I don't get this in modern militaries because it means all the headshots are the same height off the ground. Also shorter people can find cover better

You jest, but you are not wrong.

During WW2 in the Pacific, BAR's were given to the shorter men as they were harder to spot and shoot. Short and wide men, I'd guess, as the BAR is heavy as gently caress. Let the larger folks with Garands get shot at while the little dude crawls up and BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM.

Come to think of it, I've met three former SAW gunners, all under about six foot tall.

This is a real, and delicious, ice cream bar sold in Australia. They also sell a Unicorn coloured one which is super awesome.



For years, people would just snicker at "gaytime" until Streets released the "chocolate gaytime" which suddenly gave a whole new appreciation for the "golden" part. These days you can choose to have a "golden", "chocolate" or "salty" gaytime. I think they had a pina colada one too, but that's upsettingly off brand.

It's also worth noting that Gaytime's slogan is "It's hard to have a Gaytime on your own."

Nah. Through the tactical use of the famed "hold short person's head at arm's length so they can't reach you" maneuver, tall people will once again dominate the earth with their gangly long strides.

The only non-canon storylines I miss are the vidya james KOTOR and Jedi Knight.

The entire extended universe happened because George Lucas got even lazier running the franchise, and found out that finding some good scifi writers to supplement the story base kept the name afloat when he did not bother with the new movies or that TV show he kept mentioning for two decades, and later found out that allowing garbage-tier stuff was even cheaper way of doing it.

EDIT: Considering the current state, it is somewhat crazy to think that just twenty years ago there was a period when there really wasn't that much star wars. Three movies and three books, plus some games which were considered official canon.
