    Heh, I've noticed some things that, due to Star Wars, I can no longer do normally. I'll list mine, and any more I can think of later. It's your job to post what YOU can no longer do normally thanks to Star Wars and make comments on other people's points. Let's begin...

    THINGS WE CAN NO LONGER DO NORMALLY THANKS TO STAR WARS:

    1.) We can no longer rake leaves, mop floors, or sweep porches without taking up the rod and spinning it over our head like Darth Maul.

    2.) We can no longer go down long curving exit or entrance on a highway without saying "I'm gonna cut across the axis and try and draw their fire."

    Anyone agree/have other things they can't do normally?

    umm, i think that actually started happening with donatello in the teenage mutant ninja turtles.
    [ i actually couldnt remember who had the staff, so i used a process of elimination. michaelangelo had the nunchucks, raphael had the sai, leonardo had the katanas...hence donatello had the staff. isnt that pathetic!!]

    i just cant give a person advice without throwing in a star wars quote. but that aint my fault, its all so good. it really does make good advice.
    'keep your mid on the here and now, where it belongs'
    its all good.

    I can't get near a road crossing when I'm driving without thinking "Luke in that speed will you be able to pull out in time".

    When my wife says she loves me, I am always tempted to just answer-"I know"...I don't do it though. I'm not a total idiot. :)

    I can't go by a trash can and not think it looks like R2-D2 :)

    The mop thing was influenced ( to me ) more by Toxic Avengers than Star Wars ;)

    cbjedi: Heh, I do that on occasion too. :D

    Oh, about the rods: It was definitely Maul, not Ninja Turtles or anything.

    Great stuff! Anyone got any more?

    Oh, heh, when I start to drive this summer, I'm sure there'll be a lot more quotes in the car like "I'm gonna cut across the axis and try to draw their fire" type of stuff.

    You can't go to the toilet without pretending that the stuff coming out of isn't a lightsaber blade. Or maybe that's just me.

    Whenever someone says "OK I'll try." or "I'll give it a try." I go into spasms trying to suppress the urge to say "Try not. DO! Or do not. There is no try."

    For mops and stuff, yes, I always pretend I'm Maul - but for rakes, I always think of the Treehouse of Horrors in which Groundkeeper Willie becomes like Freddy Kruger and slashes Bart with the rake!

    Oh, and I quote Yoda (esp. Do or... ) alot. And finish all cnversations with MTFBWY!

    thats all for now.

    Whenever I hear someone say, "We're leaving soon." I always finish, "Then you're as good as gone, aren't you?" No one gets it.

    If I hear something shocking, I can hear 3PO shreiking, "Oh, *MY*!" My is a two syllable word. My-hi! LOL!

    Oh yeah! The Force push thing. I always do that! And trying to use the Force to move stuff before I get up to get it. Sithspit, I'm lazy!
    Oh, and during the summer I taught myself how do flip a broomstick over my hand with a flick of the wrist without falling. So if i'm dueling someone (with broomsticks or lightsabres or course) I'll do this. My friends like it.

    Ah yes, I love the automatic doors. Sometimes I do a big push, sometimes a just a little hand flick. :D Very fun.

    Every time I drop something or trip or walk into something I can't NOT hear 3PO saying, "Pay attention to what you're doing!"

    I wave my hand in front of automatic doors, I end every conversation with MTFBWY and I call my dad 'Master'.
