  1. I wasn't actually looking for Christmas movies. I was just traumatizing the children.

    1. Dunno what you're talking about. Ain't no such film. Just a persistent urban legend. Would have been cool if they'd ever made a Star Wars holiday special, but they didn't.

    2. Must I? It's mentioned at http://www.conservapedia.com/Star_Wars#Television and those people neither lie nor have any sort of nefarious agenda.

    1. No. No! That's not true! That's impossible!

      I'll never join you!

    2. I wish it wasn't true. I watched the first five minutes of it with the sound off and still emerged from the experience emotionally, spiritually and physically scarred for the remainder of my life. (Physically scarred because my fingers tried to scrape my eyeballs out of their sockets.) This is potent stuff and it *ought* to be banned but denying its existence only succeeds in allowing it to persist.

  4. Okay, see, now I'm considering a short story where the real reason the Library of Alexandria burned was to erase the last remaining traces of the Odysseus And Friends Saturnalia Special.

    1. Psst... Alexandria... Greek. Odysseus... Greek. Saturnalia... *Roman*. Oh wait... I see your point now. Carry on.
