View Full Version : Turn every reply into a Star Wars discussion
Several threads I've started recently have rather bizarrely morphed into Star Wars discussions, despite starting out not having anything to do with Star Wars.
So I've decided to make a game out of it. Everyone one who posts must take whatever non-Star Wars statement ended the last post and somehow make it about Star Wars.
For instance, if I post "I ate Corn Flakes for breakfast," someone might reply "If Grand Moff Tarkin had eaten a healthy breakfast that fateful morning, maybe he would have realized that the Rebel forces really did present a threat to the Death Star."
Then the poster would end with some random non-Star Wars comment that the next person must twist into something SW-related.
So to begin:
WHEN I WAS 12 YEARS OLD, ONE OF MY CHORES WAS TO MOW THE LAWN.
Yeah, I hate mowing the lawn. In fact, my allergies kick into overdrive when there's cut grass, so I can't do it at all. Last time, I wore a breathing mask while I did it, and ended up sounding like Darth Vader.
But that's okay, because I live in an apartment now, and there is no grass cutting required by my hand.

Speaking of hands, what is it about lightsaber amputation that is so appealing to George Lucas? I mean, seriously - Obi Wan cuts off the cantina guy's arm, Darth Vader cuts off Luke's hand, then Luke cuts off Darth Vader's hand (and Vader himself is an amputee from the lightsaber duel with Obi Wan back on the volcano planet.) This is what happens when a recurring plot element gets out of hand.
OK, maybe the comment is in poor taste, though. I have an uncle who is in the landscaping business. He had a very similar accident with a weed whacker.
A weed wacker is sorta like a lightsaber, don't you think? I mean, you wield both weapons by hand and use them to cut stuff off.
Of course, you don't have to be a Jedi to use a weed wacker. Of course, you don't really have to be a Jedi to wield a lightsaber either. Han Solo certainly isn't a Jedi, but he was able to use a lightsaber to disembowl a Tantaun.
I'm having Chicken nuggets for lunch today.
Man, I haven't had chicken nuggets in so long. I used to go get them at McDonald's all the time when I was a kid. I'd get the 20 piece box, and chow down. My parents were always worried about how thin I was, so they would gladly buy it for me every time.
Nowadays, however, I haven't done that in a long, long time. I think it got old for me, kinda like how Jedis finally got old for me. You enjoy them at first, but then there's just too damn many of them! I mean, at what point do you finally say: "Hey, I think people without lightsabers are cool, too." And that's my point. Eventually, in the middle of your McNugget inhalation, you'll crave a burger.
I'm actually thinking about eating a Runza today. I haven't had one of those in a long time, now.

A Runza? What's that? It sounds like some alien out of Star Wars. Like an Acklay. Or a Nexu. Or a Wampa. It sounds like some kind kind of big lumbering beast that could still up and kill you if you don't watch it. But that last parts seems an apt description for a lot of things in the Star Wars universe. If you don't watch it, one thing or another will kill you. It's a dangerous galaxy out there for just about everyone.
But in other news, I'm wondering what kind of mouthwash I should get tonight when I'm done with work. I'm getting the feeling I need some, I just don't want to get the mint kind that nobody seems to be able to stand.

Don't want to get Bantha breath!
Speaking of Banthas, you ever notice that even though Tatooine is supposed to be ultimate backwater non-planet of the galaxy, everybody seems to be constantly making reference to the local wildlife and other various vagaries of said sand planet? Even Darth Vader freaking comes from there now! Gah!
We really need to take our Christmas Tree down. :ermm: Either that or start redecorating it for future holidays.
oh, if I could own that old Christmas special. You know the one, Star Wars where they go to Chewie's home planet. Now THAT'S Xmas! I usually make sure to take down the lights and tree just after new year's, but then I have trouble disposing of the tree.
I need to go to work soon, but really, really do not want to.
Well, you know Luke didn't want to go with Obi Wan, but he did in the end. And that worked out pretty well. Unless you were the Emperor, in which case it worked out really stinky. Stinky like a Tauntaun.
I need to buy a new belt tonight. My current belt is getting pretty ratty looking.
Space Jawa

Is it going to be a standard run-of-the mill belt, or is it going to be a cool smuggerlish belt like Han Solo runs around wearing? I'd add Chewies bandaholster (or however you spell it), except I doubt that would do a good job of holding your pants up. It still looks cool, though. When you think about it, there are a lot of cool belts in Star Wars. Especially on the side of the neredowells.
So anyone had any (or any more) of that crazy weather that's been taking place lately?

