Life advice: "Your first mistake was attacking Jackie Chan at all. Your second mistake was choosing to attack Jackie Chan in a room where there was 'stuff'. The exact nature of the 'stuff' is irrelevant; you're still going down in a crescendo of clonks, thwacks and ka-bongs..."

If someone got hold of an extra PS5 and offered it online for £50- first person to send in and tell me why they deserve it gets it- the chances are they wouldn't get any replies as everybody would automatically assume its a scam...

Based on what I have seen on Facebook, you will get flooded with replies.

Drat... It'd take more than that one towel if I removed their head...

Joys of a romantic relationship:

"Hey, you need to get a fresh towel next time you take a shower. I cut my ankle shaving and it's bleeding a lot so I'm using your towel to staunch it."

Because the gun wasn't a special effect, and could have clonked the actor!

You mean those weren't real bullets?!?

I'm glad you never told 10-year old me that.

Next you'll be telling some story about the jolly fat guy.

That reminded me of the old Superman TV show. Superman would stand there while the bullets bounced off, but ducked aside when the gun was thrown at him.

We were watching a Star Wars marathon the other day, and I started thinking about some other weird stuff. And I understand the answer is "because the script calls for it".

In "Empire", when Vader is battling Luke in Cloud City (before the "father" reveal), Vader is using The Force to hurl objects at Luke. Why couldn't he just hurl Luke out the window, and end the "threat" right there?

Because Vader wasn't trying to kill him. His goal was to impress upon him the futility of fighting him, to scare him and make him angry, so that he could turn him to the Dark Side, then bring him back before the Emperor as a new apprentice.

A Taco Bell run this morning (really wanted a breakfast crunchwrap) had me wondering just how frequently people go through fast-food drive-through in sleepwear. I didn't, but I was tempted to not bother with jeans and sweatshirt, just a modest nightgown.

I worked in food service years ago. I've seen people come through a drive-thru shirtless. Men, not women.

Saw a large fellow come through once where his stomach was touching the steering wheel of his car.
