Perhaps Roman letters are to them what Greek letters are to us--archaic symbols no longer in use except for droid clasification.

The name itself came from an abbreviation of "Reel 2, Dialogue 2" when Lucas was shooting "American Graffitti", or something like that. I'm not sure of the specifics, I'm just sure of the "Reel 2, Dialogue 2" bit.

I hate that too.

I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an Obi-Wan to go.

OB1 is the serial number of the plane Indiana Jones escapes on at the start of Raiders.

And Chaltab makes a good point - Lucas went back and altered ANH to include Aurebesh on the displays etc instead of English, yet the letters and numbers 'R2-D2' and 'C3P0' remain unchanged....

P.S Things I hate: My life. Aspects of my upbringing. Aspects of my personality. Having to rely on others. Stress. Anxiety. The way my mind works.

Thing I hate: The Theatre History test I have in half an hour that I barely felt like studying for because I'm burned out on too much schoolwork!

Hopefully me wishing you good luck will make up for the lack of study/practise.

Probably not though.

On a semi-related note, I'm re-recording a song in the studio tonight and I feel very unprepared, even though I have spent untold hours fretting and preparing. The first time I recorded this particular song I wasn't happy with the results and had a big falling out with my guitarist (hence this extra session) and now I am this close (holds fingers very close) to just scrapping the whole thing and saying 'f**k this song'. Creating is hard work.

I certainly agree with you there.

And I have a knack for somehow miraculously surviving tests with little to no preparation, but if that does happen to be the case this time, I'll credit it to you.

Well, I'm done with my test. I can't say it was a roaring success, but I've aced all the other ones, so maybe it's okay.

When do you find out? I want to know if my trans-atlantic good vibes worked.

Hmm, I'm not sure, but I'll try to keep you posted.

I just hope your "trans-atlantic good vibes" are better than the ones that gave Titanic such a fruitful and distinguished career as a luxury liner.

Well, it did go on to be probably the world's most famous and remembered boat.

P.S I know this isn't the rankings thread, but I just hit 2350. That puts me 320 ahead of you.

Well, on May 7th I'm emigrating to the USA, and I'm quitting my job at the end of April. Seeing as I do the VAST majority of my posting at work (I'm there right now), and I sincerely doubt I will ever have a job as laid back as my current one, plus the fact that I will be computerless for quite some time, I expect you will catch up to and pass me in the next few months, and then I will be the one playing catch-up.

Sounds good to me.

Where in the USA are you moving to?

Initially I will be in North Dakota staying with the in-laws 9basically just the logical place to arrive in the country and have a roof over our heads while we plan our next move). Eventually (hopefully about 2 months time) we will make our way to Los Angeles.

And everyone else here? Well I didn't mean all (or any) of us.

Mostly I meant the people who don't care about who is elected president, whether we go to war or not, etc. And the sheep part? Well see Fight Club if you haven't. The sheep Brad Pitt mentioned a few times? That's the kind of sheep I'm talking about.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot about the cowardly part. Well, I don't want to offend anyone here... But since this is an "opinion only" thread I'll say it--The president is a coward.
