
(note, sarcasm)
bitter troll stands for truth, justice and the troll kingdom way!
and i like pie
( note i do like pie…its good )
The Young Jedi series makes mention of types of crystals dictating color, but no where in the ones I’ve read (the first 4) did it say anything about color relating to focus are/skill. I’m not sure how closely the follow canon though considering the series focuses on Han & Leia’s kids and the rest of the younger generation.
Mina, the only place I’ve seen the types of Jedi broken up into Guardian/Sentinel/Consular is in Knights of the Old Republic and I think they did this simply in order to make it more role-playable while maintaining a feel of the class system of D&D (keep in mind Bioware had just come out of the Neverwinter Nights series and I think they were trying to tie in their fantasy RPG audience with Sci-Fi… just a guess).
You should check out the Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn though, fantastic series.
I’m not a gamer so I wasn’t aware of that. Thanks!
And I’ll have to look into it. I haven’t read anything Star Wars in about 7 years, time for me to get back into it.
I knew that too. I just really loved KOTOR.
It was one of the greatest games I have ever played.
Mass Effect. It’s the spiritual successor. Pretty hard to compare them.
mass effect was fantastic, really broadened some of the concepts explored in KOTOR (which, never thought was as good as alot of people did, as far as RPG’s go there’s plenty out there that kick it’s butt like Baldur’s Gate, any of the Elder Scrolls from Arena through Oblivion to Fallout 3 (ok, that’s not fair, the last one was post-KOTOT).
But, if you haven’t already, check out the new “Old Republic” MMO they’re working on. Kind of a KOTOR version of Star Wars: Galaxies.
Well Kotor got me into RPG’s maybe Old Republic will do that for MMO’s. All I know is that was one of the most epic teaser trailer/cutscenes EVAR.
Not that it won’t suck, but Star Trek MMO is coming out in the future sometimes, by the same guys that made City of Heroes.
Oh, it’ll suck. Star Trek just has the worst luck in video games.
Ain’t it the truth! And it could be so good…. if it was good. But its going to be … so bad…
Mass Effect is easily the greatest game I’ve ever played. It’s just so short!
Really? I’ve had games last 70+ hrs.
And don’t choose the yellow color, you won’t be accepted by most other Jedi because of the danger of using a yellow lightsaber.
VNV, I salute your geekiness.
However, I must point out that the plural of “Jedi” is “Jedi”.
sam jackson was allowed to keep his gold plated purple bladed lightsaber, on the hilt it does read ” BMF” on it
All of the actors who play Jedi keep their lightsabers, in fact, when cast George Lucas presents a box full of the prop lightsabers with different designs and the actors get to choose their lightsabers just like they would have to build them themselves… if they were actually Jedi.
Which proves that Lucas takes this way too seriously considering how badly he mangled his own legacy.
Now all we need is a pair of twenty sided dice and his decent to the dork side will be complete.
ascent you mean
plus, i prefer my vorpal longsword +5 to a lightsaber anyday.
um.. ok maybe not
I’m confused, maybe someone could help? If dice is the plural, but you refer to them as a pair, should you use the singular? As in “Bring a pair of die”, and “Bring the dice”, each meaning the same thing? Though, dice could refer to more than two, as plural does not necessarily denote a pair. I should get some sleep.
Die is the singular, dice the general form of the plural yes.
“A pair of 20-sided dice” is specifying the number of dice (2) and type (20-sided polyhedral, probably numbered 1 .. 20). I’m pretty certain that “a pair of die” is wrong because you’re specifying more than one die. Similarly, “bring me a dice” would be wrong because you’ve asked for one, and used the plural form of the noun.
The singular of mice is mouse.
The singular of lice is louse.
So the singular of dice is douse.
Grouse (pronounced /ˈɡraʊs/) are a group of birds from the order Galliformes. Is the plural of grouse in this context grice?
Indeed yes. There is only one exception to that rule: the singular of house is Hice. If you’re the Queen, that is. Oh, but then the plural is hizes. I’ll shut up.
The singular of pants is, er, pants.
the plural of semen is cement.
…or seamen.
