**FDISK** said: > [@](#): > > w00t! 73H 574R W4RZ I5 73H K3W1357 M0VI3 3V3R!!!@#$%&^\*!1! Translation, please. My lame attempt: Something Star Wars is the something movie ever!!! I need lessons. How is an H a 3 and an E and H? Just when I think I’m a huge geek, someone like **FDISK** comes along and proves they’re a bigger geek. 😉 ---

73H = teh = the. From what I can surmise, this is the “accepted” misspelling. K3W1357 = kewlest = coolest. Follow the bouncing spelling grades: B… C… D… F. 😉 If you all feel “w00t” is a primal scream crammed into a single syllable, go for it. My tongue trips over the naughts. [Starship Troopers]Would you like to know more? [/Starship Troopers] Sure, we all do. [This guy](http://www.fireandlightning.org/jetmaster/leet.html) seems to agree with me on “leetspeak stems from a bunch of idiots,” but if you want a bit less of an opinion with your lesson, [this](http://www.ninjalane.com/leet.asp) has some handy words and phrases for travel abroad. However, it appears [Chaucer](http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=leet) got down with the haX0r phr34ks before all of j00. I’ll bet he was pWning those n00b pilgrims all the way to (4n73|28u|2`/. Excuse me, I have to go wash my keyboard. It feels dirty now. 😃 ---

The Star Wars is the kewlest (coolest) movie ever! Just guessing. ---

Went to see Star Wars, In my wookie suit. I know it’s one in a million, It’s got all real hair. I’m a fanatic, And I look like a bear! Luke woke up one morning, All his family gone, His papa never told him, About right and wrong. But Leia’s looking good, baby, I believe she’s very fine,(shame about it), Born to a Jedi With a robotic disguise. Luke woke up this morning The world turned upside down, Thing’s ain’t been the same Since Vader walked into town. But he’s one in a million He’s got that saber shine. Born to a Jedi, Who chose the Darker Path. When you woke up this morning everything you had was gone. By half past ten your head was going ding-dong. Ringing like a bell from your head down to your toes, like a voice telling you there was something you should know. Last night you were flying but today you’re so low - ain’t it times like these that make you wonder if you’ll ever know the meaning of things as they appear to the others; wives, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers. Don’t you wish you didn’t function, wish you didn’t think beyond the next big race and finding the little droid? Well you do so make up your mind to go on, ‘cos when you woke up this morning everything you had was gone. When you woke up this morning, When you woke up this morning, When you woke up this morning, Yoda said you’d be the Chosen One. When you woke up this morning, When you woke up this morning, When you woke up this morning, You are a hell of a son. Derleth cabbage-patches: I’m a geek! I know it! I’m a geek! I know it! 😃 ---
