Whew. I’ve been holding that in. EVERYTHING BELOW IS A SPOILER.
Star Wars talk only in this OT, please.

GAZE IN WONDER, NERDLINGS, AT WHAT JJ ABRAMS HATH WROUGHT! Gape in awe at characters we don’t recognize! Shriek with delight at spaceships you remember from your childhood! Groan inwardly because there’s so much goddamned Tattooine! (Seriously, does this galaxy only have five planets or something?)
Anyway, it’s here, and it looks pretty good, and you can watch it on your computer in your turkey gravy stained sweatpants, without having to put on clothes and go to the mall to see THE DUMB AND DUMBENING. BEHOLD! Continue reading
Well, anyone other than George Lucas directing the new Star Wars: Episode VII is a better choice than George Lucas shooting Jar Jar Binks into space again, but how do we feel about J.J. Abrams? More importantly how do we feel that Ben Affleck was in contention and Joss Whedon was never, ever going to do it, ever, it seems? NOOOOOOOOO! Continue reading
Some Reddit dude named ScottDS has spent the time to discover a Princess Leia “coke nail” in a still from Return of the Jedi as evidenced in the pic above via Buzzfeed. Continue reading
As everyone who’s ever passed the GRE knows, there are two major hypothetical operational problems with Star Wars lightsabers. More accurately I should say there were two problems, because I solved both of them while trying to fall asleep last night, shortly after mentally ranking the breasts of the Legion of Super-Heroes.
A group of adventure seekers armed with trowels is trying to raise money to travel to Tunisia to restore the buildings used for Luke Skywalker’s family home. You remember, the one where his (spoiler alert?) aunt and uncle were killed by imperial soldiers while he was out trying to unravel the mystery of where that pesky R2 unit had run off to.

A long time ago, on a web site far, far down in page views, a group of rebel commenters won an early victory against the evil Dentonian Empire. Breaking the fourth wall, they began sharing personal photos, first of their homes, then of themselves. As the Death Gawk imploded, crushed under the weight of a giant Trident ad, the rebels fled to far corners of the Internet, finding safe harbor on a host planet, Crasstalk. A new hope was born, and with it, an urge to strengthen the alliance through photo sharing.
That’s right kids, on both counts: I’m a closet nerd and it is PhotoPhriday! Tonight’s theme: geeking out. What makes you a nerd? Something you read? Something you collect? What are you currently geeking out over?
Uploading pictures takes a simple Jedi mind trick, since there is no insert picture option in WordPress.
Just follow these helpful tips, adapted from previous PhotoPhriday instructions:
- This is the magic computer code you use to make pictures appear: [img src=”PHOTO URL HERE”]. NOTE: Replace the brackets with the carrots < >.
- And it’s a URL, not photo file. Crasstalk doesn’t accept files from your hard drive – only from the Internet. You can upload your photo to Facebook, Flickr, TinyPic, or any other online photo hosting site to generate a URL for the photo.
- Also, be sure to add a few words of text with your picture so it doesn’t get tripped up in the site’s spam filter.
- To pick up an image online, right click (or ctrl-click on a Mac) on an image of Carrie Fisher When She Was Hot and select “View Image.” Copy-and-paste the URL and plug it into the img src html code.
- To upload the picture of Carrie Fisher When She Was Hot you found, this is what you type (again, replacing the brackets with the greater than and less than symbols < >):
[img src=”http://www.2dorks.com/gallery/2009/0924-bikini/bikini04.jpg”]
So hop to it, nerds! Show us your shame.
