Maybe someone will get us one, eventually.

Not gonna happen. They don't like us.

Originally I would only drink Kool-Aid in the summer... but you all are opening my eyes to new and different things!

Prefer Purple Saurus Rex, I do. But they discontinued it, so I make it myself with Grape Kool-Aid and Country Time Lemonade. I will be drinking some when I get home.

Quenches thirst Kool-Aid does... (Like Yoda on this thread we talk)

ReaLLY, WE'RE AT r ALREADY?

Surely you jest? Now we have arrived at 'S', with 'T' to surely follow. Where is jaleb? Maybe she will take 'T'. I miss talking to her, but am not on late at night much anymore.

Terribly sad, but have taken the letter "t" instead.

Ugnaughts originally hail from Gentes, in the Anoat system, from where they were sold into slavery long ago. When the Corellian eccentric and noble Lord Ecclessis Figg wished to build a floating mining complex on Bespin, he decided to recruit several Ugnaught tribes to help in the mining of the base metals needed to build the structure. To this end, he recruited three Ugnaught tribes, the Botrut, the Isced and the Irden. He promised them freedom, livelihood and a share in the Figg & Associates profits. To make themselves feel at home, the Ugnaughts have constructed many labyrinthine tunnels throughout the city, which can only be navigated by their kind.

Very, very, freaky.

Well kiddies! We're only four pages away from 300!
What should we do then?

Xpletive! I was trying to post about Wookies when my connection was severed. Here is what I was going to post:

Wookies are shaggy giants from an arboreal world. Tall and commanding, the Wookiee species is an impressive sight to even the most jaded spacer. Despite their fearsome and savage countenance, Wookiees are intelligent, sophisticated, loyal and trusting. Loyalty and bravery are near-sacred tenets in Wookiee society. When peaceful, Wookiees are tender and gentle. Their tempers, however, are short; when angered, Wookiees can fly into a berserker rage and will not stop until the object of their distemper is sufficiently destroyed.

During the time of the Galactic Republic, the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk was represented in the Galactic Senate by a number of Wookiee potentates. Loyal to the Republic, Kashyyyk was of prime strategic importance, serving as a major navigational point for the entire southwestern quadrant of the galaxy. This made it a target of the Confederacy, who invaded Kashyyyk during the Clone Wars. Republic forces, under the command of Yoda, were dispatched to protect the Wookiee homeworld. Yoda had fostered a good relationship with the Wookiees over his many years, and they trusted his leadership. Jedi, clones and Wookiee forces fought fiercely to protect the tree cities of Kashyyyk.

Kashyyyk's loyalty meant little to the unscrupulous Empire that arose to replace the Republic. Despite their proven intelligence, Wookiees were enslaved by the Empire and exploited for their brute strength. Their homeworld was blockaded, and a free Wookiee was a rare sight in the galaxy.

Perhaps the best-known free Wookiee was Chewbacca, loyal co-pilot and friend of famed Corellian smuggler Han Solo. Chewbacca was instrumental in the defeat of the Empire, and the eventual liberation of his people.

Yoda would be proud of us, yes he would. I haven't been on as often lately, lots of family stuff (nothing bad, just busy). I still try to check in at night at least once. And going back to Yoda,I saw a kid dressed as him for Halloween, it was really cute.

Zuckuss was a successful Gand bounty hunter during the height of the New Order. Referred to as "The Uncanny One" by his fellow hunters, Zuckuss was renowned for his ability to discover hidden quarry. His tracking skills derived both from his training as a Findsman and from his innate Force-sensitivity, allowing him to sense individuals at range and sense the motives of his prey.

During his long career, Zuckuss had many associates but was known primarily to partner with the droid 4-LOM. The two made a formidable bounty hunting team and were successful in retrieving the Yavin Vassilika over such opponents as Bossk and Dengar. Their success eventually attracted the attention of the Empire, and they were hired by Darth Vader to find the Millennium Falcon near the end of the Galactic Civil War. Due to his famed abilities, Zuckuss was highly sought after, and he found employment with the Bounty Hunters Guild, the Hutt Cartel, TaggeCo, and even the Rebellion for a time. Somewhat of a Rebel sympathizer, Zuckuss eventually began to hunt primarily for New Republic targets near the end of his career.

Although incredibly successful, Zuckuss was not without major flaws. He was plagued with schizophrenia and an advanced case of multiple personality disorder which caused him to speak in two different dialects. Despite his mental health, Zuckuss became incredibly popular on his homeworld of Gand, eventually inspiring an entire generation of Gand bounty hunters to seek success off-world.

Amidala was the royal name of Padmé Naberrie when she was democratically elected as the Queen of Naboo before representing Chommell Sector as a Senator in the Galactic Senate. As Queen of Naboo, Padmé helped liberate her people, becoming one of the most respected politicial figures in the galaxy. Throughout her relatively short life, she played a vital role in the politics and events surrounding the Clone Wars, where Amidala and other senators were responsible for creating the foundation for the Rebel Alliance.

Later in her life, Amidala became the secret wife of Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and the mother of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa Solo, two of the most important figures in Galactic history. She was also the grandmother of Jaina Solo, Jacen Solo, Anakin Solo and Ben Skywalker. This would have made her great-grandmother of Allana, Jacen's daughter, and an ancestor of Cade Skywalker and Kol Skywalker.

bjorker feels sad. bjorker doesn't know about Star Wars or other sci fi geekiness to keep the trend going. Sad bjorker!
