Starbucks: The Literature Edition

I'll have to download it when I have time. I think "Clerks" is the only fan film I've watched. It's pretty humorous. I never knew who worked at the Death Star's convenience store.

 

Another funny one: "The Invisible Enemy." Ewoks, Predator-style.

Nancy Drew, eh? I read those when I was a kid. Pretty cool..

 

Yay, another Asimov lover. I love his stories and am building up a collection of all of his sf novels, starting with some originals that my dad had that he gave me.

 

DarthBoba: She was very smart. The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew books were very popular when I grew up.

Kadue: Yeah, one of my friends who wrote her Masters thesis on Shakespeare, corresponded with Asimov. She said that she could not believe the number of typos he made. Each letter was kind of messy.

I knew G. Harry Stine when I was just a kid. There's not much to say.

 

Good night, all. I need to attend to other things. Thanks for the mochas and the good conversation.

 

Yeah, I've read most of the Hardy Boys books myself. Very fun to read, although Chet could be downright annoying at times..

Night, Kathy.

 

Good night, Kathy!

 

Night Kathy. See ya soon I hope.

 

And a good bye to the rest of you too. I gotta go take care of some stuff before the day ends here. Cya.

 

Night, Kadue.

 

I hate to leave, but it's getting late. Good night Kadue and DarthBoba!

 

Night, HoW.

 

Goodnight all. Thanks especially to JediBoba and Kadue for the thoughts on a puzzler for me. That the dark side might be reaching for Jacen . . . that's an unsettling thought.

Might as well post my answers to the lit poll while I got the place to myself . . .
