I love this guy a whole lot. I have done similar things at the school crosswalk in my neighborhood and it is very hard to do this even when you know you are in the right and protecting people.

Herding congress sounds much tougher, but a good goal.

This needs to be featured in a zombie movie.

Andy Kaufman would be proud.

stay with it to the end. the last bit is the best.

that is almost certainly Florida. Not because they are crazy and everyone in FL is crazy, but because of the screened in pool. Those only happen in places that never get snow (snow would rip the screens). Also, sigh, many people here in FL are crazy.

I'll go with Sleeper.

where's the "in Russia the magnet ____ you" joke? I can always see it coming but I usually (like this time) can't figure out the punch line until someone else says it.

i think it may be that Lucas changed his mind about this a few times. Sometimes, during the making of a movie, he cared a lot and wanted everything to match. Other times, when he was not interested in the universe, he didn't care and anything goes. Also, it's very likely that the emails that people in the studio got from George were actually from a writer, marketer, etc...
The further you dig into the guts of Star Wars, the more you realize that Lucas made up much of it as he went and had no qualms about inconsistency if a scene he wanted caused it.

I can attest, I worked at lucasarts around that time. for a game we were making, we had made a light saber color generator that let the player pick their own personal color. George sent an email to us that said we had to nix that and that there were only red for bad, green or blue for good and purple for Mace Windu. we had to kill the whole system and remove it from the game. it was a bummer for us, but I guess it kept things consistent so that's ok.

and here is Russel with a worthy interlocutor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKPRfW6DCtI
