Has anyone here besides me ever seen the unholy mess that is the Star Wars Holiday Special? For those of you who are not aware, in 1978, to capitalize on the new Star Wars phenomenon, CBS produced a 2 hour long special. The plot revolved around Chewbacca's family and their preparations for "Life Day," a kind of intergalactic version of Christmas. The big suspense in the film was whether Han and Chewbacca would be able to get back to the home planet without getting killed by Darth Vader in time for Life Day. Also, there is an odd scene when stormtroopers enter Chewbacca's household and nearly deprive his son, Lumpy, of his Life Day present.
The weird thing was that Mark Hamil, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, etc all make cameo appearances, but most of the movie isn't really about them or the rebel struggle against the empire at all. Its mostly a cross between vaudville shtick and sitcom involving Chewbacca's wookie family, who don't speak English and just growl at each other. There are a couple of musical numbers too. The three highlights of the movie I remember most clearly are:
1. Chewbacca's wife watching a Julia Child type program starring Harvey Korman in drag teaching viewers how to cook Bantha meat.
2. Chewbacca's father, Lumpy, watching intergalactic soft porn.
3. Princess Leia singing a Life Day carol (off key) to the tune of John Williams's Star Wars theme music. |

Fox Paws?
What were they thinking when they lit the flame that started the 2003 Aspen Forest Fire? BTW--this rescued female fox shown here with bandaged paws, survived and was admitted to a zoo. |

Looks like he's also a candidate for cameltoe.org.
Evidently, he's already listed Pelvis. |

I'd chalk it up to NASCAR, Red Bull, and Mixed martial arts - that and all your GOP neighbors (and people of their ilk) under the Orange Curtain. |

Stalean opened the door and I stepped through it, or in to it, as the case may be.

I'm an 'ilk?' Hey, watch it! I'm a conservative and a red-stater. Bush, however (like any politician) is fair game. Just send them huntin' with Cheney.  |

If I ever win this contest again I am quite likely to impose a theme of 'surrealism' or 'Dali'. Think hard before giving me that sort of droopy clock.
You don't want a droopy cock? Why not?
Isn't that an alternative name for a male Rhode Island Red? Apparently ideal for the small flock owner, but I blame the stress myself. |

I once owned a small flock of small cocks; they flew up into the trees at night. |

dressed up in Lycra suits; and
walked like stereotypical robots.
It was worse than that. Through the dance style of robotics, they were representing the emotion of 'the slight feeling of bewilderment when a small puppy won�t come to you when called'.  |
