Sabé Member | posted 07-28-1999 05:17 PM Hey, Jedi Soul, if it's the script I want it too ! Please ! I'll be nice ! (It's my real e-mail up here.) And that was a GREAT picture of Obi-Wan. You should put it on the "Organized Obi-Wan thread.") God, that man is sooooo cute. It's so sad Anakin kills him at the end of Episode III. IP: Logged |
Obi Two Member | posted 07-28-1999 05:19 PM Has everyone gone home? I guess us west coast guys need to carry the slack while all the east coast guys are driving home from work. May the Slack be with us.IP: Logged |
Sandfarmer Member | posted 07-28-1999 05:23 PM Now that the PSA has been running for almost a day straight, did anyone ever see anything explaining what happened to the last thread? An appology? An explanation? That is just plain weird.Also just a reminder that we can't brag about how many posts the tread has or we will be shut down.

Vrian Sinth Member | posted 07-28-1999 05:26 PM Tacks? Ouch!! I thought of another thing you could we could do while sleeping. Draw eyes on your eyelids. The boss will never stop long enough to see if they're real. He'll just think you're way into your work cause your eyes are so wide open!!!Spoiler Gungans live underwater! IP: Logged |
Dara Starscream Member | posted 07-28-1999 05:26 PM You've got my vote Creepio! A greater master of slack we would be hard pressed to find.-Starscream Oh, and little dried froggie snacks cost seven wiuppi on Tatooine. IP: Logged |
Obi Two Member | posted 07-28-1999 05:35 PM Yeah, I could draw eyes on my eyelids, or I could get a ping pong ball and cut in half and draw eyes on them. Then it would look like I had just been staring at the screen for too long.Spoiler: When the Sand people try and shoot the pod racers, it's really funny!! IP: Logged |

Jabbadabbado Member | posted 07-28-1999 05:55 PM How do we rack up the posts so quickly? All this from a bunch of slackers. By the way, I'm putting in for vacation week after next.

Arsinoe Member | posted 07-29-1999 01:31 AM Poor Sandfarmer, we really gotta get him a Padme clone!!!C Creepio, your head of South/Central American and Canadian operations reporting in for duty, finally!!! I really have been slacking far too much!! I'm officially on vacation though! Too busy doing things like sleeping in til noon, reading EU novels all afternoon, reading SW related email (I'm on a mailing list) .. all in all a really slack day!!! I like the new office...too bad about the old one. I see Jedi Soul has put up the Ewan wallpaper!!! You Go Girl!! Do we have a head of Australian or Asian operations yet? Just curious .. we must spread the slack world wide!!! What's this Qui Gon dies!!!!! Nooooooo!!! *sniff, sniff* [This message has been edited by Arsinoe (edited 07-29-1999).] IP: Logged |
Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi Member | posted 07-29-1999 01:54 AM Well, I can only check the forums once a week or so, but slack on!TPM spoiler: Obi-Wan is cute!!! IP: Logged |
Dark Lord of the Garlic Member | posted 07-29-1999 02:39 AM "At last I have revealed myself to the slackers"I have been lying in wait for several weeks, posting here and there...only in cases of injustice(oh and just being a moron at times, but I'm allowed aren't I?). I want to offically announce my interest in becoming a slacker. In my past forum life I was someone not well versed in the ways of the slack, instead choosing to fufill my forum time with admin. bashing and foolishness. I now feel it is time for a change. Time to waste time. Time to learn how not to do stuff. Time to slack. Oh yeah, any advice on how to slack on the forums when you have clients in the office would be greatly appreciated. Oh yeah...TPM reference...umm....Jabba the Hutt looked in a lot better shape in TPM and ANH:SE than in RoTJ. You think Jabba might have become a slacker? Could there be a C Creepio of the Star Wars Universe? [This message has been edited by Dark Lord of the Garlic (edited 07-29-1999).] IP: Logged |
dapper_bloke Member | posted 07-29-1999 04:24 AM 9:26am - already slacking at work... starting my shift as nightwatchman over the office of the Slack... however being such a slacker, I'll probably just put my feet up in the security office, turn the portable TV on, smoke a few cigarettes and fall asleep... superb...!!! and I've got a really cool hat... IP: Logged |
Dark Lord of the Garlic Member | posted 07-29-1999 05:48 AM I'm even slacking when it comes to sleep. I guess it's one of those days when I need to "catch up" on my sleep cycle. You know...stay up all night and go to sleep at about 10 tomorrow...errrr......tonight. This is the most profound effect college and (currently) graduate school has had on me. Is that sad? No, I haven't gained much in the way of business experience...just insomnia. I have an appointment at the office tomorrow...errr...this morning at 9 am.....only about 6 hours and 20 minutes. GREAT! Well, maybe I'll be able to use that ping pong ball trick while that jabbering numbskull tatters my unattentive brain with promotional pitches. Maybe I won't get bothered with anything needing a hint of creativity all day. That would be nice. I must learn of the ways of the slack. IP: Logged |
THX 1204 Member | posted 07-29-1999 05:48 AM Morning dapper_bloke, nice to see there is another London Slacker. Our numbers are slowly growing! gundark, nice of you to point out I'd gone home yesterday.. I can't slack at home at the momemt as my modem's broken and my girlfriend has my laptop! Right European operations are open. Creepio can dapper_bloke be my wing man for Europe? IP: Logged |
Dark Lord of the Garlic Member | posted 07-29-1999 05:57 AM Geez....I need coffee. But wouldn't coffee signify work to be done this morning? Yes, I must resist....the dark side of..the slack...the coffee is calling. A question to all Slackers: "Is there a point, at which the slack consumes all aspects of life. A point in which we slack with regard to sleep, food, work, etc., that we can reach a state of "Slacker Trancendence"?

