Triumph the Dog @ Star Wars Attack of the Clones Premiere in NYC! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zWNJHS9PBE#noexternalembed)
Star Wars fans seem more plentiful and more dedicated.
What can I do to annoy them?
Bubba Feets was a horrible bounty hunter.

That and the fact that it's a "main stream" franchise and thus you really aren't that nerdy/geeky if you are into it.
That'll do it. ;)
If you're at a Comic Con and they are dressed up as characters ask them if they are from the movie "Heavy Metal" or some other ---smurfy--- movie
As I've gotten older I've enjoyed Heavy Metal more, though it does depress me to hear John Candy's voice. When I saw it at ~16 it was all "ZOMG! ANIMATED BUSH!" but I've grown to appreciate the nihilism with age.
:dunno

Did you just call "Heavy Metal" a ---smurfy--- movie?!? :timebomb:

Tell them the inside body temperature of a Tauntaun is Luke warm.

Or that you've been lookin for love in Alderaan places.
I always remind Star Wars fans that their beloved "franchise" is really just a mere trilogy of films with everything else being so mind-numbingly bad that fans refuse to admit it's existance, while Star Trek has made 8 films, an animated series, 4 spin-offs and over 700 episodes..... none of which are as complete an embarrassment as episode I. That and the fact that it's a "main stream" franchise and thus you really aren't that nerdy/geeky if you are into it.

Meh Return of the Sith was pretty good

And that's how you annoy Heavy Metal fans. ;)
For the record, no. not ---smurfy---.
I'm a fan of both Star Trek and Star Wars. Star Trek 5 blows big time. Generations is pretty bad as well. I'd say both are worse than Phantom Menace.
See if you can't find "Kirkless Generations" on the web. It makes for a much better movie--almost like an extended episode from the series, and it's also a very impressive technical feat, cutting an entire arc out of a movie and still having it flow.
Star Trek has made 8 films . . .
I have never understood why people have to be into either Star Wars or Star Trek. The rivalry thing is the most annoying aspect of both of them.
i watched most of the first starwars.
i watched spaceballs many times, it's almost the same right?

And, while Star Trek is great, the culture that has developed around it couldn't possibly be more embarrassing, so the stigma is sort of earned.
Everyone just get a copy of Harmy's Despecialized Edition. After getting the episode 4 one, I won't watch anything else now. Need to get the other episodes.
Yes, those are amazing. I guess I've got them in BluRay format burned to DVD-DLs? Go rather nicely into 2 disc DVD cases along with a copy of the cleaned up Christmas Special.
Whammoed, did you get his 2nd version ones? Just saw he is releasing them now. Didn't read what he changed though.
Having trouble finding episodes 5 and 6 as one of the main sites just got taken down by DoS attacks. If this isn't acceptable talk here could you pm me where you got them?
Yeah, I had to convert the first one with dvdfab(paid for) to mkv
I don't mind Kirk in the movie it is what they did with Kirk in the movie that is not cool. But I did like the Next Generation story line so that version might be interesting.
I had some guys at work that were into their "action figures" like on their desks.
Luke, I am your father.
It's funny because he doesn't say it and purists get choked at it.
The Empire Strikes Back - I Am Your Father (Multi-Language) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wf5iDCY8UO4#)Luke, I am your father.

VADER: If you only knew the power of the dark side. Obi-Wan never told
you what happened to your father.
LUKE: He told me enough! He told me you killed him.
VADER: No. I am your father.
Shocked, Luke looks at Vader in utter disbelief.
LUKE: No. No. That's not true! That's impossible!
VADER: Search your feelings. You know it to be true.
LUKE: No! No! No!
It may phase weak people but a true action figure collector won't let it get to them. They may even have a comeback for you!I had some guys at work that were into their "action figures" like on their desks.
Call them dolls. Nothing kills coolness like the insinuation that you play with dolls. :lol
And I hope no one here thinks that action figures are "dolls".
Read and thou shall learn the truth.....And I hope no one here thinks that action figures are "dolls".
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume that trekking has a few of his own Star Wars dolls. That's cute. ;D
Read and thou shall learn the truth.....
Yeah well I don't talk that way in real life so I don't know how to type it right. It was a joke anyway....... ::)Read and thou shall learn the truth.....
When using an archaic second person pronoun one should probably use the archaic second person verb.
Example: Thou shalt acknowledge the 12" Star Wars Dolls (http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&keywords=Star%20Wars&page=1&rh=n%3A166118011%2Ck%3AStar%20Wars)
No, no. This is Jermaine.
I know people that collect barbies and they aren't little girls anymore.

