Salutations,

You got my hopes up it would be a war between the characters, but it would be no contest.

If a bunch of stone-age ewoks can trash the army of an empire that took over the galaxy, then what hope do the armies of Sauron have? *giggle*

That's a Hoot!

When I saw that second photo, I could hear (in the back of my mind) that sad R2D2 whistle...

Ah the Onion, the most wonderful site on the web (except here of course).

While not as hilarious as other The Onion material I thought it was actually well written and made a decent point. I am entertained.

My favorite quote:

"I felt really guilty about it, but I couldn't help but compare this exciting new thing in my life to my longtime relationship," DiCillo said. "And when I did, I found Star Wars coming up short. As much as I tried to deny it, the dialogue, acting, story structure, and special effects in Lord Of The Rings were all undeniably superior. Everything happens for a reason in it, and it all builds toward a thrilling, satisfying series of climaxes. I wish I could say the same for my first love."

Vintage Onion: slapping you with the truth and making you laugh about it.

Scary moment: my wife's hometown is the dateline for one of the short posts lower down. Galesburg's hit the big-time.

It's an imposter! That post is far to short to really be by Edena!
