It's been a long time since I've seen this thread, and frankly - I miss it. It was great. So I'm
going to start it back up again. Let's hear your ideas, and I'll list a few to get you started:

1. You can recite *all* the dialogue from the trilogy.
2. You watch the entire trilogy at least once a month.
3. You wonder why the SW theme never makes it into those "clasical collections."
4. Your internet handle or signature refers to Star Wars
5. You think the babblings of Yoda are relevant and useful to everyday life.
6. You have a pet or child named after one of the characters.
7. A SW *.wav file plays on your computer whenever you do a windows application.

Hmm...all of those except #6 apply to me. 'Tho at one time I thought of
naming my pickup truck the Millenium Falcon, especially since the
hyperdrive didn't always work. :)

Here's one that does apply to me:

You've ever held up and onion ring and said, "Look, sir....droids!"

I've had this hanging around for a while:

You're not really a Star Wars Junkie until...

1) Any time you pick up a walkie-talkie or two-way radio, the first
thing you
say is "TK-421, why aren't you at your post?"
2) Whenever you went anywhere outside with your friends, you always
walked
single file, to hide your numbers.
3) You've written several letters to the President recommending that he
dissolve the council, put power in the hands of the regional
governors,
and let fear keep the local systems in line.
4) In college, after several hours of poker, you got thrown our of the
game
for suggesting, "How about some sabacc?"
5) Whenever your mother asked you to babysit your little brother, you
always
instilled confidence by replying, "Leave him to me. I will deal with
him
myself!"
6) When trying unsuccessfully to snare that last Cheerio floating in
your
cereal bowl, you remarked, "the Force is strong with this one."
7) On Halloween, you would never dress as one of the following:
Luke, Han Solo, Leia, Vader, Chewie, Threepio, Artoo

However, you would dress as:
Wedge, Porkins, Crix Madine, that spider droid from Jabba's palace
that fat dancer from Jabba's palace, Sy Snootles, the Cantina
bartender
The monster in the trash compactor, Boba Fett, An Imperial probe
droid

8) You've told the mall Christmas elf, "You will take me to Santa NOW!"
9) You've been pulled over by a policeman and when asked to see your
drivers
license you replied, "You don't need to see my identification."
10) You have physically threatened anyone who referred to "Hans Solo" or
"Dark Vader", confused Star Wars with Star Trek, or spellied Wookiee
with
only one "e."
11) You have held up an onion ring and said, "Look sir...droids!"
12) You've referred to Wedge Antilles or Boba Fett as "The Man."
13) You've bought a white Isuzu Trooper, strictly because of the name.

Or, while looking for a matching sock in your drawer, you mutter to
yourself "Lock on to the strongest power source, it SHOULD be the power
generator!"

And follow up with, "You serve your master well!"

You sat on Santa's lap and petitioned for the release of Captain Solo.

He informed you your Jedi mind tricks wouldn't work on him.

You gave him one last chance.

You told him it would be the last mistake he ever made.

It wasn't. You didn't get Captain Solo for Christmas.

> 9) You've been pulled over by a policeman and when asked to see your drivers

And when he asks about your two friends in the back "They're for sale,
if you want them."

While sitting on the couch with your girlfriend, she comments about
being cold. So, naturally, you slice open the side of the cushion and
stuff her in.

When you insist on telling the cashier you're a collector when getting
your weekly hit of SW toys.

You bought kids meals at Taco Bell just to get all of the toys.
(Anybody have a spare Darth/Yoda cube?)

You insist on spelling Pizza Hut "Pizza Hutt."

You bought a pizza from Pizza Hutt to get the coloring box but decided
to leave the pizza intact in the box because it might be worth something
someday.

You met your girlfriend (boy/friend) through Star Wars.

You dropped your religion and now live the way Yoda taught you.

You recorded all the new Star Wars comercials.

You think any of these are funny.

You still laugh at all the subtle humor in the trilogy.

You pray each night that Lucas won;t screw up the trilogy.

You put down that you are a Star Wars fan on applications hoping to get
the upper edge.

You frequently experience insomnia and, to counter this, begin counting
nerfs.

You know what a nerf is.

You answer the phone "Die wanna wanga?"

Whenever you buy a new appliance, you make sure to get one that speaks
Bacchi.

When asked to do the dishes or some other chore, you reluctantly agree
after whining "But I was going to go to Taschi Station to pick up some
power convertors!"

