This is where I post the random ephemera I come across that has no other home.

How much must Luke Skywalker be freaking out right now?
Can you imagine?
You are moping on your island of self-imposed exile, and then this girl shows up.
- She’s flying your best friend’s ship. The ship that Han thought he lost for ever. The ship that was stolen and passed through so many hands that he was sure he’d never see it again. The same ship that took you away from home for the first time.
- She’s accompanied by your personal droid. The droid you left behind and abandoned. The droid that C-3PO was sure would never be the same again.
- She holds out her hand and she’s holding your father’s light saber. The sword you were sure was lost forever. The light saber that you dropped down a bottomless air shaft on a gas giant thirty years ago. The light saber you knew you would never see again.
- You look up and you see her eyes. Maz Kanata says that if you live long enough, you see the same eyes looking out of different faces. The girl’s face is different, but those eyes are the same. You know those eyes. They’re the eyes you thought you’d never see again.
And that’s when you know it.
You’re screwed.
They say sometimes the Force works in mysterious ways. Sometimes, the Force will send you little signs. Subtle clues.
Other times, the Force will just beat you repeatedly over the head with a gigantic neon sign that says: “You can’t run away from your past anymore, Luke. I won’t let you. Look, here is your past come back to haunt you. Now deal with it.”
You have no idea how much I adore this post with my whole being
I like the idea of the Force sending Luke little signs over the years that it’s time to return to his loved ones, gently increasing in intensity as he ignores them, until it finally gets fed up and shoves the events of Episode 7 into motion, finishing with a flourish of HERE’S YOUR NEW APPRENTICE, SPACE HOBO.

This is not mine, but it made me giggle so thought I would share What it’s like to be a network engineer, translated into normal people speak:

What it’s like to be a network engineer, translated into normal people speak:
User: I think we are having a major road issue.
Me: What? No, I just checked, the roads are fine. I was actually just on the roads.
User: No I’m pretty sure the roads are down because I’m not getting Pizzas.
Me: Everything else on the roads is fine. What do you mean you aren’t getting Pizzas.
User: I used to get Pizzas when I ordered them, now I’m not getting them. It has to be a road issue.
Me: As I said, the roads are fine. Where are you getting pizzas from?
User:…I’m not really sure. Can you check all places that deliver pizzas?
Me: No I’m not even sure all the places that deliver pizza. You need to narrow it down.
User: I think it’s Subway.
Me: Ok I’ll check…No I just looked and Subway doesn’t deliver pizzas.
User: I’m pretty sure it is Subway. Can you just allow all food from Subway and we can see if Pizza shows up?
Me: Sigh, fine I’ve allowed all food from Subway, but I don’t think that is the issue.
User: Yeah I’m still not getting pizza. Can you check the roads?
Me: It’s not the roads, the roads are fine. I’m pretty sure Subway isn’t the place.
User: Ok I found it, its Papa Johns.
Me: Ok I looked and Papa Johns does deliver pizza. Is it the local papa johns or one in a different town?
User: I don’t know. Can you allow pizza from all Papa Johns to me?
Me: No I can’t do that. Can you get me an address for Papa Johns?
User: No, I only know it as Papa Johns. Can you get me all the addresses of all Papa Johns and I’ll tell you if one of them is correct?
Me: No I don’t have time for that. Ok I looked at the local one and it looks like they have sent you pizza in the past and they are currently allowed to send you pizzas. Try ordering a pizza while I watch.
User: Yeah still no pizza. I’m guessing they are getting blocked at the freeway. Can you check the freeway to make sure they can get through?
Me: NO this is a local delivery. They aren’t even using the freeway.
User: Ok, well then it has to be a road issue.
Me: NO the roads are fine. OK I just drove from the papa johns to the address they have on file for you and there is nothing there.
User: Hmm, wait we did move recently.
Me: Did you give your new address to Papa johns?
User: no, I just thought they would be able to look me up by name.
Me: No they need your new address. What’s your new address?
User: I’m not really sure. Can you look it up?
Me: sigh, give me a second…Ok I found your address and gave it to Papa Johns. Try ordering a pizza now.
User: HEY PIZZA JUST SHOWED UP!
Me: Ok, good.
User to everyone else they know: I apologize for the delay in the pizza but there was a major road issue that was preventing the pizza from getting to me. The network engineer has fixed the roads and we are able to get pizza again.
Me: but it wasn’t the roads…whatever.
User: oh can you also check on an issue where Chinese food isn’t getting to me? I think it may be a road issue.
This. Is. Truth.

marcintosh asked: What's your favorite awful movie?
The Apple.
I remember being a child of 7 or 8 and not understanding how horrible this movie was. And singing the songs and making up ones in a similar style (in my brain!). I had totally forgot about it until I searched for bad 80s movies this week.
