Darth Genius Member | posted 07-30-1999 02:47 PM Ladies and Gentlemen, I know I have slacked in my slacking duties this week, it has been a killer week at work and I have been really busy(I know no exuces for those stong with the slack)We have had visitors all this week and it's mandatory for the employers to show off the 19 year old engineer working at their firm. So any time a visitor comes in(all week) I have to be busy, While I have been away many things have happened, The death of the special edition gave rise to Episode VII. Now everyone has ranks, and I who have been here since our master Creepio set up the second incarnation of this thread was left out of the promotions due to my absence. Master do with me as you see fit, I'm here only to do NO BIDDING, only to SLACK. MANDATORY SPOILER: Ben Quadinaros looks like Mr. Potato Head. IP: Logged |
Shytei Shen Junior Member | posted 07-30-1999 02:51 PM C Creepio, nice thread. The slack machine is fully functioning IRL here. I've blown off the last few hours of work at least 14 times to get my necessary TPM viewing. Jedi Soul, your "Haunting" experience! LOL! That's too great. I wish people would speak up in theatres in my world. The only thing i ever get to hear are kids screaming or crying. "Use the Force Qui-Gon!" Oh, man my sides hurt... IP: Logged |

I could always go shopping for some TPM underwear!! hummmJedi Soul, I don't think I will be going to see The Blair Witch Project .. too scary for me!! Mesa skeerred just tinkn' about dat!! Oh, Darth Tater still thinks he's our father!! hehehe What a silly Emperor! on a more serious note: I am glad to hear that Sandfarmer and Q and all the rest of our Atlanta friends are safe and sound. That had me worried a bit last night. I wish people wouldn't use incidents such as these to promote guns and gun use .. I'm a Canadian and the NRA just gives me the whillies!

Jedi Knight TarynS Member | posted 07-30-1999 03:07 PM Welcome back, Darth Genius, and absolutejediAnd greetins new slacker Shytei Shen. Yeah Jedi Soul 19!!!! and he wanted to see muppetes in space. Id worry about him. My brother just turned 15, and so he's still into semi-corny shark movies. He's lucky Samuel L Jackson is in it otherwise he's have gotten a flat out no from me. No matter how much begging he does. He's really good at begging let me tell you. spoiler: Vader is not in TPM IP: Logged |
Dara Starscream Member | posted 07-30-1999 03:33 PM (yawn)Sheesh, what a day! Boring, boring, boring. (I am making progress on my fanfic though . . .) -Starscream Spoiler: No naked Jedi . . . IP: Logged |
Jedi Soul Member | posted 07-30-1999 03:39 PM Hi everyone... Shytei Shen... Cool name, by the way... I'm glad you liked the story. Yeah, I wish I could find more people like that! Arsinoe Check your email in about five minutes. I'm sending you an EXTREMELY important message that you must share with no one ... Darth Tater I've accepted the truth that you were once Anakin Skytater, my father. I feel the conflict within you... Let go of your hate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jedi Knight TarynS I've got an idea... ... Tell you're brother that you'll go see "Deep Blue Sea" with him as lomg as he sees a movie you want to see the next day, no questions asked. Then take him to go see "The Blair Witch Project" and scare the living sh*t out of him!!!!! Trust me... he'll never bug you to see another movie again... ! Well, fellow slackers, I'm signing off now until Monday. I'll tell you how TBWP was... until then, here's some pics to brighten your weekend...(Sorry, Lady Brix... I'll find some Liam pics by Monday, ok??? ) Natalie Portman Ewan McGregor HAVE A NICE WEEKEND EVERYONE!!!!!!!!! IP: Logged |
Darth Tater Member | posted 07-30-1999 03:45 PM Jedi Soul, you haven't sent me the screen play yet. Is it almost done? Yet another great Natalie pic Sincerely, Your EmperorIP: Logged |
Nobody Important Member | posted 07-30-1999 03:47 PM I wish I could join you slackers. However, technically, I'm not a slacker because I have nothing to slack at or in other words, no work to do. (That's not necessarily a bad thing, though. ) E1/E2 Spoiler: Queen Amidala was a mime before she became Queen, hence the makeup. BTW-MTSBWY (By the way, may the Slack be with you.) IMTAU (I made this acronym up.) Indifference leads to laziness. Laziness leads to slacking. Slacking leads to the . . . SWMCMMJ thread. IP: Logged |
Amidala's Suitor Member | posted 07-30-1999 03:47 PM Jedi Soul and TarynS, what may I ask is wrong with the Muppets? I'm going to see Muppets in Space this weekend and I'm 25. Maybe it's a guy thing or something, but I think the Muppets are hilarious. Statler and Waldorf, Rolf the Dog, Gonzo and Fozzie Bear all rock! Oh well, like I said, maybe this is just a guy thing.

C Creepio Member | posted 07-30-1999 03:50 PM TarynS, beautiful job. Simply beautiful. I could not have appointed a better "Mon Mothma". Yes, welcome to all our new slackers. Our alliance has grown strong. Soon, Star Wars slack will rule the world.

