 | Wookie Gets Arrested |
 My Saturday morning started off normal...Roll out of bed, grab some coffee, eat breakfast, turn the computer on and think about dragging my bootylicious butt to the gym.
I sit down at my computer to check my emails when all of a sudden I notice an article with a Wookie in it. At first, I can't believe it. Is this for real? By George, it is for real. Our favorite Wookie was arrested in Los Angeles, California, for battery. I've copied the news clip which was released by the Associated Press.
Maybe that tour guide should have kissed the Wookie instead of insulting him or offered him some cookies. 
Lesson learned? Never, EVER insult a 6'4 Wookie. You just might get a mouthful of Wookie hair.
Enjoy!!

Wookie Impersonator Arrested for Battery
By Associated Press
4 hours ago
LOS ANGELES - A man dressed as Chewbacca was arrested after police said the street performer head-butted a tour guide operator in front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.
Frederick Evan Young, 44, of Los Angeles was booked Thursday for investigation of misdemeanor battery, police Lt. Paul Vernon said.
Police said the 6-foot-4 street performer was seen arguing Thursday afternoon with a tour guide who had expressed concern the Star Wars wookie impersonator was "harassing and touching tourists" in violation of city law.
The city passed ordinances last year seeking to crack down on the colorful assortment of actors who perform outside the landmark theater. The move was prompted by complaints from tourists who said the actors were aggressive and abusive if they refused to pay for pictures.
Security guards escorted Young off theater property, but he decided to strike back and head-butted the tour guide, Vernon said.
"The lesson here is you can have the force with you," Vernon said. "You just can't use illegal force."
Young could not be reached for comment. His telephone number was unlisted.
The tour guide, Brian Sapir, told the Los Angeles Times that he asked the Chewbacca impersonator to stop harassing two young Japanese tourists when the actor exploded in anger.
"He said, 'Nobody tells this wookie what to do,'" Sapir said.

I see that you even took the care to reproduce the copyright notice. The system works!
Good spot though, Mina. But Isn't 6'4" a little short for a wookiee?

I'm a little surprised you had the time to read this article, with all the crap going on in your Bootylicious kingdom! I paid my respects, however, and I'm moving on. See you on the other side, Queena Mina.
But Isn't 6'4" a little short for a wookiee?
I was just thinking that maybe you should apply for the job! You're going to be in town in May anyway...
May. That reminds me. It should be WARM in LA that time of year, right Mina? There I go cracking myself up again...

Crappity...Busted again. Ha, and I work in the legal field. Guess, I'll go and delete that part.

Hey, 6'4 is BIG to me. That means me getting on a chair to talk with the Wookie.
I'm a little surprised you had the time to read this article, with all the crap going on in your Bootylicious kingdom!
Tell me about it...
May. That reminds me. It should be WARM in LA that time of year, right Mina?
For GW&J it will be VERY WARM down under...
I'll be back later kids...Gots to go and work out. Buh-bye.

"He said, 'Nobody tells this wookie what to do,'" Sapir said.
LOL - that's an hysterical story, thanks for sharing.
However, the article should have read: "He said "whoorhoowaro aowoananc aoacahc ohooooorahwo ohacraao aooo waoo" Sapir said."
Hey, I don't make this stuff up

Then you'd better get your chair ready for C IV if you plan on talking to me
For GW&J it will be VERY WARM down under...
A vague feeling of unease resides over me, and yet, in some inexplicable way, I remain oddly curious.

That's really, really funny! Thanks for putting a wide smile on my face!!
You're welcome. Story sure goes great with a cup of java.
The really sad part is, later they found out the guy was NOT wearing a costume, he just had a LOT of chest hair...
...due to all of those hormones he was taking...
If you're going to get arrested, that's a pretty good way to do it. Darn angry wookiee's!
Chewie going out in style...head buttin' the S.O.B.
LOL - that's an hysterical story, thanks for sharing.
Well, it certainly made me spill coffee on myself after reading it!!

Hey, I don't make this stuff up
I know you don't!! It's that expensive oil you soak in!!
In Los Angeles, your Wookiee bends you!
No kidding...Especially with his head!!
Then you'd better get your chair ready for C IV if you plan on talking to me
Oh dear... 
A vague feeling of unease resides over me, and yet, in some inexplicable way, I remain oddly curious
*tee hee*...Queenie has a surprise for you...
Wow!! I have no further comment.....
So, in other words it made you speechless...

It's not wise to upset a Wookie.
They are known to pull peoples arms out the socket when the loose.
Have a bootylicious weekend my Queen,
No kidding...And you have a great weekend too, my dear!!
Oh what a scandal...and we haven't even gotten there yet. LOL
Oh we got lots of scandals in L.A., plus lots of plastic too!!
I could just imagine being those tourist and having an encounter with Chewie.
The question to ask is...What the hell were they thinking upsetting a Wookie?
Wookiees getting arrested in L.A.???
That's not all we've got in L.A. You should see the Court Jesters!!

That was Chewie? I always just figured he was a particularly unkempt wino.
So when does Han rescue him from the slammer?

Well, it is Los Angeles. And considering that the Wookiee likely doesn't have any documentation, ol' Chewie will probably be deported to Mexico in the next month or so...
