Im getting very worried. I think someone stole my ANH:SE tape. It's been missing for over a month now and I've been methodically seaching for it. Reserving all judgement and trying to make sure that I didnt just misplace it. (Ya right like that would ever happen, but I had to make sure) Now after completing a thouruogh search of the house I can go crazy and accuse everyone in the house of having stolen it just to piss me off. Sad to say that their plan is working. I'm leaving for Maryland 5am saturday morning. Im about aready to force choke everyone in the house if I don't find that tape before I leave. I think it's pre-destined that I shall not own all three Star Wars tapes for more then 2 years. It's a curese I think. I used to own the originals when I was 15. I worked for 5 weeks for allowance pay so I could buy them. Then Something wicked comes and gives them away to her friendds. And to my surprise she never returns them!! Now I get SE and I think that wicked thing took ANH. What should I do? Im bordering Dark Side intentions here. Help!

Thanks C Creepio for your words of incouragement. I needed that. I would like to take this time to congradulate the following Slackers! dapper_bloke, beautiful job on the web page. Truly spectacular. Sand Farmer Im sorry you had to change your name again. You are indeed coragious and strong in the Slack Force. You are truer to your beliefs and no one shall keep you down. Stay Stong Fellow Slacker!! Stay Strong. I salute you. New Slacker Hacienda51 Lookin good in that pic I might add. If I were you Id demand that they give you a faster machine to slack at work with. You deserve it. It's that or a raise Obi Two and Darth Tater fellow slackers as well as a good dancing/drinking/partying partners. You two rock!!! and are soo funny when your wasted THX 1204 I've missed you too! You really deserve the Honoriffic that Creepio bestowed on you. You're a good slacker and my buddy.

dapper_blolke Here's a few things that might be a good idea to place on the web page.Creepio's administrators. quote:
gundark- My Apprentice. Indeed you have grown powerful, your dedication has been most impressive. But you are the one member who may rise to defeat me. After you kill me, be sure to tell people of my story.Jedi Soul- Another enthusiastic member. You are hereby promoted to the rank of Head Writer. We wait for you to dazzle us with your Ep2 rendition. 8/13. We can’t wait! hew- A long time slacker, one of the originals. You are promoted to the rank of Grand Moff hew. May you continue to reign slack on many an overachieving system. TarynS- Quickly growing in power. A most valuable asset. You’re my personal Mon Mothma. You will recruit, coordinate and train all new members. Darth XXX- What a great guy. I give you the honor of constructing the Porkin Presidential Library. Sabe- You’re from Paris and you translate books. That makes you a protocol slacker. You will stand beside me and translate all incoming messages written in foreign tongue. THX1204- London, huh? You are placed in command of all European slack. Quaff-Down Gin- A basher but slacker hopeful. I would like you to be my liaison with not only the rest of this council, but with the entire Internet in general. Shimmergloom- Able to prove any theory. Never a challenge too difficult, never a theory too impossible. For that, I promote you to the rank of “R2-D2”. Amidala’s Suitor- Tremendous dedication to the greater good. Willing to die for the good of the slack. Only the Admiral of the Slacker Navy would be so bold. QASM & Sandfarmer- You’re both from Atlanta. My sister lives there. You are now the Creepio Family Bodyguards. Jabbadabbado- Continued love of the forums has kept you sane. We need more people like you. I promote you to the rank of “Head Bounty Hunter”. You will seek out members hostile to the slackers and destroy them. You are free to use any methods available. dapper_bloke- One of the newer members. I have use for you aboard my sail barge. Binks2- The man. Also an original slacker, from the days when TPM was only a dream. You are my chief advisor. What happens to me affects you. You are also the General of my ground forces. Prepare your men. Arsinoe- A Canadian. You have been placed in charge of all international slacker operations in North, South & Central America. And our minor members (who all slack to their own respectable levels): Lord Chewy, Obi Two, Antares 6, Vrian Sinth and anyone else who I’ve left out. You are the band in the cantina on Mos Eisley. Play well and keep us smiling. Pizza the Nut- the mysterious rogue member. I’ve admired your ability to remain hidden. I promote you to the rank of Phantom Menace, wherever you are. Good luck and may the slack be with you.
That is if Creepio doesn't mind his stuff up there. I had another idea but I forgot what it was... oh well. It'll come to me later. Oh this list needs to be updated, but for the life of me I don't remember who needs updating. Hey Jedi Soul do you think you could dig up some more of Obi pictures. I really could use a fix.

So what's this SWMCMMJ:Ep 1 all about? Did he buy the rights off of you C Creepio?TarynS, fades in Pesonal Mon Motha to our most beloved Leader, Master Slacker C Creepio. I was just digging through our old office and I found this. I thougt it was a little funny SoCertainRU
quote:
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.
my reply to this is. Only those strong with the slack force can slack as much as we do. And a little bit of guts and dare. It's quite fun But my one of my lessons of the slack says it best. [qoute] You must avoid the dark side, flaming, slow post days, work, a healthy ambition to succeed in the work place, the dark side are they. Easily they flow... quick to join when promotion time comes around. Beware of them. A heavy price is paid for the power they bring. For once you start down that dark path forever will it dominate your destiny... Consume you it will. If you are to follow the ways of the Slack, be mindful of what you have learned today, and join C Creepio in his quest to enlighten the forum the ways of the Slack and just plain having fun. [/quote] To answer your question Tater it's my sister. All that is pure evil embodied into one being. by the way its' TarynS rookie, you will know the slack force when you are calm, patient and delay all possible work till the last minute.