Surely the plural of semen is twins?
Semen is a stuff, so it doesn’t have a plural. See, the world is divided into ‘stuff’ and ‘things’. Concrete is stuff, and seamen are things. Although it can get complicated. Things can be made out of stuff, like, for example a concrete seaman. Conversely, when I talk about going back to get my stuff from my ex’s house, it will actually consist of a mixture of stuff and things. Mainly things, probably, unless she’s burnt it/them on the lawn, in which case ‘stuff’ is an entirely accurate description of what’s left.. I hope this clears it up for you.
And, of course, semen is a kind of soup of things in stuff.
I disagree with the man’s politics, but he still seems like a fun guy to hang around with.
That’s exactly what I though when I listened to him call Kanye a jacka$$. He seems really cool
“Troll”; noun; anyone who does not think Obama is the Messiah and does not have their lips firmly planted on his ass at all times.”
Seriously, did Random find a way back it? Who is this chump?
It’s a chump who obviously doesn’t know the definition of “troll”.
Yeah, by his definition, we’re all trolls because NONE of us think Obama is the messiah. Oy.
bitter troll is hairy troll, but he dont think obama man messiah
cheesus is the way and the light to the tastey snack in the afterlife
Tasty snacks in the afterlife? Sign me up, yo!
I’m in, if the beverages are frosty and refreshing as well…
The soda fountain stretches for miles. And any brewski you want on tap, yo. That’s the afterlife for me!
The singular of fun guy is fungus. Surely you meant he was a fungus to hang out with.
VNV, the nesting is failing big time. Feel free to continue your rant here.
Ok. You gonna give us some policy here? Or were you saving that for my next nest? Cause I have a feeling the only thing you can do is shout “fail” in my direction.
I have stated plenty of policy. But since you can only see the left side of any post, I guess you missed it.
You have stated no policy. “freedom” isn’t a policy. “states rights” is sort of a policy but it doesn’t answer any questions about the problems we face. I am beginning to think you don’t actually have any. To think I wasted all that time! Geez! Well… At least now we know. I am the bad guy who has ideas, and you are the good guy with none. Well that’s a lot easier that way! I can go relax and play video games now!
Yes, you are that ignorant. And a real jackass at that. The only defense you can give is that I don’t have a plan to conquer the world.
VNV/Biden 2012! Reminds me of Pinky and the Brain. What are we going to do tonight VNV? Well Joe, same as always, take over the world!
(Admit it, you are now singing …..brain brain brain brain)
Snarf!
Still no policy! You are just the thing that won’t quit aren’t you!
Plenty of policy. You are just like a school yard kid that has to keep shouting the same thing over and over. Must have last word. Must have last word.
Yeah. Thats me
I guess we can take “plenty of policy” as your official stance on poverty, or world hunger? Let me guess. When it comes to magazines you real “all of em”?
I don’t waste my money on magazines.
Not even Playboy? They have great articles
Naw, I don’t need the instructions any more. I like to practice with the real thing.
You can’t squeeze a paper boobie. Well I guess you can, but it’s not much fun.
Actually, I’m not seeing your policy either. Just you slinging insults.
*many* of the ideas…… Sheesh, I want a laptop with a real keyboard. After years of a custom built desktop that died about the time Vista came out, I thought this HP with the newest operating system would keep me from having to upgrade.
Yeah, I also thought I looked cool in above mentioned Monster Maroon.
Thats not what I was doing. I was asking for legitimate ideas for the future. You had none. It still doesn’t look like you are looking forward. Just like you are looking around or looking back. All you have stated here are all the things you don’t want to change or have any control of changing. Nothing about what you -would- change.
Unfortunately, it seems to be the “conservative way”; tear down the progressives ideas, but provide none of their own. *sigh* Some things never change.
Beg to differ with you Ivan. Change all you want, but keep Gov Co. out of it.
As opposed to the “liberal way” of taking everything and redistributing it to everyone as the government sees fit?
Thank you Semper!
VNV, you get home yet and watch that video? I know you had to work late, as you did nothing today but wait breathlessly for my replies all day.