When you go go on an amusement park ride where you ride back to back,
you call your friend Dak and tell him/her to stop whining about their
approach vector.

You have your own custom made Jedi robes and you wear them out. If
someone confuses you with a Monk, you grab a stick and beat them
senseless. When done, you stand break the stick over your knee and
anounce to the crowd "I am a Jedi, like my father before me."


You often greet old friends by scaring the daylights out of them,
calling them losers, then proceding to hit on their girlfriends.

You tried to freeze your POTF2 Luke Skywalker in your parents' freezer,
but not before testing it on Captain Solo.

You wonder why no one else was invited to the Lars family barbecue.

You call your aunt and uncle Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen.

Whenever you catch sight of cars behind yours, you say "Fighters, coming
in, point three five."

Someone else in your car says "What about that tower?"

You respond, "You worry about those fighters, I'll worry about the
tower", and moments later your car slams into the water tower the
passenger was referring to

As everyone starts a tough exam, you look it over, tell yourself "Do or
do not, there is no try." You, deciding this falls into the "do not"
category, you write your name and turn it in blank.

When a cop catches you speeding, you floor it, saying "I've outrun
Imperial starships, and not the local bulk cruisers..."

When you discover that you CAN'T outrun the police car, you calmly
comment "I know a few maneuvers. We'll lose them."

After a long chase, the cop decides to shoot out one of your tires to
slow you down. You tell the passengers "I've lost my starboard engine"

When you finally are stopped by the policeman, you try to use mind
control: "This isn't the car you're looking for. You don't need to see
my driver's license. I can just move along now."

He finds that this sort of thing has happened three or more times
before.

When someone apologizes to you, you choke him and tell him that you
accept his apology.

You ride a Harley Davidson through the forest at top speed, and survive
after throwing yourself off just before it hits a tree.

You get up after a long, long sleep and start mumbling anxiously, "Where
am I? I can't see!"

When nobody else is around, you've seriously tried to draw something
into your hand with the Force.

When riding your bike, you accelerate wildly by checking behind you,
then pressing down with your right toe.

You tried to ride as fast as you could through the forest on your bike,
looked back to check on your companion and crashed headlong into a tree.

You've ever wondered whether Carrie Fisher had someone who warmed up her
brass bikini in a toaster oven on cold mornings during the filming of
ROTJ.

You've ever pretended the orange in your lunchbox was a thermal
detonator, and thought about using it to get a better price at the milk
counter.

That's all I've got.

Let's see :-

>1. You can recite *all* the dialogue from the trilogy.

I can recite *most* of the dialogue. Including the while Yoda's Force thing.

>2. You watch the entire trilogy at least once a month.

I used to do that, every week. But only my fav scenes.

I really wonder why. Anyway, I listen to it once a week.

>4. Your internet handle or signature refers to Star Wars

Look on the very top of this posting. :)

>5. You think the babblings of Yoda are relevant and useful to everyday life.

I *truely* believe so. "Wars do not make one great" is as relevant as "Thou
shalt not kill"

>6. You have a pet or child named after one of the characters.

I have neither pet nor child. But who knows when I have one.

Let's see,

* whenever I start my virus scanning, it goes "Send a scanning crew aboard. I
want every part of the ship checked"

* When my windows closed down it says "Sir, if you're not be needing me, I'll
close down for a while."

* When the windows start, a short snippet of the starwars theme played.

So, was does that make of me?

You can't watch "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" anymore because Shredder
is the ultimate rip-off of Vader.
You're convinced that Disney's Gummi Bears was a rip-off of Ewoks. (They
were, too: little bear-like animals wearing tribal clothing and living in
trees connected by catwalks...hmm)

I don't recall seeing these in the other replies...

8. You've 'wielded' a flashlight and made humming sounds.

9. You think of Darth Vader when you use the bathroom.
(this one is rather male oriented ;)

10. You've defended the acting of one Mark Hamill.

11. You wave your hand purposefully and 'use the force' to open and
close automatic doors or elevator doors.

How 'bout when someone's lack of faith disturbs you (or just when someone pisses you off) you try to

And using the force to reach out of reach items...this works! Yeah, whoever is near me sees my

You have SW screen saver on your PC (mandatory).

Your PC is about to get crushed from the weight of all the SW toys
standing on top of it.

In your Internet browser you have more SW bookmarks than anything else.

