I'd never watched it all of the way through until this summer.

If anyone ever makes fun of me again for having over 10,000 posts I'm going to point them to that.

Super, if you are paraphrasing, you're not supposed to use quotation marks. :oops:
I wish you would have taken my class last summer.

I think they should have a selection of songs and catch phrases they play to alert people to various situations.

If you're ever in the Hard Rock Cafe and they announce, "Elvis has left the building," that means that all the servers need to go out to the kitchen and find out what dinner special has just sold out.

In a Broadway theater, announcing "Elvis has left the building" means a fire.

If you're ever in a hospital and they page Nurse Flamingo to the cancer ward, do not go anywhere near there. There is no Nurse Flamingo. If they page Dr. Blaze, there is no such person.

In most hospitals, Nurse Flamingo means a fire. Dr. Blaze means a fire. Dr. Green means a suicide. Dr. Blue means somebody stopped breathing.

If you are referring to the 501st......they do a lot of fund raisers for charity. I saw some at the mall in Raleigh, in full gear in July, raising money for a girl with a brain tumor. They also marched in the Tournament of Roses Parade last year before the Rose Bowl.

Honestly, I would really like a Stormtrooper helmet.

Oh, in regular papers, you're correct. I also wouldn't have used a word like "gonna" if I was writing a paper. It's a message board, so I didn't care.

You're also supposed to spell supposed with two p's.


All in good fun, Dr. Cider.

i read yesterday about the tests. as i stood outside the bookstore this morning, little groups of people stood around and discussed what was going on.

i know it was totally wrong, but one group of apparent freshman were straight up freaking out. you better believe i played along with it too... "OH MY GOODNESS... WE NEED TO GET INSIDE THE STORE." accompanied by terrified looks and a quick dash inside.

i hate you all couldn't see the look on these kids faces. i'm probably going to be struck by lightning or something for it.

That's maybe the funniest thing I've read today.

Yeah, I got a few calls and one person said they heard on the police scanner that it is not a test...I told them dont listen to the police they dont know anything and disregard anything they say....glad it was just a test :lol:



Hmmmm....note to self, the best time to do something is to do it during a test.....the police will never believe it!
