People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway.

Star Wars Pants

Just in case you think you've heard it all... We got our hands on a little known about revision of the original Star Wars movie script that substitutes the word "pants" into many of the lines...


DARTH VADER: I find your lack of pants disturbing.

DARTH VADER: General Veers, prepare your pants for a ground assault.

LUKE: I used to bullseye wamprats in my pants back home...

LUKE AND HAN: Lock the door. And hope they don't have pants.

DARTH VADER: You are unwise to lower your pants.

HAN: You look strong enough to pull the pants off a Gundark.

HAN: Great, Chewie, great. Always thinking with your pants.

LANDO: That blast came from the pants! That thing's operational!

LEIA: I recognized your foul pants when I was brought on board.

DARTH VADER: A tremor in the pants. The last time I felt it was in the presence of my old master.

HAN: Hey, don't worry. Chewie and me got into a lot of pants more heavily guarded than this.

HAN: Maybe you'd like it better back in your pants, your highness.

GREEDO: Jabba doesn't have time for smugglers who drop their pants at the first sign of an Imperial cruiser.

HAN: Short pants is better than no pants at all.

YODA: Pants not make one great.

LUKE: I sense the conflict within you, let go of your pants!

YODA: Pants you I can, yes, mmmmhhhhmmmm....

HAN: That's because droids don't pull people's arms out of their pants when they lose. Wookiees are known to do that.

HAN AND LEIA: I love pants. I know.

HAN: watch it kid or you're gonna find your pants floating home.

HAN: I thought pants smelled bad on the outside.

YODA: Your pants, you will not need them.

WUHER: Your pants. They'll have to wait outside, we don't want them here.

STORMTROOPER, LUKE AND OBI-WAN: How long have you had these pants? About three or four seasons. They're up for sale if you want them.

If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

The term "the whole 9 yards" came from W.W.II fighter pilots in the South Pacific. When arming their airplanes on the ground, the .50 caliber machine gun ammo belts measured exactly 27 feet, before being loaded into the fuselage. If the pilots fired all their ammo at a target, it got "the whole 9 yards."

Good morning all! I unexpectedly had to go help Peter move last night and ended up taking the train down at 4:30 PM. We moved until midnight. My fitbit says I walked 12.17 miles and climbed 70 floors. (He was moving from a 4th floor walk-up). I'm exhausted today.

Have a happy day all!

Feeling a bit better today. Hooray. I think I'll survive. My friend took me to our favorite Mexican place for lunch even though I didn't think I could really eat much. Had a chicken enchilada. Tasted good and I finished it for breakfast. Waiting for my queezy tummy to kick up. So far, it's kinda ok. Later will tell. Hate hate hate feeling ill. Not my thing.

Going to be a warm sunny day here. Things are so nice outside. I am toying with the idea of trying to MOW my huge property, but I don't think my 'body' will cooperate. Gotta get the waist high grass/weeds under control. Tomorrow it's supposed to rain again. I'll wait till this afternoon and see how dry it all gets and then decide if I want to chance making myself feel worse. Silly me, I just can't SIT when things need doing. joy

Soot has made it to Ne. Seagy got a good report from the vet. Thanks for the prayers.

Ana, you still in the city? How is Peter?

Re: Happy Hump Day - 02/16/17 04:30 AM

I got home at 8:30. According to my fitbit I covered 8 miles and 106 flights of stairs. I am absolutely exhausted.
My truck overheated when I got within a mile of my destination so I parked it, walked to a U-haul and rented a van. I picked up Peter and the poor kid laid on the bathroom floor while I finished clearing out the apartment. I am just ridiculously beat.

Glad that Seagy is good!

Nighty night all...
