Also checked out the pic, and shall I say it had a certain Jarvis Cocker kind of quality to it. (I mean that in a good way ) Maybe it was the cig. Anyway, good job! ![](http://theforce.net/forum/smile.gif) IP: Logged |

Hacienda51 Member | posted 08-03-1999 09:01 AM ![Edit/Delete Message](http://theforce.net/forum/edit.gif) Good morning, fellow slackers...thank you for the warm welcomes to your slacker kingdom. ![](http://theforce.net/forum/smile.gif) It's 9 am, I'm at my desk, so let the slacking begin! Tale of free-time slacking: I was supposed to go work out last night...instead, I slacked off with my friend. We made cupcakes, watched "Brassed Off" (but that's for the Lewan McNeeson temple) and worked on my Queen Amidala Halloween costume. Cupcakes and papier-mache...the ultimate kindergarten slack fest! Beats running. Now I have a stack of stuff to do here, but I will manage to squeeze in some good slacking today. "The girl's a slacker...they can all sense it, why can't you?" IP: Logged |
obi-wan's jedi knickers Member | posted 08-03-1999 09:04 AM ![Edit/Delete Message](http://theforce.net/forum/edit.gif) How exactly do you become an administrator anyway? Are they just a self-perpetuating oligarchy of tyrannical beings? How can we penetrate their defenses and promote one of our own, who will restore peace and justice to the galaxy? The misc. forum is a new hope for all on the discussion forums--the rebellion must not fail! Help us, Obi-Wan Kenobi!And who the heck is Jasman, really? And why must he do all those mean things?

Senator Binks2 Member | posted 08-03-1999 09:19 AM ![Edit/Delete Message](http://theforce.net/forum/edit.gif) Hey everyone... I tried to check in yesterday, but the server kept hassling me so... just didn't bother.dapper_bloke -- nice job so far. The picture looks fantastic... Amidala's Suitor's probably on his way over. Anyway, as I mentioned earlier, I was away from home for most of the weekend (it was a tough time... I actually found myself missing the Internet (God, I'm pathetic). Anyway, I churned this out last night. I'll probably be tinkering with it over the next while... but here's the first draft. Anyway, I'll check in later to catch up with everyone. BTW -- this MISC garbage is really starting to bother me. Creepio, you should start up a SWMCMMJ: P(SA) Edition. IP: Logged |

The Sandfarmer Member | posted 08-03-1999 09:28 AM ![Edit/Delete Message](http://theforce.net/forum/edit.gif) Good work Dapper Bloke. The links actually work and stuff. I would send you a pic but I need a scanner. I'm trying to make a web page to support my band but I don't know how to do anything. I just got my first computer a few months ago and this is a whole new world to me. I think my cousin has a scanner and I will take a pic over there and scan it to the web page. On with the slack.IP: Logged |
The Sandfarmer Member | posted 08-03-1999 10:04 AM ![Edit/Delete Message](http://theforce.net/forum/edit.gif) Been here two hours and have not worked yet. Slack on.IP: Logged |
Jedi Knight TarynS Member | posted 08-03-1999 10:10 AM ![Edit/Delete Message](http://theforce.net/forum/edit.gif) Because Sabé it's very un- Mon Motha Like. and as a recruiter I can only show my affections for people I'll never have a chance in hell wiht. People like Ewan/Obi-Wan. ![](http://theforce.net/forum/smile.gif) So that's all the post we slackers can do in an hour. For shame we can slack better then this. Hacienda, you're making an Amidala Costume? I want one, But Im a Jedi Knight. Could you make me on like the one Luke has in ROTJ? j.K. as a slacker you'd never get it done on time. ![](http://theforce.net/forum/smile.gif) Do they have that costume for girls? IP: Logged |

