Those of us justifiably embittered by the ridiculous cancellation of 'Firefly' are long inured to disappointment and heartbreak. Your concerns, Meeks, are the mere sulking of a child.
Dosomefinkland (CP) In a move that surprised no one, George Lucas has hired corporate legal support from the offices of Disneyland and Microsoft in order to serve notice that dosomefink's political forum has stolen valuable corporate intellectual property. An objectional phrase applied publicly to describe the forum, while accurate, has been branded by Lucas "an obvious attempt to cash in on my talent, success, fame, good looks, and swinging ways with the ladies." Asked where he would find legal representation to fight this latest development, the Master of Dosomefinkland, known to friends as "Joe", simply remarked "the usual hive of scum and villainy."

Marlow has conflated two distinct lines, of course. Luke to Wedge Antilles in the pre-attack briefing: "It's not impossible - I used to bullseye Womp Rats in my T-16 back home; they're not much bigger than two meters." and Luke to Biggs Darklighter as they dive in to their trench run: "It'll be just like Beggars Canyon back home!" Sheesh.
Gettysburg, Gettysburg, Gettysburg. Always with the Gettysburg. Why does Bobby Lee always get the headlines.? What about Vicksburg, eh? What was that, chopped liver? General U.S. Grant
Sorry to have bored you with these historical observations on the climactic 3rd day at Gettysburg. Thought it might be a nice break given the date. Oh well.
On the 3d, during that terrific fire of artillery, which preceded the gallant but unsuccessful assault of Pickett's Division on our line, it was discovered that Stuart's cavalry was moving to our right, with the evident intention of passing to the rear, to make a simultaneous attack there. What the consequence of the success of this movement would have been, the merest tyro in the art of war will understand. When opposite our right, Stuart was met by General Gregg, with two of his brigades (Colonels McIntosh and Irvin Gregg), and Custer's Brigade of the Third Division, and, on a fair field, there was another trial between two cavalry forces, in which most of the fighting was done in the saddle, and with the trooper's favorite weapon-the sabre. - - Major General D. McM. Gregg
