[following the posting of a photo of Star Wars stormtroopers in a WalMart parking lot]
<blaine> walmart? stormtroopers?
<blaine> "...this fully operational Supercenter!"
<scromp> But I was going to the automotive section to pick up some power converters!
<scromp> i find your lack of rebates disturbing.
<scromp> This will be a day long remembered. It has seen the imprisonment of 
         Stewart, and will soon see the end of K-Mart!
<cheesy> Aren't you a little short to be a shopper?
<dawa> Fred, shut down all rebates on isle 14, shut down all rebates on isle 14!
<cheesy> Negative, negative, we have a ketchup spill here. Give us a few minutes
         to lock it down. Large spill, very dangerous!
<scromp> Volume is what gives a Wal*Mart its power. It's an economic lever created
         by all our shoppers. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the 
         country together.
<dawa> Walmart, You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
       We must be cautious.
<martel> Good. Use your aggressive bargaining. Let the discounts flow through you.
<cheesy> Help us FTC, you're our only hope!
<dawa> I just made a deal that will keep the Wallmart out of our town forever.
<martel> You weak minded fool. He's using an old Jedi pricing trick.
<scromp> I see you have constructed a new mop bucket. Your skills are complete, 
         indeed you are are industrious as the Manager has forseen.
<scromp> At that low price we won't last long against those Supercenters!
<blaine> "Shop at Target..." "The Walmarts are closer!" "Shop at Target!"
         "They're undercutting us!"
<dawa> What an incredible BARGAIN you've discovered

<scromp> haha.. Rove says that when Bush was staring at the camera
 blankly for 10 seconds at a time, he was "pausing for emphasis"
<scromp> maybe he thinks "emphasis" is some kind of brain disease

<meri> The new Star Wars bonus DVD erases elements of your Xbox's
 firmware without informing you or giving you a chance to decline.
 This is apparently deliberate, as part of an "anti-piracy" effort
 aimed at punishing people who play the Star Wars DVD bonus disk
 in a modded Xbox.
<blaine> so thx1138 was basically george lucas's hope for the future
