One of the things I've had to get used to in moderating Boing Boing is that enough people see the boingers as celebrities that we actually get stalkers and hostile obsessives. The moral, I suppose, is that if it seems to you that a lot of commenters on Boing Boing are suddenly taking a particular line, there's a good possibility that it's all the same commenter.

If it doesn't entertain you, move on to the next post. Start your own blog and you can put whatever you want on it. Then we can all come over and complain that you're not amusing us.

I remember at the time thinking that Pegleg Pete and not Goofy should have been cast as Vader. But I also recalled a vinyl LP I had as a kid and may still possess in storage called <i>Irwin & the Ducks From Space</i>, an obvious Star Wars cash-in by a kids record producer to string studio song covers together into a weak storyline. The hero looked like Donald Duck wearing a Yorkshire Terrier on his head to resemble Mark Hamill.