No no, that was me. *pants*
Somebody’s been watching Limbaugh again.
Raising taxes on the rich (or even just undoing the ridiculous tax CUTS they got under the Bush administration) does not constitute “taking everything”. And spare us the whines about how they “earned their money”, because nobody on EARTH does work deserving of the kind of money they make- least of all a bunch of incompetent CEOs who run their companies into the ground and then fly their personal jets to go beg the government to bail them out.
And anyone who throws tantrums over a few bucks of their money being spent to _save lives_ is a complete waste of oxygen.
By the way, did you know “Semper Fidelis” was first found carved on a Roman doghouse in Pompeii? It’s also where the traditional dog name “Fido” came from. Just sayin’.
Well, I darn sure would stop the spread of Socialism. Don’t think I don’t have ideas because I don’t believe in forcing them on others.
And I would change the world, by working hard, raising my children as productive members of society, and not sucking the teat of welfare. I would and do give assistance to those in need around me. I have taken help from others when I needed it. I spread the wealth around by my choice, and not at the point of a gun.
Actually, those are personal mores. And who’s pointing a gun at you? I’d call the cops on ‘em, yes I would!
Forget to pay your taxes and see how fast those armed guys with lights on their cars give you a free visit to the 3 bar hotel. Or promote you to Obama’s cabinet. (bada bing)
bitter troll cant be in the cabinet of obama, the fancy dish’s are already there!
just to stoke the fires here a bit – what are you reasons for disliking socialism so much? i mean, besides being a republican tenet, what are the actual reasons?
seems to me many countries utilize it to certain degrees with quite a bit of success
including ours in some areas
Win.
Hellz yes, wallFly!
Maybe I’m wrong, but as I read history, and understand the entire idea of our Constitution, big government rule always fails in the end. Monarchy’s worked well for quite some time, some better than others, and some complete failures.
And it seems to me that many of the European Socialists are beginning a trek back away from it.
Have any of you read PJ O’Rourke on good Socialism vs bad Socialism? Like, say, Sweden vs. Cuba? I suspect Justacarolinan would agree with his analysis, and VNV possibly not. Anyway, he’s pretty damn funny. Just to nail my colours to the mast I think that the purpose of government is to do the bidding of the people, rather than the other way round. All the problems of the 20th century were caused by governments with ideas.
Maybe I’m wrong, but I think that a lot of Americans (mostly their “conservatives”) confuse “democracy with social programmes” with totalitarianism. I’ll agree with Justacarolinian that there’s a move away from totalitarian models, but that doesn’t equate to a move away from social programmes.
YES! Thank you! Finally, someone sensible.
I like searching for my name, I can see when people are talking about me.
No I have nothing to add, but I wanted to interject that.
And now for some related song lyrics!
You’re in a mess cause this is the end
God he cannot bless not leading your hand
In your mother’s womb you feel warm and safe
But that’s a fallacy cause this is your grave
Lack of ideas is practically a requirement for joining the Republican party. Too much thinking makes you unpatriotic, yanno.
But it’s not a RED lightsaber….
Darth Cheney took that one.
Lol, I have an image of the Obama having a fight with Cheney now!
Yeah, except we all know what happened in Star Wars when a black man took on the sith lord. O_O
he whooped him, till anakin ” i cant act my way out of a paper bag” skywalker gets in the way and betrays you
Pfft. That’s what the Emperor WANTED you to believe. He was trying to act all pathetic, like that badass MFer was whooping his ass so Annie Skyfvcker would feel sorry for him and betray the Jedi. The Emperor could whoop him with one hand tied behind his back.
Well now we know why Obama scrapped Bush’s missile shield project: we don’t need it, he can use the force to send back missiles where they came from.
just curious, but did you read Gates press release? even if you didn’t the unclassified stuff they’ve released as far as airborne or sea-based missile defense systems are pretty impressive.
you were probably just messin’ but the stuff they’re releasing is the unclassified stuff, so just imagine what they’re actually using out there. also, google “kinetic projectile” or even some of the advances they’re making in microwave or sonic weaponry. pretty cool stuff
hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side kids…
Bitter! Where the heck have you been, you naughty troll! We had a wonderful knock-down-drag-out, then we all kissed and made up. You would have been a terrific addition!
bitter troll has had some issues getting back and forth to his bitter job. thats where the bitter troll spends most of his time on PK
I missed it?!
