A bit old but still funny



Tagging Lugija since he likea GoT

 

Thunder = "Uli"
Thundercats = "Ulicus"

Sorted.

God, that intro is so much better than the show itself. I was surprised by how rubbish it was when I went back to watch it as an adult. It didn't hold up at all. Also Lion-O is so raging an imperialist that it made me uncomfortable, and I'm English.

 

uli i didnt like your retirement post bc i enjoyed watching you suffer but here's a instead

The TC reboot was okay, but nowhere near as good as the 2002 MotU reboot IMO.

 

You both have earnt this:

 

My urban fantasy novel I WAS A TEENAGE WEREDEER is out on Kindle now.

Easily my best work.

 

Okay, as a proud Northern Californian (more commonly known as a "real Californian", unlike our cousins in the urban wasteland and desert that is the greater Los Angeles area), I gotta admit, the Pacific Northwest is awesome. I've only spent time in Seattle before (which I love and will be arriving to later today), but Oregon is beautiful. Portland, as far as I am concerned, is the defacto capital of the region. The food, the drinks, the culture, the architecture- love it. Portland has a reputation as a foodie city and it doesn't disappoint. My meal last night with friends consisted of salmon on cedar planks, streak frittes, fingerling potatoes cooked in duck fat, and a red cabbage & radicchio salad with a vinegrette and lardon.

Needless to say, it will be a struggle to maintain my current pant size at this rate!

If you're into craft cocktails, this city is for you. Classics like a Manhattan, Old Fashioned, Sazarac, or Vieux Carre, but with really cool and inventive twists.

Ok, sorry for this out of character post. Um, lets see. Ackbar, democracy, and fleets, so awesome, right?

Yup, it's a fantasy land because without all of our precious Northern Californian water, that entire area would be a wasteland like Jakku.

Jay, you'd love the drinks I had last night. The Sazerac was particularly good. The simple syrup was made with hibiscus flower, such a nice taste that enhanced this classic. I also had a delicious Manhattan called a "Civil War", which used Bull Run bourbon and had a splash of Cynar in it. I actually wasn't familiar with Cynar, it is a bitter Italian liqueur primarily made from artichokes. Added a nice taste to the drink!

Portland is a fun place. Strange, but fun. Portlandia - the tv show - is very accurate, I think.

 

Not sure where else to put this, but ... well, Jedi diplomacy pops up in the most unexpected places: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-41363156

 

And people compain that Yoda did nothing of worth before training Luke

 

This looks interesting

 

The new stellaris DLC is fun. I'm the Borg.

 

Yeah, and I just found out the Cybrex ain't dead in Stellaris.

 

...you mean like metaphorically, or is there actually an event that brings them back? Because that would be really cool.

 

No, they're literally still alive.

 

If the Contingency crisis endures for a set period of time the Cybrex come out of hiding with their forces aiding the player character.
