hmmmm. Life is paralleling the Dune series again. Herbert was a freaking modern day Nostradamus; even if they did just pick reoccurring human themes

I can't believe that "The Star Wars Holiday Special" (with Bea Arthur) didn't crack the top ten!

Falling Bears

clicked arround on the website those falling bears are on... there's some weird stuff in there.

Cthulhu Santa found, covered in chocolate. Get it off eBay before it melts!

And... this thread made me feel so old...
(but where is the picture?)

Or... if you're looking for something in which to burn your $mas bonus, you can have a baby bear whatever name you wish!
Let's see... 3Jane & Armitage sound good...

For a minute there, fuldog, I thought that was a link to a really crass Neimann Marcus Xmas gift of some sort ('cept that they typically come in twos) involving a captive-bred ursus.

Must've been indigestion on my part.

How to Kill a Mockingbird

That is great Dis, did you notice this looks just like the computer screen from Wargames? I bet if you had hit enter it would have said, "Would You Like To Play Global Thermonuclear War?"

What World War II leader are you?

You resemble...

Harold Alexander
Field Marshal Harold Alexander, (December 10, 1891 - June 16, 1969) was a British military commander and Field Marshal, notably during World War II as the commander of the 15th Army Group.

You are a leader of exceptional ability. Not afraid to get your hands dirty, you are adored by your troops and subordinates but your peers or superiors can sometimes perceive you as too urbane and lacking authority. Your people skills make it easy for you to form partnerships across borders.

Yamashita Tomoyuki
Yamashita Tomoyuki (Nov 8, 1885 - February 23, 1946) was one of the most formidable generals of the Japanese Army. His 30,000 soldiers took 80,000 Allied soldiers prisoner at the Fall of Singapore and for this he became known as the "Tiger of Malaya."

You are a diligent, ambitious and determined leader who always remains completely loyal to your superiors. Your strict discipline contributes to your ability to be an aggressive strategist and you will always be the last man standing. Your high standards can seem daunting for your followers who will never feel sufficient.

and judging from the pic
I have quite a way with the ladies

The funny thing is questions 4 and 5 seem to have no impact on the answer.

Great, I get to be an Axis guy.

Gunichi Mikawa (August 29 1888 - February 25) was an admiral in the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II.

Able to take even the worst of circumstances and turn them into your favour, you are known for your determination, good luck and control of any situation. Unfortunately your way of following through what you have set out to do is not always done in the best way and for that you have many critics.

I was also the Tiger of Malaya.

In further news, there's been a bit of debate about whether the proposed British law banning religious vilification will include Jedi Knights:

Mr. Gordon Prentice (Pendle) (Lab): I am still perplexed because there is no definition of religion. On the 2001 census form, 5,015 people in Sheffield gave Jedi knight as their religion. I hate "Star Wars", so should I be worried?

Mr. Blunkett {Home Secretary}: If someone incited people because of their love of "Star Wars", or against people with a love of "Star Wars", they would be caught under existing law, but not in terms of religion. That is the whole point"”

Hansard

Presumably, Blunkett is just referring to existing "incitement to crime" laws.

One blogger's response:

Right. Fucking well bring it on. Jedi knights are evil. Jedi Knights were always evil, from the time they killed Jesus to the present day. Jedi Knights want nothing more than to seduce your twelve year old daughter. Jedi Knights smell of wee. Anyone who says different is a scoundrel, traitor and apologist for the Jediknightofascists. Hunt them down and beat them like rabid dogs. Let's round up all the Jedi Knights and throw them into a pit of burning sulphur. Then let's hang the remains from lampposts and cavort around them singing gleefully. Erase the pollution of Jedi Knighthood.