obi-wan's jedi knickers Member | posted 07-29-1999 07:28 AM Nice to see some OB1 lovers on this thread! Yee-ha! With all the guys blabbing about Natalie Portman, it's nice to have some balance in the force. Anyone have any jedi knock-knock jokes or anything? We need more SW jokes on this forum. IP: Logged |
Jedi Knight TarynS Member | posted 07-29-1999 07:31 AM Jedi Knight TarynS Reporting in for slack duty! Hello night Slackers.. Yeah we need to recruit some more EuroSlackers! The night shift is getting rather lonely. As recruiter I'll see what I can do boys! same for Asia and Australia. I wonder if there is anybody from Africa on here? If I wasn't such a slacker Id research some of that stuff. Who knows I just might. I just might. Because Jabba was asleep he never even knew about Anikin Skywalker. Nifty huh? Upsee Daisee (I know every day I come up with a new way to spell that. ) IP: Logged |
Dark Lord of the Garlic Member | posted 07-29-1999 07:39 AM Hmm....no knock-knock jokes here, but I have something. Horse walks into a bar.

Jedi Knight TarynS Member | posted 07-29-1999 07:48 AM Shocker story:Im in my cubbie reading previous posts while listening the ESB2 cd by John Williams of course. And pretty much minding my own business. Then this co-worker walks by and asks me what am I listening to. I tell him John Williams. ( really don't think they would let me hang around too long if they knew I was a star wars freak so I didn't mention the title). Then get this, He asks me "Who is he?"!! My mouth nearly dropped!! Mind you Iam from Massachusetts. The man was our lead orchestrator for a very long time before he retired. And he didn't even know who he is. This co-worker can't use age as an excuse for not knowing. He's well into his 50's. Am I wrong to assume that someone of his age should know who Jonh Williams? IP: Logged |
Dark Lord of the Garlic Member | posted 07-29-1999 07:59 AM Have you thought about the possiblity that they might be a closet SW fan? Maybe revealing their knowledge of JW could tip that off. Just a theory.Spoiler: James Earl Jones will not play Anakin Skywalker in Episode II [This message has been edited by Dark Lord of the Garlic (edited 07-29-1999).] IP: Logged |
Jedi Knight TarynS Member | posted 07-29-1999 07:59 AM Q We shall await your return. I'm going to try to say here till 6pm so tomorrow I wont have to come in. I had a hell of a time getting out of bed this morning. IP: Logged |
gundark Member | posted 07-29-1999 08:03 AM Good Morning Slackers. Nice to see you're doing nothing already. Today I'd like to know... What star wars related items do you have in your wardrobe. I currently own two shirts and a pair of silk boxers that proclaim the power of the force and such. How about you all ?

