I did have the thought on Shabbos “What’s a Jewish Star War fan t do.”

Oh, I misread that as “helmsman.” :eek:

Did you ever notice that almost every line from _Star Wars_ can be made better if you include the word “pants”?

I find your lack of pants disturbing.

You are unwise to lower your pants.

Your father wanted you to have pants when you were old enough

We have no choice, our pants can’t repel firepower of that magnitude.

Evacuate?! In our pants of triumph?

I’d just as soon pants a Wookiee!

Phew! And I thought pants smelled bad… on … the outside…!

You came in those pants? You’re braver than I thought.

Your pants, you will not need them

These aren’t the pants you’re looking for

They’re on Dantooine. Your pants are on Dantooine

Will someone get these big walking pants out of my way?

I’ll just put these pants on Chewbacca… _ROAAARRR!_…Uh, I mean _you_ put the pants on Chewbacca.

Help me, pants, you’re my only hope.

Happy!  
May the fourteenth.  
Be _with_ you.

I wish I knew about this pun when I was ten years old. I would have made it(ten days ago) the most important hollliday of the year. I’d dress like a Jedi, drink nerf juice and eat ewok burgers. Every day.

But then what would happen when I got around to reading the Hobbit? Hobbits can’t be Jedi. Puppets can, but there has never been a Hobbit Jedi. I hope I’m not up all night thinking about this.

> Bootiful day in the PNW and supposed to get into the upper 80s by Thursday. Too hot for this old Alaskan. But for now, it’s just gorgeous. Peonies are blooming and the roses are coming. Plus, I’m back to wearing shorts; always a pleasure to shed the winter clothing.

So _that’s_ where my post went. Could have sworn I was in the MMP thread. :smack:
