Perhaps we have some guests who can’t think of a good screen name. Perhaps you’re like me and just randomly think of cool names and feel inclined to share them. Justin Thyme Yashoor Yewbetcha ---

I don’t have any right now, but I was wondering about yours. I know there’s something of an Internet meme about it, but how did this meme get started? Was there some website or something? ---

Not really sure as of origin. I saw it plastered across the t-shirted boobs of a friend from work on the elevator, and liked it so much that I came home and switched my Doper name to it a year or so back. ---

I believe, though I am not sure, that the “Come to the Dark Side… we have cookies” thing came from a very briefly lived, but wildly popular LiveJournal based webcomic, whose name escapes me at the moment. It features some very small basic (and cute) drawings of the various characters from the Star Wars movies and it was quite funny. In one of the comics, if I recall, the Emperor sways Luke over with cookies. I am, of course, completely ready to be shown that I’m wrong. ---