Hacienda51 Member | posted 08-03-1999 10:24 AM ![Edit/Delete Message](http://theforce.net/forum/edit.gif) Actually, TarynS, I'm such a slacker that I need a friend to help me make a Halloween costume. We just made the head last night...we're too slack to do more...we need a week to rest up before we can make the dress.She might be able to do the Jedi outfit for you, but she's moving to Wales in a month so act fast. ![](http://theforce.net/forum/smile.gif) IP: Logged |
Hacienda51 Member | posted 08-03-1999 10:33 AM ![Edit/Delete Message](http://theforce.net/forum/edit.gif) Of course, true slackers never "act fast." ![](http://theforce.net/forum/biggrin.gif) IP: Logged |
dapper_bloke Member | posted 08-03-1999 10:41 AM ![Edit/Delete Message](http://theforce.net/forum/edit.gif) TarynS - at least I got to read it before it was edited... but I wish you had left it how it was...good to get some positive feedback from you all... I'm particularly pleased with the Jarvis Cocker comment... ![](http://theforce.net/forum/smile.gif) Senator Binks2 your graphic is looking good - if you are going to continue working on it, you could use the following gif for the background... http://homepages.go.com/~swmcmmj/starfield.gif which is the one used as page backgrounds so your graphic will blend in seamlessly... that picture of me is looking particularly lonely in the Slacker's Gallery, so send your pics ASAP and I will put them up...

This is so great, I can get into the forums, but I can't get into the programs necessary to do my work!! IT'S THE GREATEST DAY EVER FOR SLACKING!!!! IP: Logged |
Jedi Knight TarynS Member | posted 08-03-1999 11:10 AM ![Edit/Delete Message](http://theforce.net/forum/edit.gif) dapper_bloke, it was an honest comment. But I get kind of skiddish when I say stuff like that. Don't ask me why. I don't know why. ![](http://theforce.net/forum/smile.gif) Hey today is my last day on this IP address!! And because it's my last day here. I get to do absolutely nothing at all. Now that's slacking. The only downer is that I have to go to a lunchoen at 11:45apm EST with a co-worker. I'd rather sit here and post and chat with you guys. ![](http://theforce.net/forum/smile.gif) But hopefully it wont last long. My goal of reaching 200 posts in a week is not lookin good. I need to slack harder. He has Creepio arrived yet? Now keep up the slacking. IP: Logged |

Senator Binks2 Member | posted 08-03-1999 11:49 AM ![Edit/Delete Message](http://theforce.net/forum/edit.gif) Come on in and grab a seat Sargelike.dapper_bloke -- dammit, that picture is hilarous. I'll have to get something scanned in, but it's on its way. It'll also probably be something like that.... being a lazy college student, the only time I'm photographed is when other people pull out their cameras... which usually happens at pubs, clubs, etc. I'll re-vamp the image across that background tonight. It actually wasn't all that hard to make. I had another version with a TIE and X-Wing and an exploding Death Star -- but it looked pretty cluttered. Creepio, what about that SWMCMMJ: P(SA) Edition? We deserve to be there.... IP: Logged |

THX 1204 Member | posted 08-03-1999 12:10 PM ![Edit/Delete Message](http://theforce.net/forum/edit.gif) Okay, I think one of you has applied to my company, which one of you sent this resume? NAME: ????
DESIRED POSITION: Reclining. Ha ha. But seriously, whatever’s available. If I was in a position to be picky, I wouldn’t be applying here in the first place. DESIRED SALARY: $185,000 a year plus stock options and a Michael Ovitz style severance package. If that’s not possible, make an offer and we can haggle. EDUCATION: Yes. LAST POSITION HELD: Target for middle management hostility. SALARY: Less than I’m worth. MOST NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT: My incredible collection of stolen pens, post-it notes and Star Wars figures. REASON FOR LEAVING: It sucked, internet access revoked. HOURS AVAILABLE TO WORK: Any. PREFERRED HOURS: 1:30-3:30 p.m., Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIAL SKILLS?: Yes, but they’re better suited to a more intimate environment. MAY WE CONTACT YOUR CURRENT EMPLOYER?: If I had one, would I be here? DO YOU HAVE ANY PHYSICAL CONDITIONS THAT WOULD PROHIBIT YOU FROM LIFTING UP TO 50 LBS?: Of what? DO YOU HAVE A CAR?: I think the more appropriate question here would be “Do you have a car that runs?” HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY SPECIAL AWARDS OR RECOGNITION?: SWMCMMJ most valued member, 4 weeks running for the last month of my previous job. DO YOU SMOKE?: Only when set on fire. WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE DOING IN FIVE YEARS?: Living in the Bahamas with a fabulously wealthy super model who thinks I’m the greatest thing since sliced bread. Actually, I’d like to be doing that now. DO YOU CERTIFY THAT THE ABOVE IS TRUE AND COMPLETE TO THE BEST OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE?: No, but I dare you to prove otherwise. SIGN HERE: Scorpio with Libra rising. IP: Logged |
