| THX 1204 Member |  posted 07-30-1999 08:25 AM   Yeah I read about the 12 Killings this morning, a real tragedy. Put a lot into perspective.... Glad you're okay SandFarmer! On a lighter note I'm coming close to moaning at members for posting the same thing over, and over i.e Darth Maul in Ep 2. type of posts, it's like they think they're relly smart for not posting Sidous=Palpatine but are doing almost exactly that! We should convert them to slack more - then they'd know whats on all the threads! IP: Logged |
| Red One Member | posted 07-30-1999 08:33 AM I have just recently started slacking here but I already like it. I am doing nothing right now, except dreaming about Star Wars, etc.. and... I am thinking about you, Atlanta IP: Logged |
| C Creepio Member | posted 07-30-1999 08:53 AM  Uh.....Some of you need to go back and re-read page 7 of this thread. There is an important message from your leader, C Creepio (aka, me) that seems to have been ignored. TarynS, you may find it most interesting. IP: Logged |
| C Creepio Member | posted 07-30-1999 08:53 AM Ah... [This message has been edited by C Creepio (edited 07-30-1999).] IP: Logged |
| QASM Member | posted 07-30-1999 09:14 AM A6, I hope you haven't left for TN yet, but I got some more bad news today. Well, I don't know if it's bad so much as interesting and typical. I can't get to my email cuz someone else is on my computer (I'm on the student's), but give me a ring at work if you can later on. Or I will try and email you when this chick gets done doing whatever she's doing, but I have no idea how long she'll be... Q IP: Logged |
| Sandfarmer Member | posted 07-30-1999 09:17 AM Good morning everyone. Thanks for all the concern for QASM's and mine fair city of Atlanta. That shooting was very sad. Just to put it in perspective, I work about two blocks from where it happened and drive by there every day to and from work. With my job, I drive around the city a lot and was just down in Morrow where the guy lived earlier in the week. I am from a small town in Virginia originaly so this was the closest I had ever been to a major tragedy. On the good side, (if there can be one) a lot of my friends and relatives I had not heard from for a while called last night to make sure I was fine. It is good to be loved. On a sad note, I hear these jerks on the radio as I'm driving into work, and instead of giving condolences they are saying that if there were no gun laws and everyone carried a gun this would have never happened. I'm like what??!!! If everyone had guns we'd all be shooting each other over the last doughnut. God knows if I carried a gun, I'd be shooting at people on the interstate everyday. I just think it is absurd to use this tragedy to promote the NRA. Jedi Soul--thanks for the Natalie pic, you've made my day. MANDATORY SPOILER: The first word spoken in the entire SW saga is "Captain". IP: Logged |
| QASM Member | posted 07-30-1999 09:19 AM Oh and I want to thank all of you for thinking of us here in Atlanta, particularly dapper_bloke, THX, gundark, Red One. The city is really in a somber mood today. I'm sorry I'm not my usual jovial self, but it's really affected everyone. Supposedly it's the largest mass murder in GA history. It's days like this that make you remember how precious life is. Boy, all my posts are turning into philosophical musings on life, so I think I'm gonna give you all a break! I hope you all have a great weekend! Q IP: Logged |
| HydroSpammer Member | posted 07-30-1999 09:21 AM Creepio- You're the best poster in the business, hands down. I posted an episode II title in another thread that you may like - Star Wars 2: The Wrath of Porkins. Damn, it's Friday and I've been slacking all week. Too late to catch up on "w" now, after all it's Friday. IP: Logged |
| Antares_six Member | posted 07-30-1999 09:33 AM Sandfarmer...glad to hear you're okay. I was worried about Q because when I first heard about it they weren't saying where it happened. Glad I was way on the other side of town teaching in Lithonia. Although I've taught in Stockbridge a couple of times...which radio station were you listening to? I stopped listening to 99X because all they did was make fun of SW fans then I stopped listening to 96 rock because they were making fun of JFK Jr. So now I just listen to NPR. Q...what's up? Amidala's Suitor...Any Shiner Bock left? Or Shiner Blonde or Shiner Honey Wheat or...have you tried the new one yet? Is hasn't made it this far east. IP: Logged |

| Amidala's Suitor Member | posted 07-30-1999 09:45 AM Good morning all Slackers!! Well, I heard about Atlanta this morning on the way to work as well, and after reading your posts Sandfarmer, I'm glad to see you and QASM are both ok. This kind of thing always really gets to me, especially when children are involved. So anyway, I'm sorry to hear about that, MTFBWY both.