The only problem I have with Star Trek is that to actually be INTO Trek you have to watch like a dozen shows and 100's of hours of Television and movies. To be into Star Wars you watch 2 good movies, 2 okay movies, and 2 bad movies. Maybe play some video games. It's way easier.
Your Barbies are fine with me. They're fine with all of us.I never said I did, I said people do. I know people that do though.
trekking95 . . . can't you see that I'm on your side? You play with Barbies and other dolls. And that's 100% your right. We live in America, where a person should be free to pursue their hobbies, no matter how embarrassing.You are missing the point, collectors don't play with their collection. People who collect model cars don't play with them, they display them. It's like having a nice little museum of stuff. That's not embarrassing, if done right people actually envy you.
You can't possibly be Canadian. Look how antagonistic you are! Here I am, embracing your perfectly legal choice to play with dolls well into adulthood, and you just keep throwing my friendly overtures in my face.You know what I am saying about the difference between collecting and playing, Eh. Or maybe you don't know what I mean, Eh. I think a 5 year old would understand the difference between collecting and playing with all the ways I explained it, but you just didn't want to see/hear the difference, Eh. :banghead:
I thought for sure someone was gonna blow my cover,
Don't have any.........I thought for sure someone was gonna blow my cover,
Ha! I totally was going to suggest that he send you some Star Wars Pez dispensors to shut you up... :lol
;DI knew what you were doing, but I was hoping that I would be wrong and you were really that ignorant.... that is to what I was saying. :stupid
I'm just giving you ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. Sort of surprised I got away with it for so long. Until I sold it less than a year ago I had an enormous Pez Dispenser collection. I posted a bunch of pictures of it on this forum. I thought for sure someone was gonna blow my cover, lol. Still, stop playing with dolls.
Stopped being interested in them.But you were when you started collecting or you wouldn't have bothered....never heard of that happening.
Or are you saying your wife (if you're a guy anyway) made you get rid of them? :lol
Married ten years, good for you! ;D :applaud:Or are you saying your wife (if you're a guy anyway) made you get rid of them? :lol
My wife and I have been married ten years. Lived in sin for three years before that.
You can't possibly be Canadian. Look how antagonistic you are!
But besides having nothing to do with why you got rid of the Pez dispensers (if you would rather not say that's fine, but my comment about your wife making you do it is a joke anyway), why bother telling people about living in sin?
Technicalities are everything you know. :) But why would someone who did it refer to it as "living in sin"? You couldn't have though it was sin or you likely wouldn't have done it. I guess it's just strange wording on your part.But besides having nothing to do with why you got rid of the Pez dispensers (if you would rather not say that's fine, but my comment about your wife making you do it is a joke anyway), why bother telling people about living in sin?
The relevance is that if my wife were inclined to and able to make me get rid of my Pez Dispenser collection, it is unlikely that it would take her thirteen years to do so. The relevance of living in sin is that while we have technically been married for ten years, we've effectively been married for thirteen.
Here's the thread in which I discuss selling my collection. (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,118249.msg1253545.html#msg1253545)
Your criticism is interesting. I too lived in sin and commonly used the term because it conveys our living arrangement while also conveying disdain for your narrow minded western concepts of morality as they relate to the opposite sex.It's not criticism, but for someone who does "live in sin" to call it one of the worse names makes no sense. Like if you lived in a house full of garbage. You could say "I just keep everything" or "I live in a pile of crap". You wouldn't call it the second one as it would make you feel like you are doing something wrong.
Why would his daughter want a Pez collection that doesn't mean anything to her father? Also, most people collect for the pleasure of collecting rather financial gain.

I always do some amount of background reading about anyone that I'm going to call out for a turn of phrase, with Shmokes there is a prodigious amount available. You can glean a lot, just like I have gleaned that you enjoy being from Canukistan, have a certain amount of righteous pride in your chosen faith, and play with dolls.
And there is absolutely nothing wrong with any of that except the last part. >:D
I too lived in sin and commonly used the term because it conveys our living arrangement while also conveying disdain for . . . narrow minded . . . concepts of morality
I never said that was anything wrong with it, I just thought the wording you used was weird.I too lived in sin and commonly used the term because it conveys our living arrangement while also conveying disdain for . . . narrow minded . . . concepts of morality
Read it over and over again.
Also: irony, irreverence, and general hilarity.
