4. I've always thought it sounded a little more like a trombone.
But I'll take your word for it.

6. Ever notice when Chewbacca sings the "Tonight Show" theme in one of the original films?
I forget which one, but there's a scene where he delivers a line, and it sounds very much like the first five notes of the old "Tonight Show" theme.

9. Please do not insult the Wookiee
It's not wise to upset a Wookiee.

7. You Know What I Hear?
I'm a Texan. I have an accent. I love dialects. They give the language spice and flavor. When Bush speaks, I hear a fake Texan making us sound like idiots the world over. I hope you guys do know that we do NOT say "'Murka". We "America" with a nice little drawl on it but it still sounds like the complete and correct word. I hate Bush. I really really hate him.

10. My grandfather was a proud Texan, although he grew up in Georgia
and eventually settled in Florida. He always considered himself a Texan because that's where he was born. About 6 months or so before he passed away, I had to break it to him that the chimp wasn't really a Texan, that he was from "up north". He was really shocked, to say the least. Grandpa was a great man and a good Democrat. He didn't like mr bush at all as a president, but stuck up for him as a Texan. I never heard him mention bush's name afterwards.

You just never know what kind of disinformation people will believe just because it never gets disputed. What this Country needs is a Truth Movement to take back the media from the propaganda factory. We, The People need a dose of the truth, no matter how ugly it may be. It might help wake up some of the sleeping masses and make them realize that the world isn't all 'Happy Days' and 'Leave it to Beaver'.

11. You may actually get beyond the hatred, as I did.
I don't really hate him anymore. He's sick. He needs help. I'm certainly not going to give it to him because I feel nothing but ... "disconnectedness" ... like he is of another realm that I cannot understand but I just want him to go away.
