Gradually degenerating into ignorance and complacency.

It looks like the Death Star is still under construction


No stupid ... that's "We're in Deep **** Nine"!
We're not going anywhere. It's not like this has thrusters or anything like that.

That is one heck of a hood ornament!

Spam

Sir!  His spam level is lowering.
Well, raise it!
I can't!
 
Over-ride, where's the over-ride?
 
Spamming is ebbing like the tide, thankfully.

Remembering odd event

I was driving through town one year -- wow, it was years ago, perhaps, and some kids were on the sidewalks and lawns with fireworks that I saw.  As I passed by them, I heard two large "thump"s on my car.  To this day, I wonder, as they stared at my car -- passing them deftly, if they had shot the car intentionally or whether the noises were independant of the children at all.  It registered on the driver's side -- were the kids were, so naturally I assumed it was projectiles from the idiot kids.  Now ... had I been an SOB, I would have pulled off the main strip there and intimidated the family, most notably with legal recourse; in violation of city code regarding legal fireworks, fired by children under 18 unattended (more over use of fire by 10 year-olds), public menancing (intentionally striking vehicles in operation with projectiles) could lead up to possible aasault charges.  I let all of that go, thankfully, and continued to my destination.  I remember looking for indicators of damaging, but found none.
 
While driving today a, louder than new gravel, sound eminated from my driver's side and, while not attacked, and not the same, it nonetheless reminded me of the strange noise so many years ago.
