Jedi Knight TarynS Member	posted 08-12-1999 10:18 AM I love the award list. I get so excited about seeing who's not done some type of w--k, or someone who's shown some rather cool slacking ability. Hey Gundark. Im not sure what it is either. As a matter of fact I don't even know where i picked up the word. Jedi Soul I can't wait to get your story. And that advertisement you made some odd pages ago. That was just tooo cool for words. How many more days till the story comes out? IP: Logged

Slacker of the Week: gundark- for all his many slack-related posts and the post "do not or really do not...there is no do." The man has been a beautiful apprentice. The wisdom..... May the Slack Be With You IP: Logged
Amidala's Suitor Member	posted 08-12-1999 10:33 AM Of course I dreamt of you Jedi Soul. while listening to the sounds of Shine a Light by Spiritualized...(sigh) Anyway, good morning everybody, my slacking at work has carried over to slacking at home. I feel the Slack getting stronger with each passing moment! [This message has been edited by Amidala's Suitor (edited 08-12-1999).] IP: Logged

Hacienda51 Member	posted 08-12-1999 10:51 AM gundark-- where were you? I was on the upper deck in the little area in front of the bar, dead center, dancin' like a fool. This was my third SC show, 2nd at 9:30. First time I saw them was at VA Tech, and some 12-year-old kid kept trying to stage-dive, and the bass player personally threatened to kick his a$$. It was awesome. They are just too cool. So did ya go backstage and meet everybody? Or has that not happened yet? Gimme details!!! (By the way, welcome Padawan Slacker RedHot5 and thank you for my Slacker Awards. Slack approval is the only award I need. ) IP: Logged
Vrian Sinth Member	posted 08-12-1999 11:00 AM Well guys, sorry I wasn't around yesterday. I had a tornado here in Salt Lake City pass my office by about 2 block. Awesome site though. That doesn't happen too much here. The power went out and I went home. The tornado helped me slack!!! The only problem is that it took me 4 hours to get home cause down town Salt Lake City was closed. What a pain in the butt!!! Well, I'm back and no tornado is keeping me from slacking with you guys today!! IP: Logged
C Creepio Member	posted 08-12-1999 11:00 AM Funny story!! This little short guy was in the lobby. Well, he had a little pony tail just like Obi-Wan's in TPM but only, I wasn't thinking about that because I was too busy researching the slackers awards. This girl across the lobby (who's SW loyal) kept looking at the guy and smiling at me. I wondered why she kept smiling but pretty much kept my eyes on the computer. I didn't know why she was smiling. But when the guy left, the girl was still smiling at me. I gave her a look, "Why are you smiling?" She pointed at the guy as he left and whispered, "Padawan." Thus, a huge grin broke across my face. Indeed....... IP: Logged
gundark Member	posted 08-12-1999 11:01 AM i met them all briefly at the first 9:30 show, we talked to Mark and Sebastian the most, M and Yuval were swamped with women and therefore a little less accesible. Last night i was with a group of people right near the front of the stage towards the left. Right next to where those idiots started moshing near the end. It never fails some ******* always starts that poodoo... But evertime i've seen them they have handled it instantly even coming to a dead stop in super bon bon once. ( that might even have been at 9:30 ) IP: Logged
Senator Binks2 Member	posted 08-12-1999 11:05 AM Hey guys... Work has just piled on, so I don't know how active I can be today. I think General MacArthur said it best, gundark: "Old slackers never die, they just fade away...." BTW -- If people are bored and looking for things to read, check out my "TPM - Revisited" thread - which was bumped to the Fan Fiction page yesterday. It was inspired by Hacienda's "Amidala Slacks" story.... Anyway, I'll drop in later, catch you all around..... IP: Logged
Obi Two Member	posted 08-12-1999 11:22 AM Ahhh... You honor me master Creepio. I am eternally grateful. I agree with gundark, it's Thursday, so I must prepare for Friday, which means, slacking! IP: Logged
Hacienda51 Member	posted 08-12-1999 11:39 AM Vrian-- glad you survived...I saw the pics on the news and it looked pretty rough... gundark-- going back again tonight? If my boyfriend wasn't sick, we definitely would... IP: Logged

Hacienda51 Intrigue007 Vrian Sinth Obi two Darth Tater(Anakin Skytater ) gundark I would like to give an award out to C Creepio for exellent leadership and slacker stories ,(Hey, since he makes the awards, he never gets one so I'm giving an award to him ).

Obi Two Member	posted 08-12-1999 12:06 PM and more... and more... IP: Logged
Hacienda51 Member	posted 08-12-1999 12:08 PM gundark-- they played SFJ at the Tech show. That's the boyfriend's fave song too. I have many favorites, and I think they played all of them but one... They played Moon Sammy, Bus to Beelzebub, Super Bon Bon and Blame. They did not play Screenwriter's Blues. But they played SB AND Janine last time, which was awesome. Jedi Soul-- (gundark, please correct me if my description isn't accurate) Soul Coughing is a NYC-based quartet making some of the most original yet listenable music out there. They're heavily influenced by jazz and there's a big Beatnik streak going through the music. The lyrics and delivery are very deadpan and rather Dada-esque. It's very hard to describe them in a way that does them justice. If you like REAL alternative music, you'll appreciate Soul Coughing. I suggest their first album called "Ruby Vroom" as an introductory. Actually, I remember reading somewhere where some critic described them as "slacker jazz." Yeah!

C Creepio Member	posted 08-12-1999 12:28 PM Yes, Jedi Soul, thank you for the award. Halfway through the day and not a thing to do.... Except start a thread on the historical significance of the game balf and it's relationship to the plight of the slaves on Tatooine. IP: Logged

Sand farmer Member	posted 08-12-1999 01:12 PM Hey everyone. I just infiltrated the City of Atlanta Court System with SW Slacking. I had to go to court today for my firm and I hate wearing ties so I wore my Star Wars tie. Everyone noticed. This tie is very tacky. Big pictures from ANH all over it. Very obnoxious. All the Atlanta City Cops were like "Cool tie". It ruled. IP: Logged
Hacienda51 Member	posted 08-12-1999 01:19 PM Sand farmer-- are you a law firm slacker too? IP: Logged
Jedi Knight TarynS Member	posted 08-12-1999 01:29 PM Way to go Sand farmer with the tie and all. Hi Gundark. Hi Hacienda. What's up? IP: Logged
Jedi Knight TarynS Member	posted 08-12-1999 01:34 PM I've never posted a pick before. Why don't I give it a try and see if it works. Crossing fingers. IP: Logged
C Creepio Member	posted 08-12-1999 01:34 PM Yes! Sandfarmer rules!!! How much do we all love Jedi Soul's hype for the EpII screenplay. It's like a miniature real life Episode 2 party- from the comfort of our own slacker's forum. P.S. Anyone think it's time to start a new thread? IP: Logged
Obi Two Member	posted 08-12-1999 01:39 PM It might be a good idea Creepio. This one is getting sort of unwieldy(sp?). Plus it's Thursday, so something bad is bound to happen to the server, let's beat it to the punch. Slack on... IP: Logged
Jedi Knight TarynS Member	posted 08-12-1999 01:40 PM Might as well,Master Slacker Creepio. You know we'll follow where ever you lead us. It will speed the posting up some. I would be a prudent choice of action IMHO Cool my image post worked. Im so syked(sp?) IP: Logged
C Creepio Member	posted 08-12-1999 01:44 PM Ok. New thread will begin in two minutes.... See you all there!!!! IP: Logged
gundark Member	posted 08-12-1999 01:46 PM how about when we hit 500 posts ? IP: Logged