You save old SW calendars, going back at least 5 years.

You are digussted when somebody gets the plot, or the names of main
characters, wrong.

Now, I know that a lot of you out there don't believe that all of the
post Jedi novels are canon, but you can play along for fun.

WARNING: SPOILERS OF PREVIOUSLY RELEASED NOVELS!

SPOILERS THIS WAY!

I WARNED YOU!


Barbara Hambly's new SW book, "Planet of Twilight", comes out in May,
which gives us some time. We know from Children of the Jedi and
Darksaber that Callista has lost her Jedi powers and seemingly has
disappeared. She's "going on her own odyessy" as the book says, to
regain those powers. We also know that she does not appear in any later
books.

My question for all of you is: OK, what happens to her? I'm assuming
that she's going to somehow regain her powers, but bite the bullet
saving Luke from some dire occurrence. But maybe I'm wrong. What about
the rest of you? What do you think is going to happen to Callista?
Let's hear your hypothesis, people!

(Note: if someone out there really knows what happens, keep your trap
shut. Don't spoil the new book for the rest of us.)

You might be a Star Wars addict if...

When accelerating your car to enter the freeway, you tell your
passengers to strap in and prepare for light speed.

Your significant other dumps you because everytime she/he says, "I love
you" you always respond, "I know."

You quote Yoda to defend your political beliefs.

When discussing military strategy you often refer to the Battle of
Yavin.
Much of your emotional energy is expended determining what is canon.

You try and use the Jedi mind trick to pick up women/men (this courtesy
of "Swingers")

You cut off your Dad's hand and tell him that there is still good in
him.

It's enough to have DOS & Windoze loaded and a very few other things.
Since I use Notepad and Write to edit my web pages it's not as big a
handicap as not having Netscape to view them with. I have plenty of
Win games, though.

My next drive will be 1.6GB or larger. Preferably 3.1GB. I could get
by easily with 600MB but I want play room.

...somebody is slagging off your car and you tell them it's the fastest
hugajug in the galaxy. So, you're driving through the countryside, and
a farmer is spraying. You stop, call him over and say "What a wonderful
smell you've discovered". He says that he knows what he is doing - "*I*
am the farmer", and wrapping your lips round an imaginary pole you cry
"Neeeeeoooooooooooorgh!". Your clothes are mucky, but you've run out of
soap powder. You go to the supermarket and can't find any. The
assistant tells you to pick up your visual scanning. You get some Daz,
in a can. The assistant appears again and says "Looking? Found some
you have, hmm?" The check-out girl asks what it is, and you say "It is
my Daz tinny". You get home, and switching on the washingmachine you
say "Help me, oh dear can, clean muddy, you're my only soap".

Here's the comic: the caption says "Signs you've seen the Star Wars movies too
many times". Dave has just opened the donut box at an office meeting. He
gasps in horror as he picks up two of those curly sweet roll things, and shouts
out "What have you done with Princess Leia?"

If I haven't thrown out the paper, I'll try to scan it in and post it.

Same here. My wife catches most of them and actually finds some of
them appropriate.

You have your front seat passenger set the coordinates so you can make the jump into hyperspace.

You used "jedi mind tricks" to get your local library to get the Star Wars
videos so you could rent them for an entire week, for free (assuming you
don't own said videos)
(I swear I'm beginning to think I did this. One day, not a library in my
region had 'em, then another day, my own library'd gotten all 3 and the
soundtracks and novelizations and talking books of the novelizations.)

You spend 2 weeks pouting about the star wars toy you didn't get and
plotting ways of getting it.

You walked into The Sharper Image or another store displaying a life-size
Stormtrooper, and ordered them to sell it to you.

When someone calls and it's a wrong number you insist that there was a
slight dialing malfunction but everything's perfectly all right now. When
they insist on your telling them who you are and what number they dialed,
you stammer "uhh... uhh..." and shoot the phone.

Every time you see a stormtrooper on cardboard signs or in store windows,
you pretend to shoot it.

You've been told by more than three people in one day that someone should
have prevented you from ever seeing Star Wars.

Don't like the novelizations? You rewrite em.

Tried to get the Death Star plans so you could make a model.

You move to the UK just so you can sit in the pub and do Darth Vader
impressions into your empty pint glass. You tried it in the US but
without those extra four fluid ounces the tone just ain't quite right.