THX 1204 Member | posted 07-29-1999 08:05 AM obi-wan's jedi knickers most of the jokes are under the topic Hey new guy yeah you! or something to that effect. It was started by Freebeer.com have a look there!The P(SA) forum has been so boring this morning (UK time) hurry up and get to work America.. I'm bored, so bored that I've compiled posting averages for most of our regular posters, what a way to slack! - I'm sure people thought I was working on company stat's! So if you want to see them say so - otherwise I shall keep them to my self (in the interests of privacy ) I'm off to bring back the Real racial stereotype.. thread - I love that one! It's now on page 4, page 4 I ask! And I've found the Scripts to Ep. IV, V & VI on the internet ! To the top! IP: Logged |
Jedi Knight TarynS Member | posted 07-29-1999 08:10 AM DLotG, I wish! No one here is into star wars. Last year there were tons, but they all left for better jobs. But if he were a sloset star wars fan wouldnt he have known who JW is. I mean I would even assume non-star wars fans know who he is. But that's just me.So Intrigue when were you planning on sending me a hello. I know you lurking out there. No need to hide. You can reveal yourself to your fellow slackers Jar Jar looked pretty silly in the battle sceene. Way too many lucky shots on his part and misses on the droids. No droid is that bad a shot! I mean what company produced those things, It's no wonder we dont see them in Ep 4, 5, 6, They really suck.

Jedi Knight TarynS Member | posted 07-29-1999 08:17 AM hey! THX Im here! What's up? I feel your pain. I wanted to be on last night, but I was so sleepy I hit my pillow like a rock and never came up till 5amEDT. Hey what time is there now?IP: Logged |
Dark Lord of the Garlic Member | posted 07-29-1999 08:21 AM It is my belief that the Battle Droids were manufactured by Ford. I had a 1995 Mustang until last year. In three years I had to replace three transmissions, two sets of brakes, my air conditioner, and had to get it realinged too many times to count. Therefore, it had to be Ford behind those droids.IP: Logged |
THX 1204 Member | posted 07-29-1999 08:28 AM Nice to see you TarynS had a bit of aproblem with that post... I hit the submit button about an hour ago - went to get a sandwich. When I came back I just had a Proxy Server Request (Internal Password thing for those of you who don't know!) so it's about an hour out of date! It's now 1:30 pm here and very Sunny IP: Logged |
dapper_bloke Member | posted 07-29-1999 08:44 AM 1:40pm here and it is very sunny indeed...planned to get in some quality slacking today - but I forgot I had two vitally important meetings to attend today... but hey, I underestimated the power of the Slack... just got back from slacking my way through the first one, and I got such a good result - much better that if I had been working hard and paying attention... planning to slack even more this afternoon - who knows what benefit it bring...!!!

C Creepio Member | posted 07-29-1999 08:57 AM "Good morning! Nice of you boys to drop by!"Saw TPM last night for the 6th time (I know, only 6?). Noticed that R2 runs over a piece of Poo-Doo. Has anyone seen that? It was pretty hard to notice. Sandfarmer: the Pirate Guy looked better than ever. I think they enhanced his footage in recent weeks. Lord of Garlic: your insight serves you well. You are a valuable asset to the slack. I promote you to the rank of: Imperial Guard With The Slanted Helmet. THX: d_p your wingman will be.
