Real Life Smothers Brother's skit

Patricia Borges remembered to yell "Fire" when she fell into the chocolate.

"A woman pulled alive from the rubble of a Pennsylvania chocolate factory after an explosion that killed seven co-workers says flames had engulfed the building, and her arm, when the floor gave way beneath her. That might have been the end, if she hadn’t fallen into a vat of liquid chocolate.

The dark liquid extinguished her blazing arm, but Patricia Borges wound up breaking her collarbone and both of her heels."

Star Wars rumor

 keeping in mind that quite a lot of officially announced Disney Star Wars "plans" have failed to come to come to fruition:

https://arkhavencomics.com/2023/02/06/rumor-bomb-the-future-of-star-wars/

"They have come up with the most designed by committee future of Star Wars imaginable. This is the result of market testing, egos tied to malinvestment and of course the malinvestments themselves.

Consequently, the new big Star Wars movie is going to star five characters.

Ready? Because Disney don’t care if you aren’t

A. Rey

B. R2-D2

C. Chewbacca

D. ?? (new character that will be introduced in the TV shows)

E. (You guessed this one already) Baby Yoda.

Bob Iger had to go with something. In fact, anything. He can’t shitcan Kathleen Kennedy, not with a big proxy fight coming up. He has to express confidence in her despite her disasterous record because he was the one that never fired her."


i will note that, of the 4 named characters, Rey is the only one who "speaks".  all the rest of them canonically both do NOT speak intelligible English AND never have any sub-titles.  the only way the viewer knew what they were saying was from context or listening to the response one of the verbal characters makes to them.

R2-D2 was always given context by C-3PO.

Chewbacca was always given context by Han.

Baby Yoda was always given context by Mando.

yes, all of these characters sometimes had others contextualize their verbalizations ( Luke quite often although Han and Leia and C-3PO also usually had no problem communicating with these non- English characters ), but R2, Chewie and BY have never been more than adjuncts to the actual characters in the movies.


from this, we can extrapolate some consequences.

1 - Rey is going to be the contextualizer for the B, C and E characters

2 - IF Disney stays with the theme 

THEN D may well be Geode.

Hoosier Buckeyes

You will need a double boiler or a bowl large enough to sit over the top of a sauce pan 
Best to do this in the winter so you can set your trays outside to freeze the butter balls 


1 lb          Powdered Sugar
3 Cups     Rice Crispies
1 stick      Butter
18 oz       Jiffy smooth Peanut Butter
2 lbs        Nestle Dark Chocolate morsel chips

1 – Melt Butter 
2 – Mix Butter and Peanut Butter 
3 – Add Sugar to Butter mix 
4 – Roll into balls and freeze 
5 – Melt ½ Dark Chocolate in double boiler, add more as needed 
6 – Dunk frozen butter balls into Chocolate 
7 – Freeze balls again 
8 – Serve and enjoy 

 Another possibility is mincing up some Hazel or Walnut or something and adding that

Eliminating Gas engines is just a CONSPIRACY THEORY. Right?

well, if that's true, why are the environmental whackos openly talking about banning internal combustion engines on the road?

https://arstechnica.com/cars/2022/06/pulsed-plasma-ignition-that-boosts-fuel-efficiency-has-passed-testing/
"But with the best will in the world, it's going to be many years before countries like the US stop selling new internal combustion-powered vehicles and longer still until they're no longer allowed on our roads."

you get that?  it's not enough to encourage electric vehicles, the goal is to BAN THEM from the road.

what's even stupider is his attacking "internal combustion".  Hydrogen powered cars are ICE ( Internal Combustion Engine ) and they don't put out Carbon Dioxide at all.  but then, this is the typical level of applied science that you typically see from these morons.

ps - it's MY ROAD TOO, you useless Narcissistic piece of shit.
