Star Wars Christmas December 26, 2004

Posted by Owen in : Weird , add a comment

If you’re not tired of hearing Christmas music in the grocery store, listen to the horrific Star Wars Christmas Album. (Really! You can’t make this stuff up.)

It contains gems like “What Can You Get A Wookiee For Christmas (When He Already Owns A Comb?)” “Let me see. We have a scarf for Skywalker, right?” “Yes.” “And perfume for the Princess?” “Yes.” “What about Han Solo?” “Couldn’t we get him ear muffs?” “That leaves one big problem.” “THE WOOKIEE!” “Couldn’t we get him a comb?” “We gave him a comb last year!” and “R2-D2 We Wish You A Merry Christmas”.

Oh man, what were they thinking?

Ironic Blog Spam December 21, 2004

Here’s some Ironic blog comment spam that I just found on my blog:

Name: online poker | Email: pkehvzra@a562d7bef37555bf78b572857b385eb18.com | URI: http://www.************.com | IP: 216.176.52.40

Having been teaching ethics for a very long time…I’m struck by how little reference is ever made to the terrible things that have happened in the 20th Century. Ethics ought to be rooted in some idea of the way in which human nature can go wrong and produce these disasters. by online poker

Ethics. Yeah right.

I just thought I’d share that yesterday I got to meet Susanna Hoffs, the lead singer of the Bangles (and wife of director Jay Roach). When I was younger I loved their music, so it was very cool to meet her. Of course, I didn’t know it until I left, but it’s still cool. :)

Here’s a great blog. I knew those things you get in Chinese that say “peace” or “love” or other such phrases never really mean it. :) It’s almost as bad as that Engrish stuff. This one is the best.

“And you crapped out on the conclusion, I guess you are the Neil Stephenson of blogging. :)” (Seen at the end of a long, but interesting, article.)
