It was truly a sarcastic guess. I assumed since TVF was making so sure that we knew it wasn't his deliberate misspelling that it must be the actual person. Apparently I ruined some big joke he was setting up.
But it wasn't me.
I never saw episode II in theaters. I am now very proud of this fact.
Yes. I do still have them, I am afraid. I wish I didn't, because it means I have boxes of stuff to dig through and figure out a way to get rid of. At this point in life, the only things I really care about keeping are my old 70's and 80's vintage figures, my ships are in too rough of shape to even matter, and the little bit of 90's stuff I do own I could care less about.

By testicular regions are not being tugged upon by Johann Sebastian Bach!
There are so many things wrong with this sentence I don't even know where to begin.
Haha! That came out really funny. I meant to say that MY testicular regions are NOW being tugged upon by Bach. That is what happens when you type too fast while drinking.
Poor Fink, some stupid suggestion by bkev, and me for some reason agreeing that it would be cool, and now look what has become of his thread...
LOL, seven incher! That is one small sandwich!
I know. I thought of bumping it myself, but figured it would manage to surface sooner or later without my help. Finally did.
This thread was even linked to by Total Biscuit's orcs as evidence that we were more pathetic than them (if I recall correctly), so Fink must have seem it when he read that thread.

this one will definitely be a hard sell, except to Gaff.
What is with all the sexual innuendo tonight. First Warb in the politics thread and now this!!!
Maybe... I guess that makes sense... maybe I am you during full moons too... creepy...
bkev said:
Hey, those things were a long time ago. Having your own thread was soooo last decade.

doubleofive already won the door prize for guessing C3PX.
Wait, but he guessed incorrectly. I don't remember being DGT!
Thanks, Gaff. That means a lot coming from you.
By testicular regions are not being tugged upon by Johann Sebastian Bach! YEAH!!!
No wonder there are a million lurkers who never register!!! We are weird people!!!
I kind of skipped over this entire conversation while it was taking place, never really had any interest in it, other than to give it a quick glace. Guess I just wasn't in the mood to discuss it at the time. However, one post made by TheBoost caught my attention back then, and I had been meaning to reply to it.

I can treat a person of a different faith with respect, kindness, and love all while believing his faith is completely false. Just because I don't agree with what he believes doesn't mean I hate him or treat him poorly (quite the opposite!), or even talk poorly about his religion to him or behind his back. I can show both him and his religion "respect" without ever agreeing with it.
So, if I read you correctly, respecting someone else's differing faith means to ignore someone else's differing faith?
One of my coworker beleives she's going to magically vanish when God's son floats down from the sky, another believes not only will no one vanish, but that there is no god. A third believes there is no god by Allah and Muhammed is his prophet.
At least two of these people have to be wrong, possibly insane.
Is the only path to respect and coexistance to ignore the giant Godlike elephant in the room?
I think "wrong, possibly insane" is a bit strong. I imagine they are all very wrong, but I just don't see why that matters one bit. I have a few good friends who are practicing Muslims, we've discussed religion with each other before, and have all come to the conclusion that we obviously disagree on that subject and that there is no where else to go with further discussion on that topic. So what do we do? Do we hate each other? Do we consider each other insane? Do we secretly resent each others beliefs? No, we get on just fine and have plenty of stimulating conversation not related to religion. We also disagree politically in HUGE ways, but yet we still manage to have those kinds of discussions without stepping on each others toes too badly. Before I moved away, we'd meet up and go for coffee together frequently, which seems to indicate to me that they enjoyed my company and much as I enjoyed theirs, regardless of our differing belief systems.
In doing this, I don't think any "giant Godlike elephant" was lingering in the room and being ignored. Why should religious beliefs be elevated to such a point that they dictate who we can comfortably hang out with?
My family is pretty big into their religion, and take it quite seriously. I do not believe the same as they do, and that obviously perturbs them to a degree, but I still manage to have a good relationship with them.
I don't think that elephant is such a big deal as some people try to make it out to be, and if it is a problem for some people, then I am afraid the issue lies with them. They need a severe attitude adjustment. Life simply doesn't work that way. Not everyone is going to agree with then about everything all the time, they just need to get over it.
So what if someone believes they reach salvation through leprahauns and dedicate their life to the persuit of rainbows. That is obviously an extreme hyperbolic scenario, and you probably would have reason to believe that person might be made. But someone following some acient tradition isn't all that uncommon, and so does not fit in the range of insanity. If someone wants to believe these ancient traditions, why fret about it? What does it do to us? Why should it be precieved as something as unsightly and hazardous as a giant elephant filling up space in the room? I just have a hard time finding it something to get hung up on.
Hahaha! I am the Ewok Devil! I LIVE IN HELL!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Huh? That doesn't sound like such a bad idea. Maybe just for one or two days, it could be interesting.
Damn, no one coming over for my party, then?
Wooohooo!!! Quadruple post!!! Wonder if that has ever been done in OT.com history before?
Wooohoooo!!! 3PX just remembered he has some Oktoberfest left in the fridge from the weekend. I think it is time to start the weekend up again!!! Woooooo!!! Party at my place tonight!!! I am off to get my Vampire Weekend record spinning.
You can't even go out for a beer with friends anymore with out these dumb phones getting in the way. I hate them.
It is only a matter of time Olie, you're a sock too. It will only be a matter of time before they throw you in the camps with the rest of them. This world just isn't ready to accept that socks are people too and deserve rights just like everybody else. I have a dream, a dream that for our children things will be different, that socks and regular members alike will be able to carry on off-topic discussions in harmony.

Sheesh. I was just talking about a picnic on the blacktop. And you're invited! Stop being so jealous. It's a turnoff.
Sorry Gaff, it is just that all the guys are nuts about you, you could have any of them you want, sometime I just worry that I might be inadequate.
Making an I am leaving thread so you can come back as Fink2.0?
Wait a minute? I just left Xhonzi for you, and you are already offering to put out for him for two mere Cuban guys, when I have been longing to get a piece of Tape for years! Wow, I don't think I can cope with this! Why oh why did I leave my lovely Xhonzi! Oh why!
doubleofive said:
So it was C3PX then.
Wait, I thought Fink said it was not me? I am so confused now! Was it me or wasn't it?! My head hurts! Where is my precious Gaffer Tape? I need to lay my head on his breast and take a nap to clear my mind.
Gaffer, don't talk about Xhonzi that way! He is a great guy, and I love him... but he just... he just isn't... you. Sorry Xhonzi...
Yes.
