A problem which is not unique to the movies. The entire Star Wars franchise has a fetish for planet killing Super Weapons.

For example, the Hutts tried to make a planet killer that was a stripped down Death Star super laser core.

It promptly exploded on them.

I was told a story by a Canadian band about how they got their name. A Constable came to their school to warn them about the dangers of drinking and driving and how he once arrested his neighbor for drinking while mowing his lawn while on a riding mower. Apparently, the Constable was pretty proud of himself.

VVV That's my girlfriend's name.

Well, basically we played only when we were driving from one party to another. The rules were pretty simple:

1. Stop signs driver takes a drink
2. Red lights everyone but the driver drinks until its green
3. When someone finishes their beer (with the exception of the driver) they have to peg a sign with it (this is much easier with bottles than cans). If they miss they have to take another drink, if they connect the driver takes a drink. The driver gets to choose who tries on his behalf and the drinking punishment is reversed.
4. Cars with one headlight are a social.
5. Cops are a waterfall ending with the driver.
6. If you get pulled over everyone has to chug their beers before the cop gets to the window. (this rule never came up)

I think there were a couple more rules, but those are the ones I remember. The cop waterfall only ever came up once and I'm super proud of us for sticking with the rule. We only played it like 3 times before we decided we had used all of our luck up and shelved it.

I already play sports ya ding dong, and I'm in work softball league so I get using sports as a front for day drinking. But ya, now that it's been pointed out to me, I'll probably avoid starting sentences with "ya know, I read online that in golf one should always..." which is a very "me" thing to do :p

Anyway I'm posting lots bout golf in the funny pictures thread, ill stop but here have this old picture of the cool dog that people like:

The Darksaber (:emo:) was built on the cheap, despite multiple warnings about what an absolute shitshow construction had turned into by the end. If it had been built properly it might've actually worked. And not been anywhere near as hilariously sad.

Another cool thing about golf is there is sometimes a co sessions cart that will bring food and beer/liquor to you. It's goddamned hard though. Hitting a small stationary object straight is loving ridiculously hard.

So don't play for winning, don't keep score. Except poo poo you hit inadvertently. So far my score is 3 houses and a car. A car that was traveling towards me, and somehow managed to hit the side of it. loving banana shot.
