Star Wars Joke

Q: How do you recognize a Lutheran Jedi?

A: When you say, "may the Force be with you," s/he replies "and also with you."

My sister-in-law told us this when we were home visiting last month. I think it's hilarious (and it works for Presbyterian Jedi, too)! I told Bruce we need to exchange this greeting with everyone we meet at Celebration next summer - that's going to be a blast! :-)

Happy Birthday, Derek!

Today is our nephew's third birthday. There was a big party in Toledo yesterday. Although we couldn't be there, we sent a gift -- we got Derek his very own lightsaber (the Yoda model). He likes it very much. He told us so when we talked to him today.

Happy birthday, dear nephew, we love you!

Happy Toy No Food

A couple of weeks ago we took in Star Wars: The Clone Wars -- of course we did, you can't keep us away from a Star Wars film! It's not bad, as long as you realize that it's a kids' movie, and a cartoon at that. Only three of the original voice talents perform in this movie which is set in between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. The plot is very basic, and the acting is just okay, but it was fun overall.

Afterward, we headed to McDonald's because there's a cross-promotion going on and we wanted to get in on it. The clerk told us they wouldn't have any of the Happy Meal toys until the next day. So, we ended up having double cheeseburgers several times that weekend -- you don't have to buy Happy Meals to get the toys, you just have to buy them. We've got 4 of the toys -- three pull-back racers and the talking Vader. The title of this post is what was printed on our receipt, sounds sort of like a Star Wars Fortune cookie, doesn't it?
