date Posted: Jan 21, 2007 12:22 PM Hilarious. As for #9 I have attempted to move a few objects. A few more years of practice and I think I can get it.

#9 You've attempted to move the salt shaker through the power of the Force
I came so close last time. One more try...

#2 When you hear the phrase "indigenous people group" your mind immediately turns to Ewoks
Tusken Raiders, actually.

Here's my idea:
When someone asks "How did you do that?" (It doesn't matter what it was you did) you reply "The force is my ally."

Good blog.

date Posted: Jan 21, 2007 2:19 PM I definitly plead guilty to #9, and so I was thinking I was doing good until I reached #1--got me! Fun blog!

date Posted: Jan 21, 2007 5:38 PM #4 You complain that iPods are "nothing compared to R2-D2!" Well, this it true. I mean iPods are cool, but can they stop a trash compactor or change the direction of an elevator? LOL Awesome blog buddy! Almost as much fun as the Brady Bunch one, and you know how much fun I had there! LOL I may have to come back here tonight!

	JediMelindaWolf Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.
date Posted: Jan 21, 2007 8:44 PM Loved them all, fan4yrs. And I can honestly say I'm guilty of all 10! MTFBWY

date Posted: Jan 22, 2007 7:06 AM Good ones! When I was a Youngling myself, I used to try desperately for HOURS trying to get things to move by virtue of the Force....now I wish I could influence my Padawans to clean their room...waves hand "You are disgusted by your room. You want to organize your toys...." So far it hasn't worked, though....!

Guilty of the following:
#9 You've attempted to move the salt shaker through the power of the Force

doesn't hurt to try does it?

#1 You say "What do you mean?! It's impossible to take "Star Wars" too seriously!"

but there's also much to laugh about!
2 of my best friends also like SW, one a little more than the other and we(the one who likes it a little more and me

) are always teasing her, when we're having lightsaberfights with our invisible lightsabers, and she jump in, excited

, we both stop, sigh and explain to her that she just doesn't have the force... then she looks very dissapointed and sooooo sad, like a puppy(she's very good at that

) for like, 2 seconds, and then we crack up!

date Posted: Jan 22, 2007 9:46 AM #12 You approach your (SW)friends with: "hello my master", which to they respond: "yes my young padawan?"

#7 When people complain about big government you interject: "But how will the Emperor maintain control without the beacuracy?!"

Bad news, nowadays people will not see this as a Star Wars thing. People are saying it about G.W. Bush, through Bill Clinton, down to Lyndon B Johnson, and add FDR.
And I would not be surprised if many in The E.U countries would say that about the E.U
Or many critics of the U.N.
Sorry, but I feel a disturbance in The Force, and I find my lack of faith disturbing. Which may explain that choking feeling I have now.

date Posted: Jan 23, 2007 7:36 PM For #8, I prefer nerf #9, It's just cause I wasn't concentrating right, I'll get it next time.

date Posted: Jan 24, 2007 8:19 AM #13: You wave your hand as you are walking toward an automatic door. When it opens you turn, smile and wink at the person closest to you, whether you know them or not. Aha, when the small store I worked at over the past year got automatic doors in the summer, I couldn't of been more excited!

Try using the Force on your pet Cat or Dog Via mind control, I used to do that with my cat Mitsy, with just sending a mind thought to her, BRING THE MOUSE PLEASE. only line needed and it worked!

Try waving the hand behind someone and fell the Force in a mind blast to them saying: MOVE ASIDE PLEASE 9 times out of 10 it will work as long as they don't know your doing it to them!

Now and then I can't resist doing that

Rememeber to use only short messages to your pet or it may get confused and stick its tale up at you as it walks off

date Posted: Jan 24, 2007 3:59 PM I'm definetly guilty of all but 8, 6, and 3. In response to #9: one time i tried to call for the remote with the force.... and it fell off the table!!!! great blog btw and mtfbwy!

date Posted: Jan 25, 2007 11:26 AM Good stuff right there #5 When you board a plane you check to see if the co-pilot is a Wookiee But just think about how much that would help with security and passengers who can't keep their kids under control.
