Author	Topic: I Love Star Wars But I Can Walk Away From This Job At a Moment's Notice
dapper_bloke Jedi Knight	posted 10-07-1999 12:07 PM I managed to stay away for almost 24 hours... even my resolve is slack... not only did the gorgeous Hacienda write the most incredible song to the tune of one of my favourite songs (which nearly brought me to tears) but then she goes and creates a 4AD thread - honestly, I ask you - how am I supposed to stay away from that...?!!! Hac - thank you honey... x then I stumble across Creepio's "Head Jawa - where's the Oscar?" thread in Misc - I laughed so much and realised how much I love coming in here and being part of all this... whatever issues I might have with the way certain people choose to administer these forums, I am not going to let it stop me hanging out with my friends... thank you all very much for the amazing things you wrote on the previous page... RedHot5 - please keep the website/chatroom/etc. - I don't have the time to keep it updated anymore, and I'm sure you will do a better job with it that I ever could... d_b [This message has been edited by dapper_bloke (edited 10-07-1999).] IP: Logged

Stellar Jedi Knight	posted 10-07-1999 01:00 PM Stellar struggles to extricate herself from work, but nothing seems to help. Each effort to escape seems to bind her further. Then suddenly she invokes the word that every workplace dreads: vacation! She shakes off the last receding coils of work and breathes a sigh of relief. hehehehehe! So good to be back. What with one thing and another, I haven't been here as much as I would like. Been lurking, but no time to post. I think my job is getting to me. Anyway, I'm off for the weekend to celebrate my birthday which was last Saturday. Thanks to everyone who gave me b'day wishes in the last thread. Happy late birthday Sandfarmer! IP: Logged

Fathead Jedi Knight	posted 10-07-1999 05:54 PM I just realized something, I only have until around my birthday to be a slacker! (If you want to know why you can ask) That means I'd better be slacking harder to make up for all the lost time I am going to have...Help me find a way to slack more! Fathead IP: Logged

Senator Binks2 Jedi Knight	posted 10-07-1999 06:42 PM I don't think I'd be able to quit even if I wanted to. When the Internet's already hooked up, it's just too easy.... Welcome back, dapper. IP: Logged
Darth Tater Jedi Padawan	posted 10-07-1999 09:10 PM Jedi Soul, you seem to be back full time, and yet you ignore my existence!!! dapper I knew there was more to you then money!!! (Please forgive me if someone said that before). Well, I'm still a slacker, but I'm having a very hard time getting online knowadays, as I have no internet at work and the school server is the worst I've ever been on. But I am still a slacker. I slack because I have to. It is part of my very essence, without the slack I am nothing. Slack on!!! IP: Logged
Twi'lek Babe Jedi Knight	posted 10-08-1999 03:39 AM Hastily jumps into thread, out of breath, looks around guiltily... Sorry I'm soooo late, night shift is half over, and we're on page three. (!) I'll make it up, I promise! At least it's a happy arrival. dapper's back, you're all back, the SLACK is back! And, it's FRIDAY..... IP: Logged
dapper_bloke Jedi Knight	posted 10-08-1999 04:33 AM The Empire Strikes Back - the lost scene INT: BESPIN GANTRY - MOMENTS LATER: A furious lightsaber duel is underway. DARTH VADER is backing LUKE SKYWALKER towards the end of the gantry. A quick move by Vader, chops off Luke's hand! It goes spinning off into the ventilation shaft. Luke backs away. He looks around, but realizes there's nowhere to go but straight down. Darth Vader: Obi Wan never told you what happened to your father. Luke: He told me enough! He told me you killed him! Darth Vader: No... I am your father! Luke: No, it's not true! It's impossible. Darth Vader: Search your feelings... you know it to be true... Luke: NO! Darth Vader: Yes, it is true... and you know what else? You know that brass droid of yours? Luke: Threepio? Darth Vader: Yes... Threepio... I built him... when I was 7 years old... Luke: No... Darth Vader: Seven years old? And what have you done? Look at yourself, no hand, no job, and couldn't even levitate your own ship out of the swamp... Luke: I destroyed your precious Death Star! Darth Vader: When you were 20! When I was 10, I single-handedly destroyed a Trade Federation Droid Control ship! Luke: Well, it's not my fault... Darth Vader: Oh, here we go... "Poor me... my father never gave me what I wanted for my birthday... boo hoo, my daddy's the Dark Lord of the Sith... waahhh wahhh!" Luke: Shut up... Darth Vader: You're a slacker! By the time I was you're age, I had exterminated the Jedi knights! Luke: I used to race my T-16 through Beggar's Canyon Darth Vader: Oh, for the love of the Emperor... 10 years old, winner of the Boonta Eve Open... Only human to ever fly a Pod Racer... right here baby! Luke looks down the shaft. Takes a step towards it. Darth Vader: I was wrong... You're not my kid... I don't know whose you are, but you sure ain't mine... Luke takes a step off the platform, hesitates, then plunges down the shaft. Darth Vader looks down after him. Darth Vader: Get a haircut!

Sandfarmer IV Jedi Knight	posted 10-08-1999 08:28 AM Good slacking dapper_bloke. The haircut line was the best. Thank the force it is Friday. Only 10 hours till 6pm and then I am free from this wreched enslavement. Slack on. IP: Logged
dapper_bloke Jedi Knight	posted 10-08-1999 08:52 AM I don't have the required talent to start re-writing lyrics - so I'll just post it as is... Hacienda - this is for you... ************************************* I feel so extraordinary Something's got a hold on me I get this feeling I'm in motion A sudden sense of liberty I don't care 'cause I'm not there And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow Again and again I've taken too much Of the things that cost you too much I used to think that the day would never come I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun My morning sun is the drug that brings me near To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear I used to think that the day would never come That my life would depend on the morning sun... When I was a very small boy, Very small boys talked to me Now that we've grown up together They're afraid of what they see That's the price that we all pay Our valued destiny comes to nothing I can't tell you where we're going I guess there was just no way of knowing I used to think that the day would never come I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun My morning sun is the drug that brings me near To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear I used to think that the day would never come That my life would depend on the morning sun... I feel so extraordinary Something's got a hold on me I get this feeling I'm in motion A sudden sense of liberty The chances are we've gone too far You took my time and you took my money Now I fear you've left me standing In a world that's so demanding I used to think that the day would never come I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun My morning sun is the drug that brings me near To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear I used to think that the day would never come That my life would depend on the morning sun...

Starfighter V2.0 Jedi Padawan	posted 10-08-1999 09:05 AM STAR WARS WILL COST ME MY FUTURE JOB. That's right. To lazy/idle/$hit scared of what will happen if I do to make a new thread. I am possibly the youngest person in history to give up on their future. Oh well. I say that as long as I have a roof over my head and food in my mouth I don't care what will happen to me. Hehehehe On a lighter note, my friend's horse had a foal today IP: Logged
