Tinker Toys!! :cool: Bedsheets+furniture+building blocks+a friend=a giant tent 'city' that covered my entire room. My mother wasn't too happy with that one. And yeah, there's probably lots of sites that review games for children. Shrek2 seems to be a popular one, but I don't know if that's really appropriate for 3 year olds or not. I have no clue about young children, really.

I like the spirit of Xmas...I just don't like the modern reality. A materialistic holiday that turns the spirit of giving/family/love into the spirit of shallow and narcissistic. Of course, not all people/families celebrate Xmas with that kind of mentality...and I applaud them for it. Me, I just ignore holidays. It's just another day...if I want to buy someone a gift or give them a hug or see someone I haven't seen in a long time, I don't wait for a holiday.

Duke of Earl - the Platters

My husband had his first smoke when he was around 5. His uncles or grandfathers or something. But their excuse was that times were somewhat different then.

Star Trek action figures from the early/mid 70's. I tortured Scotty. The 'Fireplace log' that a local station would play all day Xmas day...it was just funny & an inside type joke with friends.

They did that for Morrowind, too...and Tombraider...and....

I think the story-reasons are something about how it's a DS place, full of DS energy, that dampens out the LS energy, or something along those lines, however the SW universe might coin such concepts. As to the movitations of the actual level designers...who knows.

Most likely not, although there is a way to 'mess' up and not be able to get that shopkeeper to show her 'extra' wares - that is, if you side with her merchant competitor Oondar on the other side of that main hub area. If you sided with Geeda, then each time you 'clear' a planet's main quest you can go back and talk to her, and her shop will have a few new items. She did always have a specific color crystal at one point when you re-visit her. It might have been silver, I don't remember, sorry. If you've already done a planet, it'll still work, but I think you might have to enter/leave that area first to re-load her inventory....maybe. Otherwise, silver crystal, it's random, as most are.

The first and best Die Hard. "...and I have to kill one with feet smaller than my sister."

I don't get the lyrics stuck in my head so much, but the bass beat of Another One Bites the Dust/Queen often loops around forever...where you run around going "dun dun dun" etc. all day. @dufflover - You're mean and evil and your actions are responsible for my current apperance.

Green Dragon could answer, but then some people would think the GD wasn't telling the real truth, and a whole movement might be spawned, cause, y'know, it's a conspiracy.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith. It has some cute/funny lines that made me laugh, but of course it had plot holes the size of the moon. Not that I was expecting logic. Fun movie for a light romp, but nothing great. The direction felt a little 'cold', a little too distant, too. But it did make me think that poor Greg Ellis will be forever stuck playing micro-cameos.

Oh, darn, it's QT, I can't watch it. Guess actors want to be in 'fantasy' movies these days.

*insert picture of Spam here* ...either that, or I suppose you could see it as a public service announcement...

I liked the Utpauns(sp?) for their dark toothy looks and Jawa's because they're short and incomprehensible like myself. And of course, a runner-up nod must be given to: Space Slug!

"Cheer up, sleepy jean! Oh, what can it mean. To a daydream believer And a homecoming queen!"

I'd say something like the sky is falling, but I think the others have it pretty much covered. :D Why is it (almost) always assumed they're male, heh.

Politically incorrect reaction: Ruuuuuuuuuunnnnn, Forest, run! Well-meaning and sincere reaction: Congrats man, and good luck....and don't trash the honeymoon suite too much, hotel managers get kind of cranky about that. :D

Nooooooooo!!! I'd finally gotten the Numa Numa video out of my head. See what you've done??

As much as I liked the general story and all the jazz, I'm going to have to say the saber battles. Since I hadn't played Kotor1 before Kotor2 - or any other SW game - the snazzy saber sounds and lightshows coupled w/my favorite NPC's, were great...I couldn't get enough for quite a while.

Once in a great while it snows up in the hills here - the sort of snow that usually melts by noon, or at the most a couple days. When this happens, people from the cities like to drive up in their pick ups and shovel the stuff into the back, drive back down, and have snowball fights in the middle of suburbian San Jose. Otherwise, you have to drive 5 or 7 hours to see snow. Pretty pictures. Haven't been in snow in some time. Most we get is icy windows when the temps get close to or slightly below freezing.

Arrgh!! Pretty soon everyone's going to film 3 movie at once, like Mr. LotR director. Oh wait....maybe that wouldn't be such a bad thing...might improve consistency... Edit: Then again, if the SW prequel had been filmed all at once...*pictures that floppy-earred creature jivin' through all 3* *shudder*

I liked three things about PotC...Geoffrey Rush, Greg Ellis and the monkey. And the cinemotography. And music. Ok, that's five things. A sequel eh? What a surprise.

Greyhound...are they still around? Then yeah, I'd agree, they're always a good option if you don't have much stuff. When I was 19, I was already in my own place with furniture, computers (what passed for them then anyway), tons of books and such, pets etc. Sometimes it's hard to decide if it's cheaper to toss it all and buy new(ish) stuff or not. But beds and shelving can definitely be ignored. heh Oh and...San Fran is definitely a good option vs. NY. Good suggestion.

The first 1/2 of sci-fi's original "Manticore." The most notable thing about it was being able to point and say "Hey, that's..." Voyager's Chakotay (Roger Beltran).
