LOL so thats what happened to Bond

Yes, dear sweet Bond. When the board was dying you could count on him to append a "me too" one liner. I didn't mind them at all, because they were the only response I saw getting to my posts. But others did, and blamed the lack of discourse on regulars disillusioned by Bond's one liners. Someone created a one-time-only account and flamed poor Bond. He was never seen again. Chef Elf reunified the forums, and certain regulars vanished after that. To this day only two people know who was behind that one-time-only account. As for Bond, he is watching. I've seen him logged in, but he talks to no one. He waits. He chooses his time. He knows something we don't.

Oh hey yeah. How could I forget. Remember that old BBC Sci Fi Show "Blake's 7"; they're resuming that. Well, not the Beeb but Sky. It was made 1978ish. Unlike escapists Star Wars or "gosh - everyone is so nice" Star Trek, this was a nice and gritty. I liked it, and it's back. The old series is available so check it out. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blake's_7

A true Jedi would tell the Sith that he didn't wish to fight then proceed to slash or beat the Sith to death.
"I felt insulted until I realized that the people trying to mock me were the same intellectual titans who claimed that people would be thrown out of skyscrapers and feudalism would be re-institutionalized if service cartels don't keep getting political favors and regulations are cut down to only a few thousand pages worth, that being able to take a walk in the park is worth driving your nation's economy into the ground, that sexual orientation is a choice that can be changed at a whim, that problems caused by having institutions can be solved by introducing more institutions or strengthening the existing ones that are causing the problems, and many more profound pearls of wisdom. I no longer feel insulted because I now feel grateful for being alive and witnessing such deep conclusions from my fellows."
-Jimmy McTavern, 1938.

JUSTICE IS DONE - BUT JUSTICE FOR WHOM?

They actually pressed charges. Meow. Meow. Hiss Hiss.

A man who dressed up as Darth Vader, wearing a black garbage bag for a cape, and assaulted the founders of Britain's first Jedi church has been given a suspended sentence.

Hughes claimed he couldn't remember the incident, having drunk the best part of a 10 litre box of wine beforehand. Unfortunately for Hughes, the incident was recorded on a video camera that the cousins had set up to film themselves in a light saber battle.

"Darth Vader! Jedis!" Hughes shouted as he approached.

Judging by the vomitarama 'Clone Toys' cartoons coming out, if Star Wars had ended with the black garbage bag Darth Vader incident, it could have ended on a high.

Darth Vader' spared jail in Jedi church attacks

HOLYHEAD, Wales - A man who dressed up as Darth Vader, wearing a garbage bag for a cape, and assaulted the founders of a group calling itself the Jedi church was given a suspended sentence Tuesday.

Arwel Wynne Hughes, 27, attacked Jedi church founder Barney Jones — aka Master Jonba Hehol — with a metal crutch, hitting him on the head, prosecutors told Holyhead Magistrates' Court.

He also whacked Jones' 18-year-old cousin, Michael Jones — known as Master Mormi Hehol — bruising his thigh in the March 25 incident, prosecutors said.

The two cousins and Barney Jones' brother, Daniel, set up the Church of Jediism, Anglesey order, last year. Jedi is the faith followed by some of the central characters in the "Star Wars" films.

The group, which claims about 30 members, says on its Web site that it uses "insight and knowledge" from the films as "a guide to living a better and more worthwhile life."

"We all love the films and what they stand for. Obviously some people are going to laugh about it," the Wales on Sunday newspaper quoted Barney Jones as saying last month. "But a lot of people do take it seriously."

Unfortunately for Hughes, his March attack was recorded on a video camera that the cousins had set up to film themselves in a light saber battle.

"Darth Vader! Jedis!" Hughes shouted as he approached.

Hughes claimed he couldn't remember the incident, having drunk the better part of a 2 1/2-gallon (10-liter) box of wine beforehand.

"He knows his behavior was wrong and didn't want it to happen but he has no recollection of it," said Hughes' lawyer, Frances Jones.

District Judge Andrew Shaw sentenced Hughes to two months in jail but suspended the sentence for one year. He also ordered Hughes to pay $195 to each of his victims and $117 in court costs.

In the 2001 United Kingdom census, 390,000 — 0.7 percent of the population — listed Jedi as their religion.
