If I learned anything about life from pharmaceutical ads, it's that there are a lot of little colorful main streets with random street fairs filled with people who like hiking.

I am super excited! Next week I am going to Tunisia with Galaxy Tours to see Star Wars and Indiana Jones filming sites, including the Lars moisture farm! I wonder where I can find some blue milk!

When Porkins is advised to eject in A New Hope, what was the plan after that? If the Rebels win, Death Star blows up, Porkins goes boom. If Rebels fail, Porkins gets captured at best, left behind or shot down at worst. But I guess one thing at a time for survival. But he didn't eject. #starwars

What exactly are they gathering in Magic: the Gathering? I don't think it's magic. Turnips, perhaps? 1/1 tokens? Just more cards? Turnips, it is.

There is a decent chance that I've come up with this joke before and posted it. So.. umm.. his group was the Pastry-sans?

What did Saw Gerrera say when he went to the dessert shop? Pies! Confections! Every day more pies!

When you go back to where you were, usually to find something, we call it retracing your steps. So when you went that way the first time, was that tracing your steps?

Straw definitely works. I'd worry about anything you'd soak it up with. Probably will take more than 5 seconds too.

I am not sure what I think. D&D with a Star Wars skin? Or a SW RPG with a D&D base, but then building into mechanics that better fit SW? Or a MTG/Star Trek thing - gateway drug / cash grab?

Truth told by someone already categorized as an outsider is read as a threat.

So, what else would you add to this list? Fun fact: Winston cigarette company sponsored the first two (and pre-Pebbles) seasons of the Flintstones, and so Fred was puffing on them as product placement.

4. Donald Duck Orange Juice. What do ducks have to do with orange juice? Donald in particular? Still, with Donald being a farmer sometimes, it makes more sense than Flintstones vitamins.

3. Flintstone Kids vitamins. They still make them, but when was the last time you saw any Flintstones stories airing? 10 million strong and growing.

2. Pink Panther & Owens Corning fiberglass insulation. We made it pink to differentiate us from our competition, but now we need a cartoon mascot to really sell it. Kids love playing with fiberglass!

What are some of the oddest products that have licensed cartoon / comic characters as long-time mascots? Here are some of the ones I came up with: 1. Snoopy & MetLife insurance. I imagine the deductible on a dog who constantly sleeps on his roof is pretty high

Thanks to all who enjoyed my panels. I had a good time. It takes a lot of time to organize a panel: finding panelists, building a slide deck, meet deadlines, but it pays off!

James Floyd @jamesjawa.bsky.social · 29/07/2026
My measures of panel success: I had fun, the audience was engaged, my panelists had fun, and only a few people left. And my two panels hit those marks!

As a Comic-Con panel organizer / moderator, I'm so chuffed to meet people later at the con who recognize me and tell me how much they enjoyed the panel!

New episode of @starwarsologies.bsky.social out - on "Awe" in Star Wars. We had a really fascinating discussion with @ethnoethereal.bsky.social about all sorts of aspects of awe, from what astronauts feel when they view deep space, to humility, curiosity, Force ghosts, being a fan, and even Firefly.

Would explain some of our infrastructure issues. Mayor Fry, the city's foundations are crumbling because, well, rock n roll is not structurally sound.
