anniversaries
Yoda said, “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”
Today is the 30th Anniversary of the release of Star Wars! And it is also the birthday of Frank Oz, the voice of Yoda and many other Henson creations. I love me a muppet.I am getting my hair cut at noon today...Nothing dramatic, but I need something done. Then I'll pick up Trish from the office and we'll head on around to Michigan for the weekend. Huzzah!
An aside: Cristopher finally posted on Chapter 24 of Sabbath. His post is incredible. Give it a read.
Y'all have a great weekend. The blog will be at rest while I am away.
Oh, dear - I'll admit I like the artwork! After all we're talking about mythical characters in the fullest sense so the parallel works. More a tribute than a parody?
Posted by: The young fogey at May 25, 2007 07:55 AMWhen Stars Wars first came out, I was in seminary. To celebrate the birthday of a friend who was an ardent fan, we blindfolded her, drove her to a theater, and made her stumble over a whole row of legs (all her friends...but she didn't know that till the blind fold came off)to a seat. The payoff was seeing her glee when the Stars Wars theme music began.
Was that 30 years ago? OK, now I feel really, really OLD!
