He regularly sues the Roadrunner (and the WB for putting him in those situations), and gets massive settlements as a result. Understandably, ACME has some of the best lawyers in the world and provides them to Wil E. Coyote, being their best customer by far.
Poor Mr. Coyote just isn’t very bright. When he complains about Acme’s breach of warranty, rather than demanding his money back he keeps falling for the offer of accepting store credit, which he then uses to obtain more stuff, which also turns out to be defective. Acme has some really slick talking sales people.
In Buffyverse again, how was Angel able to be the head of Wolfram & Hart’s L.A. branch when he wasn’t a lawyer, California having a statute which prohibits non-lawyers from heading up up law firms.
Sorry for the hijack, but here’s the actual quote:
Obi-Wan: I have something here for you. Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough, but your uncle wouldn’t allow it. He feared you might follow old Obi-Wan on some damn fool idealistic crusade like your father did. It’s your father’s lightsaber. This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or as random as a blaster, but an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times, before the Empire.
Angelus was a lawyer, sort of - well, a bloodsucker. And that was good enough to satisfy the California statutes
In ‘the Wizard of Oz’, when Dorothy gets back to Kansas, what becomes of Toto? Elvira Gulch is certainly not the type of gal that lets a little thing like a tornado get in the way of carrying out her dog-exterminating vendetta. She’d be heading right back to the Gale’s farm probably once she noticed the ‘little menace’ escaped her.
There is symmetry between Kansas and Oz. Because she was dead in Oz, she died somehow in Kansas. Probably eaten by a pack of rabid Rottweilers.
On Buffy, how is it that the outside news agencies report on an outbreak of laryngitis (Hush) but never comment about oh, say what happens at graduation?
It’s that damn Mainstream Media. It’s a liberal conspiracy, I tells ya.
How come (with the sole exception of Indiana Jones in the first movie) the clothing of guards who have been knocked out always fit the heroes perfectly so that they can infiltrate enemy headquarters?
But in movies about the South, why does it always sound like dad is from Texas, mom is from North Carolina, brother is from Arkansas, and sister is from Tennessee?
No, he’s seven or eight hundred years too old for them and it would feel like paedophilia - and would be, by Gallifreyan custom and law.
Why did Han Solo think a parsec was a measure of time?
Not at all. Anakin wanted a son who would be a Jedi after him - it was not at this point, of course, that he gave the light-sabre to Obi-Wan; he was still using it then, but no doubt at that point in life he still thought of a son and heir in due course (even if this was mighty unusual for a Jedi). And of course, by the time Luke’s uncle knew anything about it, the last thing he wanted was for Luke to go off Jedi’ing and getting into trouble. The fact that by then Vader most certainly didn’t want Luke to have the light-sabre is neither here nor there.
In ST:IV, The Voyage Home, Kirk goes to a restaurant with the love-interest. During the course of the meal, the candles repeatedly leap from tall to short and back to tall again. How do they manage this?
It was a very, very long dinner and the waitstaff had to continually replace the candles. That’s why they seem to shift length.
In the same movie, how in the universe did Sulu learn how to fly a Huey in less than a day? Not just fly it, but know it well enough to be able to hover and lower material into the warbird.
That one is pretty obvious. He had Tank upload a Huey pilot program from the Nebuchadnezzar.
How is it that if you are “Jacked in” to a computer program and get punched, your mouth and lungs spew blood in real life. And don’t give me this crap about your mind makes it so. There is no way I could make myself spontanously bleed from the lungs.
Oh, c’mon, have you ever really tried? :dubious: I don’t like your defeatist attitude, to be blunt.
But riddle me this: Why doesn’t James Bond spend half of every movie being treated for the different varieties of VD he must be catching from all of the wenches he beds?
