I'm filling out a job application for the first time and I have a couple of questions…?
It’s asking for my work history and I’ve never worked anywhere, should I leave that area blank?

It’s also asking "Where did you hear of this oppurtunity?" and my "hours of availability".
I didn’t really "hear" that I could work at Tim Horton’s (The job I’m applying for). I just KNOW that’s a place I could work at.
And honestly, I’m available at ALL hours of the day since I’m online schooled and I only do work for about 30 minutes a day. So what should I put for that space?


Leave work history blank. Where did you hear about this job put walk in. Just be honest. They’ll know it’s your first job by talking to you. Make sure to proof read everything use your best spelling. Wear your Sunday best so to speak. Remember your selling yourself.

Yeah just try to fill it out as honestly as possible. Say "no work history" or leave it blank. Say something like "you have shopped at tim horton’s before, like the products, and wanted to apply" or something to that effect. You are available all hours any day.

The work history section - you can write in "no experience" or "first time applicant"
Where did you hear about opening - job searching
hours available - if there are specific boxes to check for the days/hours, then check them off; if no boxes, write in "available without any restrictions"

I am presuming this is an online application, as a written app should always be filled out at the place of employment, and never be taken home to be filled out and returned later….very unprofessional to do that :]

Start Of My First Chapter, Opinions Greatly Appreciated?
This is just a little something I’m writing for fun on Worthy of Publishing. Since I love writing for the readers enjoyment, I would really appreciate your feedback on the start of my first chapter;

When a rush of people entered the Italian restaurant, ‘Delizioso’, they took their seats and waited impatiently to be served, and I had to be at their every beck and call. I loathed all of them.
After I approached a well groomed couple, I came to the realization that my designated serving area was completely full, with the exception of a table.
Oh, great.
I drifted expertly around each table, making sure I didn’t hit a patron along the way. This was going to be a long shift.
Once every table had been taken care of, I slumped on the hostesses? desk.
Lydia’s eyes were full of curiosity. "So, how’s the old girl doing tonight?"
Although I was only nineteen, Lydia liked to make fun of how unfit I was. "Not too good. Hear I’ve only got a week left."
Lydia shook her head and a broad smile flashed across her face. She twirled a strand of her fake blond hair around her finger. Lydia was gorgeous. Since she had gone from a brunette, her hair was currently a cross between yellow and orange. Freckles were dotted across her petite nose and complemented her chocolate brown eyes. Lydia had the kind of looks that made people famous; the kind of looks which made me wonder why she still worked in a dump like Delizioso?s.
Well, Delizioso isn’t exactly a dump, it’s actually quite nice. Lydia’s desk and the dining area were a short distance away, and the elegant double doors separated us from the night. The wall at the back of the room was one giant window, which looked stunning on a nice day. It’s not Delizioso as a place, it’s more the food we serve, just simple Italian food that you could get at your local pizza shop.
A group of four men in my area signaled me, I exhaled loudly.
My pen and paper were at the ready when I reached them.
My smile felt and, most likely, looked reluctant. "Hi there, what can I do for you gentlemen tonight?"
"Hey there sweet cheeks." The man that was closest to me said, and something twinkled in his crows feet surrounded eyes. It was desire. "I’ll get a beer and a medium Hawaiian Pizza."
"Any brand of alcohol in particular?"
"Surprise me." His crooked teeth were covered in brown stains.
"What about your friends?"
After I jotted down their orders, I spun on my heel getting ready to hurry to the kitchen, but something stopped me. A short flash of pain shot through my thigh as someone firmly pinched me on the bum.
"Ey’ sexy, wanna hear a joke?" I turned back to find the man that had called me the disgusting name puckering his lips at me.
I transformed my glare into a smile and replied cheerfully, "No thanks. You’re a joke all on your own."
Pleased with myself, I strolled to the kitchen and handed them the order.
By then, most of the people in my area had vacated their seats, so I was free for a few minutes.
I reclaimed my position next to Lydia. "Make that a week." I said playfully.
She snorted.
As a couple entered the restaurants doors, Lydia was making sure the stack of call cards were arranged neatly and plastered a smile on her face. When they reached her, I had to do everything to keep myself from gaping.
A young woman, shorter than my 5?1?, sauntered up to the desk. Under her foot-length peach colored dress, her hips swayed with an elegance that I could never achieve.
She couldn?t have been more than sixteen years old but the girl?s shoulder-blade length hair was naturally white, with thin gray streaks throughout it.
The odd thing about the girl wasn?t just her hair color, it was that her plump lips were lilac and her skin was literally ashen. She looked like a walking corpse. Has to be make-up, I thought. She was both beautiful and horrifying.
Her arm was gripping firmly to a male, who was equally as stunning.
It seemed like he went on forever next to the short girl, and I assumed he was around my age.
The boy?s dark brown hair sat just above his shoulders and clung tightly to his neck, his fringe swept to the side. His coffee colored eyes looked spectacular above his slightly wide nose. The boy?s thin lips had piercings in both corners of his mouth; I wasn?t familiar with the term, but I had heard Lydia call them snakebites.