*Darth Rando uses the force choke*
I find your lack of faith…disturbing.
-lifts his bitter hands and throws bitter lighting bolts- BITTERNESS!!! UNLIMITED BITTERNESS!!!!
Am I going to have to rewrite a famous star wars scene to make it contemporary again like I did to cement my place in PK’s ranks?
Yes, please, and thank you.
I’m a devout conservative and I hate everything about Obama… but… this pic makes me smile.
Yet, had this been a picture of Bush doing the same thing, the lunatics here would have called him every nasty name imaginable….
No, Wazzit. Just you.
Get a life, troll!!!!!!!
Oh look Rando! It’s the Fu(kweasel Twins! They’re so cute when they pop up from nowhere and call regulars ‘trolls’! I even like their matchy-matchy avatars!
Your mom says “no more sex for you with her”! And she called you a “potty mouth”.
Saw the original on Reddit.
There was a guy in the background picking his nose. . .now THAT was an awesome picture.
500th comment! yay.. anyway… LOOK A DISTRACTION! 500th comment teehee
Now THIS is a unique opportunity. Ordinal post for a 500th comment.
Finger Eleven is a Canadian rock band from Burlington, Ontario, formed in 1989. They originated in Burlington, Ontario, as Rainbow Butt Monkeys. They have currently released five studio albums, with their album The Greyest of Blue Skies bringing them into the mainstream. The 2003 self-titled album achieved Gold status in the US and Platinum in Canada, largely due to the success of the single “One Thing”, which marked the band’s first placing on the US Hot 100 Chart at number 16. Their 2007 album Them vs. You vs. Me launched the single “Paralyzer”, which went on to top numerous charts including the Canadian Hot 100 and both US rock charts, as well as reaching #6 on the US Hot 100 and #12 on the Australian Singles Chart. They won the Juno Award for Rock Album of the Year in 2008.
And I still haven’t heard of them.. oh wait, I’m in Australia. I don’t think we get mainstream music down here.
I only posted it because their original names were “Rainbow Butt Monkeys.”
Yes, I did a Wikipedia search for “butt monkey.”
LMAO I love you Rando.
i love lamp!
I love you more.
Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father, did he Barak?
He told me enough, he told me you killed him!
No, Barak, -I- am your father.
BaraCk.
Teal deer.
I love that look on his face! It says, “May the dork be with you.”
/golfclap
Anyone else notice he has a boner?
It’s Obama Won Kenobi
That lightsaber is based on Qui-Gon Jinn’s, which is green. Every Star Wars geek knows that. Why is Obama’s blue? Clearly he’s not nerdy enough.
gotta love unfounded bias, Id bet a paycheck that if there was a picture like this of bush people would call him a moron or a childish idiot or say he was holding the light saber wrong or just anything else negative they could think of. But no, its someone else doing the exact same thing and we just call it funny. Well done to all of you out there. /golfclap
You can tell by the look on his face is making the lightsaber noise
schushhhh wraaaoun
~snickersnort~ I’ll bet he is.
I’m pretty meh on Obama’s politics- I don’t think he’s nearly liberal _enough_ – but I do like that he’s not afraid to be a little dorky when it’s fun.
Is anyone else amused by the sudden profusion of anti-national health care ads plastered all over PK?
And aww, the ittle trollies has a mad. Would you like lollipops to make you feel better?
Oh, but wait! Giving you lollipops that someone else paid for would totally be SOCIALISM! Lollipops would lead to the downfall of our society! Eeekkk!
yeah funny how nobody realized it is photo shopped… the light saber isnt straight. and its choppy along the light saber
Because those toy Lightsabres have telescopic plastic “beams” you mean?
Yo Obama, I’m real happy for you, Imma let you finish, but Yoda was one of the best Jedi Masters of all time!
