Tal, maybe time for a new feuture on this boards: The Starwars Filter

 

SlimShogun: It might have been the 7th where Findol The Swift was posting from...

 

I have discovered the word 'teehehe' is actually a very funny word

 

I dont see anyone laughing?
Then again this is the Post-For-Random-Babbling-Possible-With-Some-Sense-#3...so i suppose that is allowed.

 

Does anyone know anything about bread?

I have a bead project thats in for tuesday

I do not want a default slip! (three = detention)

I've got about half of what I need

Any help?

 

All right Big B, I am happy that you started with only 30 days to go. At least the SW movie will be out soon

Findol my boy brother. No. You posted on May 8th 2002 at 3:19. And where you come from it is May 8th. To day May 8th. Got that? I hope so.

 

ARGH!!!! I went to school at 8:10am this morning for a long jump practice and NO teacher showed up!!! They had a schedule and it said, "Long Jump - Morning - Wednesday". So I was waiting for a teacher for long jump for 50 minutes in the morning!!! And then sign up sheets for long jump showed up at lunch. I'm so pissed!!!

 

But i posted yesterday (in the USofA) at around 8:30, May the seventh. Belive me! now there's only 8 more days, (or 7, i'm not sure we most of you people's live)

 

Don't worry, Findol, everyone lives in different time zones.

 

In the USofA at the moment (In Indiana) it's 7:18 P.M. on May 8. not may 9, oh well.

 

Sorry to disappoint you again, but isn't AotC released on may 16th in the US (where I live)? That would be nine days after May 7th and eight days after May 8th.

 

Your right, I just didn't do my math right.the last few days have not been my days!)

DAY 7
******

Theed Palace, Naboo

The large, grand cruiser of the Supreme Chancellor lands in the courtyard of the main hanger. Captain Panaka and twenty troops guard Nute Gunray and Rune Haako. Obi-Wan, Queen Amidala, and her handmaidens stand before the Neimodians.

"Now, Viceroy, you are going to have to go back to the Senate and explain all this." - Queen Amidala

"I think you can kiss your Trade franchise goodbye." - Captain Panaka

The main ramp of the cruiser is lowered and Grand Chancellor Palpatine and several Republic guards descend the walkway, followed by Yoda and several other Jedi Masters.

"Congratulations on your election, Chancellor. It is so good to see you again." - Queen Amidala

"It's good to be home. Your boldness has saved our people, Your Majesty. It is you who should be congratulated. Together we shall bring peace and prosperity to the Republic." - Chancellor Palpatine

(walks over to Obi-Wan and Anakin)

"Obi-Wan Kenobi, we are indebted to your bravery. And you young Skywalker, we will watch your career in great interest." - Chancellor Palpatine


TURRET ROOM - NABOO PALACE - LATE DAY

The sun streams into the multi-windowed room at a low angle. It is not quite sunset. Yoda paces before Obi-Wan, who is kneeling in the center of the room.

"Confer on you, the level of Jedi Knight the Coucil does. But agree on you taking this boy as your Padawan learner, I do not." - Yoda

"Qui-Gon believed in him. Why can't you?" - Obi-Wan

"The Chosen One the boy may be; nevertheless, grave danger I fear in his training." - Yoda

"Master Yoda, I gave Qui-Gon my word. I will train Anakin. Without the approval of the Council if I must." - Obi-Wan

"Qui-Gon's defiance I sense in you. Need that, you do not. Agree, the council does. Your apprentice, young Skywalker will be." - Yoda

NEWSFLASH
**********

Attack of the Clones has been rated PG in the UK. All other Star Wars movies were given a U rating in the UK. Also, Australia rates it as PG (with Medium Level Violence and Adult Themes) while TPM was only given PG (Low Level Violence.) Take that as you will.

George Lucas called up a couple of fans that have been waiting in line since Jan 1. That was cool.

I saw an interview with Sam Jackson done by Connie Chung. All I have to say is she is a huge twit. Throughout the interview some of the looks Sam gave her were hilarious. I could tell he wanted to bust his lightsaber out on her . Speaking of Sam, check out these deep pics of Mace Windu (no spoilers):

Don't think too hard there Sam PS Sam manages to keep his hands away from his chin when he fights, I promise.

C-ya tomorrow

Bix, Blind Guardian is on the 18th...Saturday...8:30...Just over a week to go...argh *wishes for patience*

Yerril, I AM a traitorous wench. Well spotted. I'm not averse to being worshipped, of course, but the invention of a love affair shows altogether too much imagination for comfort. Didn't the nice doctor at your psychiatric ward tell you that it isn't polite to lie?

BTW, nice new title Tal.... (Guess I'M not that observant.)

 

After five minutes with me, the nice doctor was the one who needed psychiatric attention.



Mindless worship works for me!

EDIT: Muppet, can't even spellinate "psychiatric"

The boards are back up yay

More tech support logs-

One night working at technical support, this old lady called and told me that she received our disk and said that she's afraid of it.

Tech Support: "Well ma'am, there is nothing to be afraid of. It's for your computer."
Customer: "Well, I don't have a computer. The directions say 'install and run'. I'm too old to run."
Tech Support: "Ma'am, could you please hold?"
I need a brief pause to scream with laughter.
Tech Support: "Ma'am, I can assure you that you are ok."
Customer: "Ok. Should I call the police?"
Tech Support: "No, ma'am, just throw it away."
Customer: "Well, there is a silver thing that slides across, and it clicks. What is that?"
Tech Support: "It is safe to throw it away. It's for a computer, ok?"
Customer: "But is this a bomb?"
Tech Support: "No, ma'am, just throw it away."
Customer: "Now?"
Tech Support: "Yes, if you like."
Customer: "Son, you saved my life! Thank you, and have a nice day."

Customer: "I just got your software in the mail, and what I wanted to know was...will I be charged if I just look at the software? I mean, I don't even have a modem yet."


Customer: "I got one o' these here disks of yours. Is this one a those new home security systems, that all I have to do is put it here in my winda, and it'll scare away burgulars?"
Tech Support: "No, sir, this is for a computer. Do you own a computer?"
Customer: "Well, hell, what do I need with a computer? I just got me one o' them 45-inch big screen TV's. I don't need no computer!"


Customer: "You sent me this diskette. Are you gonna send me a computer so I can run this?"
Tech Support: "Excuse me?"


The revenge of the tech support

I had just completed a test install of a LAN-based remote control tool, when a VERY dependant secretary called my office. She calls me way too often to have me show her how to do very basic things. Her boss, "Don," insisted that "Tess" did not need special training, only my occasional assistance. That day, Tess was frustrated while trying to learn how to use the thesaurus feature in Word 97. I recommended that she use the Help Assistant to learn. She was unaware of how the assistant worked; an idea came to mind.


Me: "Go to 'Help' and choose 'Microsoft Word Help'."
Her: "Ok. A little paper clip came up. Ha ha!"
Me: "Now, see the text box? Keep your eye on it, and tell me what it says."
Her: "'Hi...Tess.... So you want...to learn about...the thesaurus...today?'"
Me: "Now say 'Yes.' Don't type it."
Her: "'Yes.'"
Me: "Now what does it say?"
Her: "First...I must suggest you...read 'Word 97...for Dummies.'"
Me: "Ask where it is."
Her: "Where is it?" (pause) "It says it is in my cabinet above my desk."
Me: "Oh, good. Always trust the Help Assistant. You will be proficient very soon. Now the assistant knows you are going to get smarter, so it will now want you to type your questions in that box."
Her: "Hey Don, I can talk to my computer!"
Me: "Gotta go!" (click)
