Just more proof George Lucas is a complete asshole.

These people spend all their money(hard earned or not) so they can live out in the Californian country, then this jerk comes along and tries to build a gaudy movie studio in their back yards to pollute the world with more of his awful movies. Then when they disagree he becomes as small as he actually is and decided to use these poor poor-people to settle a grudge against his neighbors.

Seriously what good could possibly be in it for the poor. Not like there is a huge economy around the Lucas ranch where they will be able to find work.

My old university department had an undergraduate lounge with several couches in it. Any student in the department could get a key to the building. Some of the students who lived far away would just sleep there, shower at the school gym, and then go home on the weekends.

Not surprising. I have seen videos of people injecting themselves in the face, breast, and rear with syringes of RTV silicon. Yes the stuff usually found around your bathtub.

My old neighbors dog used to bark continuously if someone was outside. It was so loud and persistent that I lost the use of my deck and back yard because as soon as I opened the door that wretched dog would start barking at me not stop, even if I were out there for hours.

Even though I didn't want to play the bitchy neighbor it got to the point where I had to get the neighborhood association involved.

"And the wheel," said the Captain, "what about this wheel thingy? It sounds a terribly interesting project."
"Ah," said the marketing girl, "well, we're having a little difficulty there."
"Difficulty?" exclaimed Ford. "Difficulty? What do you mean, difficulty? It's the single simplest machine in the entire Universe!"
The marketing girl soured him with a look. "All right Mr. Wiseguy," she said, "you're so clever, you tell us what color it should be."

Used to have this system at my school

It was wonderful when it worked.

Unfortunately we live in such a world that the people who can't read would set the thing on fire, or at least hit it with a baseball bat from a moving car as soon as it was erected.

I used to have this real bad. I only got over it during college when I had to live in a small room with another person.

But it still comes back to me from time to time. Just today the sound of one of my current room mates making dinner almost made me put my fist through the wall.

I am glad I have a name for it now, though.

Perhaps it was banned because kids kept ripping out the page with the giant drawing of the exterior of a set of female mammary glands on it.

I use the same blade at work to cut melons.

And next time someone asks me, a minimum wage employee with tuition bills, to help feed starving children in whereever, I will tell them no, but I know who can.

You can look up his name on a map of Arabia.

I have never...

I can not even tell you how upset this makes me.

I mean I am glad he probably spread the wealth a little buy hiring the labor, but he could have done something useful.

I hope his monument gets washed into the sea

Amazing, truly awesome.

Thanks for the post

If only he used an English longbow instead of a multi thousand dollar composite with every attachment possible bolted on.

Anyway great shot

Okay.

So some guy scales up a pneumatic impact wrench and gets on Neatorama.

Hold on I have to go invent something terribly derivative in order to be famous.

Compressed gas engines have been around for a very long time. And a few people along the way have made cars and motorcycles with them.
