Here's hoping that this thread can accumulate another thirteen pages of great humor and funky discussion.

Actually the Star Wars trilogy (Special Edition) and Episode 1 are on tv now here in Germany... I'm a bit influenced I see... *g*

To be truthful, I'm not into Star Wars that much. I've never seen the trilogy, but did see Episode #1 three years ago when it came out. As I recall, it was a long line, and I feared that my friend and his wife would get the last two tickets. I got the ticket, though, and saw the movie.

The only true connection I have with the movie is that I look like Luke Skywalker (with brown hair and before his accident), or that's what I've been told. Personally, I don't think so, but people who look at me tell me I'm wrong.

Hmm... watching Episode 1 without ever watching the trilogy can be quite bitter, because Episode 1 is the weak part of the chain... no charme, no story, only effects.

Actually when should Luke have had this accident?

Maybe people mean Anakin Skywalker...?

I don't know about Mark Hamill's accident, but when I bring up the Luke Skywalker resemblence, I'm usually asked: Before or after Mark Hamill's accident? I answer, "Luke Skywalker during the first Star Wars movie." Evidentally, the accident must have done something to Mark Hamill, but I don't know. I've never followed his career.

I've often heard about how Episode #1 is the weak part of the chain. Personally, I thought it was alright, but I would probably have a different opinion if I ever get around to watching the trilogy. All I have to say is Jar Jar Binks shouldn't be in Episode #2. After awhile, he just grated on my last nerve! Mayber I'm wrong.

Saw Mark Hamill appear on a stupid sitcom some time ago, he looked quite "normal".

Oh, a good Mark Hamill movie is "Slipstream". It also features Bob Peck, the hunter from Jurassic Park 1.

Tragically I don't know how Yoda speaks in the English original...

Jar-Jar Binks... the figure that polarizes the masses

SEXY SNACK SLAYS
Personal Account

"I was a third-year medical student doing my first surgical rotation, when a man came in who had consumed, along with a copious amount of alcohol, the panties of a local stripper. After he sobered up, he waited for the panties to pass through, but they never emerged.

"He began to feel bloated. That’s when the fearless fellow tried to fish them out with a hook constructed from a wire coat hanger.

"The predictable result: he was not able to snag the panties, but instead ripped gashes along the length of his esophagus. He died from the effects of a massive infection, removing himself from the breeding population.

His X-rays were the highlight of my very first M&M; (Mortality and Morbidity) conference. I don't think this was published, but other surgeons in the Denver area remember the case."

Alex: After doing some research on Mark Hamill, I found out that he was in an automobile accident, which led surgeons to reconstruct his face. His biography stated that the "wampa scene" in "The Empire Strikes Back" was specifically written to explain his facial changes. Now I know why I'm usually asked: "Before or after the accident?" I will say, like I always do, before the accident.

Steph: That was an interesting story to say the least. If anything, the story gave new meaning to edible panties.

Adam was a student chef at Exeter College. If it had been his first semester, one could forgive his mistake, but in fact he was a third-year student.

Adam's project was to cook an Italian meal. He decided to make a traditional bread to accompany the meal and, eager to use the department’s new bread mixer, he tossed in the ingredients -- not taking into account the sticky nature of Italian bread dough. It clogged the machine.

In Adam’s infinite wisdom, he proceeded to pull out the dough with his hands, to free the machine's mixing arm, without switching it off. As you and every other student chef could predict, once he had succeeded in clearing the path, the mixer arm swung into action -- and broke his arm in four places.

Nine weeks later Adam returned to college amid much ridicule. When asked how he had managed to break his arm whilst making bread, he felt obliged to demonstrate, so in plunged his hand -- and snap went his arm, again.

Adam left Exeter College never to return.

Now, I don't care if it was Adam's first semester or third year of college. Common sense "should" dictate that you turn off the bread mixer before you insert your own hand. Stupidity rears its ugly head again on this one.

I'm doing alright. I can't complain and, if I did, it wouldn't do me any good. Today, I got a letter in my school mailbox, which usually causes a small alarm to go of inside me. It didn't help matters when I saw it came from the school administration! Nervously, I opened my letter, and it confirmed that I'm graduating in May! I breathed a sigh of relief!

Yes, its that letter almost every college student dreams of receiving after several years of partying, getting drunk, getting laid, and whatever (which included studying)! So, in about one month, I can now declare myself, with pride, a college graduate! Woo hooo! Senioritous has set in by the way, allowing me to use the phrase, "C's get degrees!"

The reason no one competed against Steph is simple: They all felt that she could not be stopped, and only hoped to contain her by not running against her. Consequently, Steph is now the new treasurer of the Society of Professional Journalists (CSU Chapter), which I think is outstanding. Way to go, Steph. Word on the street is that there is a Pulitzer with your name on it, somewhere.

Besides, Fred has a job. Yes, I now have a job, I haven't graduated yet but I don't need a licence so I can work. The good part is that I'm making shit-loads of money. I'm working at a private sports clinic. The money is in the private sector allright.

That's the reason I haven't posted for so long, I'm sorry you guys. You have been missed.

Seriously though, Fred is missed immensely. Great job on getting that job in the private clinic!

Okay, I created a bad parody off of Julius Ceasar. Shakespeare lovers everywhere ask, "Hath you no shame!?!"

My response, "No, not really!"
