"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.

I think "Weird Al" Yankovic's song "I Lost on Jeopardy" helped, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvUZijEuNDQ

"Bohemian Rhapsody" for the ADD crowd.

It was interesting to see the various creative vines.

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.

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.

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.

I do not feel guilty liking "Weird Al" Yankovic or the Arrogant Worms (or other comedy music artists), but I do have one artist that is kind of a guilty pleasure: John Denver.

Most people I know do not like John Denver, but his music (particularly "Country Roads") brings back fond memories from childhood.

While I may not want to do this (either pack for someone or pay someone to pack for me--well, my kid), I see no problem with it.

The parents can afford it and someone makes money--where is the down side?

Heck, it looks like Ms. Reich will make at least $10,000.00 this camping season; not bad for part-time work.

13. Spike Jones and his City Slickers did a song about him, "Wyatt Earp Makes Me Burp"

I use "FBI Van 123"--I am sure it drives my paranoid neighbors crazy.

Without getting the whole story on the clamping, my assumption is that cars get clamped there for the same reason as, say, in Chicago: the car owner has too many unpaid parking tickets or other monies owed the city. If that is the case, the car owner has to pay up to get their car back (that is, have the clamp removed).

This means that Wheel Clamp Man is aiding and abetting scofflaws; isn't that illegal? Also, he is destroying property as he is destroying the clamp--another illegal activity.