Obi Two Member | posted 07-30-1999 04:04 PM Nice pic of Natalie. She is a cutie, no doubt about it! The Slack is strong with us, at last we will reveal ourselves to the Admins. Oh wait, we already have. Slacking doesn't require something to slack at, the slack is everywhere, it envelops us. Be at peace witht he slack and all will be revealed.... Spoiler: They really meant Slack when they said Force in Star Wars... [This message has been edited by Obi Two (edited 07-30-1999).] IP: Logged |
Jedi Soul Member | posted 07-30-1999 04:07 PM Ok, THIS is my last post...Darth Tater... Check you email... And the screenplay is to be released on August 13, 1999. Amidala's Suitor I do believe you and my brother should talk. You listen to the same music, you both love the Muppets and Star Wars... What could go wrong??? Actually, it was a cute movie... I liked it alot ! GOODBYE! IP: Logged |

STAR WARS BRAIN Member | posted 07-30-1999 04:38 PM I overheard my boss tell someone that everyone had to stay an hour late at work today. So I approached him before our scheduled meeting (at which time he would he was going to announce this) and told him I had to help my brother move into his new house, so I need to leave an hour early. Really I am going to see TPM again. Here's the best part, my boss had to make an extra trip to the bank to get my pay check early and when he gave it to me he saw me posting something asked to read it. He looked at me puzzled and then I said "I got to go." On my way out he said "May the force be with you" IP: Logged |
Darth Tater Member | posted 07-30-1999 05:15 PM Suitor, you were kidding, right? Well, another work day is coming to a close. I won't be able to post much this weekend, so i'll see you all on Monday. MTSBWY! Sincerely, Your EmperorIP: Logged |
Obi Two Member | posted 07-30-1999 05:52 PM They want to move us to the Misc forum, the don't know the full power of the Slack! Don't our spoilers count as Prequel related discussion?IP: Logged |
jasman Administrator | posted 07-30-1999 05:53 PM I have received several complaints from members via email about threads in P(SA) which are totally non-Prequel-related and are nothing more than chat rooms for a small number of people. I agree that this is really not appropriate in this forum. All "Slacker" and "Basher" threads are now being moved to the Miscellaneous Forum.IP: Logged |
Obi Two Member | posted 07-30-1999 06:04 PM We've been moved!!!!IP: Logged |
Jedi Knight TarynS Member | posted 07-30-1999 06:20 PM TarynS slowly makes her way through the croud of loyal Slackers to Master C Creepio Greetings my Master, C Creepio Your words due me much undeserved credit. I feel the Slack force growing more powerful within me. But, I still have much to learn from your wisdom, Creepio, Master of the light, Master of Slack. May the Slack be with you.spoiler: Ewan is Hotie! Wooooo Hoooo, Hamina hamina hamina!! Will comment on relocation in next thread> Slowing lapsing toward the dark side. Must reist. Must Resist!!

Jedi Knight TarynS Member | posted 07-30-1999 06:40 PM I must continue with my slacking, even though we've been moved. I do this with a heavy heart. I will not let my sadness overwhelm me. Greetings new Slakcer Nobody Important, RedHot5 You don't need a job to be a slacker. You can do absolutely nothing and still be a slacker. Welcome to your group. My only advise for now is to Slack Hard and Slack often. If you do so soon you will be one with the Slack Force, like our Master Creepio before us. Slack on.. Slack on.... Trying very hard not to cry...

SoCertainRU Member | posted 07-30-1999 08:24 PM How do all of you manage to slack, but keep your jobs? The answer, to me, is quite elusive. I seriously need a job like the ones you guys have.IP: Logged |
absolutjedi Member | posted 07-30-1999 08:33 PM Well, after more than a week of server problems at work, I finally get back to some SERIOUS slacking (don't worry, I found ways to keep myself amused - and do no work - without forums) I'm back long enough to post a couple of hellos to my slacker family, and "POOF" the whole cantina disappears. Oh well, at least it was relocated and not simply shut down by the powers that be (but man, did that little padlock scare the heII out of me). This neighbourhood isn't so bad. The Bashers must be around here somewhere (someone to play/spar/conspire with) and while this is a change, the Slack is fluid. It flows like a living cell. It is ever changing, ever adapting. I'll miss the old place, but sometimes you've just got to lay back and let the slack groove in its own way. After all Slack in Misc. is better than no Slack at all n'est pas?That said, I await the opinion of our fearless leader. He is the strongest of us in the slack, and where he goes, I follow (I just hope he's not going into a Rancor's nest or something) . Slack on my brothers and sisters. Slack on.

absolutjedi Member | posted 07-30-1999 09:27 PM Just sending this back to the top so that any "West Coast Slackers" or members of "Slackers International" can find there way to the new digs. Also, I didn't get much quality slacking done at work today, so I'm trying to make up for it here at home.IP: Logged |
