Wow!! Cheers for the kind comments, everyone, and especially to Paul (the Finder), and to James, John L, and Glad (the generous Super-voters) as well as Vincent for his early praise. So many great captions this past month! I feel sorry to have pip... --Crunchy Chords
Challenge accepted, Julia.🎵 “It's not entirely my faultMy songs sound like gargled phlegmI'm trying to sing from music notesThat have a backward stem." 🎵Anyone else want to have a go? --Crunchy Chords
I was too slow putting on my Poppins caption but I think yours could stay considering how obvious Poppins is and your caption was great. --Stephen Bean

"Those fucking terrorists, they're nearly as bad as the Empire. At least the terrorists including my radicalised son and daughter can go home and tell themselves that they've committed genocide against a bunch of factory created clones that wear suits so you can't see their faces so they're more easily depersonalised and easier to murder. The Empire looks you in the face when we kill you because we're bad ass...although I admit we do occasionally kill unarmed civilians with our blasters and giant laser...which is err, bad...actually that's very bad...OH, SHIT!! WHAT HAVE I TAKEN PART IN!?"
"Oh, yes. We did design the suits and made them wear them, but even if we didn't they're all the same clones underneath so again they'd be easy to depersonalise and dispose of. We should really have a rethink about this design flaw as it probably explains why the Empire has been beaten so many times"
Also, one thing that they never go into and I think it's quite important considering the economic sanctions being put in place against Russia...where did the Rebels get their funding from?
Were they being funded by Jabba the Hutt? I wouldn't think because wasn't Jabba bumped off because he wasn't a "good" criminal like Han Solo and got in the way of the divine Rebel cause (that has the backing of a magical monk order)?
You're right, Neil! My initial Google search of Buster made a reference to the famous clock tower scene in "Safety Last", and I hastily incorporated it into my caption. Entirely my fault for my poor research methods! Next time maybe I should read the article rather than the headline and Google snippet! |-D
If no one minds, I think I'll change "clock tower" to one of Keaton's actual other stunts.
(The canoodle was an attempt at a second pun since the cat was snuggling in his hair. Maybe I should have just stayed with caboodle!)
And yes, Glad, you bring up an interesting connection to Christopher Lloyd!

My Death Star popcorn bowl was great until my imbecile son decided to "reach out with his feelings" and fire a torpedo into the bloody thing.

I only know Harold Lloyd and the clock tower stunt. What’s a canoodle? Or do you mean caboodle?

Kiss and canoodle. Kit and caboodle.

There was another Lloyd and another clock tower, in a little place called Hill Valley.
