your goose is probably only half-baked at this point

Back when the Star Wars  prequels were coming out, my father -- who is not a Star Wars  fan, by the way -- got ALL excited because KFC had a drink-cup shaped like R2D2, and dragged the entire family out for dinner at KFC just so he could get the drink-cup. I didn't get the appeal at the time, and strongly disliked that cup, because one night, when I was wandering around in the dark, scared, with a flashlight, its shadow projected onto the rocking chair in the living room and gave the illusion of a man sitting in the rocking chair, only there wasn't a man and it terrified me and oh by the way I was a complete and utter chicken  when I was younger. Except I still am now, never mind. *cough* So I've now seen the orig-trig and have a deeper understanding of why my dad wanted that R2D2 cup. Artoo is just a little bucket of sass, he's legitimately the only  reason Luke survives half the stuff he survives, and (unlike me) he isn't afraid of anything . He's easily m...

Fun facts about Chewbacca: 1) He's 200 years old when we first meet him in A New Hope ; 2) He'll live to be 400 years old, so he knew he was going to out-live Han Solo when he adopted the guy; 3) I'm pretty sure he'd adopt Leia and keep her as his cub if he had half a chance; 4) He's awesome and his actor, Peter Mayhew, is one of the most understated and loveable celebrities on the planet.

It's a great recipe, and you're a laser-brain if you don't give it a go. #nailedit Laugh It Up Fuzzball Sweet Potato Chili   Ingredients 1 tbsp olive oil 2 medium yellow onions, diced 2 tbsp chili powder 2 tsp cumin 1 tsp black pepper (I never measure, honestly) 4-10 shakes cayenne pepper (I don't measure this, either) 2 cups frozen diced green peppers (use fresh if you have that much free time on your hands) 4 1/2 ...

So everyone within three zip-codes of me knows that I have an unhealthy adoration for Luke Skywalker, that R2D2 will always be my #1 favorite Star Wars  character (accept no substitutions), and that Chewbacca deserves WAY more love than he gets in canon and fandom and everything in between. What they may not know is that Lando Calrissian makes me seriously question my sexual orientation which, until 27 December 2015 when I saw The Empire Strikes Back  for the first time, was pretty securely pansexual with a heavy tilt towards women. Then Lando sauntered on the scene and into my heart in those goddamn polyester bellbottoms lord preserve me  and I needed to take a moment to remember how to breathe . This cake reminds me of him: Rich, beautiful, delicious, and riddled with all kinds of guilt. In Lando's case, the guilt comes from selling out his dear friend to a vacuum cleaner with a nasty attitude and a breathing problem. In the cake's case, it comes from the amount of ...