What did you think? Please be honest. Also, let me know if you find any mistakes, (: thanks in advance.

~Nicole.xx


honestly, i got bored when i started reading so many details about Lydia the restaurant, and decided to stop reading. I don’t know how the rest of the story goes and probably would never find out if i had picked this up in a library or bookstore. Intro’s are supposed to get the reader’s attention quickly, and not make them bored. Work on into. Sorry for being harsh, but i have to be honest. If u want me to be fake i will say i read the whole thing (start to finish) and understood everything and liked it

Ari Moss | Sep 07, 2009


I really like it, I got a bit confused when she said "make that a week", was she referring to "Hear I’ve only got a week left"? it didn’t seem quite right, perhaps if she had of said at first "heard ive only got a couple of weeks left" I think it would make more sense. i think in the first line you could take out the name of the restaurant, it makes the sentence a little jerky. aside from that i think it is really cool. just as long as it doesnt turn into a twilight type thing.
jesus luvs u, but im his favorit | Sep 07, 2009


thats really really good !! ^_^ keep it up!!! u have a real flare
tokiohotelfurimmer | Sep 07, 2009


I love your descriptions. They made me imagine. The last paragraph was great and was full of excellent description. Although i did enjoy all the description, i think you should consider toning it down a little and including most of the description in the action. For example (this is not at all like your story but it is an example) : The tall boy stretched his long, muscular arms out and yawned. He fell out of the tree and ended up in a pile on the ground, his ginger hair across his face and his jeans ripped.

I really like the way your charcaters speak. I think it is good how you’ve really made them different whereas some authors make the characters all with the same kind of dialogue.

Hope this helps :) Gabrielle | Sep 07, 2009

Plot: Nicole broke up with Matt months ago and is now engaged to someone else. He’s very good-looking and has no trouble finding other lovers, but that doesn’t help because he’s still obsessed with wanting her back. Then he gets the inspiration that swearing off sex for Lent (all forms of sexual activity, even kissing or masturbation) will give him the perspective he needs. So of course a few days later he meets a woman and they fall in love. Now Matt sees his vow as a personal matter, and won’t even tell her about it, but his friends think otherwise, and now the complications begin…

Would these weights benefit me?
I’m a pretty skinny guy with little to no muscle. I have two 5lb weights I attached together for a 10lb, but it doesn’t feel like I’m getting anywhere. I want bigger arms, but can’t afford a gym. I saw these the other day and was wondering if they would help me out?

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Gold-s-Gym-40- lbs-Cement-Weight-Set/11089970

if so, what are good exercises I can do with them? I want overall bigger arms (upper, forearms, etc.)

I asked this last night but didn’t make it too clear that the weights can be changed out to range from 5lbs up to 30lbs (7.5lbx4), so I can start with 10-15 and work my way up.
with 10lbs, I start to feel the bur after the 16th time I lifted them. I can do 20, but not much higher than that
with 10lbs, I start to feel the burn after the 16th time I lifted them. I can do 20, but not much higher than that


10LB weights are enough
You just got to do alot of reps and work your way up
Gen | Feb 07, 2010


It sounds to me like you need to add a little weight. Immediately after your work out put 1 banana, 1 cup of frozen yogurt, 1 scoop of whey protein powder, 2 cups of milk, 2 raw eggs(or one jumbo egg), some honey, and 1/2 a cup of nonfat dry milk in a blender and put put it on milkshake or whatever you have for one minute. Also, you should run around outside or on a treadmill for 15 minutes before you work out. It helps. Yes, I believe that they will help. Also add some push-ups and pull-ups to your work out every now and then. Hope this helped. Try to add weight each week.
Dayton | Feb 07, 2010


Certainly, but then again I would recommend buying a second hand set of weights, it’s not like your muscles are going to know if you’re lifting old metal or new metal.

