Sometimes I see a news article and I’m too lazy to pass it on. Usually happens during the weekend where I dare to disconnect for minimal moments. I came across this shiz this weekend, decided it could wait, and now it’s the fiery hotness across the netter-webs. Rejected Star Wars  toys, and they’re all pretty awesome.

I love infographics. They always have some wanky information regarding treasured tropes in a slinky minimalist format.  Wayne Dorrington  has got A New Hope  locked down in one, and it’s everything you could hope for. Plus!, a dancing rhinoceros. Okay, I made that part up.

I just woke up from a nap. The time-stamp on my compu-deck is 9:45PM. The natural inference is that I’m going to stay up too late, not get enough sleep, and drag ass all day tomorrow.

This is going to be a problem.

So how will I combat the First World Problem of being overtired at work? Well, with huge scoops of entertainment that’ll either sharpen my mind or further dull it! And how will I tell the lovely OL patrons which mind-bullets I’ll be loading into my metaphor-pistol? Why, with this very post – the MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE!

C’mon, hop aboard and check out how I’ll be coping with the indentured servitude that is the forty-hour workweek. After you see which snake-oils I’m sipping on, hit up the comments section and show off your own curative elixirs.

1,2,3. 1,2,3. Keep it up.

Let me be upfront about this: I don’t believe this rumor. Why am I talking about it? Page hits, idiot! (Well yeah, that, but it’s Star Wars and I’m a sucker for it, despite my bile.)  Want to hear the probably untrue  rumor regarding time travel and The Force Gone Television?

So when George Lucas flaps his fat gums this week, I’m “I forgive you”, and I’m also “Fuck you, swine.”

I know what you’re thinking. Should the Multiverse ever crack open and a Death Star slither out through the chasm between time and space, there’s a good chance that Earth is fucked. But let’s get down to the nitty gritty. Just how much energy would Palpatine’s Death Machine need to obliterate our Blue Marble?
