The really interesting thing is that in the first pic, he's not sitting there by choice ;)
Look at his hands...

I watched Jedi with the commentary on and Lucas pretty much said this (Anakin/Dooku) was going to happen while talking about the Vader/Luke fight.

There's also a new movie-spanning Vanity Fair cover.

Better late than not I suppose...

Nightmare Before Christmas: Santy Claws lighted sculpture, desk set, tie, Jack & Sally figures, calendar (with Halloween countdown clock)
Star Wars: new 12" vintage-style figures, Jango helmet
DVD: Happy Days S1, Clerks X, Land of the Lost S1, Eerie Indiana
Shadows Over Baker Street (book)
His & hers matching Peanuts pjs

and the coolest thing by far: an Icons Darth Vader lightsaber hilt. This was the company making replicas a few years back that went out of business. I'm not sure how they found it but I am so thrilled they did!

Well, I had a couple good experiences, a few more not so good and then met my wife....The funny thing was I hadn't planned on trying to date her at first. She lived in a city I had lived in a few months prior (Salem) and she liked Star Wars (always a huge plus).
So we started emailing, then phone calls, and eventually dating.
But if you're looking for a hook-up I believe there are some more, uh..adult orientated "dating" sites out there...not that I would know.

If they do that there needs to be a test you take before going through the course to see if you can already get your degree!

So is Keira Knightly ;)
She would be the only reason I rent this. It just doesn't look "good", fun? Maybe.

IMO, you're not a "bad" person for going on Christmas. Do I think they should be open? Heck no.
However, the job I have doesn't have "holidays" except that if we're scheduled to work on one of those days we get a comp day.
So for us, there's no difference in today, Christmas, New Year's, whatever. Admittedly any day the NYSE is closed makes for an easy workday but it's still work.

One of the reasons they're giving out the respecs is the addition of Aux. Power Pools at lvl 41. These new powers give each type of character a taste of other class powers.
There's been tons of hubbub about it on the COH forums. The new Issue is now pushed back to Jan due to lots of whining..I mean, player testing.

I knew after our 3rd date that I was going to marry my wife. It's rare, but it does happen.

Lack of grouping was one of the main reasons I left SWG. For some reason no one wanted an almost Master Pistoleer/Master Tailor in their hunting group.

Even though I solo a lot it's really the group experience that keeps me playing the game. Groups are almost always looking for support "classes", esp. healers. On the other hand, a great group shouldn't need a healer, but that's a whole nother thing ;)

Apparently, none of these people that equate magic/fairy tales with children's writing have ever read the original Grimm tales.

I haven't watched the series yet, have it stored for spare time.
Having said that, I would have preferred a full-length movie of just Wizard. Probably the first fantasy novel I ever read, it's been a favorite book of mine for quite a long time now.  Not sure what it was but I think some part of me identified with young Ged's (almost) solitary journey.
I have a feeling a lot of what I loved about the first novel is going to be lost due to compressing the books into 4 hours.

Grouping in CoH depends on your character choice. Some are made for supporting a group others are made to be killing machines. I solo probably about 80% of the time.
And finding a good supergroup (guild) to join can greatly reduce the annoying tween/teen players you have to put up with.

Graphic comedic violence.
Sam Raimi would be proud.

A little OT, but I heard the story on the news last night of a CA woman, living in MA, who had killed her hubby years ago and shipped him to a self-storage place in MA in a cooler.
And I thought "Now that sounds like a CSI show!" No sooner had I thought it than they showed a Crime Scene Services van at the scene :)
