Which sounds like an oxymoron... Why do they, Joan, or were you too busy toning him out?

LoL...no, I was listening carefully...but didn't entirely understand it. He said that the waves of light spiral, so that the whole thing is always trying to spin out of your hands. You constantly have to resist the motion...so, for all intents and purposes, the light does have weight. Isn't that COOL?!? I just couldn't believe there was an actual explanation...

I was playing SW BF2 with Maeg the other day and I was telling her all the clone commander's names and which scenes they are in. LOL!
I was also watching EP III and in scene 31 I was like "NOOO! SERGEANT FOX GOT KILLED BY A LITTLE KID! >.<!!"

The science of a saber is wicked cool. I have a .... Somewhat scientific theory on how they work.
Back to the thread topic.
*You name your four inseperable orange tetra fish Wedge, Wes, Hobbie and Tycho - and you can tell them all apart!
*Plotholes immediately become fanfics.
*YOu know the make, model, weapons and passengers of every ship in the Battle of Endor.
*YOu compare everything to SW.
*YOu have discussions over who Luke should have married.
*YOu explain why Luke is stupid... (see Luke Skywalker - Married? thread under random board...)

*YOu have discussions over who Luke should have married. Howabout you nearly winning said discussion with the candidate yourself! Honestly, I wasn't sure if I should be glad about that or mourn the sad passing of my 'life'. Snrk.

...When you read these sorts of conversations and think, "yeah, the lightsaber has a different balance than blades made of material because of the gyroscopic field it emits as a result of its methods of focusing and concentrating the light into a blade..."
And of course, there's always revelling in the fact that there are really a lot of fellow geeks out there who are every bit as hopeless as yourself (if not more, in some cases).

Yup. Comforting thought, isn't it?

Oh, beyond all doubt. They actually have figured out a way to make a lightsaber out of plasma, though it's quite ungainly and sometimes lets a little gout of plasma out of the field now and then. Only a little way up from plasmasaber to lightsaber! Hah! I wish... ...But you guys probably already knew all that.

....when you are listening to the star wars soundtrack, and you know EXACTLY when all the sound effects and dialogue occur in that song from the movie.
....you are listening to your SW soundtrack in the car with your family and explain which scene it is from and make the sound effects.

They actually have figured out a way to make a lightsaber out of plasma, though it's quite ungainly and sometimes lets a little gout of plasma out of the field now and then. I didn't know that! Awesome! Little gouts of plasma actually sounds rather fun... Captain Qwilleran Gargle Fuyuki-sama the second. (bubble eye goldfish). ^_^ That's cool. -you write fanfic and actually consider what you would do with the marketing if Lucas offered you something for them...

I was designing the cover for my yet unfinished fantasy novel when I was trying to sleep the other day. It'd be cool...

AAH!! IT'S A SNAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!!
...I LIKE snakes. But the only ones I ever see around here are garter snakes. I want one like the one in Yoda's hut. Pythons and poisonous snakes aren't allowed in town as pets of residents, though.
...When you coerce a friend into watching ESB, and then she wants to see ANH too to piece things together, and then you end up watching ROTJ, and then she goes and sees the prequel movies on her own time, then rents the OT and brings it home and consequently gets all four of her brothers hooked as well...woo! Spread the love!

lol, Pythagoris and Captain Keyes. Those are pretty sweet names. I just got some fish but can't tell them all apart. That's how I got addicted, Jandalf...i saw II and my friend made me watch all the trilogy, out of order I think. I've only recreated addictions, never founded one. I don't think. There was this random woman at Lake Champion...I have to work on real evangelism.
