I downloaded part 1 of the Star Wars Christmas Special. I started watching it.

Oh. My. God.

What a tremendous piece of Bantha crap! I’m glad I only found Part 1. I remember watching it when I was a kid, but I must have blanked it out since I don’t remember ANY of it. Of course, watching Wookies chat for minutes on end is extremely fun… as long as you understand Wookie.

This is my first Geek Fu Action Grip. Love the podcast, I’m going to start working my way backwards through the episodes found in iTunes.

I seem to remember watching the Star Wars Christmas Special when it first aired and I seem to remember liking it. Yeah, that was me, the geek kid with no taste at all. Now that you brought my attention back to it I’ll probably have to see if it’s on a Torrent somewhere.

Regarding your Christmas dinner, a typical dish often found in Spain (where I’ve lived for the last 6 years) and even more in Mexico (where I was born) is “Bacalao Vizcaina” (I guess that translates as Codfish Vizcaina Style). I found the recipe in English on the web at http://www.netcooks.com/recipes/Seafood/Bacalao.a.la.Vizcaina.html. I really like it, hope you do too.

While Cafepress does have a larger selection and understand that less work for Mur is a good thing, and I wouldn’t even mind a slightly higher price, the real issue is that cafepress just doesn’t produce that good of a product, unless they’ve really changed in the last year.

Anyways, I don’t mind the lower selection if they’re better quality shirts, if quality is the same, go ahead and take the burden off of your back mur, I’ll pay the extra couple bucks, though you know your percentage of those couple bucks will be smaller.

I’ve always thought the Boba Fett cartoon was one of the best things about the Star Wars Holiday Special… then again, I’m a Ralph Bakshi fan… I love Heavy Metal and Wizards.

The most disturbing thing that Mur didn’t mention about the holiday special is the softcore porn scene dance scene. *shudder*

In case anyone was wondering, Bing Crosby (way back when) sung a song called Happy Holidays.

And Mur, it’s all your fault. I remember seeing the Holiday Special. Now I feel the need to track it down and torture my daughter with watching it with me.

When I read the title of this podcast in the font they used in iTunes, I SWEAR it said “Things That Should Be Furry”

Amazing! If you go to the jonessoda.com webpage, the 2005 Turkey and Gravy d-lite! soda is featured on the splash page. Wait about 10 seconds and you are redireced to the main page, complete with mini copies of the raw trukey from the splash page, floatting over the page.
