What, because it's so mysterious?  Give us a hint.

Up yours, old man.  Do your homework.

Hey!  Manners, son, manners.  Why should I care about your secret, anyway?

Phooey.  The hint you asked for is in this classic video.

That Mark Hamil is Luke Skywalker's cousin?

How is that even possible?



Wait - your secret is that Mark Hamil is Luke Skywalker's cousin? That Pigs in Space is hootful and awesome, albeit funnier when I was 13?

No, grampaw, it's not about washed up superstars or Miss Piggy.  (But Miss Piggy is a washed-up superstar.)

I'll give you an easier one to chew on, though; if I ever meet Annie Potts, I'm going to say "I loved you in Corvette Summer."  What does that have to do with the video?




Since he'll never get it, anyone else want to try?

My gawd...that rivals the christmas special.

Post by: Buster's Uncle on October 22, 2012, 01:14:30 AM

Pigs in Space? or the squabbling?

I beg to differ about the former.  Pigs in Space was lame on purpose, unlike the Christmas Special, and that Star Wars 2-parter was the best Pigs in Space evah.

The level of Lucas' pandering.  Seriously, dancing Chewie?

Title: Re: Guess my secret
Post by: Buster's Uncle on October 22, 2012, 02:50:18 AM

I guess you're right; nothing happened there without George "Lawyers" Lucas' actual cooperation. 

But man - it's Pigs in Space.  It would have been very, very wrong of them to have done classy, smart comedy in a Pigs in Space skit.

I've been thinking about a Alpha Centauri: IN SPAAAACE! scenario/faction set for YEARS now...

Title: Re: Guess my secret
Post by: Unorthodox on October 22, 2012, 02:05:23 PM

I get pigs in space. I LOVE pigs in space.  And the first half was pretty much what I expected.  Maybe the star wars song and dance is just bringing back nightmares of the "life day" BS.

Title: Re: Guess my secret
Post by: Buster's Uncle on October 22, 2012, 02:15:20 PM

You definitely have a point.  Once they got out on Koosbane, the pacing/tone was off and it got painful to watch.

Is anyone ever going to post on topic and guess?   ;clenchedteeth

Post by: Buster's Uncle on October 23, 2012, 09:15:17 PM

Mark Hamill stared in Corvette Summer along with Annie Potts circa 1980.  A charming little movie.

Ask me a hard one.

I had a Pigs in Space lunchbox. The steel ones tey used to sell. Damn I am getting old.

My estimate of your age just went up a few years.

You bought a corvette and pimped it to look like the Starship Enterprise?

Title: Re: Guess my secret

No, the 'vette looks like the spacship SwineTrek.  Try again.

"Stapled Drone"?  What's that, and why is it under my name?

Title: Re: Guess my secret
Post by: Buster's Uncle on November 07, 2012, 08:33:21 PM

Because you act like a Drone in need of a good nerve stapling, young man.

Actually, I was just testing something.  It won't last.

Title: Re: Guess my secret
Post by: Buster's Uncle on November 07, 2012, 08:50:10 PM

Fixed.

Title: Re: Guess my secret
Post by: Unorthodox on November 07, 2012, 09:11:18 PM

Can I have the nerve stapling?

Seriously, staple me before I go all gangsta.

Post by: Buster's Uncle on November 07, 2012, 09:17:53 PM

You wouldn't like being nerve stapled, man.

I can throw you in the usergroup if you really like, mind - there's no actual effect for now, other than the user title, but it's intended for bots when I get around to it.

I think "Talent" really fits you...

Title: Re: Guess my secret
Post by: Unorthodox on November 07, 2012, 09:19:32 PM

Figured it was an infraction type system. 

Why put bots in a special group other than "banned"?

Title: Re: Guess my secret
Post by: Unorthodox on November 07, 2012, 09:23:31 PM

And did AC ever really identify what, exactly WAS nerve stapling?  Other than "an atrocity". 

Man I loved playing Yang and stapling the drones...

Title: Re: Guess my secret
Post by: Buster's Uncle on November 07, 2012, 09:27:11 PM

No.  There's an okay thread speculating on that subject going at CFC.



sisko doesn't see the point of banning bots when none ever manage to post.  I had to do some agitating to get a 'special' usergroup.  I hope we can figure a way to get the group off the default memberlist.

So, do you want in while there's no downside?  I'm game.

Just messin around. 

IP ban the bots, I say. 

Title: Re: Guess my secret
Post by: Buster's Uncle on November 07, 2012, 09:45:37 PM

I did a IP ban three a few days ago - when a bot keeps coming back and making new accounts, that's just too blame much to put up with.  I'm not searching for them -yet- but when I see multiple-memberbot IPs, they're GONE.

Title: Re: Guess my secret
Post by: Buster's Uncle on November 07, 2012, 09:49:59 PM

...BTW?  I could totally create membergroups with funny titles if anyone wants one one to be put into...

Creepy Halloween Man.  Pumpkin Carver.  Stuff like that. [shrugs]  Doesn't take long, and we don't mind handing out free forum goodies if it'll make folks happy.

Maybe, in spirit of the game itself we can determine our "faction" this way. We do a sort of quiz thing, but depending on the answers it gives us who we align the most with ideologically, and the combined answers we give determines our faction.

Title: Re: Guess my secret
Post by: BU Admin on January 22, 2013, 10:17:08 PM

Nobody's even trying?  Sheesh.  Laaaame.

Title: Re: Guess my secret
Post by: BU Admin on August 06, 2013, 08:27:27 PM

Well, THIS joke is ruined.  Nobody thought it was funny but me, going by the lack of anyone playing along/humoring me.  But I morn for dropping the pretense I wasn't arguing with myself, and I really liked the goofyface avatar.

Last chance to guess my secret....

You like moving around in tights?
(a cross of your renaissance fair's days and the movie 'men in tights')

Title: Re: Guess my secret
Post by: Buster's Uncle on August 06, 2013, 09:58:57 PM

Nope.

You're overthinking it.  (And I'm wearing shorts and a t-shirt.  I rock a pair of tights, having, as I do, great legs, but tights're embarrassing.)

Title: Re: Guess my secret
Post by: JarlWolf on August 10, 2013, 01:31:38 AM

You secretly have a race of pygmies in your closet slaving away to find obscure articles and news bulletins?

Also, as for a custom title thing, if you feel like giving me one, surprise me. I am not one for giving myself titles, find its unnecessary. And nicknames have to be given by others to feel right.

Title: Re: Guess my secret
Post by: Buster's Uncle on August 10, 2013, 01:34:11 AM

Nope; still overthinking it.  Keep trying, though.

Title: Re: Guess my secret
Post by: JarlWolf on August 10, 2013, 05:36:54 AM

Oooo... put me in my favourite faction huh?

Not a bad idea, not bad at all. I approve  ;b;

Title: Re: Guess my secret
Post by: Buster's Uncle on August 10, 2013, 03:07:44 PM

It seemed so much more elegant than "Cranky Old Roosky-Commie"...

Title: Re: Guess my secret
Post by: JarlWolf on August 10, 2013, 09:37:22 PM

 ;lol

But then again I don't think me and elegant are synonymous. I think it works though.
