MAN! That was too funny. I'll have to forward that one to my nephew. He's a HUGE fan of the big guy. He has two budgies...one is named Darth, the other Vader, and he's been donning the cape and the mask of DV the past four Hallowe'ens running.

Wonder what he's doing for this year...

I can relate, I called my boxer Lucas after the man himself.
Hilarious tube man! I forwarded it to my other half who has been obsessed since childhood. I am a relatively new convert.

funny but true: In our national census form we put down Jedi as our religion!

LOL! Jedi as a religion--that's a good one. And my mom thought I was nuts for calling my border collie Elvis (and yes, it's after the man himself). However, in retrospect, I should have called my dog Tommy Lee as he's a little too amourous. I commented to my husband that it wouldn't surprise me to see in a few years moose and bear wandering out from the bush with border collie ears and colouring!

Otherwise, excellent information. Thanks Nat, for posting.

Minor detail. Sadly though people won't use this valuable information and we'll still see poor Nato cutting and pasting this link throughout countless threads.

First rule should be there are no rules.

well, it should be that rules are made to be broken, but not until you've learned the rules and how to apply them correctly first.

Of course there are rules. Limitations inspire creativity. Not to mention the fact that, as gwells stated, ya gotta learn the rules before you break 'em.
