GWC Podcast #106

bkitty your my only hope!

Too bad “Suggestive Topiary” doesn’t fit on dogtags…

Depends…what kind of cookie?

Sesame Street leads to wisdom…wisdom leads to cookies…cookies lead to shortness of breath…shortness of breath LEADS TO THE DARKSIDE!

Sesame Street leads to wisdom… wisdom leads to cookies… cookies lead to exercise … exercise leads to strength … strength leads to inner peace … Cookie Monster leads to Frank Oz … Oz brings us Yoda.

The dark side is a lack of inner peace and love. When you are weak a cookie can help.

Great reading there… thanks much!

History B has a funny type. Recounting the Episode 2 showdown between Anakin & Obi and Count Dooku, it says “Anakin loses his hind.”

But the force remains strong with him; his midichlorian count is so high, he can still whoop ass, even with a prosthetic butt.

Nice !:smiley:
I was going to do something along these lines when I saw your earlier post…Glad you ran with it !!:smiley:

Very well said Audra. I would also like to add to this some thoughts Audra has expressed before that Chuck & Sean found surprising. The priliferation of women in the GWC community. It is because of the above explained attitude that many of my women friends who are huge science fiction/fantasy fans but reluctant to involve themselves with science fiction fandom in general. That is not to say there aren’t a number of women involved in fandom, it is quite the contrary. But sci-fi fandom can be quite intimidating & there are even more women that feel discouraged from being involved.

I have found that GWC in general is a much more friendly & welcoming place than most of the science fiction fandoms out there. They are willing to welcome new people who are not as knowledgeable as they are. They are also very patient with people asking questions that are obvious to the community but they may not know. The “know it alls” that a number of science fiction/fantasy communities seem to be filled with make them pretty hostile places to be in for newcomers. Also, women in general are not truly allowed in today’s society to get involved in the nuts and bolts of this type of entertainment. (It’s getting better) Sci-fi/Fantasy fans are still stereotypically seen as socially inept teenage boys too shy to leave the house. When you’re a girl growing up, especially a teenager, that’s not exactly the image you want others to have of you.

In short I have to credit Chuck & Sean for allowing the women here to be enthusiastic, silly & sometimes not as well versed as others. And Audra for being our voice in the discussion. It’s nice to realize you aren’t going to be ridiculed just because you don’t remember the designation of the Storm Trooper Luke & Han impersonated on the Death Star. But it’s kinda fun to know that there are those who do know.

Oh, I see the googley eyes now. He just looked too skinny to be to Cookie Monster. Cutting down on the simple carbs and increasing the fiber has been doing him some good…

don’t ask. seriously.

Oh heavens! You are in a sad state, if the above is true!

But hey- I am short enough! and I’ve worn a stormtrooper costume…

Incidentally…what is EU?!

You really sure you want to know?

Listen to the woman. Unless we’ve got you curious. But you know what that did to the cat.

European Union. What? I mean, hey - Dark Side of the Force!!!

Oh, I agonized over that one for some time now!

I finally did the right google search for internet slang, and got:

Expanded Universe (books, etc.)

I google just about everything I don’t understand!

google leads to knowledge- knowledge leads to power- power corrupts- OMG! I’ve gone to the DARKSIDE!!! :eek:

–sorry Leah!–

Oh, google certainly leads to the Dark Side, particularly picture google.

All that suggestive imagery.

<<drools>> :eek:

They sang the perennial 1980s hit “Da Butt”

I’m a little surprised that everyone’s been talking about them so much, when they haven’t had a hit in years.

Are you drooling for the Oreos or the suggestive white stuff in the cookies???:rolleyes:

I have to give you props for wearing abiker scout costume. I could never bring myself to go all out with a costume. I think about the only Costume I could consider wearing is a viper pilot uniform or maybe even reg. BSG military uniform.

Note to self: Do not do Google image search on “suggestive imagery”

Dammit Solai… Look what you made me do.

Got cookie?
