Hey, I've been in a mood for corny jokes lately. :)

The whole phrase "joystick hat" is kinda funny. A hat... for your stick... of joy... yeah...

Ahh, planned obsolescence is alive and well in a time long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away... Hey, he only got the number wrong. Otherwise, what he described sounded close enough for me to know what he was talking about, generally speaking. Not all of us are rabid Star Wars fans who...

Actually, in America, the long distance buses (Greyhound, basically) have bathrooms built in. So you can't get off for bathroom breaks, either. At least on the few trips I've taken by Greyhound, they usually stop halfway so everyone can get out and buy lunch.

Everybody thinks the Wright brothers made the first powered flight, ergo, they invented the airplane. If I invent the wheel before that other guy who invented the wheel, and nobody ever finds out, well too bad for me. Just my personal philosophy on these quibbles about who invented what...

Hrm, if the Sivar is a graviton gun, and jump drives generate anti-gravitons, then what happens when the Sivar fires its gun and jumps at the same time?

Oh, the liberal media is such a myth. The liberals think the media is conservative, and the conservatives think the media is liberal. The truth is probably that it's somewhere in the middle, or maybe both, and people just pick arguments with those stories they like the least.

Yes, yes I do (not, hopefully, there's anything wrong with that). How do you think it should be pronounced?

I keep running into people from Indiana, talking about Indiana, or going to Indiana (or almost going, in this case). WTF?!?

I freely agree and disagree with LOAF, and haven't been banned (yet). I just try to maintain a certain level of decorum.

Look at the size of that thing!

The main problem with DVD recording isn't the drives anymore, it's the media. When you're talking about dollars per disc, rather than pennies, that's a significant issue. Also, DVD recording isn't as widespread as CD recording, so there's probably not as much demand for DVD images. On the...

I didn't think about that, but yeah, they've got the Strykers over there, which are more like the LAVs the Marines use (wheeled armored troop carriers), except higher tech. I think they'll help, but they're just one brigade or so in a single unit, and in any case, I don't think they were...

Dork'lath is a funny name. It sounds like a tool for making dorks round. WTF? :)

Let's play Calvinball, where the only rule is that you can't use the same rule twice.

Two African swallows might be able to tow a fighter, sure, but could two European swallows?
