Star Wars Kid
My first thought was "BAND FAG" and then as I started watching all the episodes, I realized how very, VERY lucky those school-chums of the Star Wars Kid are...lucky he didn't wear a dark trench coat into school one day loaded with guns and ammo and start blowing people away for the most embarrassing video ever. As I'm a the-cup-is-half-full kind of guy, I'd tell this kid to get the fuck out of that psychiatric center now, buck up, and accept that his 15-minutes of fame is quickly ticking away and needs to get booked on any and every talk-show in the world. I'd even think the Oscars might be calling him for a cameo next March. (via JayBear at SardonicBomb.com)

I wonder if I can find that old Super 8mm film I did in high school? I could be the next Star Wars Kid! Ok...at 40...maybe not.
Posted by: John B at July 25, 2003 10:59 AMYou know, when I was a kid, I lived in a house loaded with massive firepower (my dad was, after all, a Marine), and while I'm glad I never made what seems to be an obvious connection now, I wonder why I never did.
That said, if I were Ghyslain, I'd nail those kids to the wall and then milk this for all it's worth.