Well it has been snowing all morning, reminding me of Hoth...though not sure why it is called Hoth when it is so cold there :-s otherwise it has been a bit warmer then normal
I am watching some George of the Jungle cartoon for some reason :-/

Jungles always remind me of Endor. Which annoys me, because Ewoks get on my nerves. I get the idea of having an ignored and low-tech race get the best of the Stormtroopers and approve of it, but did they have to use such an excessively cute and deliberately marketable design? And the ironic thing is, the Star Wars action figure market is still huge and only a tiny fraction of that is Ewoks. You don't even usually SEE an Ewok figure in the Star Wars section of a toy or comic store.
I'm reading a book about D-Day right now.

I never read any of the Star Wars books, so I don't know if there is an answer to this. The way the rebels threw everything they had at the almost built Death Star in Episode VI always reminds me of D-Day. After the victory, did they have a cool name for that day? I hope they didn't recycle D-Day, as in Deathstar-Day.
Speaking of days...what are you guys going to do for your sweeties on Valentine's Day?

I have a special surprise planned... a Leia slave girl outfit for her and a Boba Fett outfit for me, for some "Bounty hunter chasing slave" games...
Of course, it will need to wait until after the kid's birthday party. Anyone have suggestions for good party games?

Speaking of games, when I was a kid, I always wanted one of those holographic table chess-type games that C3PO and Chewbacca were playing on the Millenium Falcon. You'd think with all the great technology nowadays we could get one of those made...
Finally getting over my stupid cold. Had to call in to work yesterday.
awww, man, imagine if Han had "called in to work"! His wookie buddy would have busted his hind end!
I have a job interview today, wish me luck!

Speaking of luck, I always thought Luke had bad luck, He lost his best friend to a fat ugly Hutt, Which made his Girlfriend get caught by the Big Fat Hutt as a slave, Then he realizes his girlfriend is his sister. Then he's caught and almost burned alive by mini savages and then gets caught by his father and then given to the emperor and almost zapped to death and then his father dies. Oh and did I mention Jedi master Yoda died in front if him too? All in the same movie let alone the 5 others!
On that happy note, I am dissecting a crayfish for no apparent reason tomorrow.

Wow! Another flagrant self-promotion. You've got more smooth lines than Lando. Is Thawmus your Lobot?
By the way, has there ever been a Superman-man?

I know that :devious:, but I was looking for his NON-star wars statement the one thats not about star wars so someone could change it into a star wars discussion.

Superman: Man of Steel, is probably the closest you get. While were on superman, I think superman is like Chuck Norris and Chuck Norris should be (If not already) a Jedi, Because that would make him that much better. Of course superman should be a Jedi too, but that wouldn't really enhance his abilities, though he'd get to have a light-saber. Which I suppose he could have now if he wanted one.
And I wasn't able to do the dissection of... umm, that thing I was going to dissect, the thing that has nothing to do with Admiral Akbar

In the olden days, you had eat clabber for breakfast.

05/08/2010, 08:09
I am not sure what you mean by clabber. Must be some exotic breakfast food. Clabber does kinda sound like "clabba", which in turn rhymes with Jabba. And when I think of what Jabba the Hutt has for breakfast, it has to be one of those froggie thingies that swim around in the tank next to his throne. They probably serve Jabba some froggie waffles with froggie bacon, hash browns, and a biscuit with froggie gravy.
Hey, did you know that tomorrow is Mother's Day?

Wrong. Yesterday was Mother's Day. One of the biggest mama's boys I've ever seen was that Anakin kid. His mom even called him "Annie". No wonder he ended up so messed up in the head.
Getting this thread back on track, who here drinks bottled water?

I drink bottled water. You know, you don't have to keep bottled water in the fridge to keep it cold on Hoth. It wasn't a bad duty station for the Rebels stationed there. No one complained that their barracks/dorm room didn't have a fridge. It WAS a fridge.
Figures some new guy to the forum would post in a thread this old, huh?

Just like Lando showing up in the Rebellion, getting almost AUTOMATICALLY promoted to GENERAL and flying around in the oldest ship in the Rebellion.
How does being a card shark, having a star-fish robot that takes you on a bad Shatner-Trek/Outer Limits adventure and running a glorified Ugnaught petting zoo get you Officer Candidate Training School credits that let you skip SIX officer ranks?
I've unclogged several drains in my time. Does that mean I can get a job RUNNING the local water treatment plant?

No...but I think your drain experience would come in handy in the Death Star's sewage system below the prison levels.
It's a new year!

Great. Now GL will have to make a NEWER version of all the films to say, "Not quite as long ago, in a galaxy that has gotten a little closer than it was before."
Or maybe he'll just add that into the 3D versions that are due out next year.

Or he'll take away all the guns and other weapons and make them Walkie-Talkies!

And the wars will be over walkie-talkie service? "Come to the Empire. We cover more customers galaxy wide than any other provider, because we own more bandwidth and frequencies." But they only make walkie-talkies that are ergonomic for human hands because they are xenophobic, and Wookies hate that. Ewoks, too.
