There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy

It's been 30 years since the first Star Wars movie was released. There was an article in this morning's paper about Star Wars, and how it is a "fantasy for our times" and how it's a fairy tale, a myth. Anyway, the side bar on the page does not seem to be written by the author of the main bit, which was written by a Canwest reporter so i think it was maybe written by the entertainment editor of the local paper. It lists words of wisdom from the Star Wars movie and how it meshes with this guy's life philosophy. Most of the comments beneath the quotes are my version of what the reporter wrote. Here's the full list as written.

"You stuck up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder!" - Princess Leia
works as a great comeback line.
"Try not. Do or do not, there is no try." - Yoda
Good philosophy, that.

"I find your lack of faith disturbing" - Darth Vader
ergo - always have faith in yourself.

"Size matters not." - Yoda
On so many levels :)

"Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?" - Obi-Wan Kenobi
Indeed.

And the best one...
"Let the Wookie win." - C-3PO
as the author says "This one's pretty much self-explanitory.

So why is it that when you have what seems to be a fairly good breakfast (OJ, strawberries, banana, english muffin and peanutbutter), you're starving by 10:00 o'clock a.m.? I thought the protien from the pb would carry me on through. Guess not.

Because your metabolism is boosted...your body is looking for more energy. Might have been better off to save the banana for a mid-morning snack to get you through to lunch :)

"I find your lack of faith disturbing"

The good thing about this is that it is so flexible. For example, if someone can't let you a pen "I find your lack of biros disturbing" or when you are frustrated in your desire to have a cup of tea "I find your lack of teabags disturbing". Best done while wheezing like an asthmatic to heighten the sense of menace. People will soon learn to have pens and milk when you want them.. probably.
