Paint on? I like the way your mind works. Can I subscribe to your newsletterpaint on the Slave Leia Costume.I hate that damn costume.
?There's always ways of getting him back, though; have him emulate Han from the same scene
Negative, but this will be looked into.
Be sure to leave your sanity at the door.
Newsletters are for wimps who can't handle anything longer than bullet notes. I'm working on the manuscript now. *cracks knuckles* Suck it, bitches.Paint on? I like the way your mind works. Can I subscribe to your newsletter
Does that work like N-word privileges?
I've said that a few times, and have not been called on it... keep it plural though.Does that work like N-word privileges?
yeah, but you're a dog. That's the same race, after all
O__oDoes that work like N-word privileges?
No.
I'm not offended by the word 'bitch' in the least. If you're calling me out when I'm being one, then I'll usually reply with, "My hair is brown. The sky is blue. JK Rowling has a good bit of money. What? I thought we were stating the obvious." If you call me a bitch and I'm not being one...well, then you might as well call me a kangaroo for all the good it'll do. 'Bitch' doesn't hurt my feelings. Insulting my intelligence, however, is grounds for getting cut. Them's fightin' words.
Edit: This is coming from someone who has an African American goddaughter and has seen racial/religious prejudice first hand. I have sensitivities to the N-word among other words.
I was joking and referring to another thread (I'm sure it's still somewhere in the Hall of Shame, but don't go looking, it's not particularly interesting, there's better reads in there) where I got called on calling someone else a bitch, and to a thread around here quite recently where the "N-word privileges" were being discussed. I was aware that you weren't calling anyone a bitch, and it's good to know you wouldn't be offended if I called you what you were being. Which, for the moment, you aren't, for the record.
You ewe! ...that doesn't work quite as well as an insult

Okay, I see. I'm still learning all of the inside jokes. As I mentioned before, I really despise the N-word. Add the F-word and any other slur of that sort of nature to the list, too.
You are forgiven! For now....

Fiddlesticks
Yeah the drive-in where I watched it closed a long, long time ago.[DOUBLEPOST=1344447462][/DOUBLEPOST]The theater I saw A New Hope in is long gone (just Star Wars here, too).
OMG you're the only other person I know who uses that term!
HOW U KNOW THAT TERM?!
I was playing Wii one day when Mario fell in the lava for the ten billionth time when I yelled out "Fuuuuuudgeknuckles!" It's been my default faux swear ever since and works wonders when I'm around my goddaughter.It just came out one day when I was in the car with my son who was a toddler at the time. I usually said "fudge" as my faux swear word, but this day I was really, really aggravated with a person on the I-5 in San Diego and I blurted out "ARGH! FUDGEKNUCKLES!!!" instead of what I wanted to call the driver. It made me laugh at myself so it stuck.HOW U KNOW THAT TERM?!
Try as he might to destroy all evidence of its existence, Lucas just can't seem to keep it off youtube.
I made it almost ten minutes in once.

I found the whole thing on google videos. AWWWW YEAH! Let the camp-tastic 70's special begin!

Stir, whip, stir, whip, whip whip, stir...
ALSO sounds like Nick's Prom night.
Major spoilers, 'kay?
12:47 in the special and Luke just showed up with R2. Chewie's family has been...interesting. Chewie's dad has no teeth and his kid looks like he's going to rip off my face as I'm sleeping. His wife is basically Chewie sans belt.
Update: 18 minutes in. Luke makes an appearance. Don't worry, R2. Nobody's perfect.
20 mins in...WE HAVE VADER!
30 mins in...did grandpa Wookie just put on a sex helmet and is getting off in the middle of the living room on a purple-haired woman's voice? He is watching kaleidoscopic porn! Did I just go behind the green door?!
40 mins in...PRINCESS LEIA! STORM TROOPERS! CHEWIE NEEDS EXERCISE!
50 mins in...Jefferson Starship is singing on some strange portable TV for the imperial guards. I now know what it's like to trip balls.
60 mins in...Saturday morning Star Wars cartoon featuring Boba Fett!
1 hr 10 mins...Leave it to a droid to get down to the bottom of things! Now, let's get off of this galactic raindrop.
Awwwwwwww! The mean guards tried to rip apart the kid's snuffleupagus!
1 hr 20 mins...I don't...I just don't understand anymore. Satan is teaching me how to hook up transmitters. Is this real life? What is going on?! Bea Arthur?! I NEED AN ADULT!!
1 hr 30 mins...This show has touched me in a bad, bad place. Bea Arthur is singing and the Empire has closed down the bar in Tatooine. This is goodnight friends but not goodbye friends. There's a giant rat. I feel dirty for having hung on this long. I'm so close to being done. Wtf, are they doing a combination Hora and Bunny Hop out the door?
1 hr 40 mins...Chewie just showed up at home to find a Storm Trooper chasing his kid with a gun. GET 'EM, CHEW CHEW!! Oh, you're just going to step aside and let the Trooper point a gun at you? Whatever- GET 'EM, HAN HAN!
1 hr 50 mins...The wookies are wearing red robes and carrying candles for some reason...R2D2 and C3PO just showed up...I...I...I...Leia?! Luke?! HAN?!! There's a tree of life...omfg Leia is singing. Carrie Fisher is singing about Live Day.
1 hr 56 mins...There's some sort of weird montage going on from the movies and from the show. There's vague Star Wars music in the background. My brain hurts. I feel nauseous. I don't want to live on this planet anymore. I don't. Someone hold me. Dill is in desperate need of huggles.
Ending: The Wookie family is sitting around the table for some sort of blessing/celebratory meal. Heads are bowed...and we're done.
1 hr 58 mins...I need something to help clear my head of this abomination. DA DA CIRCUS DA DA AFRO, CIRCUS AFRO, CIRCUS AFRO, POLKA DOT, POLKA DOT AFRO!!

I recommend watching Nostalgia Critic's review of the Holiday Special... including some of the subtitles he gives for what the Wookiees are saying XD
This thing is like a train wreck... I can't look away.
What the hell is up with Grandpa Wookie and the weird holo-program thingy? lol!!!
I know!! He was watching kaleidoscopic porn!

Y'know, I've never actually seen the Holiday Special myself. Spoilers! OMG!
That aside....Are you completely serious? Because, man, I've got to get my girlfriend to watch the first 6 movies so I can see this with her while high
And now you can understand why the Punk Rock Movement was so angry at the time.
I swear on my love of all things mint chocolate that I was making NONE of it up. I didn't even mention all of the 'wtf?' moments. This damn special made no sense. NONE AT ALL.Y'know, I've never actually seen the Holiday Special myself. Spoilers! OMG!

I seriously never made it past the opening with Chewie's family. I've tried to watch it a few times, I just couldn't do it.
I concur with this conclusion. I watched it on youtube today as well... and... WTF???!!! It was so incredibly bizarre.
