I was bitten by a spider when I was a kid (maybe 5 yrs old). Being Aussie and well informed on the whole "spiders are dangerous" thing, I ran to mum straight away and told her it was a big black spider. Immediately thinking FUNNELWEB (which have been known to kill children) she panicked and rushed me to the hospital... turns out I was fine. You could see the fang marks in my foot, but it was something non-venomous. Lucky me I guess.
I used to be able to pick up Daddy Long Legs and kiss their mouth as a kid....now I crawl onto the ceiling if I see one...even if the ceiling is THE SKY.
Kids just have no sense of their own mortality. I'm way too much of a pansy now to do the same stuff I did as a child.
Do they call them "daddy long legs" in German too?
We don't have those in Germany. I have only ever seen 3 kinds of spiders out in the wild. One of them looks similar but isn't the same. We call those similar ones "Weberknecht".
Would you be annoyed if you where fighting a main villain and someone else killed him and or her and never told you. So your waiting for the next attack like a dope!

This would literally translate as weaver's servant.
I once heard somebody call them "Opa Langbein" which would be Grandpa Longleg. But I guess that is a local name, as it is more common in my region to call them Weberknecht or Schuster (meaning shoemaker or cobbler).
It's officially summer. The weather is hot, everyone is headed off to the amusement park, and I think I hear the pedo-mobile (ice cream truck) coming up the street.
But I joke about the old men in white vans who sell sweets to little kids.
Since static noise on TV is radiation from the Big Bang we should get a million TVs turn them onto static and blow them up at the same time! It will recreate the Big Bang!

Except let's call it the Exploding Kablooie this time.
Unless you can get your hands on the 2006 Editions, which had the laserdisc transfers of the theatrical releases. Only Star Wars movies I watch are the bonus discs of those releases.
But those are not widescreen; they're letterboxed (ie. 4:3 image with black bars) leading to inferior image quality.
It's true, though, that the best options are either to go with those or else to find a good fan-edit that tries to get back to the originals (such as Harmy's DeSpecialized Editions.) I like Adywan's Revisited editions, myself, but he is still working on Empire at the moment (plus, they're more like how the SE's should have been than trying to recreate the original versions.)
Daishi, in my opinion, the important parts of the Original Trilogy to get right when watching them for the first time are: OT before PT; Han shot first; no Jabba in the Mos Eisley hangar; Lapti Nek; and Yub Nub.
EDIT: I forgot.... Don't watch the Blurays. Never watch the Blurays. I entirely forgot about that "No... NOOO..." bit added to ROTJ in the Blurays. *sigh* It makes me cringe just thinking about it.
Thank you very much Peebles. It was certainly one of the hardest things i've ever done. I'd been smoking for nearly ten years so it was good to kick it in the buttocks and to be finally be high on life! Also glue.

Dude, I've lived through antenna TV(I'm not THAT old nor is Canada behind lol, we just had basic cable most of my life and for quite a few of my younger years, yes, we only had antenna for a bit). They are easily watchable. Yes, they are a bit grainy and for the kids who have grown up with HD, yes, they will look awful.

We were at Best Buy and I had a gift card for 50 bucks, and it was one sale off 15 dollars. I bought the Blu Rays.

Do they call them "daddy long legs" in German too?
(I mean it feels unnatural to me I guess. Where is the emotional connection?)
EDIT: Or amphibians!?!
Umm... Having really long legs?
(And getting your bits stuck in the opposite's genders sometimes during intense sessions of hanky panky! XD)
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.
Go go gadget legs!

Its... pretty awesome!
(<3 You Patrick Stewart!
Let me be the first here to say...
What?
Whaaat!!?

If this is true, then this could be the greatest or worst thing ever.

I keep a tortoise. It's cool. He's a tortoise.
You know where you stand with tortoises.
Please let it be best... Please let it be best...
Unlike those snooty rich turtles!

Mister Softee creeps me out.

Woop woop! Go Kurt.
Cooking up some smokies is nice also.
GERMANY, MY PARADISE.
What the hell is wrong with a Ridley-Andross team-up? Nothing.
Congratulations! You are now indeed, a sir.

Bully!
How are you finding after meals and drinking cravings? I found them really bad, I just started shoving gum and sweets in my mouth
Keep it up, faegs are far far too expensive, and quite frankly haven't been cool since I quit.
How long you been quitted for now? Must be a while!
Six or seven-ish months, I think. I quit before Christmas and was a grumpy
I bet Kurts managing a lot better though

Well done, Jedders! Mad props, etc.
Thank you very much Peebles.

Stop staring at me through the window and knocking!
I'm not letting you in.
Just give it up already! >:/
...please...
The sinister red arrow is pointing at a list.
[Insert spooky music]
It is a list of names.
[Music gets louder]
Your name is at the top of the list.
[Shrieking noise]
Where am I going with this? Um, I forgot. It's been a rough week.
1) Why are you paying money to George for ruining Star Wars more than he has?
2) I pity you, sir, as the scene where Vader kills the Emperor will never be the same for you again.
I wouldn't buy the Blurays even if they were on sale for $15.
But congrats, Kurt, once again. Don't think it'll be easy from now on!!
