Oh yeah! Star Wars is great. Unfortunately I'm the only one in the house who wants to watch them all in order in one sitting.
I feel so stifled. They won't allow the nerd out.

I can SO relate Bill!
My kids are both anti-star wars and I can't get near either TV in our home, so I have to watch on my lap top...
Did you just say you watch them all... in one sitting?.... i salute your stamina- the force really must be with you!

I didn't know that! I guess I'll have to give it a try...although it will be an expensive experience if anything turns wrong!

Funny how you would say that, the only one I've seen was the Episode 1...I guess I should take a look at those classics!

I liked the first one the best. Then again, I only watched the first two.

Amazing that Star Wars is still big, a generation later.

You should check out the 3rd one. You're missing out if you haven't seen Jabba the hut and the Ewoks.

Empire(5) is the best one. Think you need to watch it again.

Yep my confusion is obvious- even to me now...
Of the prequels though, the 3rd is necessary and the fight scene is well done, IMO
Also, Hayden Christensen-( who is Canadian) was babysat by my sister's hairdresser's cousin's sister!
So I enjoy watching the prequels, even though the acting...sucks...I know....

I'm not a very fast driver myself, I've even see a few 60 years olds (if not older) getting in front of me by the right lane (Wes, don't try to understand...) and giving me dirty looks because I was too slow for them!

Don't drive fast, don't chase skirt. You don't cry at rom-coms as well do you

I still don't get it. Oh - you mean equally unimpressed?

Baconnn.... mmmm and to think, my daughter wanted grilled cheese and bacon sammiches for dinner tonight. She got a pretty quick "sure!"

Poor gluten free hubby - I guess he'll get a fried egg or two with his bacon.

And some homegrown tomatoes from the neighbors... we have the best neighbors.

No, I find them boring as hell...I scream at horror movies though (and I love it, that's why I always watch them).

How about you Wes? You macho man you!

Well Michelle said "We live a 35 minute drive,(going just a tad over the speed limit)"

When she could of just said 40/45 mins. And she'd right about me being a sarcastic git.

Obviously not funny, I should go to bed.

Come live next to me then, I have some chili peppers as well (and by the way, ladies and gentlemen, I've put some on a pizza I've made the other day. Not only were they perfectly spicy but also delicious).
