We are less than a week from the official release of the last of the Star Wars movies. The Bay Area has gone particularly nutty. Oh wait. It’s the Bay Area, we were nutty to begin with. (Can I tell you that I’m elated to be moving to Oregon where the term “Nutty” has a completely different connotation? Not that it will apply to me there, since health food is the devil in my book) Anyhow, for some reason, big wigs in the area shelled out $500 to watch the movie one week in advance.
Now, I won’t pay $8.50 to see the same movie next week–I cannot fathom spending the $500 to see it ever… much less early. But out they were, in full garb, attending an event they labeled “charity” so they could justify what is clearly just a manifestation of their geekyness. Oh and Lucas, dear, could you stop your bitching already about how you are “tired” of Star Wars and are bothered to be part of the establishment? When you throw premier parties for charity, you don’t get to whine about the establishment. Smile for the cameras sweetie… yeah, there you
go.
Anyhow, this bit of lunacy caught my eye and sparked the following IM conversation:
Bridget Jones says: HOLY COW
Bridget Jones says: stars got to see the
new star trek tonight in sf
Bridget Jones says: life is so unfair for
the common folk
Bridget Jones says: you are oppressed

Lucas
Obi Wan says: You mean Star Wars?

Obi Wan says: Uh, no.
Bridget Jones says: uh yeah
Bridget Jones says: doi

Bridget Jones says: I’ve seen the first

Bridget Jones says: 😐
Obi Wan says: You just don’t get it
and probably never will. I don’t hold
it against you though.
Bridget Jones says: huh!
Bridget Jones says: I think you have to
have a penis to “get it”
Obi Wan says: Hmmm – I’ve known a
lot of folks without that seem to get it just fine…
Bridget Jones says: they are liars
Bridget Jones says: liars liars liars
Obi Wan says: I see – all
transvestites, eh?
Bridget Jones says: we SAY we like those
movies
Bridget Jones says: but we are only
trying to get into your pants
Bridget Jones says: women are crude like
that
Obi Wan says: Ah
Obi Wan says: So what you are really
saying is that you don’t really find my particular pants that attractive…
Bridget Jones says: what?
Bridget Jones says: oh
Bridget Jones says: no, I’m not a slut
Bridget Jones says: I don’t lie to get
laid
Obi Wan says: I see
Obi Wan says: I’ll remember that.
Bridget Jones says: 🙂
Bridget Jones says : I don’t HAVE to
Bridget Jones says: ha ha ha ha
Bridget Jones says: I should save this
convo
Obi Wan says: My aren’t you funny.
Bridget Jones says: and put it on my blog
