Top Gun

Exploriens, Blacktron, Ice Planet...I loved all those space Lego themes. Plus the bigass pirate ship buried in mounds of dust on the shelf above my bed. I just bought my first Lego in 15 years, the Ideas Saturn V rocket set. Goddamn thing is a solid meter tall.

Save-scumming man.

We had that too...and the scorpion...and probably one or two others. Shit, apparently we were obsessed.

@Phillies Oh man, I forgot about the mountain! We had both of those.

Yes, I'm saying that said model was fuckawful, and at least they're moving away from it.

The snake one kicked ass. We had another one that like this big lava monster dude with a claw hand.

That Sun/Moon look is still fuckawful.

Oh shit, Pirates of Dark Water.

Holy shit so did I! My dad said he had to look goddamn everywhere for it that Christmas because it was completely sold out. I'm just pissed at myself for chucking all of my old Ninja Turtles figures ages ago. We even had the van.

What a cuck.

Those days are traditionally days when people are doing things with family/friends. Even if they're back at home at that time, they're probably not going to give a shit about watching shows. Or have you never noticed that even major networks suspend show premieres until after the new year?

Yes playing marathons of a particular show on weekends when just about no one is around to watch is totally a horrible thing.

Having multiple quotes in one post makes for a far more readable thread than seeing one person spew out a bunch of separate one-liner posts in a row. That was fucking obnoxious even back on Lithium.

I'm not sure how anyone thinks a minute is too long. If you're making multiple posts in that short of a time frame, you should have mashed them all into one post anyway instead of being a lazy fuck.

Canadian whiskey isn't real whiskey.

You're from the 80s too, you creepy fuck.

You could probably get a cheap used one on eBay.

No. No one anywhere is excited.

That explains so much.

Winter's awesome.

Oh gee, I don't know, maybe because there are electronics in it to detect when the rover had touched down? Maybe because having your rover's legs overheat and potentially buckle on impact would be a really bad thing? Tell me, what's your experience with materials science to determine whether or not the lander should have had insulation there?

All for it. Hey this is cool.

...how the fuck did you pass high school? That. Isn't. Tinfoil. It's a thermally-reflective material. Light wavelengths that are reflected aren't absorbed. The material was designed to reflect wavelengths in the infrared part of the spectrum, i.e. heat. And yes, very small micrometeoroids could be stopped by material of that thickness. That's exactly what it's engineered to do. It couldn't stop anything particularly large, but pretty much nothing could, so it was considered a calculated risk. Seriously, what level of education do you have? You are hopelessly unqualified to have an informed opinion about this. This is why we should have mandatory IQ tests for voting. Right goddamn here.

Goku's only good because he suffered brain damage as an infant, and Vegeta would still be a murderous asshole if he wasn't completely pussy-whipped.
