This news is almost a month old now, but I just saw it a few minutes ago:

You know that mega-bombad 9-disc Ultimate Star Wars Saga box set that's been in the works for a few years now? The one that was expected to be released later this year to celebrate the 30th Anniversary? Yeah... maybe not so much anymore. We've been hearing from multiple sources now that the folks up at Lucasburg were surprised enough at the lackluster sales of last year's Star Wars Trilogy DVD re-run ("Now with Han shoots first!") that they're afraid they might have gone to the Sarlacc Pit one too many times, so to speak. There's talk apparently that the box set could get delayed a year or two to amp up demand for the films on disc again. Don't know how serious this all is, but that's the word that's blowing in the wind.

Stupid bastards. I'm not buying the DVDs again until they release anamorphic, hopefully remastered transfers of the original, non-Special Edition trilogy.

Tonight I learned that too much Famous Dave's Devil's Spit bar-b-que sauce can be a bad thing. I made a small pot of pulled chicken with a leftover boneless chicken breast and a butt-load of said sauce. I've had the Devil's Spit burger at Famous Dave's on several occasions, and each time poured extra sauce on it, but I never found it to be as unbearably hot as it was on my pulled chicken. Most likely I just used way too much of it. It would probably be better to make the pulled chicken with a milder sauce, and maybe add a small amount of Devil's Spit. My next endeavor will probably be grilling some burgers (on my George Foreman grill) will just a tad of Devil's Spit sauce on top. Mmmm... now I'm hungry again.
