jar jar har har

The other day I was watching my friend's kids – two boys, one 8 the other 5…and I had so much fun!  It had been a month since I had watched them because they’ve been on vacation for most of August.  As soon as I walked into the house I noticed the gigantic, completely-made-of-Lego-with-moving-parts DEATH STAR!  It even had an elevator!  We then played boats in the little pool, created an aquatic environment in order to house various toys (including Dory from Finding Nemo), built houses of cards, played the Pyramid of Lego game, whined about wanting to play Indiana Jones on the Wii and finally played Star Wars: The Complete Saga – a Lego video game.  The only negative was seeing that moron Jar Jar Binks in the game.  There was a scene where Jar Jar was about to get run over in spectacular fashion by a death star tank but then one of the boys jumped in and saved him.  And it got me thinking “Could Jar Jar actually be tolerable in other languages"?  After taking a poll, I came to this conclusion: no, Jar Jar always induces homicidal feelings and yes, kids are kind of stupid.

On the bright side the Lego version of the Death Star is good for hours of fun.


Update: upon re-seeing this post a week later I realize that the above pic.....sucks ass.


let's see if this is any better:


no...you know, there are no pictures that would render it justice.  you just gotta play with one.
