Well, I'm gonna do some more lightpillow combat form training with my brother, only with an emphasis on speed and physical strength and in the dark. It should be lots of fun. The lightpillows will hopefully prepare us to play with those cheap $6 lightsabers at Target. After practicing with those, um....., well I ultimately plan on buying those lightsabers on thinkgeek, but I think I'd be paranoid with playing with them, even though they're so dang durable. Does anyone else have lightsabers like those and tell me what they're like? $100 lightsabers are pretty pricey, and I would never be able to afford them for years. Maybe I'll get one after college and I'm in my career. Before that I think I'd rather spend my extra money on attacktix ;D. I have several of the $6 lightsabers. My brothers and I bought them for the fun of it, and they've proved quite durable. We've used them in lots of rough battles and they've been a lot of fun. However, we do end up replacing them after a year of extensive fighting. It really depends on how hard you and your brother will be fighting with them. We tap them together lightly, but fight really fast. It is fun! Maybe we'll post a video of us fighting with them sometime. ;D

Well, just as an update, my brother and I have continued with our "lightpillow" training. There is an empty are of dirt in my back yard that we train on. We've grabbed some old bricks and placed them throughout the dirt. The dirt is lava (like on Mustafar) and jumping from brick to brick is the only way to stay alive (one step in the lava, and you're dead). So to defeat my opponents, I have to either slash them with my lightpillow or push them in the lava without getting slashed into pieces/falling in myself. It's loads of fun, and I should probably take a picture of it sometime. My Mom wants to do some landscaping in that area in the future, so I'm trying to enjoy it as much as I can . ;D My brother and I are going to need to find a master in a year or two so we can take the trials and become Jedi Knights ;D.

It's great that you've joined our ranks at last. And about those Force FX; I have the Luke one and it's served me well so far. It's very durable and I especially like to swing it in the dark .

Oh Geek!? Microsoft Words Dictionary says Geek 1. somebody who is considered unattractive and socially awkward (insult) 2. a carnival performer whose act consists of outrageous feats such as biting the heads off live animals 3. somebody who enjoys or takes pride in using computers or other technology, often to what others consider an excessive degree 4. anyone who is looking at this site. I like #2. Being A Geek has always been good to me. I've had lots of fun, Met lots of interesting people, Went to some really cool parties, and I always had a girl friend. (all were pretty cute) Yes we are geeks in one way or another. Most people are. Sports Geeks, Beer geeks, Car geeks, Fitness geeks, Tech geeks, News geeks Opra geeks, Celebrity geeks. Other forms of geekery don't require you to play with toys but they are still geekery. For some reason they are more Socially expectable. BUt Why is knowing the stats of some guy in tight pant who uses steroids more "Cool" than knowing what issue Spider-man first fought Venom in or what power is on the bottom of S4 Bobba Fett. I don't know. But doing something that makes you happy and doesn't harm others is good Stuff.

I like the examples of geeks and agree we are all geeks of some sort. I even like saying it before someone else can, since then it shows that I am ok with my in dept knowledge of how many cards are in the Ravnica block of MTG. Then again I am a swimming nerd and could teach a rock how to float. Anyways who cares if you are a geek, nerd, dork, or fanatic. Realize it could be worst and we could all be "normal" and only like what the media feeds us. So go on and fight with your lightsabers, just don't break anything that is when reality kicks in.

I dunno - there can be non-geeks who do most of these. Ozzy Ozbourne, who chomped the head off of a live bat, could not in any way be considered a geek. Some people who really are adept at computer sciences are also not always geeks. Look at stockbrokers. Their entire day is toying with PCs and always having the hottest new setup. They ride in Rolls Royces, Astin Martins, and Hummers. Hardly geekdom.
So, I think being a true GEEK comes down to social ineptitude. If you're a popular 'jock' who happens to be quite computer savvy, or enjoy PC gaming greatly, I doubt that you'd ever be classified as a geek. The guy with the black-framed Drew Carey glasses, scotch taped in the middle, who threw up on his date at his first dance? Probably pretty geeky.

How do you think she got the color knocked out of her, made her hair grow exponentially (in actuality, her hair was normal but the excitement made it stand on end), made her gain 50 pounds in 20 minutes from the post-coitus Fridge Raid (due to the extreme exertion that made her emaciated and gaunt). The trans-sexual bit....that's a shame. Next time I'll go easier.....made the poor girl spontaneously transform into a man by the sheer power of the experience I've inflicted. ;D
The bad breath....well you can figure out how she got that....suffice to say that scorching of the taste buds by enormous friction of skin on latex couldn't be good.

superflytnt Are you suggesting That Your Testosterone Level is so High that Woman grow Man-part after you have had your way with them? I think Next time you should probably check them (take a look under the hood) before the act begins. If this Problem continues may want to stop drinking.

Entering the posterior and exiting the anterior is not technically transgendering, but Defender was the cameraman, so I am assuming that he simply misunderstood what was happening. Happens all the time - I call it the 'A-Pete-siotomy'. ;D ROFL...done..this is getting graphic.

I really should've put a disclaimer on that post. *No offense to any fat, hairy, albino, or trans-sexual individuals out there. However, all offense intended to those with halitosis. After all, they offend us every day, just by walking up and saying "Hello".* ;D
