I've always wondered what it would have been like to have seen Star Wars in a movie theater 30 years ago today when it first opened. I grew up with it instead so I'll never fully understand how big of a deal it was. Practically since birth, I've known Vader was Luke's father and that it's completely practical to run off with a delusional old man bearing dangerous weapons after your adopted parents are murdered under mysterious circumstances.

Awwww, original trilogy. I still love ya', regardless of all that BS George Lucas would cough-up a quarter of a century later. Happy birthday, little-sci-fi-movie-that-would-go-on-to-spawn-a-multi-billion-dollar-franchise-that-dominated-a-good portion-of-my-childhood. Now that you're 30, it's time for you to get a real job and a mortgage, you lazy bum!

With that out of the way, here's another batch of random links:

I really wish I had thought of this first. LOLZ!!!1!

Now even CNN is criticizing MetroFi. I'm typing this up at one of the Blue Moon's outside tables near an access point. Their service isn't even registering when I search for nearby wireless networks. Four other unsecured networks though? Right there, ripe for the plucking. MetroFi's expanding into Hillsdale but it still can't a lock down on NW 21st and Glisan? Weak.

First comes Silver Surfer quarters, next comes billboards for Live Free or Die Hard on the White House lawn. Say, I don't know if I would be entirely opposed to that idea.

Sure, cocaine's back but no He-Man or Jello Pudding Pops?

Wilie Nelson? He's from Portland. Kinda.

Ok, so He-Man's back but what about those Pudding Pops?

Here, have some HARDCORE PORNOGRAPHY!

Fine, Jello Pudding Pops have been back for a while now but where's ALF?

Here's an obligatory, wistful Star Wars link.

I sure wish Chewbacca would start blogging again.

And finally...
