I like the second one with the pimped out lights. Just add some spinnnahs and a bad ass sound system and we'll be ready to cruise for chicks!

Let's put some Hellfires on this baby and start hitting terrorists from outer space !

you wouldnt need Hellfires.  a kinetic strike with something the same weight would do a lot more damage.

If a magnanimous being with an awe inspiring magnetic personality steps off that thing speaking of the False Emperor and other heresies then we're doomed.

QuoteFor those of you that just tuned in, the Pinedale Shopping Mall has just been bombed with live turkeys.

That is quite possibly the funniest television episode ever.

It was the funniest thing that I had even seen on network TV, at the time.  Pound-for-pound, IMHO, it was eclipsed by the episode of the Chappelle Show where Dave played the blind KKK leader.
