We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Its the Mandalorians, the Republic had a war with them millions of years before and it started the Jedi Civil War.
Portland.. another cool find from the cool city of Portland! I can't read the question, even on magnify. Is it Boba or Baba? Fest or Feat?
I think there was a gram of coke in this matchbook. That's why there's something crazy written on it. It's the classic way to move a small amount of drugs across the bar.
(Squeaks excitedly): Oooh, pub quiz question! Are pub quizzes catching on in the US?
I think it was the 4 by 100 relay in the 1976 Summer Olympics. The Americans beat East Germany by .33 seconds and USSR by .48 seconds. That was a great race!
Oh.. My ... f. GOD.. I was just talking earlier about how Boba Fett Was THE awesomest StarWars Character EVERrRRrrrr.
And here's a Boba Fett Find.
Mere coincidence? I think not I think the Universe is talking to me...
(boba fett is HOTT.)
a few hours ago I ran across #6 (of 6) in a series of Olympia matchbooks on which Leslie wrote me a not in about 1984..
AND I've been playing with some matchbooks recently myself.
The synchronicity of this find is freaking me out a little bit, you guys.
Umm..I will have to excuse myself from this find today.
No clue, other than pub questions are a cool activity. After a few beers, you can make up anything and it will be funny.
orinoco womble in wimbledon burrow: YES! pub quizzes are really popular here, well at least where me and my friends go. get's pretty competitive actually haha
I've always loved the Bobba Fett character; who I think is a re-hash of the Exterminator 17 character from the old Heavy Metal magazine.
Good stuff.
the pub quiz thing was a big deal about 15 years ago where I used to live and hang around.. don't know what's going on nowdays, though. I never participated- just spectated.
He was reading over my shoulder
Mandolorian he murmured, and walked away
and i wonder
how he can remember details of a fake history
and i can't name everyone who signed the Constitution?
Awesome FIND! I don't know the answer but I really adore the subject and the FIND!
@Fresh: don't go burning down the house now.

Oh Clover. I love that you're not a Star Wars fan.
"May the Force be with you."
I am not a Star Wars fan? I did not know this.
When I saw the first Star Wars in the theater, you know the one where Princess Leia was so beautiful and sweet, and Luke was innocent and idealistic, and back when Harrison Ford was totally dashing, and we were totally blown away by the special effects (even those of us who did NOT eat shrooms first). Those were the days when we could be truly awed by the power of a movie.. all subsequent sequels pale in significance to my memory of that movie, and seeing it in the theater three times that first season, in 1977.
When the movie was re-released after it had been fixed up and enhanced, we went to see it again in the theater. It was just not the same.
I want to go to a pub and take part in a pub quiz. Dang, I'm missing all the fun.
Not so surprising here in Portland. Seems the conversations dwell around Star Wars, Star Trek, and World of Warcraft.
Excellent find, though. And a fun thing to ask my "invisible" significant other.
Oh mona. I love when you use that patronizing tone with people. so you.
What movie did Princess Leah have huge sweet rolls on either side of her head?
That was the first one, Sammy Davis Junior Jr. The first Star Wars. The one from 1977.
@commenting on the commenters.. may The Force be with you!
From what desire/ and from what what thinking did his radiance come?/In what new spirit had his body birth?
Oh yes...I remember 1997, paying $1 to see Superman and feeling like they gypped us out of 95c...but they played the trailer to the totally new Star Wars film and I sat there telling my best friend, "I have GOT to see that movie!" The lighting somehow made it completely other.
First film I ever saw more than once. And I have no idea how many times I saw it. I stopped counting at 26. In the movie theatre. (Video showings later don't count.)
The subsequent add-on chapters didn't do it for me, either.
Of course I meant 1977. Idiot basil.
My 4 year old son LOVES Star Wars! (Makes my hubby very happy--he's a Star Wars geek, too) He has the Lego Playstation video games of Star Wars (both I and II) and is slowly collecting all of the action figures. He runs around the house "playing" Star Wars, and just today, he was acting like Boba Fett. I'm just dumb ole' Mom who "doesn't know about Star Wars". Also, he is going as Annakin for Halloween.
Pretending to be Annakin is one thing...naming your son Annakin is another. Which is what an Internet acquaintance did, when said movie came out. I mean,why don't you just stamp his DOB on his forehead, woman? Yeesh!
Please think before you name your kids. Don't be "funny" and don't "date" them. They're people, not trophies or toys, as someone has said before here...and they won't thank you for a name that means years of bullying on the schoolyard before they can move out and have it changed by deed poll.
I got $5 saying matchbook author didn't score that night at the pub.
I agree, sick in tired, which is why we gave our son a "traditional" name.
I asked my brother because he knows all about star wars (he spends his spare time on wookieepedia).
He said the answer is Kamino.
nerd alert!
Tessa in Canada: Kamino is where Boba Fett was cloned from his father and was originally raised, yes. His armor is Mandalorian and I quote: "The Mandalorians (called Mando'ade in Mando'a, meaning "children of Mandalore") were a warlike, nomadic group of clan-based people consisting of members from multiple species. Often, they served as mercenaries and bounty hunters."
and end nerdiness ;)
