Amidala's Suitor Member | posted 07-28-1999 11:41 AM Oh, and I've been slacking on the mandatory spoilers, so Obi Wan fights with a Lightsaber and Jar Jar might be found to be annoying. IP: Logged |
Jabbadabbado Member | posted 07-28-1999 11:51 AM Jedi Soul, that's a great story! You are now the official Ambassador of Slack. I'll send a memo to the HR department.******** Episode III secrets revealed #2: Quadrinaros retires from podracing and becomes chief design engineer for the Death Star. ******** IP: Logged |
Darth Vandelay Member | posted 07-28-1999 11:52 AM When I first found this forum, I made promise to myself that I wouldn't go to it when I was at work. Then I started reading from it daily, so I amended my promise so that I just wouldn't post while at work. Since I am too weak-minded to resist anymore, I just want to say to C Creepio and all other slackers, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!Big time Spoiler: Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan use the FORCE in TPM!

Senator Binks2 Member | posted 07-28-1999 11:56 AM Congratulations on the promotions all. I hope they come with raises and/or stock in SWMCMMJ, Creepio.As General of the Ground Forces I assure you all that any attack on our hallowed turf will be swiftly repelled by the complete indifference and lazy nonchalence of our finest infantry. Anyone given any thought to setting up a SWMCMMJ website? I think it's time we got an official home beyond TheForce.Net... someplace to back-up things up and retreat to on bad-server days. Also any suggestions for lunch? I'm damn hungry. IP: Logged |

Jabbadabbado Member | posted 07-28-1999 12:28 PM It's CARPAL tunnel syndrome, and (another note to HR) it's the number one health risk to slackers behind CRT-induced brain tumors.IP: Logged |

Obi Two Member | posted 07-28-1999 12:37 PM Yes, a band member in the Mos Eisly cantina. That has always been my life long expectation. The Slack has treated me well. I think Sebilba is really Lando in disguise... IP: Logged |
THX 1204 Member | posted 07-28-1999 12:43 PM Creepio,I've just worked out you average around 19.25 posts per working day (assuming you don't post over the weekend!) If you account for every day you could have posted since 6/25 (that's your registration date) it's 15.08. I feel pretty lame at 10.5 and 7.5 respectively. Okay Guys & Gals... lets see your figures!

QASM Member | posted 07-28-1999 12:44 PM Thanx Jabba...I knew I was somewhat close! Oh and don't forget severe myopia from staring at the computer screen all day. Suitor, wake up! He's crashed out on the couch! Me on the other hand...I'm chillin in the Darth Maul chair, sippin an electric lemonade. We are now on our second viewing of A Life Less Ordinary when you want to join us TarynS. Thank god for cell phones so I can check up on Creepio's sis every now and then... Q IP: Logged |

Vrian Sinth Member | posted 07-28-1999 12:52 PM I can!! Pick me!! Jedi Knight TarynS, I can treat Carpal Tunnel Syndrom!! I'll wrap your hands up so you can't do ANYTHING and you'll have the prime excuse to be a slacker.Can I move into the lounge? I can bring my own bean bag and popcorn. You won't have to worry about a thing. I won't be much on doing the dishes cause I'm such a slacker. Master Creepio can teach me how to do the dishes with the force!! Sound good? Ahhhh. That tent was getting a little stuffy. Good to be in PSA!! SPOILER Darth Maul is a Sith!!! Not even kidding!

Amidala's Suitor Member | posted 07-28-1999 12:57 PM Q, I wasn't crashed on the couch,I was out water skiing w/ the Slacker Navy, where were you guys? Oh well, if you missed this one don't worry, there will be plenty more water ski trips in the future, this as Admiral of the Slacker Navy, I promise. Anyone wanna watch the Ewan/Obi Wan scenes in TPM in slow motion w/ me again? [This message has been edited by Amidala's Suitor (edited 07-28-1999).] IP: Logged |
Senator Binks2 Member | posted 07-28-1999 12:58 PM I think we definitely need a website.It will be THE "Star Wars reference for working people". Unfortunately, a project just landed on my desk for this afternoon, but I'll be brainstorming up here. If anyone has any suggestions for style or content, please post them. In an organization of slackers, it ALWAYS take more than one person to get the job done. .... just like it takes BOTH Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon to kill Maul. Each kept hoping the other would do it. Lazy *******s. IP: Logged |
C Creepio Member | posted 07-28-1999 01:02 PM THX 1204- Nice! Good stats, good stats indeed.Only 6 hours until I see TPM again (it's leaving Orlando soon. That's bad). My new nickname at work is Obi-Wan. It's almost official. My boss thought of it. What a guy! To add to my SW collection at home; An original 1977 Vader with cape and saber. $20. Not bad. Not bad at all. My collection continues to grow. I buy only original action figures from the 70's. (I have three of them so far) But I will have all by the time Ep2 comes out. I promise. That still counts as slacking because I tell people about my action figures at work. That means not only am I slacking, I'm causing others to slack- without them knowing! IP: Logged |
THX 1204 Member | posted 07-28-1999 01:07 PM Right I'm off home now European operations will have to be put on hold - I will bring this to the top tommorrow morning! The website is a great idea www.swmcmmj.com ? We could have our own forum! and be Administrators! Have a great day my Slacker friends! See you tommorrow! IP: Logged |
Obi Two Member | posted 07-28-1999 01:13 PM I am so happy to have this forum back. I was slacking off in my slacking with out it around. The Slack is my ally.Spoiler -> Palpatine is evil... And he hangs out with that Maul guy. IP: Logged |
Sabé Member | posted 07-28-1999 01:14 PM Have fun, THX 1204 ! Don't work at home either !Creepio, I'm honored to be your protocol slacker. I'll do my work with my usual dedication, and I promiss you won't be disappointed. Spoiler for Episode III : Anakin kills Obi-Wan at the lava-pit duel. The Obi-Wan in ANH is a clone.

C Creepio Member | posted 07-28-1999 01:38 PM All's well here. No more hacking. That thing was weird. Everytime I hit submit, it came back saying I was trying to hack into TF.N (which the true Jedi that I am could easily do anyway- even though I don't know a thing about hacking)."You're a slacker. Do you want to be a slacker the rest of your life?" -Strickland Personally, I would have answered yes. IP: Logged |
