The series just completely fucked over Yoda's "specialness"; turns out he wasn't all that special, just lucky he was born into the right species. (I know about Yaddle, but that just supports the notion that that race is "jedi right out of the box")

The Girl You Want, Secret Agent Man, Jocko Homo, Mongoloid, Through Being Cool - these are my faves. Their 50th anniversary album is a frequent spin for me.
I recently met a close friend of one of the members (Casale) and he implied he may invite me to a dinner party with him at some point, but I'm not holding my breath.

A game-changer in apple quality and shelf-life.

I've used it on my tractor's mower deck and it seems to do well.
But I think that is only because we don't know the last person who flattered or paid him at any given moment. If we knew that, his behavior becomes extremely predictable.
