A BIRTHDAY FOR PAPA GEORGE

My bank account is typically as barren as the sands of Tatooine. That's partially because of my continuing donations to George Lucas and his beneficiaries.


No resentment here. Really. I'll gladly give. Repeatedly.

Although being financially challenged found me stitching together a random excuse for a meal last night instead of dining out, I still managed to think of Papa George on his 69th birthday.

No, I didn't bake a cake in his honor. But that's not saying I didn't think about it.


Here's a link to a story I wrote for MTV Geek about just that. The Severed Wampa Arm cake is the bee-zomb:

I also talked to Anthony "C-3PO" Daniels a couple of weeks ago. Here's a link to that jibba jabba:
