Play nice!
Is that Darth Vato, homeboy of the Imperial Barrio?
Cool.the posts now have numbers.
That would be him. Money box and all. I mean, we couldn’t expect to gaze upon his coolness for free or anything!
S&DM, and the comments & quotes are back. The gravatars are still giving me a fit in IE, but I’ll figure it out eventually
song and dance
have you been following the heads on a stick tax revolt in california?
Darth Vader vents himself in the Seven Sith Year Itch.
Arwyn
He has a money box? I guess I was always looking at his helmet.
*puts tongue in cheek*
Arwyn
I saw that. It’s nice to see the comment register on the sidebar restored.
Annie,
I left CA 3 years ago and haven’t followed what is going on there since I left.
So what is up with that?
This guy’s schtick didn’t work out as well.
Arwyn
Dreadlocks on brick is always a give.
What?
He isn’t in drag, smoking a joint, Car-B-Qued, or beheaded by mohammedans?
n2l
At least connectcar.nl has a drunk to promote itself.

Check out this video at you tube.
15,000 people turned out Saturday.
Anne Frank house
I cried all the way through it.
Arwyn
aladamit, you are quicker on the draw for a good pic.
I was looking, but had none ready.
Annie, that is fantastic!
Heads on a stick! lol
16. Song, (full disclosure) they’re all from my trip to Amsterdam, so I was already in the folder.
Good on you.
I’ve been to Arizona.
Have y’all seen this?
T Mobile dance.
Just ribbing. I’ve been to Utah and Nevada too.
20. n2l
That is pretty dang cool! lol!
Hey, I have been to Amsterdam, of course it was before Darth Vader.
Our crazy cab driver would drive on the sidewalk to get around traffic, that kinda freaked my mom and dad out.
I have no caption for that.
Chen
Come on. Marilyn Vader.
Bar, that tripped me out too. Bikes have the right of way. Then pedestrians, then cars.
Were you in one of the mini cab thingies? lol
Some of the cars looked like toys.
Arwyn, I got a kick out of it, too.
As for places, I’ve been everywhere…in Texas.
Whatever the picture or video is, it’s not showing up for me. It is, but I mean, it’s distorted to the point that I can’t make out what it is; the image is very, very narrow. (I am using Fire Fox, if that matters.)
I like the numbers next to the posts.
n2l, I was born in Texas, does that count for anything?!
# 26. Arwyn
It was a pretty small car, but this was back in 1976ish.
They still drive on the sidewalk?
Arwyn,
It counts.
You want a song for that?
Bar. Yes.
Especially the mini-dump truck clean up crews. They looked like little Tonka trucks!
n2l sure! I’m always up for a song!
(hhmm… it’s n2l… i’m sure i can trust him…
)
P.S. I did the “view image” thing when I right clicked on the image, and from that, I could see that it’s a statue of Darth Vader.
Check out Pink ‘Hello Kitty’ Darth Vader
Or try going to Google Images and doing a search for “Pink Darth Vader,” and you can find that same image.

I’m on firefox and it’s loading fine. I’m not sure how to fix it if I can’t replicate it. I’m not a tek jeenyus like other bloggers.
Does the pics and vids show skewed on other threads or just this one?
well there must have been a death star canteen, ya think?

CloudyDay, he’s a street performer. Batman was there too
It ain’t so bad.
Come Back To Texas.
Savage! He’s hilarious
There must have been!
Arwyn, like he said, he didn’t realize the food is hot!
n2l!
I’ll never doubt you again
Although I didn’t. Just kinna. Not really.
Arwyn,
It’s okay, I still might pull out a boobytrap, though…one day.
For now, I need to shut’er down. Got an early wake up.
Hello Kitty Darth Vadar *aaahhwwwww*
n2l, I’d expect nothing less! Have a good one!
Arwyn
Are the canals still green and most of the really old building still leaning badly?
Did you go to the Tivoli amusement park in Copenhagen?
We went to a theater in Copenhagen and saw the American movie Car Wash, it was in English with Dutch subtitles, funny stuff.
How a good night n2l and a great week this week.
#35 Arwyn
The photos and videos in other threads are showing up okay for me.
I took a screen shot of what this blog entry looks like so you can see, too. It’s hosted on Image Shack here.
(BTW, can users like me use the “img” tag in our posts, will they show up, or are they prohibited?)
#37 Arwyn-
Ah okay, guy in costume, not a statue.
When I clicked on the Bat Man link you gave me, I got a page that says,
“This Account Has Exceeded Its CPU Quota

Hello Kitty Vader is not quite as menacing as regular Darth, is he, LOL?
Arwyn
Heads on a stick, heads on a stick.
Here is the radio show link in case you want to stay up on it.

I was missing in action for awhile. I had to eat my bar b q.
Thanks, Annie. I added it to the post.
Cloudy, I think we all got the “exceeded it’s cpu quota” thingie for a minute. Hopefully that was just because I uploaded a bunch of those pictures and not something weird. I know Savage has plenty in his quota, lol.
Arwyn, you were asking me in another thread if I could try re-freshing my browser to see if that would work.
I tried that, and I tried clearing my cache and then reloading, and the Darth Vader image is still not showing up correctly.
Maybe the “width” attribute is just typed in wrong?
Say, if the image is supposed to be 425 pixels wide, maybe you accidentally typed in “25″ or something?
Or, if it’s in a “div” tag, maybe the wrong width was given to the “div” tag?
Cloudy, I was asking to refresh after I had deactivated a new picture plugin that was added last night.
If it’s still happening, it isn’t that.
But in my firefox it looks fine. And the image is width=”527″ height=”395″ with no div tags at all. Just p align center.
It’s got me perplexed I tells ya. lol
But it’s almost 1 am, I might be looking right over something.
15- Arwyn,
Is Anne Frank’s house really barricaded with cement barriers? If so, that is SO SAD! That’s what it looked like from your photo.
@Former
That is just part of the outside wall. I believe it can be raised and offer a view inside when needed.
Darth has a paunch! Nahhhh! It couldn’t be!
53. Former LGF’er
What they call the “Anne Frank house” was actually the building where her father’s business was located. They hid out in a secret annex in the building that was accessible by a hidden door behind a bookcase.
All of the rooms had quotes from Anne’s diary painted on the walls.
Like one was something to the effect of “I read in the papers today that they are gassing the Jews”. I can’t remember the quote exactly and they wouldn’t allow cameras in, but reading the words in the place they were written was wonderfully terrible (if that makes any sense).
They had even preserved a wall where Anne had pasted pictures out of magazines to make the view beautiful. It was heart wrenching.
