Borders bookseller faces bankruptcy — Page 2

It was free until it was caught wearing blue jeans in a built up area, it was then sent to a Siberian Gulag and never seen again.

In Soviet Union, bread eats you.

How do you guys reply to multiple quotes at once? I'm only familiar with replying to one quote at a time and I delete text from the quote if I want to focus in on a particular thing they said. Is there a better way to do this?

Copy, paste, repeat.  It's not that tough.

To clarify a little, there's a quotation-mark-looking button on the toolbar in the reply text field that allows you to create a quote block at any time in any place.  And from there you can just paste text into it.  Viola.

 Fixed?

fixed.

Which reminds me...

Q: What's the difference between a viola and a trampoline?

A: You take your shoes off to jump on a trampoline.

I had a girlfriend who played first viola in the high school orchestra.

And I feel bad about Borders.  But not water-boarders.  That's not called for.

Hello everybody, I'm back online, did you miss me? I just got back from a long day at Borders. I was looking through the book "The Making of The Empire Strikes Back." Man what a great book. I was amazed at how great the photo quality of behind the scenes footage was. I didn't find "The making of Return of the Jedi" there. I was really surprised that Lucas didn't screw up the books forcing SE footage in them and try to make it out like they were like that all along.

I missed you I was aiming for your perineum (must get a telescopic scope next time).

No.

 

I swear I thought this as soon as I read the question.  Too slow on the draw...

I thought you liked me Bingowings? By the way, my office chair is facing the window so you would have a much better shot at my head.

I enjoy reading your posts.

Thanks for the tip but A) for a chair to be an office chair it has to be in an office and shooting through basement windows, while a challenge, really isn't my style B) the perineum shot is my signature move besides what would be the point of shooting you through the head?

If you really want to help, next time you are reading without buying in Borders, drop your trousers, do a handstand near a window and wave with your feet.

Bingowings,

You scare me.

But it looks like Adywan is paying a little less than what the states pay. Is this cable, DSL, or wifi Adywan?

That is relative, though. Like I said, when I lived in Europe (not the UK) I paid considerably more than I have ever paid for it in the States. And Adywan is paying a little more than the most I have ever paid in the States, and I have this really bad habit of moving around a lot so that is a fairly wide sample range, I have paid for internet in five different states over the last seven years.

Xhonzi, I am pretty lame when it comes to IT stuff, where you being serious? Is there that much of a difference?

You were gone? I am not even gone and I have been away waaaaaay longer than you. I think the same is true for most regular posters around here. Fink and Bingo are probably the only ones in the Off-Topic who are posting more frequently than you. No dig intended here... just saying.

Making of RotJ doesn't exist yet (they're 30th anniversary books) and Lucas did screw up the books by forcing SE images into them (though that is going to be fixed in future printings).

Another series of small errors occurred when the publisher replaced my screen grabs from the original ESB version on DVD with screen grabs from the Special Edition DVD; Del Rey regrets the error, too.

How do things like this always continue to happen? Are people really that stupid? Or is there some kind of a conspiracy? I imagine George Lucas and his followers and an Illuminati type organization that will kill you if you so much as talk about them, pulling strings from behind the scenes an-- ACK! Guys, I think they foun

There is a book on the making of ROTJ already out: http://www.amazon.com/Making-Star-Wars-Return-Jedi/dp/034531235X

There is a lot of making of Star Wars (ANH) books. http://www.amazon.com/Making-Star-Wars-Definitive-Original/dp/0345494768

Is this the 30th anniversary edition?

What you're looking for is the J.W. Rinzler books, so yeah, the Star Wars one you linked to is the 30th Anniversary conterpart to the Empire book you mentioned.

I would assume a Rinzler-written ROTJ book will be out in 2013.

I've seen books that are about the cosmos and mythology that mention Star Wars in them, but are not particularly about star wars. I used to have one of those books in my basement. but after everything has moved around so many times I don't know where it went. I've seen that PBS documentary about that one dude who helped George Lucas write Star Wars, I can't think of his name at the moment (what was his name) who big into mythology. Hopefully you guys can help me out?

Yeah I believe that is the guy's name. Thanks

Joseph Campbell co-wrote Star Wars? I didn't know that. ;)
