Free Form Friday: How to Punch Baby Seals

Welcome back ladies and germs to this weeks offering of Free Form Friday where we answer questions from the inquiring minds of you, our loyal readers and determined stalkers.  We’re touching on some really hot topics this week…did I ever mention I used to manage a Hot Topic and now I can’t type or write or say hot topic with out thinking of Hot Topic.  And for the record that last sentence would have made much less sense if it were spoken…but I digress.  On to the good stuff!!

Why is Lando wearing Han’s cloak at the end of Empire Strikes Back? – Darrell Coon

Well that’s a really good question, but I think it really begs to question, why didn’t they ever patch up that hole in the Death Star?  But if you really must know, it’s because it’s so freaking cold in space.  And a real friend looks out for his buddies.  Last thing you need are heroes with the sniffles.  Keep those shoulders covered!

How would you recommend someone take out The Tarrasque? – Moonwolf

With a very pointy stick.  I’m only kidding, everyone knows those things are useless.  The simplest method is to  just send the Space Marines.  That’s what they’re around for.

Who’s the best non-human sidekick EVER? – PunkZappa

I’m tempted to say Lockheed, Kitty Pryde’s buddy from X-men, at least until he turned out to be a S.H.I.E.L.D. double agent.  Damn you Joss Whedon for your most excellent and heart breaking writing!!!  Wait, where was I again?   Oh yeah, non-human side kicks…  A close second would have to be zombie Ed from Shaun of the Dead.

Why 42? – Eric H

Because without it there would be no way to make it to 43 from 41.  There would be no Times Square for all the tourists to flock too.  There would be no Public Health and Welfare.  There would be no meaning to anything.  We would all need Han’s cloak to keep out the bitter cold of our broken hearts because Coldplay wouldn’t have a song for all the hipsters to listen to while smoking their clove cigarettes and wearing Tom’s, American Apparel, and tight jeans.  We’d have no idea what the hell to do with Molybdeum.  TIFF files would have no bit order.  That vacuum tube for amplifiers from the 30’s would have never been so awesome.  Lewis Carol would have had to use some lame number like 37 for his published works.  I mean seriously?  Without 42 we’d be one number closer to the apocalypse.  Man, don’t screw with the apocalypse! Ge’ez, come on Eric!

And on that note, we’re outta here for this week.  Thanks so much for the questions, see ya next Friday for more Free Form Frivolous Fun. And remember post your questions here or hit us up on Facebook or @geekcentricity on Twitter!
