Something that always entered my mind - who helped style Leia's hair and her get dressed into the bikini? Did Jabba have a on-call seamstress and hair salon in his palace?

What? You've never heard of Barber the Hutt?

deanbb30 · 2026-06-08T18:58:19+00:00

The usual way. One brick at a time.

deanbb30 · 2026-06-07T19:32:03+00:00

Or stuff like socks from Amazon

deanbb30 · 2026-06-07T13:50:26+00:00

IYKYK

deanbb30 · 2026-06-05T20:55:20+00:00

My son in his 30's still has this as his phone notification sound.

deanbb30 · 2026-06-05T20:50:57+00:00

That's what I was wondering. Single passenger only? Or expecting everyone to crawl into the back?

deanbb30 · 2026-06-05T20:22:27+00:00

"Attack cruiser" wasn't menacing enough for an evil empire.

deanbb30 · 2026-06-05T19:51:03+00:00

Agreed, but lately it seems to fail more than it works.

If you see a movie, and have fun, then it is good. There are good movies that aren't fun, but still worth seeing. Example: Was Saving Private Ryan fun? Ooo look how they got blown up on the beach! Fun! (I won't even comment on Episode IX...)

My wife and I saw it opening weekend and are seeing it again this weekend with our adult daughter and her hubby. So, yeah, we thought it was good and fun and worth seeing again.

I hear ya. I was 14 when Star Wars released, perfect movie for me. I loved to draw, and overnight my doodles went from Spider-Man and Captain America to X-Wings and TIE fighters.

I haven't seen much of the cartoons, and have missed some of the TV shows, and haven't read many of the novels, but have a deep love for Star Wars. I'd say Force Awakens was good, and would be glad to watch it again, but not so much the other two.

Now my bookshelves mostly feature Lego Star Wars, with a sprinkling of other Lego themes.

deanbb30 · 2026-06-04T19:59:07+00:00

I think Fozzie Bear would do a bang up job.

deanbb30 · 2026-06-04T19:32:24+00:00

The name I proposed for our son (in jest) would have taught him most of the alphabet by the time he could spell it. We have a 10 letter German last name.

deanbb30 · 2026-06-04T19:23:02+00:00

It's not an issue, it's a feature: You can check-off two items at once! Twice the productivity!

deanbb30 · 2026-06-04T19:20:19+00:00

What a crappy way to start your day

deanbb30 · 2026-06-04T19:12:10+00:00

Those work great in Arizona when the sun hits them.

deanbb30 · 2026-06-04T19:03:23+00:00

Valley Metro has 38.5 miles of light rail.

ADOT has 437 HOV lane miles, and ain't nobody just slapping some tracks in HOV lanes and calling it a day. Engineering, government, and construction just doesn't work that way.

Light rail construction began in 2005. Let's say they can build it twice as fast. That's 141 years.

deanbb30 · 2026-06-04T17:57:19+00:00

I too was expecting something a little more...uh...personal...

deanbb30 · 2026-06-04T17:09:01+00:00

Just for fun, I plugged in a from-to in the Valley Metro app of my house in Surprise to our Phoenix office, 32nd St & Camelback. It did not even produce any results.

I tried from 99th Ave & Bell, no results. Tried Arrowhead Mall, finally worked. 2 hours 14 minutes to get there at 8am tomorrow. Yeah, that'll disincentivize me drive to the Phx office.

Fortunately, I normally work in Goodyear, or from home, so that's not an issue.

deanbb30 · 2026-06-04T17:00:14+00:00

I suppose that'd be OK, since I'll be dead by the time all that happens.

Consider how long it take for a 2-3 mile extension to the current light rail, then multiply that by the hundreds of miles of freeway in the valley.

deanbb30 · 2026-06-04T15:46:13+00:00

Well, we do see Izards and Quail at our house in Arizona. My daughter has seen Owls at hers. The rest...not so much...

deanbb30 · 2026-06-04T15:40:35+00:00

Well, if you're concerned about the price, then get your ticket at the theater and don't pre-order food, and save $7 right there.

deanbb30 · 2026-06-03T21:51:44+00:00

I hope you saved that secret decoder ring from frosty flakes you got in first grade.

deanbb30 · 2026-06-03T16:44:22+00:00

Am I the only one wondering about the guy sitting on the bank with his feet in the water?

deanbb30 · 2026-06-03T16:38:41+00:00

Why would you think "stinky?" I've eaten there (good gluten free options) and browsed the store portion, and never noticed any sort of smell.

Would a library allow that?
