No plans for a sequel? I remember reading at the time (about late 1976--definitely before "Star Wars" hit the theaters) that Lucas was planning 9 movies in the Star Wars saga. I was ticked when a few years later he reneged and cut the number of movies down--to either 3 or 6, I can't remember.
For those who grow up in Oregon, New Jersey, or Mexico, I can see why they do not know how to pump their own gas: both of those states and that country do not allow you to pump your own gas--an attendant does it.
"Fans felt certain a sequel to the original Star Wars trilogy..."
Am I one of the only old fans who remembers George Lucas' original promise of 9 movies and they would be released in the order 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, and 9? So we knew that movie 7 would be way in the future (well, in our time since the Star Wars events are in the past).
I was really upset when Mr. Lucas reneged on his promise and said only 6 movies were going to be made--and I was glad when he changed his tune and honored his original promise.
So I knew (since about late 1976 or in '77) that sequels were on their way.
What about LEGO? While the company has been around since the 1930s and the bricks have been around since the 1950s--and I imagine they have been popular ever since.
LEGO was my favorite toy--I still have mine from my childhood (and adulthood); I even have some my dad played with when he was a child.
On a related note: when I was growing up, my mom smoked Raleigh cigarettes--and these cigarettes had trading coupons in them (I think there were 2 coupons per pack of cigarettes and were tucked in between the pack of smokes and the plastic wrapper. I think a carton of cigarettes had extra coupons).
I do not remember what she got with them but I imagine it was similar products as the S&H stamp redeemers got. I just remember helping to count the coupons, putting rubber bands on them and her mailing them in.
I got cynicism early: I figured for a million coupons you could get an iron lung.
My name is Inigo Montoya...Sorry got distracted; besides, we are talking about his left hand.
Yes, it appears he has an extra finger--but remember this was a photo taken in the early days of photography. In those days, the shot took minutes--and the people being photographed had to stay perfectly still (this is why no one was smiling in early photos). My guess is that since this guy was about as old as dirt when this picture was taken (well, okay, he was just over 100 years old) his hand shook involuntarily--what we are seeing is how that shaking got imprinted on the photo.
I have copies of "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" by Leonard Nimoy and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamands" by William Shatner (plus a couple of other songs from both)--so I really hope Bones is the lead male singer of the band.
You linked to an article on "The Onion" as if it was legitimate? You do realize everything on The Onion is satirical, correct? See here: http://www.theonion.com/faq/#faq-editorial
Ok, so the first day shows 18 people dressed alike and the second one shows 15 guys dressed alike. More importantly: how long did it take Hans to find 18 ad 15 people, respectively, dressed alike? And how many people did he see in that time frame that were not dressed alike or like the ones he photographed?
My point is how many of us (perhaps percentage-wise) dress similarly? Is it very large? I doubt it.

It was interesting to see the various creative vines.

I still liked Mary Ann better, though.
We can call it the Keiko act.
