Blue 5 reporting in, locking s-foils in attack position [what?] Congratulations NAF. Hope it all goes well for you. The day will fly by like that [imagine me clicking my fingers here]. It'll be over and done before you realise it. So make sure you enjoy it ;D

Blue 5 reporting in, locking s-foils in attack position [what?] Ahem.. It probably wasn't meant to be so close to accuracy but you're right.. Blue Squadron was indeed X-Wings. And for that fact alone I may have to jump you. This is your final warning.. reference Star Wars again and the jumping will commence.

;D Whoo hoo! It's my lucky break. Weddings are fun. Just ask Dio about my wedding when you get the chance and see if he can actually remember how fun it was. Where in NC? Are you in the Raleigh area too? I live in Apex/Cary. Welcome to our crazy little piece of the internet.

I don't know what the heck you're referencing, but it isn't A New Hope. In the Death Star battle, the X-wings (Luke Skywalker, other named characters) were Red squadron. Luke was Red 5. The Y-wings (targets) were Gold squadron. Later X-wings (with named characters, particularly Luke and Wedge) were in Rogue squadron.

So I heard, RoOsh indirectly convinced me to do my research. Blue Squadron appears with X-wings in the Rebel Assault videogame(s) and (as Luke's squadron, differing from the film) in the novelization of A New Hope. I checked, just to make sure I just wasn't crazy and forgetting stuff. It has been a while. In Return of the Jedi (something I never claimed it couldn't be from) features Blue squadron as one of many squadrons in the Battle of Endor. It's most notable pilot was Ten Numb. Anyway, it's not that I was doubting that there was a Blue squadron of X-wings, but characterizing Blue squadron "as indeed the x-wings" is strange because I can name three that are more "famous" - Red, Rogue, Wraith. Most notably from the series of books called " The X-Wing Series." Granted, if we go into anything resembling Yuuzhan Vong territory my eyes glaze over and I fall asleep. Also, I acknowledge that the original comment was likely a Smurfs reference.

Heh... wise man, you don't want to mess with Her. Though that right sounds like you backed down without a fight, I was kinda hoping she'd met her match.

Though that right sounds like you backed down without a fight Certainly not. I figure that while Blue squadron has been used as a label for several X-wing squadrons at various levels of canon, it wouldn't be the first squadron in line to represent the class. So unless Tragic was making an inside reference to a specific book or game, I can't buy it being anything other than a mistake.

I had absolutely no intention of causing a Star Wars nerd war. As has been supposed, my reference to Blue 5, was simply a pisstake on Red 5 (Luke's callsign from A New Hope - if you really must use that retconned movie title ) in conjunction with my smurfy screenname. Look what I've done - my google ads on the top of the page are selling Star Wars cursors now.

Oh darling.. Roosh and atarus and 100% right, you most certainly do not want to get into a Star Wars match with me.
Truly Red Squadron is the best known of the X-Wing Squadrons if we're broaching movie topics. You can also consider that there was an ever growing and expanding 'Expanded Univers' (EU) occuring after those movies were produced. Between comic books, novels, video games and anything else Lucas could make money off of.. suddenly the 'verse was ginormous.
And yes.. at several points there were Blue Squadrons. The most noteable was an A-Wing Squadron.. Smurf almost got his head chewed off for that comment until I dove deep into memory and realized that indeed there wsa a Blue Squadron of X-Wings and I gave him the benefit of the doubt for being an uber geek and knowing that as well.
Apparently I was wrong in doing so.
And in fact I used to be an insanely big fan.. we won't go into how big.. but Lucas has turned me off as well. I've basically discredited anything produced in the name of Star Wars after 1999. He sold out, essentially. And bussed his collaborators and creators in the process.

Where in NC? Are you in the Raleigh area too? I live in Apex/Cary. Welcome to our crazy little piece of the internet. I live in Hillsborough and work in Raleigh (yeah, killer commute). Glad to be here. I got turned on to some Mafia games in another forum, and Dio alerted me to this board's presence, so... here I am.

Heheh. Now the ads are for Battlestar Galactica. Not the new one, but the original series.
Apparently they're playing them on NBC.com. Which seems... kind of sad.

Well we do have a sort of competitive thing going on. Now I REALLY want to win. ETA: because I want to live, not because I want to kill her. I love her and wish her no harm. It's Night 0, we don't even have roles, if atarus kills me for this edit so be it.

Well we do have a sort of competitive thing going on. My girlfriend are much the same way. We're two very Type A personalities, and we neither of us is particularly meek. Oddly enough, this seems to enhance our relationship rather than create friction. I think it's because we respect each other and view our competiveness as a means to improvement in ourselves and our relationship rather than as a way to show each other up. Though, we still enjoy good-naturedly rubbing it in when one of us gets the upper hand.

Hopefully the next time it happens, the Galactica heads straight for the casino planet immediately following the nuclear holocaust... again. Because right after I learn that humanity is on the brink of extinction? That is when I want to play a few rounds of roulette, damn it.

I'm bored. I'd ask you all to entertain me, but I'll probably be gone by the time someone reads this (I'm waiting for my ride to head up to my brother's house for Memorial Day weekend). What the hey, entertain me anyway, if you wish. I'm sure it'll be just as entertaining on Sunday night when I get back.
