When I hear Bob Seger's "Against the Wind" I think of "The Empire Strikes Back" - that song was playing while on the way to see the movie for the first time. It always reminds me of how sad I was when Han Solo got frozen....anyhoooAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10262921629092795037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26062571.post-14147244277967303602007-01-02T22:58:00.000-05:002007-01-02T22:58:00.000-05:00LOL.

I'm picturing you yelling at the stormtroopers to stay off your lawn. <br /><br />They keep replaying the parade on an HD channel. I Tivo'd it for a buddy of mine that is actually a member of the group that attended. He was unable to attend himself, and yes, he owns one of the suits.<br /><br />While not a PC name, I can't see the Rose committee telling George Lucas he couldn't use them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26062571.post-38093069963949401312007-01-02T21:26:00.000-05:002007-01-02T21:26:00.000-05:00Okay, Kelly...I admit "Trekkies" was the wrong wor...Okay, Kelly...I admit "Trekkies" was the wrong word...what <i>do</i> they call the pimply faced geeks who are all wrapped up in "Star Wars," anyway?<br /><br />See, all those movies look alike to me....MrScribblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10743761169195087103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26062571.post-2532764751294154912007-01-02T21:20:00.000-05:002007-01-02T21:20:00.000-05:00I was gonna say something like "Star Trek" doesn't...I was gonna say something like "Star Trek" doesn't have "stormtroopers" and "Star Wars" does but.....well.....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10262921629092795037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26062571.post-48716909562263514632007-01-02T19:36:00.000-05:002007-01-02T19:36:00.000-05:00Yay!!!

That word is: "Unprecedented".<br /><br />It is beginning to wear on me almost as much as the phrase: "War against terror".<br /><br />The media is seriously lacking in creativity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26062571.post-20455720077170188462007-01-02T00:42:00.000-05:002007-01-02T00:42:00.000-05:00I didn't watch the parade either..I was sleeping. ...I didn't watch the parade either..I was sleeping.
