Perhaps The Great Jespah can answer this burning question:

I have been unusually busy this week and haven't logged on for five days or so. I cannot possibly read all the new posts that are popping up, so tell me...

Which threads from the past five days are "Don't-Miss"es?

Oh hurrah! I have a philosophical question that is driving me crazy:

Are the "Star Wars" movies best viewed in the order they were made (4-6, 1-3) or in the order of the story (1-6)?


It's actually an extremely complex algorithm. First, never watch any of the episodes that are not prime-numbered in order of creation. This immediately eliminates 4 and 6, so you miss nearly all of the immensely annoying Jar Jar Binks character.

This leaves you with 1, 2, 3 and 5. 3 has too many Kenner toys (I mean, ewoks) in it so you should watch that part first and get it over with, then burn it in the pagan ritual of your choice. This applies to the entire movie, but only watch the ewoks part, all the while lamenting about the lack of quality entertainment in the world today.

Then watch #2 but be sure to mute all of the Yoda sequences and replace them with the hit songs of the 70s. There's nothing like Yoda singing "You're Having My Baby".

Then watch #5 backwards. Finally, watch #1 and be sure to take a drink every time the Millennium Falcon goes into hyperdrive.


Oh now you have me confused.

The one with the ewoks was number 6, but it came out third.

And

I would rather drink when the Millennium Falcon goes into hyperdrive during number 4 (because I like to drink), but it did come out first. I don't think the M.F. was even in #1.

And

I think Jar Jar Binks was in Episode 1, which came out fourth, but I've been wrong before.


I sit corrected. And Jar Jar was in more than 1 film but mostly in the one that came out fourth but is really supposed to be #1 in the series. Actually, I think you should only watch the ones with Harrison Ford in them and drink both when the Millennium Falcom goes into hyperdrive and whenever Yoda says, well, pretty much anything. I hope that's clearer.

Sometimes enlightenment takes a couple of tries.

Sadly, no, although it's worth a shot and we could all use the respite.

Oi! Gus is the grand old man of A2K.. if A2K were an ancient, traditional village, Gus would be the bearded village elder, introducing the young 'uns about the lessons of life. They would gather around in an attentive circle as he taught them about truth and virtue and sheep.


It's important to learn about truth, virtue and sheep and not necessarily in that order. Still, Gus could stand a good bath or at least a good hosing down.

I see no one has asked the all important question yet, so I will.

What is the meaning of life?









By the way, I've already seen the movie. :wink:


While some would say 42 and others would tell you to always look on the bright side of life, I feel that the meaning of life is to eat as much cheese as possible. If you're lactose intolerant, this also means you will be farting as much as possible, and that's a bonus, so far as I'm concerned, unless I'm downwind from you.

Jespah, you are a very funny woman. I remember being startled by how quick and funny you were back on a certain thread long, long ago about a duck, (not on a2k).



Does nutella stand alone as the embodiment of deliciousness, or should it be accompanied by vanilla ice cream?


Is the road not taken paved with gold, or covered with diamonds the size of pea gravel?


Thank you, may your path to enlightenment not be covered with the droppings of ducks.

Nutella can be enjoyed in many ways as some of us recall there were something like 1,001 uses for Nutella and many of them were not of the traditional variety. I prefer to use it as axle grease m'self. It's fine with vanilla ice cream but do try to not imbibe of any of the axle grease.

The road not taken has potholes and a wicked dogleg turn and then a rotary which leads straight into the Somerville Vortex. I recommend flooring it while flipping off the other drivers and blasting Lynyrd Skynyrd on the radio.

Wrong question.......


The question is:

"Why a Quaker would become Richard Nixon."


A Quaker would become Richard Nixon for the same reason that a duck would become Sandra Bullock, but only when you remember the square root of 2.

Which threads from the past five days are "Don't-Miss"es?


Well, this one, of course.

Then there's the one on Politics where everyone yells at everyone else. Then the one in Religion where everyone points fingers, says we're all going to hell and yells at everyone else. Then there's the one in Relationships where someone is using porn instead of sex and yells at everyone else. Then there's the one in Home Improvement where the water softener system isn't working and the homeowner yells at everyone else. Then there's the one in Autos where some guy is looking for used crankase oil to add to his Nutella sandwich.

Not at all.

May a mysterious can of Fresca appear when you are most thirsty. It will be lukewarm; you must provide the ice.

Damn!

As a result of your answer i now have a burning question. Unfortunatly it is not philosophical in nature, so I cannot reasonably ask for an answer here.

Fresca is a citrus (grapefruit-based) soft drink from the boys and girls at Coca-Cola, introduced in the 1960s. It is "lo-cal" or "no-cal" stuff, and therefore might qualify as a "diet" soft drink.

The philosophical significance of Fresca is that many of the cognoscenti are convinced that Coca-Cola Corporation did not actually invent the soft drink, but, rather, that it first appeared from another dimension of the cosmos at the same time that the aircraft from the missing Navy Flight 19 training mission, which disappeared in 1945, was suddenly discovered in northern Georgia, near a major distribution facility of the Atlanta-based Coca-Cola Corporation. It is further alleged that Coca-Cola covered up the evidence about Flight 19 in order to capitalize on the popularity of the new soft drink, and that people who have attempted to investigate this claim have mysteriously disappeared.
