Made me sad when they died…
All the fun animals die in Star Wars… Episode III that big feathery lizard thing… *sniff*
I loved you Big Feathery Lizard thing! I loved you!!!!…. T_T
you mean the rancor?
Noooooo, that’s episode VI !
No, He/She meant Boga the Varactyl.
I’m such a SW Geek… /sigh
exacally…
episode 3? is that the one with jar jar?
He’s mostly in episode I, I think…
do i have a gravatar yet?
That you do.
Damn, my picture hasn’t shown yet…
It’s there. Cool looking, too.
What is it?
It doesn’t make sense now, but, at the time
DWN posted, his avatar hadn’t changed yet.
Yeah, but what is his avatar a picture of
Looks a bit like… I dunno…
*of?
I don’t know. To me it looks like a Mardi Gras
looking person, but that’s not likely.
And how do get a link with a gravatar? I couldn’t figure out how to have both.
Haha, I will let it continue to be a mystery until somebody hits Gaia.
Oh, I was going to guess Eddie Izzard as an Executive Transvestite. BYW how does one go about getting an avatar???
go here:

Have fun!
@DWN:
Okay, this is either going to work or not.

Wow, you found me. *golfclap*
Oops, sorry I got cold. They make nice sleeping bags though.
I hear they smell as bad on the inside as they do on the outside.
/Star Wars Geek
Worse probably…
Most likely.
Oh, you mean like politicians from Illinois? (yuk yuk)
Ferrets aren’t easy to keep clean, especially when it spends 17 hours per day on your head.
Dang, even I wasn’t enough of a nerd to know what the heck a “tauntaun” is.
Yeah, I had to wiki them. (tho I recognised them when I saw a picture)
I was a kid in the 80’s. Not only do I know what a tauntaun is, I can identify a twi’lek at twenty paces.
Just because we need one, there’s an Obama lol linked to my name. </threadjack>
twi’lek… that’s easy…
it’s the sluttishly (sp?) dressed dancing chick from jabba’s palace… the blue one…
LOL… I will be favoriting that one.
Nooooo, think of the children Obama! Think of the… wait… I mean… dont think o
of the children!
LOL!!
Yes, but can you pull the ears off a Gundark and live to tell about it?
I loved tauntauns when I was little. I even had a plastic toy tauntaun. I swear I knew what those things were before I reached first grade.
what?? the two legged horse thingys from hoth!
.
i bet you know what an AT-AT is…
They’re sheep-kangaroo things….
And, sadly, no… I don’t know what an AT-AT is. (tho, like N8, I do know a twi’lek when I see one…) Must have been nice seeing the trilogy when they first came out…
Ohhhh but I hated episode II….
Sorry, that ^ was a bit of a ramble…
That sort of thing NEVER happens on PK!!
the AT-AT is the big tank/elephant thing that the storm troopers have in empire strikes back… and an at-st is the two legged version that the ewoks destroy in return of the jedi…
.
and i called it a horse thingy because you ride them… not sure if i’ve ever seen someone ride a kangaroo… but i have heard of some people *ahem* ‘riding’ sheep before…
Being Scottish, she probably knows more stories about that than we do…
Excuse me! I’m from Stirlingshire -not Aberdeen!
Exactly, you even know where it happens. Something I did not.
Haha. I guess he told you AC.
Nad here I always thought it was New Zealand where men were men and the sheep were afraid.
*And
You never heard the McGregor story then…
Aahh, I always referred to them as “the big thingys.”
Gah! I was born too late for all the fun geekery…. The kids I knew were obsessed with that STINKING episode II….
when i was a kid i had the voluminous star wars blueprint book… between that and the character guide my parents wouldn’t hear from me for weeks…
to emphasize point… please check out [link]
Yes, but did you eat C3P0 cereal?
Extended Universe or Film Only?
I saw Return of the Jedi when it was in theaters, but the first two I only got to see on the small screen. Still… Rebel/Imperial fleet battle in the cinema was mightily impressive for a kid my age!
Damn you, profiteering war contractors!
Haha, only reason I got this was the Battlefront game series, great one though.
One of my favorite parts of that game was shooting the tauntauns…
You SHOT the sweet sheep-kangaroo thingys????
Of course… Rebel scum…
Congratulations. You receive one (1) high-five.
WOOT!!!
*high fives*
But in the end… every gets their ass kicked by the short little green guy….
kinda…
Kermit? Yes he does kick ass.
MUPPET-FU!
Don’t piss off Yoda, he’s one bad-arse muppet fncker!
those fraking things died or got away before I could get one, I prefer snowspeeders….
looking at this picture i wonder if kalashnikov actually designed the weapon so that your hands would not stick to the grips if it got too cold…
You know, the best weapon the Russians ever had was the cold weather….they always made their stuff to work better in the midst of it!
And I’ll say, I nearly sent scotch through my nose when I read the caption
scotch through your nose? ouch.
A great cure for a sinus infection, if ever I heard one…
Steve! That’s not me! Who are you?
*shakes fist*
Maybe I’ll have to get one of those gravatars…
*grumbles*
It’s not like ‘Steve’ is a common name…
I was going to use Steven The Great, but I thought that might be a bit ostentatious.
Well, I guess it’s better than PinkAvatarSteve.
I’m quite glad I’m YellowAvatarSteve, honestly. The scary thing is, I’d thought “Steven The Great” as well, but I thought it was really shooting kind of low for me.
Well, yeah, but when you have two people with the same name, you have to distinguish them somehow. For the time being, we can call the Steve with the yellowish avatar “New Steve”…;-) (Not to get too much off-topic, but at times in my family we’ve had multiple people around with the same name — my son at one point had 4 friends named Zach, and my daughter knew about 5 kids named Alex. Tall Alex, Gay Alex, Dumb Alex, Cute Alex, and Band Alex, or something like that. It was confusing, especially because Dumb Alex was also pretty cute but Cute Alex was smarter…)
If you met a cute, dumb, tall, gay Alex, you were stuffed…
Exactly!
I try not to be stuffed by gay men or anybody for that matter…
I don’t think that’s quite how he meant it.
Dude, where’s your tauntaun?
Where’s a wampa when you really need one?
I shot ‘im dead when I cought ‘im eatin’ mah nerfs.
this caption is lost on 90% of the general population. of course, it’s only lost on 14% of the punditkitchen audience, given the preponderance of sci-fi dorks here (raises hand, hangs head in mild shame).
you ain’t the only one *raises hand, but proudly*
*raises hand*
*raises hand and smiles, grateful for all those who understand*
Jeez, you guys are making me feel old — I was 7 in 1977 when the original trilogy came out. Saw all of them in the theater. When “Empire” came out, I was 10, and had a terrible crush on Han Solo. I cried like a baby when they froze him, and my parents were soooo embarrassed.
Don’t feel too bad, I was almost seven years from being born when Return of the Jedi arrived.
My daughter was born in 1977. = )
I was way too young to see them in theatres, and for some reason it took me ’til in my teens before I saw them. I recognise getting a bit hot and bothered by Han…
.
But I think I was more sad when I noticed that being frozen in carbon apparently made people fat. ;p
I saw the original one in the theater. I was 13, and thought it was just about the most awesome thing ever! Well, maybe not as much as my first boyfriend did; he was a serious sci-fi geek and I believe had the entire movie memorized by the end of the summer.
They froze in no time.
(I also feel old)…
Okay, this one is really good.