Some people at garage sales just want to get rid of them and will sell them for a great price.

Then again if you just want to get a good pair of weights nice and quickly there is nothing wrong with that.

Two 5lb weights sounds fine to me.

Dumbbell curls are a great easy to do exercise. If you can do more than 20 reps per set, you’re probably not using enough weight, if you can’t do more than 5-8 reps, you’re probably using too Much weight.

Good luck

The Unseen

Directors: Steinmann Danny

Actors: Furst Stephen,Lassick Sydney,Barr Douglas,Horror,Thriller,

Is this what Hindus believe? I just want to be clear?
Hindus believe in one God, Brahman who is a three-in-one God, and the originator of all things. Hindus believe God’s work is done and lesser gods must continue to create, maintain and destroy the world.

They see their worship of lesser gods as a means of worshipping the One God. Because this Eternal God cannot be seen the Hindus worship by using objects they can see. These objects others may call false gods, but to the Hindu they are symbols of the Unseen God.

The lesser gods are called Triumvirate gods because there are three of them. Brahma is the first god, whose job is to create. Vishnu is the second god and is of great importance in Indian Mythology. Shiva is the third god, the destroyer and re-creator. Shiva is also the source of good and evil. Some call them polytheists because of the triumvirate.


Hinduism is one of the oldest known organized religions?its sacred writings date as far back as 1400 to 1500 B.C. It is also one of the most diverse and complex, having millions of gods. Hindus have a wide variety of core beliefs and exist in many different sects. Although it is the third largest religion in the world, Hinduism exists primarily in India and Nepal.

The main texts of Hinduism are the Vedas (considered most important), Upanishadas, the Mahabharata, and the Ramayana. These writings contain hymns, incantations, philosophies, rituals, poems, and stories from which Hindus base their beliefs. Other texts used in Hinduism include the Brahmanas, the Sutras, and the Aranyakas.

Though Hinduism is often understood as being polytheistic, supposedly recognizing as many as 330 million gods, it also has one ?god? that is supreme?Brahma. Brahma is an entity believed to inhabit every portion of reality and existence throughout the entire universe. Brahma is both impersonal and unknowable and is often believed to exist in three separate forms: Brahma?Creator; Vishnu?Preserver; and Shiva?Destroyer. These ?facets? of Brahma are also known through the many other incarnations of each. It is difficult to summarize Hindu theology since the various Hindu schools contain elements of almost every theological system. Hinduism can be:

1) Monistic?Only one thing exists; Sankara’s school

2) Pantheistic?Only one divine thing exists so that God is identical to the world; Brahmanism

3) Panentheistic?The world is part of God; Ramanuja’s School

4) Theistic?Only one God, distinct from Creation; Bhakti Hinduism.

Observing other schools, Hinduism can also be atheistic, deistic, or even nihilistic. With such diversity included under the title ?Hindu,? one may wonder what makes them ?Hindu? in the first place? About the only real issue is whether or not a belief system recognizes the Vedas as sacred. If it does, then it is Hindu. If not, then it is not Hindu.

The Vedas are more than theology books. They contain a rich and colorful ?theo-mythology,? that is, a religious mythology which deliberately interweaves myth, theology, and history to achieve a story-form religious root. This ?theo-mythology? is so deeply rooted in India’s history and culture that to reject the Vedas is viewed as opposing India. Therefore, a belief system is rejected by Hinduism if it does not embrace Indian culture to some extent. If the system accepts Indian culture and its theo-mythical history, then it can be embraced as ?Hindu? even if its theology is theistic, nihilistic, or atheistic. This openness to contradiction can be a headache for Westerners who seek logical consistency and rational defensibility in their religious views. But, to be fair, Christians are no more logical when they claim belief in Yahweh yet live life as practical atheists, denying Christ with their lives. For the Hindu the conflict is genuine logical contradiction. For the Christian, the conflict is more likely simple hypocrisy.

