Mr. Silver
We got a hit from the U.K. over the weekend.
The site made an impression, I’m sure.
11:34 AM Mr. Blue
HRH?
11:34 AM Mr. Silver
That would be awesome.
11:43 AM Mr. Silver
"I say...Philip. Come and have a look at this..."
11:43 AM Mr. Blue
Heheh!
11:45 AM Mr. Silver
Put up a “By appointment to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II” seal on the blog.
12:00 PM Mr. Silver
"We got a single hit from the U.K. and assumed it must be the queen. Please write to us, ma’am, if this is incorrect."
12:01 PM Mr. Blue
"If we receive no response we will assume we are correct."
Mr. Brown
Does anybody know who the first Sith lord was?
11:23 AM Mr. Silver
(waits for Mr. Gray)
11:24 AM Mr. Gray
If you are asking “first” as in “once the armies of Sith died and they went to the rule of two”....then its Darth Bane.
Before that there were millions.
11:25 AM Mr. Gray
Before that there was a series of Emperors and a council of Darths.
11:25 AM Mr. Silver
Sith was a race and culture, Mr. Brown, so a “Lord” of the Sith had a different connotation way way back.
11:26 AM Mr. Gray
Yeah...so when you say Sith, you have to specify if you mean the Sith race, or the Sith Order.
11:26 AM Mr. Brown
I forget who took the first Darth name.
11:26 AM Mr. Gray
Darth is a title that existed for centuries. Way before the Old Republic.
It just means “lord” really, but a “darth” had the right to earn a place on the ruling council. Not all darths chose to be on the council though.
11:27 AM Mr. Silver
"Party on Bane!"
"Party on Darth!"
11:27 AM Mr. Gray
LMAO
Mr. Brown
I would like to see some light whips and light clubs.
11:47 AM Mr. Silver
A light club?
"It's a plasma club that can cut through plasteel like cheese!"
11:47 AM Mr. Gray
A short lightsaber is about all it would be.
11:47 AM Mr. Silver
"So...an its an ugly bulbous lightsaber..."
11:48 AM Mr. Gray
Yep LOL Thats what I pictured
"Why...that's not an elegant weapon for a more civilized age!"
12:10 PM Mr. Brown
12:13 PM Mr. Silver
So a lightclub is just a greatsword.
12:13 PM Mr. Brown
Yeah.
12:13 PM Mr. Silver
What a stupid choice of a name.
12:16 PM Mr. Silver
Light fauchard-fork!
12:23 PM Mr. Silver
Light yoyo!
It requires a special pair of gloves to use.
"I call this trick 'Burnin' A Thermonuclear Hole In The Dog'."
12:25 PM Mr. Brown
You could make the gloves out of that material that light sabers can't penetrate.
12:32 PM Mr. Silver
I'd suggest just dressing in that material, honestly.
Mr. Blue
When you think about it, the Ewoks are pretty ridiculous. It wouldn't take much for the Empire to completely wipe them off the planet. The Ewoks are probably more out of place in a fight than Jar-Jar. They're about the equivalent of wallabies that can wield wooden spears, yet they somehow fend off the Empire.
3:05 PM Mr. Silver
They're far more advanced than wallabies with spears.
3:06 PM Mr. Gray
I always loved the fact that everyone went "Aww, they're so cute!” and ignored the fact they were going to EAT everyone in the group when they were captured.
3:06 PM Mr. Brown
LOL
3:06 PM Mr. Silver
Fend off the Empire? The Ewoks and imperials were probably ignoring each other until the "heroes" showed up, exploited the Ewoks' faith, and convinced them to attack.
3:07 PM Mr. Brown
It just shows that a good big rock can work better than a blaster.
LOL
3:07 PM Mr. Silver
The big rock does damage by the impact and inertia of a large mass. It is entirely possible that the walker designers never considered any provision for defense against anything but “advanced” energy and blast weaponry and the designs just couldn't handle rocks. Who in the galaxy hurls big rocks?
3:08 PM Mr. Gray
Rock beats blaster. I need to remember that one for rock-lightsaber-blaster next game that I play of it.
3:08 PM Mr. Brown
Kinda like Arnold Schwarzenegger's character taking out the Predator with sticks
and logs.
3:08 PM Mr. Silver
(Imperial vehicle designer 1) "How is the new AT-ST against big rocks or swinging logs?"
(IVD 2)"Who cares?"
(IVD 1) "True...as long as it'll shed energy weapons it's cool, right? Plus we're over budget."
3:09 PM Mr. Brown
“Oh crap! We didn't test the tripping-over-a-rack-of-falling-logs scenario!”
3:09 PM Mr. Silver
"Well, general, it turns out they flop around like rag dolls and break like eggs if you hit them with large objects."
3:14 PM Mr. Silver
I imagine a couple of common telephone poles smacking into most light to medium military vehicles available even today would be bad.
3:15 PM Mr. Silver
Seeing what would happen if you swing a section of a redwood trunk at a tank would be interesting. Call Mythbusters!
Mr. Gray
I made the mistake of saying "I never have to deal with emotional woman crap from her". Yeah...that will teach me to keep my mouth shut! LOL
Now we're gonna have to have “a talk” about that.
9:08 AM Mr. Silver
You attracted the Emotional Crap demon.
9:09 AM Mr. Silver
Minor spirit...way below Lilith...way above "Oh....nothing..."
9:10 AM Mr. Yellow
Yes, I most often say the wrong thing at times like those. I actually answer the woman and offer constructive ideas. This is not what she wants.
(Naming Mr. Gray's dog – Mr. Silver)
Mr. Silver
“Bitch” is one syllable and rather fun.
1:34 PM Mr. Gray
LOL
My neighbors would hate me though, thinking I'm screaming at a girlfriend or something. LOL
1:55 PM Mr. Silver
Even better!
How about "Loser"? The neighbors would love that too.
"He's yelling it again. Who is he always yelling at?"
1:57 PM Mr. Gray
LMAO
“Here Babyeater!! Come on Babyeater!! Dinner is ready!!”
2:02 PM Mr. Silver
Yes!
Or how about "Fire"!
2:10 PM Mr. Gray
LMAO
(Discussing the new “Conan” movie – Mr. Silver)
Mr. Yellow
I thought it lacked the epic feel of the first one, mostly because of the music.
12:44 PM Mr. Gray
Books are Conan to me. The first movie was pale by comparison.
I will agree better music would have helped.
12:46 PM Mr. Silver
Music can make or kill a movie
I always considered the first Conan movie as "Conan when he was a kid", then fast forward a few years for most of the Howard stories, even though they took bits of the Howard stories for the movie.
12:47 PM Mr. Yellow
The way it was filmed made it more like a TV movie than an epic.
12:49 PM Mr. Yellow
I did not have that same feel after seeing the film like the Arnold Conan. When I saw Conan in the theater years ago, I walked out, like, “Wow! That was great!” and quoting all the lines. I got done with this film and was like “Yes, that was a good movie.”
12:49 PM Mr. Silver
(Conan) "Did I ever tell you about how I went after the cult of Set when I was 17?" (tells movie story)
"That's BULL and you know it, Conan. By Crom! Every time you tell these stories you change stuff and mix it up."
"Hehe...yeah..."
"Listen to the ever-honest King of Aquilonia, guys! Pfft! Just last WEEK you told us the dead Atlantean king from the Set story stood up and chased you around his tomb."
"Ok...ok...I embellish sometimes. Lets have more wine! Drink up and I'll tell you about the pirate queen!"
(room groans)
