Spaceman Spiff

Liked the Star Wars joke, and Fallon continually giggling and looking into the camera when not in the SNL opening skit.

The writers mentioned in the commentaries that it was easier to write for Dave & Lisa after they broke up, but I dunno. Sure, there was some funny stuff in the episode or 2 after the breakup, but I much preferred them dating. As for the breakup, Lisa shouldn't have kept Stewart strung along, but all Dave had to do was keep his mouth shut at the end of that episode, and he would have had a chance to get back w/ Lisa. The "if Stewart comes around looking for some, I'll direct him to your desk" line always makes me cringe. Lisa gives him an opening in the building fire episode, but he blows it again there. And marrying Johnny Johnson? Johnny Johnson??? The man ends up a freakin' *HOBO*.

Boba Fett Courtesy of: J. T. Hutt Hey Bob - in the "summer vacation home" home episode towards the end of season 2, what was Lisa saying that got overdubbed? She ends up saying "I'm not spending the summer with 'Mr. Speedo Man'", but she clearly didn't say "Mr. Speedo Man" in the scene. Any idea what got edited out?

Shaq to pay for funeral expenses

Sandman9000's really done it this time!

And it's so obvious when you watch him. Haven't seen his indy stuff, but when he was in the WWE, every couple moves (or so) would remind you of Benoit. Good read. Hopefully they bring him back soon. He was my favorite guy in the company.

I know who he is. And 2 boards aren't enough to contain my bad jokes.

I like you. Won't you be my Valentine?

?

I still use "chippy-chips" from time to time.

Not to sound condescending, but how familiar are you w/ the original trilogy? Because any knowledgeable star Wars fan knows that the Emperor's name was Palpatine.

I liked all those giant baseballs they had outside the stadium. We were down there last summer, but really didn't do much "sightseeing" of the park. Checked out the 715 monument & the parking lot, checked out the aforementioned giant baseballs, and took a quick stroll around the concourse. We knocked out Miami, Tampa, and Atlanta. This summer we're hitting up San Diego, LA Dodgers, and the Angels. Previously, I've done Baltimore, Philly (Vet & Citizen's Bank [i'm from the Philly area]), Yankee Stadium, Fenway, and the Pirates new place. I missed out on a trip to see Wrigley, Milwaukee, and Cleveland.

ABC is running the show on Wed. at 10 PM, for anyone who needs to get caught up.

There was at least 1 instance of hologram Sidious instructing the Trade Fed. on what to do.

That's some cool shit there. Couple nitpicky things: 1) The robes & mask shit is hokey. I'd rather go w/ highback chairs & shadows to hide the identities around the table. Work w/ lower camera angles, have the guys wear long sleeves. With the robes & masks, I expect them to go off chanting somewhere. 2) Don't like Steph as the head of the group. Since Flair shouldn't really be an active wrestler in the scheme, make him the leader. Early in the angle, he could be the victim of a "beatdown" (staged). He could then go to Bisch/Long, and tell them he's "overheard things", that HHH keeps mentioning some kind of plan when he's on his cell phone, but he always hangs up when Flair shows up. That HHH has been really quiet lately, and doesn't really confide in Flair like he used to. Maybe 1 more big beatdown that put him in the hospital (although not really, since it was staged) for the big "reveal" PPV. Then the big reveal could be that Flair was sexing up Linda McMahon for the last 5-10 years, since she had been put off by Vince's actions w/ the likes of Torrie, Trish, etc. In return, Flair had been duping her into turning over control of the company to him, and that he had dumped "that old BITCH" once he had used her up. He hatched the plan all those years ago, and finally the time was right to take over. Flair doesn't even need to be at ringside. Put him up in the skybox in each arena, like he's the Emperor of Rome. Not only would that get Steph out of the angle, but it would also open up a spot for a protege, say Benjamin. Or, even better, Lesnar (yeah, I know you didn't want to bring anyone back, but it's Brock fucking Lesnar). The guys in the group aren't getting any younger, and guys like Angle, Taker, and HBK are conceivably 1 bad bump from being retired, so they need a young stud in the group. HHH saw the potential in Lesnar, but he couldn't have him on Raw, so he sent him to SD to be groomed by Taker & Angle. Once they thought he was ready, they told him to "take a break" from wrestling to recharge his batteries, using "trying out for the NFL" as an excuse. Maybe even bring up his lawsuit as extra motivation to get back at Vince, as well as his treatment at MSG on his way out. And since Flair is in charge now, the lawsuit will be dropped. (BTW, I pegged Angle & Taker as members early in the story, not that it was a big surprise)

The Trade Federation wasn't supposed to be strong. They're commerce guys, they don't want to get their hands dirty w/ fighting. That's why they built robots to do that for them. Besides, Palpatine needed a group he could manipulate easily, and could just as easily dispose of when he was done with them.

To be fair, the point wasn't to scare, but to do the twist at the end.

What's with you and the word "douchewhistle"?

I sense a DQ finish...

Well, he obviously can't connect w/ the crowd.

OK, can the "reply" button be put back at the top of the posts?

This'll wake the crowd up fo' sure!

Well, they'll most likely be jobbing, so why subject Christian to that?

Fixed.

OK, let's hope Grenier gets knocked out, and Conway/Benjamin get to go 10 minutes by themselves.
