- If Imperator is in favor of the change, I'd ask that he vote so it can pass. -- nm - ML Jul 23, 11:03 2

- What if Ship 1 called "Dibs" when they left? -- nm - Strongbad Jul 23, 11:20
- Again, I would hope ship 2 would stop and pick up ship 1. Otherwise they are jerk who would stand at the window and flip off ship 1. -- nm - sycor Jul 23, 11:09 12
  - you're misframing the issue. It's not even a question of "want to". - Reagen Jul 23, 11:15 10
    - *decided to delete* -- (edited) - Ship 2 Jul 23, 11:22 3
      - I guess I should read this. -- nm - sycor Jul 23, 11:23 2
        
        or just watch the trailer. :) -- nm - Ship 2 Jul 23, 11:24 1
        
        I try not to watch too many trailers. They either give away too much or I'm let down by the actual movie. -- nm - sycor Jul 23, 11:25
    - Then they need to launch a shuttle craft or something. Big jerkfaces! - sycor Jul 23, 11:17 5
      - Fortunately for Ship 1, they'd never know Ship 2 didn't stop for them. -- nm - TWuG Jul 23, 11:18 4

        I know. I'm just having some fun with the idea. -- nm - sycor Jul 23, 11:21
  - *throws on handbrake. pulls over to the side of the space highway, and picks up the passengers from Ship 1* - Ship 2 Jul 23, 11:11
- And as ship 1 approaches, the new civilization decides it would be hilarious to dress up as aliens to greet them -- nm - JD Jul 23, 11:02 1
  - Depending on how long they'd been there, they may look very alien-like. More gravity would likely - TWuG Jul 23, 11:04
- oh, eff you guys. We were supposed to be first! -- nm - spamlet, Defending Blood Feud Champion Jul 23, 10:56
- Maybe that planet *is* Earth, and we already did that. - JaxSean Jul 23, 10:56 8
  - spoiler? . . . - call me ishmael Jul 23, 11:55
  - Just wait until (spoilers) - sycor Jul 23, 11:11
  - See!? All sorts of possibilities! Like, what if the first ship put colonists in cryo-sleep, the a couple of Ship 1 people discover that their - TWuG Jul 23, 10:59 3
    - That's going to make dating on the new planet kinda awkward. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 23, 11:05 2

        GGGDILF? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 23, 11:07
  - You are Douglas Adams and I claim my $5 - Reagen Jul 23, 10:58
  - Whoa. -- nm - ML Jul 23, 10:57

Brutal, brutal technical takedown of the movie Pixels. -- (link) - Beryllium Jul 23, 10:46 13

    - Ha! Logan said, "That looks dumb." -- nm - Spawn Jul 23, 11:29
- I enjoyed Wreck it Ralph a ton, but have no desire to see this. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 23, 11:10 4
  - I haven't seen one thing from it that appeals to me. It's the battleship of nostalgia pandering movies. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 23, 11:20 2
    - Except, I've actually considered watching Battleship. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 23, 11:20 1
      - If you can shut the brain down, it's entertaining. -- nm - Shaun Jul 23, 11:21

Oh, and this is a fun little wrinkle - Reagen Jul 23, 10:46 2
- Give me a place to stand, and I shall move the Earth with it. -- nm - archimedes Jul 23, 10:51
- The other main issue is that humanity hasn't learned how to survive long-term exposure to space. -- (link) - ML Jul 23, 10:49
Backboards matter. -- nm - Baron Bing Bong Jul 23, 10:46 4
- *all* boards matter. -- nm - Reagen Jul 23, 10:46 3
  - It's the implicit "too"! Don't be a jerkface! -- nm - sycor Jul 23, 10:48 2
    - Not when I say it. _Only_ backboards matter. -- nm - Baron Bing Bong Jul 23, 10:53 1
      - Oh so you're Current Board-ist?! -- nm - sycor Jul 23, 10:57
VoG this! -- nm - Spawn Jul 23, 10:45