Hinduism views mankind as divine. Because Brahma is everything, Hinduism asserts that everyone is divine. Atman, or self, is one with Brahman. All of reality outside of Brahman is considered mere illusion. The spiritual goal of a Hindu is to become one with Brahma, thus ceasing to exist in its illusory form of ?individual self.? This freedom is referred to as ?moksha.? Until moksha is achieved, a Hindu believes that he/she will be repeatedly reincarnated in order that he/she may work towards self-realization of the truth (the truth being that only Brahman exists, nothing else). How a person is reincarnated is determined by karma, which is a principle of cause and effect governed by nature’s balance. What one did in the past affects and corresponds with what happens in the future, past and future lives included.

Although this is just a brief synopsis, it is readily seen that Hinduism is in opposition to biblical Christianity on almost every count of its belief system. Christianity has one God who is both personal and knowable (Deuteronomy 6:5; 1 Corinthians 8:6); has one set of Scriptures; teaches that God created the earth and all who live upon it (Genesis 1:1; Hebrews 11:3); believes that man is created in God’s image and lives only once (Genesis 1:27; Hebrews 9:27-28); and teaches that salvation is through Jesus Christ alone (John 3:16; 6:44; 14:6; Acts 4:12). Hinduism as a religious system fails because it fails to recognize Jesus as the uniquely incarnated God-Man and Savior, the one solely sufficient source of salvation for humanity.

That’s pretty much it–polymorphic monotheism. All things are Brahman. Brahman is better understood by the forces of creation, maintaining, and destruction.
No Creampie without Jesus | Feb 04, 2010


they also like to burn widows
Irtaza | Feb 04, 2010


That is the belief of some Hindus, but not nearly all of them. "Hinduism" is in and of itself a Western convention. Westerners bundled up all the beleifs in India and tries to package it as a single religion, but that isn’t necessarily the opinion of the locals. There is a VAST variety of beliefs among "Hindus."

"Triumvirate" means a group of three. There are three gods that are often grouped together (Brahma, Shiva, Vishnu), but they are but a few of the many, many gods in Hinduism. HInuism actually recognizes many millions of of gods, because specific locations each have their own god. So just being a lesser god does not make you part of a triumvirate.

How do cellular respiration and breathing relate in reference to a basketball player taking a free throw?
Help! I don’t understand this at all. Here is the original statement. (it was too long for the actual question)

"Breathing and cellular respiration are closely related. Describe how they are related in reference to a basketball player taking a free throw."


Breathing is related to cellular respiration in that it provides a mechanism for gas exchange (intake of oxygen and expulsion of carbon dioxide). The intake of oxygen is required for the process of cellular respiration, where oxygen acts as a final electron acceptor in aerobic cell resp.

As to your basketball player, when he bends his legs to take his free throw and he moves his arms (any sort of muscle contraction) this requires ATP, which is in turn generated by cell respiration, which is driven by external respiration (breathing). Thus, without breathing, a basketball player could only generate ATP anaerobically through lactic acid fermentation which could throw off his/her aim. Or more to the point, breathing provides the oxygen that is required for the player to generate ATP through cell respiration in order to move his/her muscles and also to expell carbon dioxide so that it does not build up in the body and impede preformance.

Sorry about the vague answer, the question confuses me as to what they want with the basketball player thrown in there.

How do women justify the rampant sexism in the Bible?
Or for that matter, how does anyone justify a book that advocates senseless murder, slavery and the oppression of women?

"I desire, then, that in every place the men should pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or argument; also that the women should dress themselves modestly and decently in suitable clothing, not with their hair braided, or with gold, pearls, or expensive clothes, but with good works, as is proper for women who profess reverence for God. Let a woman learn in silence with full submission. I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she is to keep silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. Yet she will be saved through childbearing, provided they continue in faith and love and holiness, with modesty." [1 Timothy, chapter 2]

"When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves do. If she does not please her master, who designated her for himself, then he shall let her be redeemed; he shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt unfairly with her. If he designates her for his son, he shall deal with her as with a daughter. If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish the food, clothing, or marital rights of the first wife. And if he does not do these three things for her, she shall go out without debt, without payment of money." [Exodus, chapter 21]

I am eager to see your answers but I fear it will again be the same old "Ignore everything that is legitimately insane" song and dance.


The fact that anyone still uses the old "That was then" theory is beyond laughable.

Those that people are supposed to hold dear FELT that way and PRACTICED it. Equality and justice know NO timeframe.

Despicable.

