Chris has some weirdo christian on gmail complaining that bloggers only produce silly, unlettered rants that don't add anything to considered opinion or mainstream society. To counter this I offer my thoughts on a few salient issues.
The Rebel Alliance seems pretty racist. Not as bad as as using the death star to blow up Alderaan mind you, but compared to us, they are not very evolved.
"Will somebody get this big walking carpet out of my way?" That, ladies and gentlemen, I call snide. I guess it just reflects the evolving moral zeitgeist (from a long time ago in a galaxy far far away).
On the other hand, the Mon Calamari do seem to be the only ones commanding starfleets these days. Maybe its a rare example of the dominant culture rather condescendingly "giving" the under culture one cool trait that apparently only they can do well. You know, like man "Humans, can't command starfleets." Maybe they could make a movie with that as their title, or even a whole series of Calamarixploitation such films. Of course inevitably we would witness the rise of so-called "Hulamaris," rich kids that, much to their parents chagrin, reject the traditional, WASHish pursuits like lightsaber duelling, and instead only want to command enormous
fleets of organically shaped hyperdrive equipped capital ships like those no-good ne-er-do-well's who always ask them for money on the street.
The only upside to all this is that we could eventually look forward to another movie about a particularly talented Hulamari, rising from humble, human trash beginnings, butting his head against an entrenched establishment of Mon Calamaris, with their own set of prejudices, and their own little club blocking ascension to those deemed "not fish enough" -oops sorry, did I offend your liberal sensibilities? I forgot that use of the `f' word was a faux pas now, in the politically correct straitjacket of a world in which we are now imprisoned. Anyway, such a movie would really make one think. And it can't be worse than the prequels.
In other news, Kim and I are going to Malaysia tommorrow. This time we will try to keep the weight down.

Have a good trip!
Cheers mate!
What the fuck is with the fat guy on Lost? I mean, what the fuck? He's been on a friggin' Deserted island for how long? How the fuck has he not lost any weight?
Sometimes I just get the feeling that Lost is a little divorced from reality.
Did you ever stop to think that maybe the Mons Calamari are just genetically and culturally suited to commanding Starfleets, being closer to their actual-Calamari cousins than to proper evolved Talking-Dolphins-in-Robot-Suits?!!?!
Also, why is it that whenever other people use the "In which I" title convention, whatever follows is asinine drivel? That doesn't mean that I don't like it, of course.
Also, who would win in a fight between a Mons Calamari and an actual calamari?
Clearly someone failed to read this post.
Maybe "trite" and "farcial" would have been better words than "asinine".
He's banal and facile, he's a fat waste of space.
Everybody sing that bit.
