[color=66ff00]Came across this today, was funny, good bit of scripting and kudos to the guy who stuck with him despite the surreal circumstances: Jedi buys a car (//www.littlemidgets.com/detail.php?type=2&content=3954)[/color]

If this is what I think it is, I enjoyed the fight with the loaves of bread.

I fell out of my chair when I first saw this ages ago. :)

So is Aldershot a real place?

Obviously insane, as Alec Guinness was obviously not born in London. :rolleyes:

[color=66ff00]I think he's referring to Ewan MacGregor's pseudo-English accent in the prequels.

Guys, I hear you can get sarcasm detectors pretty cheap on eBay these days.

Sarcasm is difficult to reproduce in text format. You need smilies for that.

We're talking about ZylonBane though. It's simpler to use the assumption that everything he says is sarcastic as a starting point.

Especially when he asks you let him out of the giant hamper full of dirty priests underwear.

True. Hence the dripping sarcasm in my response to his sarcasm.

Which is ironic, since you utterly failed to recognize my sarcasm.

Actually, I did. Otherwise I'd have responded without sarcasm, as I only use sarcasm in response to other sarcasm.

A no-first-use policy, eh?  You have much to learn.

No kidding. Being sarcastic to someone else who was being sarcastic makes it look like you thought they were being serious.

That is true, and it is an unfortunate side effect to the strategy.