Thanks TarynS. Stuff always goes to hell on Thursdays. I can't beleive they banned me. But I refuse to be a coward and hide behind a fake name. I will be Sandfarmer forever. (or until hotmail won't give me anymore addresses) Oh well, the slack goes on. p.s. To the administrators I appologized and changed my ways long before I was banned so please don't ban me again and if you do, please tell me why. I maintain that I broke no rule. If they thought I was trolling or flaming they just mistook a friendly joke. On with the slack. IP: Logged |

Good morning all, in our nice new home! So… The day has come. It is my final day at work! After many weeks of slacking, I have finally come to the end. I feel so sad, as I will only be able to post here on Thursday evenings, and I will be away on holiday for 2 weeks starting next week. Oh well… Darth Tater, I'll try posting that pic: Oh great!

hey you guys... moved again huh...? Sand farmer - I found your message in the SWMCMMJ e-mail... what's been happening...? banned again...?!!! I always miss all the fun... The SWMCMMJ website has a new look...!!! get over to http://welcome.to/swmcmmj and check it out... let me know what you think May I take this oppurtunity to give a belated thank you to C Creepio for awarding me the prestigious "Slacker of the Week" award... I'm sure I don't deserve it, but rest assured I will be boasting about it for weeks to come... I'm off work for the next week, so the website will not be updated until August 16th at the earliest - I will still try to make the odd appearance in here during the evenings... (my evenings that is - I'm 5 hours ahead of forum time...) If you want to get your photo in the Gallery before then you need to send it to me today... and finally, today is Friday, which is, as we all know, the Slacker's favourite weekday... Slack on brothers and sisters... IP: Logged |

*Sigh*This sucks. I got home from work, tired as nuts, and decided to take a short nap. I fell asleep at 9pm and woke up at 4am. NOW WHAT???? First thing I did....Came here. TarynS, your slack has made you very powerful. I am impressed. And yes, the slacker promotions need to be updated because we have new members and some old members who need promotions- like dapper_bloke. Crystena77: SW or girlfriend??? If I was ever in that situation, I'd say, "Star Wars is part of me. It's impossible to change. The choice is YOURS, my friend." I think.... Off to check out the website's new look... IP: Logged |

the plan for the next stage of website development is as follows...- a "Slacker's Mission Statement" to be penned by Creepio - this will probably sit on the front page... - a page that records the hard slacking winners of the Slacker Awards (for posterity or course...) - a page containing all the truly memorable quotes from SWMCMMJ threads over the ages, lest these pearls of wisdom and humour be lost forever - here they will find a safe and secure home... I'm having trouble getting into the old thread - can someone please assemble the list of past winners, and whatever quotes (with attribution) you want to see in the quote archive... - finally, how about a Ewan/Natalie page...? chock full o' pics...? I could put a drool-catcher at the bottom of the page... send em' if you got em' - swmcmmj@hotmail.com IP: Logged |

I guess while waiting for school to start again, I can't bring myself to wake up before 12:30. I am truly slacking. It will suck when I have to start a REAL job and end all that internship nonesense. It is unfortunate that I'm not posting in the day like most of the rest of the slackers. I must be a nocturnal creature like a racoon or a possum. I just can't sleep like a normal person."I'm NOT asleep" "You will be...you will be." IP: Logged |

someone just sent this to me by e-mail - I thought it relevant to post here and share with you all... quote: TEN BEST THINGS TO SAY IF YOU GET CAUGHT SLEEPING AT YOUR DESK:10. "They told me at the blood bank this might happen." 9. "This is just a 15 minute power-nap like they raved about in that time management course you sent me to." 8. "Whew! Guess I left the top off the White-Out. You probably got here just in time!" 7. "I wasn't sleeping! I was meditating on the mission statement and envisioning a new paradigm." 6. "I was testing my keyboard for drool resistance." 5. "I was doing a highly specific Yoga exercise to relieve work-related stress. Are you discriminatory toward people who practice Yoga?" 4. "Damn! Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out a solution to our biggest problem." 3. " The coffee machine is broken..." 2. "Someone must've put decaf in the wrong pot..." And the #1 best thing to say if you get caught sleeping at your desk... 1. ".....in Jesus' name. Amen."

Hi everybody !!! How've you been doing ?Great place ! You know, I'm in comics too, (french ones, of course) and I have this friend who's done a big square comic book which is called "500 moyens de glander au boulot"... Which means of course "500 WAYS TO SLACK AT WORK". So it's a page a minute, mostly... it goes from 08H00 in the morning to 05H00 in the afternoon, with looooooooong lunch and coffee breaks... And there is one idea by page (with a drawing, of course, it's a comic book)... of slacking. Isnt'it great ?

Good morning everyone. Hi rookie, ded, Garlic, Sabe', Creepio etc.. Another day begins and the chalenge of the slack begins. Hope I don't get banned again. dapper bloke-the new look on the page is great and the icons seem to work better-as far as my banning goes, check out the thread here in misc. titled "Please expalin which rule was broken". Basically I broke the unspoken rule that you can not talk about administrators decisicons. I was only joking around but apparently I can argue or joke with a member but if I argue or joke with an administrator I am banned. Crystenna77-any woman so self centered to ask me to give up SW would be gone. Slack on. IP: Logged |
