Time for the evening slacker crew to take over and pull this page back up to the top! *mmphhrrggh* There, back where it belongs. And now, a Star Wars at W*** story: A woman called on her account today and in reading the notes on it I verified "yes, we billed that to the OB-GYN consultant" and had to choke back a chuckle as soon as the words left my mouth. "Can you h-h-hold, pleeease?" I asked, breaking into giggles, as I realized that with all the plays on 'Obi-Wan' I've heard, read and thought of, this so far was NOT one of them! Poor woman probably wondered what was so hilarious about being put on hold! ![](http://theforce.net/forum/biggrin.gif) Glad to hear all on the east coast are still alive and slacking!!! ![](http://theforce.net/forum/smile.gif) IP: Logged |

This was awesome. It was wonderful. It was fantastic. It was...OK. Take deep breaths. Start again. I went to see TPM again today after last week's disappointment of missing it because the paychecks were late. It is still in my favorite theater, hasn't moved on to the discount theaters yet, though they have been showing it in the smaller houses for the last month and a half or so. So I buy my ticket, glance at it so I will know which way I will be going, go buy my soda, then go to the right auditorium. I walk in, look around, go back out and check the sign and my stub to be sure I am in the right one. Sure enough, it's the right one. They have it back in the largest house in the theater! Sure, it wasn't a very big crowd (middle of the day on a school/work day), but I got to see it in a very good auditorium again. The only sad thing is this may be one last run before going to the discount theaters. I could not believe my luck! I was the first one in, too, so I had my choice of seats. Anyway, it made my day off that much better. As Sandfarmer would say: YIPPIEEEE! IP: Logged |

I'm the master control guy for a small public access station that runs out of a Jr. College, and since I was browsing through the threads, I neglected the time and played the "Board of Supervisors Meeting" eleven minutes late. This broadcast is supposed to go out over the whole county, but thank goodness nobody watches. However, I'm sure someone will call and complain... Star Wars may very well cost me my job...

Okay, two SW stories from yesterday:I braved the non-hurricane to deliver a document to the courthouse, and I had not one, but two, count 'em, TWO SW moments. 1) I passed a white Escort with the license plate "PD RACER" ![](http://theforce.net/forum/biggrin.gif) 2) The baliff working security at the courthouse saw my Yoda keychain when I went through the checkpoint (man, is that thing a conversation piece!) and said, "hey, YODA! I'm a Jedi!" I smiled nicely b/c I wasn't sure if he was just messing with me or not, but he was nice enough. He handed me my keys, smiled and said, "May the Force be with you!" Slack on! OB2, you are a sick little monkey. ![](http://theforce.net/forum/biggrin.gif) We need more live bodies in the chat today, BTW... IP: Logged |

This is kind of a funny story. We were at lunch. Me, two girls who are pretty much SW loyal and an older lady who hasn't seen TPM (but her little kids have seen it 3 times each). We were talking about SW and my addiction. All three of these babes were saying I'm obsessed etc. Which I am. Then they mentioned that one fo their friends was pregnant. Immediately, I came up with the perfect scenario and pitched it to the table:When my wife (whoever she is) is pregnant. I'll make sure she's asleep, then sneak up on her, put a speaker against her stomach and play a tape of ANH right off the video. I will do this daily for the full 9 month term. That way the baby can hear SW and will be able to recite the whole movie word for word at birth- without ever having seen the movie! I got some good chuckles. One person rolled her eyes. ![](http://theforce.net/forum/smile.gif)

Before I announce my horrible news, I'd like to say to Creep... That is the best frickin' idea I've ever heard!... It's kinda like that story you sent me... ![](http://theforce.net/forum/wink.gif) The horrible news: My home computer crashed last night. I am at school right now. Everything was lost... My screenplay, all my poems, all my writing, and two papers that are due for AP English on Monday. We think that someone sent us a virus... we could be wrong. Anyway, I won't be on at all anymore, except after school once in a great while... uh... I hope you guys won't forget me... I love you all... The soonest we can get it fixed is in 3 weeks... May the Force be with you all... quote: Jedi Soul puts on her floppy hat, get's in her land speeder, and rides into the bianary(sp?) sunset...
Or something like that.....(That quote was by Sandfarmer, BTW...) Bye... IP: Logged |

We certainly won't forget you in three weeks, Jedi Soul, but I hope you will find a way to retrieve the work (school and personal) that you lost. ![](http://theforce.net/forum/frown.gif) All the computers experts here have no idea ? I thought it was possible to "dig up" lost files ?IP: Logged |

Sorry haven't been in here for a while.C Creepio: My mom saw SW three times ( dragged by father) when she was pregenant with me. They blame my addiction to SW on that. So your plan is funny- but perfectly plausible. ![](http://theforce.net/forum/smile.gif) IP: Logged |
