The Rumor Mill Hard At Work
Happy Hump Day peoples (yeah, I just wanted to use the word ‘hump’ in a sentence).
Before I get started, I just want you to know that y’all came this close | | (go ahead and hold your fingers up) to not having a post today. I went to save the post and it just disappeared. Poof. Luckily I had copied and pasted it into Word so I could spell check it.
Anyways, today I thought I would bring you the latest internet geek gossip tearing up message boards across the information superhighway. So lean in close and get ready.
An Even Longer Longer Time Ago In A Galaxy Just As Far Away:
Just when you thought that George Lucas had hung up with Star Wars spurs, he has another idea for a pre-prequel (also known as Episode -II). Yes, that’s right. However, this time he would be reaching even farther back into the history of Star Wars…somewhere in the neighborhood of 800 years to be exact.
Rumor has it that he wants to tell the story of a young Yoda and how the Sith were exterminated with first time. If you remember from The Phantom Menace, Mace said that the Sith were exterminated a millennia ago. So that would put the time frame about right since Yoda was 900 years old when he died in Return of the Jedi. Honestly, the idea do sound rather cool. Just not sure if I could handle Yoda talking for two hours straight.
But when you consider the fact that Revenge of the Sith has grossed over 400 million world wide by now and easy half-billion. In addition to the movie sales, merchandizing has banked a him 2 billion. With those numbers, a seventh (and possibly eighth and ninth) film is hard to turn down.
Thankfully Lucas has hinted that his butt will be parked in the producer’s chair and not in the director’s chair.
That would be a positive change.
At any rate, this was George’s final thoughts on the matter: “Well, we have a TV series and an animated series and depending how those do, this is something we might someday visit … but it’s too far out to really commit to anything.”
And no, this would not be another marathon event.
This has been Joshua with your geek news update. Enjoy.

I'm currently living in Tallahassee, FL where I am a graduate of the Computer Science program at FSU and a C# web developer for a local software company.
I want to use the word “hump” in a sentence as well!
“The new Mitsubishi Eclipse looks like a Chrysler Crossfire humped a 350z.”
“Don’t stand chattering to yourself like that,” Humpty Dumpty said, looking at her for the first time, “but tell me your name and your business.”
“My name is Alice, but—”
“It’s a stupid name enough!” Humpty Dumpty interrupted impatiently. “What does it mean?”
“Must a name mean something?” Alice asked doubtfully.
“Of course it must,” Humpty Dumpty said with a short laugh: my name means the shape I am and a good handsome shape it is, too. With a name like yours, you might be any shape, almost.”

also the guy in the mercedes truck is a jerk
i love it. the scripps story is just satarical and not true (but funny), and the nebraska guy needs to watch new ebay auctions.
Could I please have the origin and definion of the word “hump”. Could you also use it in a sentence.
Well, the poor spelling bee kid can’t spell and the guy in nebraska cannot do math.
“‘Fifty percent of it is I want the person to get busted, but I want the stuff back more,’ he said.”
nice pick up on the quote i completel missed it. it must have been my “fuzzy accounting math” still at work.
and thanx for the truck link josh you have no clus how much it made me smile.
It still makes me smile when I think about the time you did that to that hitchhiker on the Bainbridge bypass.
I, uhhh, watched the Spelling Bee, admittedly, and he didn’t mess up on the word “girlfriend”. And the words were wayyy harder.
I watched it during bowling class between frames.

NO!!! Evil emoticons. What happened to my really cool special one? : o ) There you go. Put that together. Way better than some standard one.
watching spelling bees? hmmmmmmm… if we don’t watch tem and choose not to spend hours studying the dictionary does that mean that the rest of us are proletariat ignoramuses?
Yes, Kathy, that’s exactly correct.
I mean, let’s start with the basics… Them is spell T-H-E-M not tem.
Better get watching
Kathy, does that make you a LTWFTW?
I wonder if the whole television is for proletariat ignoramuses applies to watching spelling bees.
And anyone who is arrogant enough to call me a proletariat ignoramus is a [insert four letter word].
It may have fewer letters, but it gets my point across better.
Spell that!
I’m not sure that that makes me a LTWFTW, not quite yet my friend, not quite yet.
