Anybody...?

real gangsters cant run fast, cause real gangsters dont have to
:D

[XJ Dreamin']

That's what I figured. He doesn't run because he is the POWER. He doesn't need to run.

The 11yo (older brother) figured it was because he's mostly robot. I figure with the force, that doesn't really matter.

I think we're all in agreement, here.

[WaXJ_Skier]

I think we're all in agreement, here.

and the reason why he is the baddest MoFo is because he eats his veggies

[srimes]

I guess I read it differently from y'all. My answer was, "because he doesn't want to cross Hillary."

These races are starting too early.

Tho shalt not fawking bring politics into a Stars Wars based discussion unless it is Star Wars politics. Leave now before somebody force kicks your @$$.

That's damn funny right there. Damn funny.


My thought was....

What happened if he tripped? The entire federation would lose respect for him because every time he would choke someone with the Force they would giggle remembering how he fell on his helmet rounding the corner to the bathroom and needed three clones and a wookie to get him back on his feet. It's hard to crush humanity when they giggle behind your back.

Asthma

[slider]

because the segway (or however you spell it) under the long black cape only has one speed.

Because he's dead. Didn't the kid pay attention to the series? Vader = dead

[RTicUL8]

Darth Vader is like Jesus.

Both were confident
Both were leaders
The destiny of both were foretold by prophecy
Neither ran

Asthma

That is some funny shiz there....as and far as a wookie helping him up, I thought that Chewbacca (if that is the wookie was being refered to) was not on the same side? Other then that, what does he have to run from..he is one bad MOFO!:skull2:

Hot damn, I'm on a roll!


This one is serious, though. That was a real question. He's got others, but I'm saving them for when the Darth Vader issue cools down.

Anybody else got a 6yo question, feel free to join in. I'd love to give it a shot.

Playing Battlefront the boys love to get me in a force choke. They think that's the funniest thing in the world to force choke their dad. Sad part is, they're better than I am so I end getting choked alot.

The 6yo don't know nothin' 'bout politics, so lets stay clear of that.

If it hadn't been a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, Jesus would have force kicked Vader's a$$ into the next time zone.

He's not dead. He 'joined the force'.

[Sniggs]

Is a female Wookie called a Coochie?

sig'd :D i spit my beer all over thanks man hahaha :D

[XJ Dreamin']

Is a female Wookie called a Coochie?

I've seen some Coochie that was pretty Wookie. I don't know if that has anything to do with a 6yo's questions, though.

Here's another: Driving them to their summer daycare at the church this morning, listening to '60s oldies on AM and they play a live version of "My Ding-a-ling." The 11yo said, "That's a dumb song." The 6yo asked, "My what? What are they saying?" I bailed on that one: "It's just a silly song." It was pretty funny, though, listening to the two of them trying to sing along.

[karstic]

I've seen some Coochie that was pretty Wookie.

Yeah, but only in the NWC

[XJ Dreamin']

Yeah, but only in the NWC

I don't know about that. I was in Columbia, MO at the time. Don't get me wrong. A little Wookie Cooch don't bother me. We had a gooood time.

[bjoehandley]

Choocie.........................roflmfao

[ECKSJAY]

Yeah, but only in the NWC

Ahh, so you've been here.

[XJ Dreamin']

Still driving around town. He's got the sun in his eyes and he's too short for the visor. His question: "Why does the sun keep following me?" Do you give the long answer or make up a short one?

[98XJSport]

I would give the long answer... so he would learn to not ask me questions unless he really wanted to know the answer...

[XJ Dreamin']

Yeah, I love giving the long answer. It helps pass the time. On this one, however, I told him to ask me when we could sit down with some paper so I could sketch out the perspective. Trouble is, he never thinks of it until the sun is back in his eyes, again.

[98XJSport]

I do the same thing to my girlfriend, especially when she asks out of the blue questions that I know she doesn't expect me to answer. Even better when it's a question that most people wouldn't know the answer to, I either know it or am really good at making up a logical, believable BS answer.

I got applause from co-workers once for answering a guestion with, "No."
"Yea, short answer! Woo-hoo!"
I was going to give them the long answer, but I was in a bad mood at the time. The applause realy helped cheer me up :banghead:

The 11yo and I got into an interesting discussion the other day about Star Wars blasters. I was saying that the blasters can't be lasers. At the distance of personal combat, a laser beam would be either on or off. You would not see it travel from blaster to target - the beam would simply be there or it wouldn't. I proposed that the blaster could be forming, and then projecting something like ball lightning. That is, some type of self-contained plazma that would tranfer it's energy into the target.

That doen't explain light sabres, though.

[98XJSport]

Light sabres are lasers, but due to energy standards in the far past of the future, they couldn't make good batteries. So they were given the option of having a powerful long range laser that wouldn't last long, or a short laser that would last longer. Therefore they made batteries that have very high voltage, but low low current. That's also why you can see them "extend", the current is so low its actually moving at less than the speed of light. Using p=ie and plugging in enough wattage to cause a severe sunburn, you will get the current and voltages required to accomplish this. The severe sunburn is amplified through colored lenses. This also lets you customize your light sabre based on religion, race, or tendency towards evil.

Its usually at this point she hits me or just walks away...

My wife would never ask a Star Wars question. She's safe there. She's usually asking why some friend or co-worker said what she/he said or did what she/he did. I launch into a full blown psycho-analysis of the individual, followed by a complete chronologic analysis of events related to the statement/action, and finish with some version of, "Nearly everyone we know is morbidly stupid, and nothing they say or do makes any sense whatsoever." Oddly, this has no effect to inhibit her asking me about this stuff, which is a shame because I really and truely could not care any less about what most of these people say or do.

[98XJSport]

I would never get a star wars question, Ive honestly never seen all of the movies. But it would be that kind of question, or why did so and so do that in any movie. But she's learned, when she is paying attention, to follow it up with a quick I dont want to know...

I also have a co-worker that will ask stupid questions, thats more fun because even after 3 years, he still often takes me seriously...

[BRIANHO13]

you two should get a room.

There was a great show on the history channel about the tech of star wars, and the best they could figure the blasters shot charged plasma. and something similar with the light sabres, Because if the sabres were lasers that would make for one Loooong light sabre with nothing to stop the beam.

Not just one question but...
My 6 yr old son asked if I like to golf? I said "Yes". His responce was "why dont you do it more often". My responce "I dont have time to go as much as I would like" . He said, "well Grandpa golfs almost every day." I told him "Grandpa is retired." He asked "He's retired of what?"

My wife and I already have a room. Thanks.

Padame likes her hair pulled from behind, thats why.

Not quite the answer for a 6 yr old though...
