This is cool!

And apparently it’s still growing (to judge by the “Add An Event” button).

Very cool! I had to repost that one myself!
Awesome find.

Glad you had fun with it!

(grin) But do link back to me / my LJ, OK? It's weird that I've been blogging since 2002, but people still seem astonished to see me around (this is the second "Yes, *that* Diane Duane!" I've had today (http://shortwoman.com/?p=608)). Maybe with some more linkbacks we can start putting that to rest. :)

"As you wish." ;)

The funny thing is, I usually *do* use the LJ user tag when I link something I found on a friend's page, but I didn't this time because I felt linking to a celebrity might be bad form. Heh. (which I guess is odd, because that's how I found you in the first place!)

[dduane.livejournal.com]

"Celebrity"! OMG, like Barack Obama and Paris Hilton? (grin) Puh-leeze.

[cholma.livejournal.com]

Yesh. EXACTLY like Paris Hilton (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSJCnBz7cTg). ;D

I assume you're picking out your VP as well? :D

(sigh) It's so hard to pick somebody who can be offered the Bucket of Warm Spit position without being offended (or wanting to spend the rest of their time in office in an Undisclosed Location).

I was kind of considering Scrappy-Doo, myself. :)

No offense, but I'm voting the
Meadow Party this year, since "None
Of The Above" isn't available.

Bill the Cat & Opus...oop, ack!

[anamin.livejournal.com]

interesting. I wonder when 'do not want' will be added. That was such a horrid translation of Star Wars. I can't remember where to find it though.

[keristor.livejournal.com]

Oh, was that the translation of SW from the Chinese version? I remember that, don't remember where to find it but might know someone who knows.

Do Not Want

[cholma.livejournal.com]

My Google-fu is strong:

Star War: Backstroke of the West (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBDcmVETEzE). ("Do Not Want" is at 4:26)

[anamin.livejournal.com]

Yes, I believe that was it. From the end of Revenge of the Sith or whatever was the name of III. When Darth says 'Noooooooooo!" at the end, it translates to 'Do Not Want!'

[keristor.livejournal.com]

And has since passed into general speech, used by people who have no idea from whence it came.

[anamin.livejournal.com]

I'm probably one of the worst offenders. It took my brother to remind me where it came from. "All your base are belong to us" is a classic though.
