George Lucas learning to write

There was only about 1 minute of painful dialog in this latest and last Star Wars. Other than that it was pretty fun and a little dark.
I think he should stop now though, with the Star Wars movies, TV, cartoons, musicals, toys, games and industrial adhesives.
Someone could write some NEW science fiction movies?
Maybe about the future or set in space or something.
Yes! War of the Worlds! H.G. Wells has this book about Martians invading Earth!
No one on Mars though. See, here are the pictures. Pretty boring place.
OK, that won't work. We'll just make anything we want and call it War of the Worlds but give it to a good director and maybe it'll fly.
THEN we can work on some new movies.
Hey! Those superhero comic books from the 1970s?
Live action Fat Albert?
That's science fiction right? Hmmm.

This call may be recorded

So, if I don't get my prescriptions filled I turn what I can only describe as "inside-out and covered with red algae". Knowing this, my insurance company and benefits coordinator managed to foul up my coverage so that it was listed as cancelled - despite paying them in excess of $10,000 this month alone. My pharmacy told me that in order to afford my meds without coverage I'd need to "drop my drawers" and perform a simple dance. Unwilling to do so, without them even asking for my "social", I returned to my benefits coordinator and asked her to respond to a few simple questions in order to improve the quality of service.

Regarding the cancellation of my insurance for one week despite my excessive payment...

Mary, how would you rate the level of service provided during the week ending 5/6/2005?
A. Totally up the schwazole
B. Merely IN the schwazole

Her reluctant response suggested that she was uncomfotable with this line of questioning. I suggested she call back during working hours and rub something viscous and permanently discoloring in her hair.

The Seventh Blade

I think I pushes the Q-Tip in so far and now have the cotton on my brain.

The first blade grabs the hair.
The second blade shaves incredibly close.
The third blade double checks to make sure you are shaved.
The fourth blade is there in case the third blade is incapacitated and unable to fulfill it's duties.
The fifth blade is a backup.
The sixth blade is purely for show, that way one blade always looks pristine.
The seventh blade is there to honor the spirits of the dead.

Twin blades.
Triple blades.
Four blades?
So five is the new goal?
Just because we CAN do something doesn't mean we should.
We did that cloning thing and now they're running all over creation pissing on transformers and shorting them out. Plus, let's face it, they can't handle the responsibility of a credit card.