One would take the book in context, understanding…

-The time when the books were written
-The region in which the books were written
-The audience in which the book was written
-The meaning behind the books

Once you take that into account, there are no issues.

dancrgrl45 | Jan 19, 2010


I had issues with some of it when I was younger. The older I get, the more I realize there is a sexism today that is much more perverse.

Also, I have a son. And I’ve worked with and around many men. The ones who do take teaching well from women are the exception, not the rule.

Also, in many professions today, there is an acceptable dress code for women and there are "no-nos." It is not sexist, it is because there is a time for everything and every time is not for sex.

When the bible was written, men were in charge. that does not mean that they were sexist, they just had a different social structure than we do. for example, if someone were to tell you that in the future, children of all ages had equal rights to adults, you would not understand how it could work.

I wonder the same thing. I also find it fascinating when religious peope say "times change, it was a different world." Yet still believe/practice old outdated biblical principles. Homosexuals are bad because the bible says so. The world was created in seven days because the bible says so. But slavery and oppression of women is wrong, because times have changed…. yes, I see the morality and logic in gay-bashing and creationism.

My bible says, "Servant" not slave. Many times people were endangered servants back then. They had debt and worked off their debt by working for others for a period of years. This is what this means.
Not slaves.

And what wrong with a women dressing modestly? I don’t see anything wrong with the rest of those passages.
Jesus regarded women in highly. It was women who first saw Jesus alive from the tomb.

You are referencing Jewish customs. They did reflect the view at the time… it was mainly to verify the faithfulness of the woman.
The men of that time did not want to raise another man`s child.
The only way to do that ,was to apply a very strict watch on a women`s activity. Her every move was suspect.
At one time women were very much in control, the main gods were female and women had power. That fell away, and women were reduced to slave status.

"third testicle" problem?
I’m not joking here, but I can feel a small sphere connected by a tissue to my right testicle. It’s on the front, and it feels almost the exact same as my others. It is about 4 or 5 milimeters wide, symmetrical, and the tissue connecting it is maybe a half-inch long. I’m quite concerned. If it’s of any counsel, I’m 15 years old. Please avoid saying "just go get it checked out," unless it has a high chance of cancer or anything else harmful. I am feeling no pain from it and can urinate and ejaculate (awkward) just fine. The only real phenomenon I can see is that they tend to hang almost all the time. I know this sounds like a troll, but I’m serious. Please help me out here.


um i think it could be testicle cancer,
so check up with your doc!!!

testicular self examination

if you do feel a really unfamiliar lump that was not there before, you know you should go to the doctor (i know you said not to say this, but the yahoo community cant make a positive diagnosis for you)

ask ur dad to take you to the doctor or an adult responsible brother

or if you have a school doctor, go ask him (thats what they are there for)

How to stop a network of bullies?
So I was talking t a friend of mine the other day about the war in Afghanistan and terrorism and he made the comparison of Islamic terrorists to a network of high school bullies that always pick on ginger kids.

She said that the problem with terrorism comes down to something like this:

Pretend you’re a red-haired 10th grader. At the end of every school day, you’re jumped on the way to the bus station and severely beaten - each time by a different bully. sometimes, you fall victim to practical jokes which either result in injury or embarrassment. The bullies know each other (or at least know OF each other), but you can’t tell a bully from a nice kid because they dress like everybody else. They come in all shapes and sizes and from all walks of life. The only difference is that this network of bullies hates kids with red hair. They have no formal uniform or insignia, but they hold the same opinion.

So what would you do first? Try and fight back. Lets say you manage to kick a bully in the groin. The next day five of them stop you on your way home and leave you with a broken arm and a black eye.

Since trying to take on one of them always results in five others attacking you, you turn to your parents. Your parents call the parents of the bullies who picked on you, but each parent claims their child’s innocence. This goes on and on, and in the meantime, you still keep getting your a$$ kicked for being a rat.

So you turn to the principle. The principle asks you for names, you give him a list. The principle summons 50 kids, including you, to his office, shuts the door and starts questioning everybody. They all claim innocence, they offer each other alibis and they pin you as a paranoid delusional. The principle sees your wounds and knows something is wrong, but he can’t just expel 50 kids like that. He tries to set an example by expelling 5, but their parents are so furious they end up indirectly forcing the principle to reconsider and within a week, they’re back in school.

