Re: I'll have to check this out... first hand

The last NFL LIVE Thread you just had to rub it in that your show won an Emmy.... while "Futurama" and I were passed over again, again, and again for all those years--

Well, at The Golden Globes last Sunday night... I got some payback!

Amy got Best Actress in a TV Series, Comedy while I got... Best Actor in a NFL LIVE Thread, Comedy - Drama - Musical.

"I never would have thought that I'd win Best Actor for a comedy... as I am not a comedian at all. Now, Bender, he is a great comedian. He is the All Time World Champion of Comedy and NFL LIVE Threads!"

Yes, I am... drinking heavily again--

But when you are around Bendy... you have to!

The evening was not all fun and games as Jennifer got really, really pissed at me... when she thought I was about to goose Taylor on the Red Carpet--

And I slipped off to use the facilities... and how was I to know?

That the sewage pipes... were broken!

At the Sci-Fi after hours party... Bill congratulated me on my win.

And you'd think I'd know not to play poker with dogs... and Wookies--

However Chewy did confirm he and Carrie Fisher had a torrid love affair... on the set of the first Star Wars.

But it cooled off after Chewy caught Carrie... screwing around with C3P0 behind his back--

Chewy also said they cut from the first film several scenes showing how he and Han Solo first got together... on a time travel mission.

And Chewy also has some inside dope on the new Star Wars: Episode VII that they would have a major new... villain.

He showed me a still from the opening scene with Han... and Leia.

And, Chewy added, they are going in a different direction... with a rebooted follow on to the Boba Fett character--

A new, young rebellious Jedi... character not afraid to be different--

And the Stormtroopers... are being updated for a more proactive feminine presence.

And I toast... George and the Disney people for this new direction!

Isn't it great, Rick... them putting gratuitous sex, violence and heavy drinking back into Science Fiction and Fantasy where it belongs?

Yes, if you like gratuitous sex, violence and heavy drinking... and I do like it--

Just so you know, Bendy, Statler... and I are all for it, too!

The whole Disney Family falling right in line as Snow White... and the Seven Dwarfs pull all nighters to keep their new film on schedule--

I may have new info on myself and Star Wars but for now, I am keeping it... on the QT--

So, I have no comment on the current posters... out there.

You forgot to mention the SeaHulk!

Close games.

Seattle win by 4 pts.

Denver win by 5 pts.

Mark Hamill is today the same age that Alec Guinness was when Star Wars was made (63).

Is it just me or does it seem that actors who just aged looked so much better than ones who try to hang onto their youth?

Maybe because the older generation had something unheard of -- elegance.

Even with my win at the Golden Globes... for Best Actor NFL Thread--

I was truly surprised early this morning when I was woke up... when the Academy Award Nominations were announced!

I am so humbled I may just sit here... in reflective contemplation--

Until that lazy waiter get backs... with my next drink!

Well Done and very entertaining!!!
