TV Discussion Fisto's Disco: The LACWAC Social Thread

Is that better guys?

 

Yep, much. Question, the very side of the banner besides R2's head, is that a seperate image or the background in the R2 shot? It kinda looks Mustafarian.

 

Looks much better.

Perhaps a little too much Grievous and Anakin on the right side of the banner.

That end picture of Anakin is totally creepy, straight out of Mustafar for sure.

It's the separate shot of Grievous and the droid pilots.

 

This day in history...

August 2nd;

1990 - Gulf War: Iraq invades Kuwait, eventually leading to conflict with coalition forces.

 

War...

//Ep.3 scroll continues...

Sweeeet gif, mate.

 

Awesome isn't it?

So, anybody have anything planned for the weekend? I'm off fishing tomorrow - Making the most of a bit of summer setting up at long last.

 

This day....

August 3rd;

1492 Columbus sets sail from Palos, Spain for "Indies"

 

Speaking of Columbus, just read an interesting article in TIME magazine about Columbus.

He introduced the chili pepper to Europe & Asia, but also introduced corn, tomatoes and potatoes as well.

I never knew potatoes weren't native to Europe.

 

Yeah, the humble spud was introduced to the UK from the New World. It was never native to Europe! Just think, there was a time when the Brit's never ate CHIPS!

 

On this day....

August 4th;

1693 Dom Perignon invents champagne

 

Stuff of the devil. I've only ever gotten drunk on Champers once and after the hangover the next morning, it was enough to put me off the stuff for life!

 

"Take the Champagen"
'It's pronounced, Champagne'
"Oooooh god!"

Futurama quote, couldn't resist.

 

On this day....

August 5th;

1945 Atom Bomb dropped on Hiroshima (Aug 6th in Japan)

 

So, anyone done anything interesting this weekend? I've been enjoying some summer heat and sun here in the UK. I've actually gotten a bit sunburned!

 

Been down to Margate (UK) at the weekend, gorgeous weather (managed to avoid getting burned though). It was absolutely packed down there, like the old days! Weekend went too fast as usual. Probably something to do with the amount of Grolsch consumed

 

It was great to finally get a bit of summer sun and warmth, wasn't it?

My 5 year old Nephew is in Yarmouth with his grand parents. He rang me this morning to tell me how he's getting on - He sounded really grown up!

 

Yeah, wish I'd planned it a bit better. There's everyone else on Broadstairs beach in bikinis and shorts. I'm in jeans, a t-shirt and trainers At least I had a pint in my hand though!


Regarding your nephew, mine used to do exactly the same thing when he was around that age. He'd have these startling moments of mature clarity, then just resume bombarding me with SW questions Now he's older (12), the maturity is becoming more of a constant (obviously), but the torrent of questions remain...

 

The SW "brainwashing" of my nephew began almost when he was bron, when I brought him a cuddly Jar Jar.

This day in history....

August 6th;

1926 - Harry Houdini performs his greatest feat, spending 91 minutes underwater in a sealed tank before escaping.

 

This day in history....

August 7th;

1984 Japan beats US for olympic gold medal in baseball

 

At least it was only a one off. Think what its like for us Brits, we have to watch the Aussie's thrashing us at Cricket, a game we invented, every other year!

 

Look on the bright side, the rest of the world only thrashes us at footie every four years. Or two if you include the Euro-thingy.

Other than drinking, is there a sport we invented that we're still any good at?

 

Tiddly Winks?
