On This Day: Friday May 26, 2006

This is the 146th day of the year, with 219 days remaining in 2006.

Fact of the Day: Star Wars

The first Star Wars movie was released in 1977. The studio was unhappy with Star Wars as a title after negative market testing. A competition was held during shooting for cast and crew to come up with a better one, but nothing stuck. The film was initially budgeted at $8 million but production problems forced the studio to contribute an additional $3 million. Within three weeks of the film's release, 20th Century Fox's stock price doubled to a record high. Its success spawned a host of other science fiction films using the same newly developed computer-based special-effects technologies that Star Wars had used so effectively. The famous opening title sequence of the Star Wars series was first used in a series called Phantom Creeps (1939). George Lucas is said to have based the character of Hans Solo (Harrison Ford) on his friend, director Francis Ford Coppola. In you’re your face, losers!

...Wow...Busy day...

Now as if that weren’t enough for some craziness with MM...

1. When you are sad - I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry b@st@rd who made you sad.

2. When you are blue - I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.

3. When you smile - I will know you finally got some.

4. When you are scared - I will rag on you about it every chance I get.

5. When you are worried - I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be and to quit whining.

6. When you are confused - I will use little words.

7.When you are sick - Stay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have.

8. When you fall - I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass.

This is my oath...I pledge it till the end. Why? You may ask, because you are my friend. Send this to 10 of your closest friends, then get depressed because you can only think of nine.

Remember: A good friend will help you move. A really good friend will help you move a body. Let me know if I ever need to bring a shovel. See if you get it back. If you do that’s a true friend
