There's some delight in ale and wine,
And some in girls with ankles fine,
But my delight, yes, always mine,
Is to dance with Jak o' the Shadows.

You need to see more film then. It's far, far, FAR from the worst thing I've ever seen.

Mangler had an accident on the way home from the liquor store. He was run off the road and crashed into a woman's clinic. It was one giant Pabst smear.

I get greater lulz at the use of "Earth-independent" parsec units of measurement that are in fact tied more closely to Earth than a light year.

Parsecs are based on both the "Astronomical Unit" or AU, which is the distance of the Earth from the sun, and our 360 degree measurement of a circle, not even a more pragmatic measurement in radians.

At least with a light year, one might expect a planet with an ecology similar to Earth's to have a similar year. It might have a similar AU as well, but there's no reason to believe that it will split a circle into 360 equal degrees, each of those parts into 60 equal minutes, and each of those parts into 60 equal seconds.

I get a laugh at the idea that you demand a fictional universe use your measurements of time OR distance?

The Oatmeal Butterscotch paired with a Snickerdoodle
turned my cynical penis into a happy vagina
Then after an Oatmeal Cranberry and Double Chocolate,
it made my new vagina spontaneously sing the Trolololo Song in an elevator.