And you still get whooped every day, only this time they are more discreet and cunning.

You have four options left.

One, abandon your humanity and pull a Columbine. Show up armed and take them all out. You KNOW this is not an option under any circumstance and you immediately brush it off.

Two, you try to confront them bravely. You win the occasional battle, but lose the war. The beatings keep getting harsher and harsher, you end up hospitalized and eventually fall into a coma from severe brain trauma caused by a few good kicks to the head.

Three, you try to offer them a truce. Your lunch money, your new iPod. But they just snicker and the beatings continue. You dye your hair, they just laugh and shave your head. You beg them to let you join their side, they tell you that hell will freeze over before a ginger kid gets accepted into their gang.

Four, you do nothing. The beatings continue until eventually, you die.

In other words, because terrorists blend in with civilians, because of their absolute lack of accountability, because they lie through their teeth without an ounce of shame, because of their faith and beliefs — they are invincible. They look out for each other. They support each others lies. They grow more cunning, discreet and malicious every time you dare to defend yourself. And since you can’t change the color of your hair - they will never stop.

How would YOU stop the bullying?


Bait. Find a weak looking red haired kid. Have him walk "alone" with snipers hidden nearby. When he gets beat up, kill the bullies.

Likewise, with terrorists. Sent a few decoy US soldiers (realistic looking robots maybe) strolling around Afghanistan. Monitor it from a distance. When the decoys get attacked, kill the bad guys.

Jury Duty Poll: What's a good way not to get picked for a jury?
I’m trying to get out of serving my civic duty.
lol Last time I was called for jury duty I told the defense attorney his client must be guilty or we wouldn’t be there. The police don’t just arrest people for no good reason jeesh.


Tell them that you are not prejudiced, that you hate everyone equally. And that it shouldn’t take getting arrested for someone to be eligible for the death penalty - mere suspicion should be enough.

This will probably get you oout of jury duty, but you also run a risk of becoming a suspect of something yourself! Lol : )

The real way to get out of it is to say that it will cause you economic hardship if you miss a day of pay at work.

Say you believe everyone who appears in court should get the death penalty (Good if this is a white collar crime, probably won’t work if it’s a gang banger). Failing that, pick your nose and answer the phone during selection.
Metal Nettle | Jan 29, 2010


You’ll have to respond the first day. But if you’re chosen for a panel, always remember that you may be prone to bias (not prejudice). e.g. criminal case; you could be bias towards cops and see them as sources of authority and put high value in their believability. No one would fault you if that is simply how you were raised.
Being prejudiced against them would not excuse you. I’ve seen people get stuck in cases that way. Reason: you’ll most likely see the evidence as more important than a cops testimony if you don’t like cops.

Robot Chicken: Star Wars

Star Wars
Robot Chicken: Star Wars (2007)

IMDB rating: 8.20

Plot: Robot Chicken’s finest half hour is more savvy than Spaceballs, more inside than Family Guy: Blue Harvest, and funnier, even, than The Star Wars Holiday Special. This Very Special Episode of Comedy Central’s stop-motion animated series parodies and goofs on all things Star Wars, from a disgruntled Empire janitor to an ad for Admiral Ackbar Cereal (”Your tongues can’t repel flavor of that magnitude”). Twenty three minutes goes by like the jump to hyperspace with such priceless bits as the collect phone call to Emperor Palpatine from Darth Vadar to inform him of the Death Star’s destruction, awkward morning-after pillow talk between Luke and Leia (”That was so wrong”), and George Bush’s newfound Jedi powers. Co-creators Seth Green and Matthew Senreich and company immerse viewers in the Robot Chicken universe with generous bonus features, including storyboarded deleted scenes (with self-deprecating commentary), behind the scenes footage of animation meetings, and alternate audio takes. Good sport George Lucas, who gave his blessing to this episode, boldly goes where William Shatner went before by voicing himself in a Star Wars convention sketch that concludes with a Lucas-worshiping geek telling his son that meeting his idol was the best day of his life. What about his son’s birth? “Not even close,” dad replies. But you don’t have to have that kind of devotion to Star Wars to be amused by this weather forecast for Cloud City: “Cloudy, followed by clouds.”

Robot Chicken Star Wars because they kept making jokes about star wars. Family Guy just tried to put themselves in the roles and I didn’t really laugh that much.
