    In fact, if you look at the scrolling marquee at the beginning of Ep I really close, you'll see "Chancellor Palpatine, at the behest of Big Oil, has secretly built a weather maker of the coast of Naboo City in a plot to flood it and drive heating and fuel oil prices to colossal levels".

    I swear.

    In Maryland, we're averaging 2.50/gal, and that's for the 87 octane. I'm talking straight outta the ground, no purification. I remember when I was at FAMU, and we'd take road trips to Atlanta. There was a strip about midway up that had gas for, no joke, .85/gal. Boy, the way Glen Miller played...Songs that made the Hit Parade... Archie and Edith are spinning in their graves, man. Those were the days.

    When I worked at a gas station during high school gas was .50 a gallon, full service. (right now many of you are thinking man thats old) since then minimum wage has doubled and gas prices have went up by 5 times what is wrong with this picture??????

    Lan you realize that makes us both old.[]
    I do remember the simple times, as a kid I used to ride my bike to the local store which was a gas station, grocery store, harware store, and even carried some produce in season. Pinball was a nickel a game and you got 5 balls per game, a coke was a .15 and a candy bar was a dime, man if you had .50 cents you could have a blast you could drink a coke, have a candy bar, and play a couple of games of pinball and still have money left.[8D]

    yeah, i know do-clo, but its true. but, look at it this way, you are only as old as you FEEL! and when im doin my thing with building sabers and dressing up for the cons and such, i feel like a teenager again. not to mention the folks who are impressed with my outfits and work on props. back when i was layed up at home recovering from that back surgery 2 years ago, i built from scratch a stormtrooper blaster. not a pvc one, but an all metal, except the wood handle grip i made from a good grade of 2 x 4. suckers heavy, but it has the folding stock too. i took it to the fair one year, and run into the local star wars club guys, and they really liked it. they even asked if i might do some props for them since theyre payin out the whazoo for MR stuff. hey, ya know, that says alot, IMO. i must be doin something right. lol just wished i knew what, lol

    i sure will as soon as i can get a camera. i dont have one, the pics i did of the sabers were done from a cruddy 3 in 1 camera, and it keeps killing the computer when i plug it in, so i threw it out.

    \update: got one off ebay. so i can get pics before long.
