There's probably more people in that photo than read that guy's column.

I say we order 66 that paper.

Didn't get the picture, as usual, but I get the idea from the subsequent posts.

So, I have this story:

I used to belong to the Society for Creative Anachronism, a non-profit dedicated to recreating the best of the middle ages & renaissance, the costuming, dancing, martial arts, cuisine, etc. When one of my cousins heard about this she scoffed at how silly it was for a bunch of grown-ups to be playing dress-up & make-believe. A little later my sister asked her what she'd been doing for fun. "Well," said my cousin, " I put on my western gear and hang out with my friends at the Country & Western bar. We watch football and drink woo woos."

"What are woo woos?" my sister and I asked.

"That's when your team scores a touchdown and do a shot and yell out 'woo woo!"

My sister & I just looked at each other. Later my sister said to me, "And she calls the SCA silly."

Eubanks has been on Mark & Brian talking about it all, and taking SW fan calls.

I myself only caught like the last 60 seconds of it. I was under the gun on a project in Shanghai, so I didn't have the radio on. cry

It sounded like he was appologizing, and the caller that I heard seemed to accept it, etc. I'm not sure if he was 501st or not.

Brian then made a comment that Eubanks sounded sincere, and it wasn't comparable to the Michael Richards comment, etc.

Speaking as both a SW fan, AND an SCA member, completely and totally agreed. :-)

Ok, A, why does it look like in the post above me that I was a member Society for Creative Anachronism? I don't remember being in that club. VK2, you do enjoy that quote feature don't you.

B. Soon the 501st/Heros/Band photo will be available to all. So says the merchandizing officer of the 501st Scott Will.

C. The caller to Mark and Brian was 501st SoCal. I won't post his name here but some of you may know him and he was in the parade. He called in made his point but was later called back when Mr. Eubanks was also on air and they discussed the issues. I think the stand is now to leave it as is as any more press would look as if we can't accept an apology and move on. If LFL would like to go further it is up to them.

Yay for the pic being available! And yeah, I was confused at first by the quote that made you look SCA too!

Finally, yeah, I think that was it -- Eubanks made as public a statement as he is going to (although I didn't hear it) and now we must be gracious or look like the dweebs he probably deeply believes we are. Well, sometimes it's better to just move on, isn't it. We won't change anyone's mind by continuing to be upset -- we'd just look petty. Let's just go ahead and be the cool Star Wars fan we know we are! dancing

I just came home from my friends house who recorded the Discovery HD version of the Rose Parade. It's the same as KTLA's telecast, but in HD. He has a huge plasma TV and you can actually see me! I'm on for like 5 seconds! I got happy.

What are you doing up this late JB?

KLOS does a replay of the prior day's highlights of the Mark & Brian show each weekday from 5am-6am. I'll be sure to listen on Monday and see if the interview is a part of it.

I'm not really sure if that made sense or not! thinking

I think we are all giving way too much credit to a man who became famous hosting one of the lamest and idiotic game shows ever created, namely, The Newlywed Game. And let's not forget the mentality of the show's creater, Chuck Barris, who later went on to host the Gong Show, that bastian of intellectual and cultured humor, and then decided that he was a secret double agent for the KGB all his life.

We are giving this aging poor excuse for a celebrity whose 15 minutes was up decades ago way too much credit. Frankly I couldn't care less what this man said or what his opinions on any topic were.

His words only have meaning if we, the proud and dedicated Star Wars fans, give them weight. And in the words of Queen Amidala herself, "That is something I can not do."
