"Not as clumsy as a blaster."

Thinking on it, how many scenes were there where a group of unarmored people 
were trapped in a narrow passageway with the storm troopers who spent their 
entire lives training, and they didn't get shot, or shot only after quite a 
lot of blaster fire was exchanged?  I think it *must* be rather clumsy.

   Forget "focus follows mouse." When do
   I get "focus follows gaze"?

Sorry, I prefer tea.

  Milk? Who puts milk in tea? Once you add milk to tea, it stops being tea.

  It's "the drink formerly know as tea", or "the drink" for short.

That's a British thing, I hear.

I only drink ice tea, another heresy! :D

"And another thing. This is the weakest coffee I've ever had."

"Booth, that's tea."

LOL.

Now I know the reason why "Prince" became "The artist formerly known as 
Prince": he must have drunk too much milk - or tea ;-)