| Antares_six Member | posted 07-30-1999 09:46 AM Sorry for the double post, I got distracted. Q...enough suspense already! I can only deal with so much bad news in my life! IP: Logged |
| C Creepio Member | posted 07-30-1999 09:53 AM Yeah, everyone needs to go to page 7 and read the Official Slacker Awards. It's motivational. IP: Logged |
| QASM Member | posted 07-30-1999 10:02 AM A6, you've got mail IP: Logged |
| Antares_six Member | posted 07-30-1999 10:03 AM Q...I don't have your work or cell # with me...you must contact me! Spoiler...the Naboo think their brains are big. IP: Logged |
| Senator Binks2 Member | posted 07-30-1999 10:08 AM Glad everyone's ok. It felt odd hearing about the shooting *as* it was happening. They had the news story splashed all across the front page of the newspapers this morning, and all I could think about was knowing about it fifteen hours earlier. It gives you a completely different perspective on this kind of thing. Anti gun-control people scare me. By their logic, nuclear proliferation is a good thing -- "nukes don't kill people...." It's terrible that innocent people have to die because some numb-nut feels that *registering* their firearm is an infringement on civil liberties. In good news, though, I spent a while last night developing a 3D masthead for the SWMCMMJ web-site. (Hey, wasn't doing anything else....) It's looking pretty decent right now -- but I could use a photo of a nice office building to blow up with Tie Fighters or something. Anyone want to volunteer theirs? If so... just send a JPG/GIF to me by e-mail please (USSbegor@hotmail.com). I'll see what I can do. IP: Logged |
| Amidala's Suitor Member | posted 07-30-1999 10:12 AM Jedi Soul, refer to Creepio's post on page 1 ranking everyone in the slacker forum for my Navy references. (If you should decide you would like a position in the Slacker Navy, let me know and it's yours.)  Creepio, the awards were truly inspired and motivational. Rest assured, I will slack much more next week, seeing as I have now been given even more to strive for in the ways of the Slack. Mace Windu is a Bad Muthaf***er.

| Jedi Knight TarynS Member | posted 07-30-1999 10:14 AM Man, Im slowing down. Damn computer soo stinkin' slow. QASM you are most wise and honorable. I wasn't aware that you were near Atlanta, I must have forgoten. To you, and Sandfarmer, my thoughts are with you. MTFBWY both and your family. And Creepio thanks for sending me back to the 7th page
Slowly approachs The Master and goes down to one kneee Slack hard and slack often my fellow slaker brothers and siters. spoiler:Obi Wan will be in Episode 2 and 3!! IP: Logged |
| Amidala's Suitor Member | posted 07-30-1999 10:22 AM Oh, and one more thing, Jedi Soul, thanks for the pics. They were ok, I guess. (JK!)  IP: Logged |
| Antares_six Member | posted 07-30-1999 10:24 AM I hearby call a meeting of the Atlanta slackers (next week, when I get home from TN). What say you Q and Sandfarmer? Up for some TPMing? IP: Logged |
| C Creepio Member | posted 07-30-1999 10:25 AM Binks: if you can pull a SWMCMMJ website, as Yoda is my witness, I will resign my leadership to you, young senator. IP: Logged |
| QASM Member | posted 07-30-1999 10:38 AM Thanks for the card A6. I needed that. A meeting of the ATL branch of SWMCMMJ to go TPMing sounds splendid...especially if we call in sick to go! Sandfarmer..what say u? Q IP: Logged |
| Antares_six Member | posted 07-30-1999 10:38 AM Oh and Sandfarmer...you mentioned figures a while back...all the KB toys in the area are holding the new ones in the back...that's where I got my second Captain Tarpals (first one's from Electronics Boutique, they have good stuff but you pay a ton for it) and both our OOM-9's. You're right though, still no droidekas. I heard a wild rumor someone found a Jedi Anakin at a Wal-Mart in Gwinnett, but when I went there and asked they said they're putting out all the old one first. Hope this helps! IP: Logged |
| THX 1204 Member | posted 07-30-1999 10:48 AM My job s*cks....  IP: Logged |
| Vrian Sinth Member | posted 07-30-1999 11:05 AM Glad to see you're OK Sandfarmer. Two blocks away!! That's gotta be freaky!! My condolences go out to everybody. So did you all sleep well last night? (Those who slept YAWN....Looks like I'll be taking another one of those *ork slack naps!! IP: Logged |

