Just a reminder don't ever mention "poke"Celidwen wrote:Remind me never to mention "poke" again
Thank you, guys!
I do now!Celidwen wrote:Hello, everyone! I'm Celidwen... Which you probably already know... But oh well.
Anyone who uses self-deprecating humor well is doing fine by meI'd just like to say hello... I'm not making a good first impression, am I? Sorry.
That's a good place to start!Well, a friend of mine recommended this site if I liked sci-fi and debating. Well... I like sci-fi, and I like watching debates, but I'm not very good at debating myself. So, I'd like to learn how on this site, and just have some fun.
Given the way in which you express yourself, I think you'll take to understanding the weak induction fallacies like a duck to water.I know what you mean. I have a bad temper, and I've flamed some decent folks that didn't deserve two broadsides and a superlaser shot (trust me, such lingo will become very familiar the longer you're hereI'll confess, I like both Star Trek and Star Wars, equally. But I've read through the fights that have broken out around here over it, and I don't really like flaming, to anyone. So, for my first topic, I'll pick something that hopefully won't make anyone angry:
). I oftentimes felt bad about it.Slack measured and cut at six feet. I hope that's enough...Which is your favorite sci-fi satire and why? "Space Balls" or "Galaxy Quest"?
I'm putting this here because "Space Balls" basically makes fun of SW, while "Galaxy Quest" pokes fun at ST. And, I don't think it fits anywhere else.
So... Will you cut me a little slack, being new and all? Thank you.
Damn! I didn't think you could read the mind of a Sith Lord!Darth Wong wrote:Spaceballs' humour is sophomoric at best. It's the sort of comedy that has the word "screwball" on the advertising copy, in which every character in the movie knows he's a comedy character in a movie, and breaks the fourth wall on a regular basis. Childish humour like naming a character "Barf" is the standard fare for this film. It's typical of Mel Brooks' humour, which peaked with "Blazing Saddles" and has been sliding downhill ever since.

In other words: Grey Six is Ysanne Isard's codename??jegs2 wrote: Grey Six is the head of the Imperial Intelligence Agency.
Well, I shouldn't be saying this, but Grey Six is really a codename for the highest-ranking intelligence officer in the IIA. The reason the codeword is used is because nobody (except perhaps for the Emperor) knows the true identity of Grey Six. Very few have ever even seen him (or her) -- sort of like Charlie from Charlie's Angels (in a vague sort of comparison anyway). I think it would be safe to say that Isard doesn't even know the true identity of Grey Six and would prefer to maintain that ignorance...Simon H.Johansen wrote:In other words: Grey Six is Ysanne Isard's codename??
That was my favorite part.... "We are watching now, now. Everything that is happening now, is happening now."neoolong wrote:Don't forget that they even have a video of Space Balls in Space Balls.

LOL!!Raoul Duke, Jr. wrote:*Ahem*. It is rumoured that the codename Grey Six was actually the second codename assigned to this individual. The inidivual in question is rumoured to have discovered the wormhole to this "Federation" and subsequently discovered a game developed for this foreign civilization's early computer systems. This game was known as "Rainbow Six." This was the original codename.
However, Grew Six was subsequently chosen after the individual in question discovered his subordinates chuckling over some information they had found in an archaic database which described the term, "Raindow" as being alternately a designator for a large society of unwashed indigent socialists or homosexuals. While Grey Six had no objection to either, the associative references were creating insubordination issues, and complicating his love life.
Someone should die over that...

The typos are irritating, though.
I thought that Isard was leader of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau for some time??

The official leader to be sure, but things are often not what they seem, especially in the Imperial halls of power and influence...Simon H.Johansen wrote:I thought that Isard was leader of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau for some time??

That's what happens when you jump from lowly field agent to leader of the entire bureau, just by secretly orchestrating the execution of your father.jegs2 wrote:The official leader to be sure, but things are often not what they seem, especially in the Imperial halls of power and influence...Simon H.Johansen wrote:I thought that Isard was leader of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau for some time??