| Obi Two Member | posted 07-30-1999 11:17 AM Good morning all! I am glad to hear you are OK Sandfarmer. Yesterday you posted that the shooting was near you and then we didn't hear from you again, I was sort of worried. I love coming in and catching up on the slack in the morning. I think I get here just in time for the East Coast Lunchtime Lull, oh well. Creepio, the awards were inspiring. It's great to know that slacking can reach such grand heights.

| Antares_six Member | posted 07-30-1999 11:22 AM Well Gundark...my Grandma lives in Fairfax...she's a slacker too although not of the Star Wars variety...she quit her (volunteer) job at the White House because it interferred with her golf game! I'll be up there for XMAS...in time for TPM to be rereleased for the holidays...maybe we can catch a show! IP: Logged |
| Jedi Knight TarynS Member | posted 07-30-1999 11:27 AM Man, it was easier for me to slack at the office then it is for me to slack at home. Who'd a thought. Hey Gundark Im due to be neart he DC area by next weekend. I'll be arriving in Maryland on Saturday afternoon, so if you and Intrigue007 are free Sunday Im up for some TPMing. Just like Q, Ant, and Sandfarmer before us. theory: The pilot of the Jedi/Ambassidor craft a girl? IP: Logged |

| Vrian Sinth Member | posted 07-30-1999 11:43 AM My fellow comrads have I got a story for you. About a week and a half ago, my poor car's Catalytic convertor broak down and is blocking my exhaust. I had no money and couldn't take it in to be fixed. I got paid yesterday and was finally going to take it in to get fixed this afternoon so I could have some trasportation!! I asked my boss if it would be OK to take the afternoon off (I do nothing anyway) to fix my car. He told me I had to stay, because they needed at least one person in the department, and everybody else is going golfing!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Need I say more. I am going to slack harder than I've ever slacked and make them know that Vrian Sinth cannot be taunted. SLACK will be my way and SLACK will be my pay!!! IP: Logged |
| Dara Starscream Member | posted 07-30-1999 11:45 AM It's dark in here. Because of the heat wave in Michigan the past few weeks, Consumer's Energy is asking everyone to turn off anything non-essential, and that includes the lights in here. I had to print up a 'Clerks'-esque 'I ASSURE YOU WE ARE OPEN!' sign for the door. Fortunately, we still have the computers (phew!) and above all, the AC. Q, Sandfarmer, glad to see you're all right. -Starscream Sebulba tailgates worse than my aunt. IP: Logged |
| Senator Binks2 Member | posted 07-30-1999 11:47 AM Know the feeling, gundark. I'm off this weekend to visit relatives I don't even know who live in upper NY... and I wanted to chill this weekend. <sigh> I hate these quasi-moral family obligations. They're a pain in the ass. A whole weekend of hot driving and no Internet. "When yousa be tinking wesa in trouble." IP: Logged |
| Jedi Soul Member | posted 07-30-1999 11:49 AM Gundark and Intriuge 007... You guys live in D.C.??? I was just there last weekend with my best friend!!!!! That's cool that you have fellow slackers in your city... I live in crappy 'ol Cleveland, OH. I hate this city... ....IP: Logged |
