"Luke, I'm your Father! Now pass the toast, will you sweetie?"

Man...I can't belive that it has come to this.

It has come to my attention (Thanks Wil Wheaton!) that this item is on pre-order status at the shop on Star Wars.com

It's a Star Wars Darth Vader Toaster!

Yes...

A toaster.

That burns the image of Darth Vader on your toast.

(Sigh!)

Quoth the site...

If there's something every Sith Lord knows how to do it's make a balanced breakfast. While the Jedi have to live off of Jawa juice and fried nerfsteak, the Dark Lord of the Sith prefers to have a reminder of his fiery Mustafar defeat at his breakfast table. Every morning he burns that moment into a slice of bread with the Darth Vader Toaster. This black, ominous kitchen appliance easily leaves the mark of Vader's helmet in every yummy piece of toast. Slather some Bantha butter on top, or make two pieces for an extra-Sithy BLT. Force power not required to operate toaster.

I have no words to describe this. These are the things that try men souls!

If you want to order this thing, you can go to here.

May God have mercy on your soul!

My candidate lost...I'm killing myself!!!!

In a very strange case of stupidity and a couple of drinks, two men who were rooting for candidate Anibal Acevedo Vilá of the PDP to win, decided that they wanted to commit their own version of "seppuku", a Japanese ritualized form of suicide to save face and honor, rather than live in a world ruled by Luis Fortuño and his NPP minions.

The incident happened on a rural town in Aguada, in the western part of PR, as Modesto Jiménez Acevedo, 61 and his nephew Josué Cabrera Jiménez, 26 watched as the PDP leader concede defeat, they decided that death was a more preferable alternative than living with the people they detested. They armed themselves with a kitchen knife and Modesto knifed himself in the stomach. When Josué saw this, he interjected "That's not the way to do it!" and proceded to wound himself in the stomach several times.

Family members learned of the plight of these fanatics when their pleas for help were heard, as they realized that their little stunt might actually kill them. Both were taken to a local hospital, and were interned in stable condition. Police is investigating this strange case, but is doubtful that any charges will be filed.

Man, killing yourself is a stupid decision. But killing yourself for a politician? WTF????

Might as well kill yourself in the name of Spongebob Squarepants or Hello Kitty!

Oh wait...I think people in Japan have already done that in the name of the almighty Kitty... sorry, my bad!

Another season of local baseball starts today!

For those following this blog, you might not understand this, but one of my passions is baseball. My devotion to the NY Yankees is well known to my friends and foes alike.

My other devotion is to the Santurce Crabbers baseball team.

Ever since I was a little boy, I have been a Crabbers fan. I have seen their good and bad times.

But ever since 2004, when the Crabbers became the Manati Athenians, I swore off local pro baseball. A local season without the Crabbers

Until now!

They're back!

And I'll be there! Their initial game is today against the champions, The Carolina Giants.

Hope they win. If not, it doesn't matter! They are back, that's what's important!

A web site worth visiting...

Garfield minus Garfield.

What do you have left when you take Garfield the cat out of the popular strip. Well, the results are wildly funny, but a little disturbing.

Check it out!

Michael Crichton, author of "Jurassic Park", "Andromeda Strain" and "E.R." has died.

We have recieved word of this sad news a couple of minutes ago.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – U.S. best-selling author Michael Crichton, who wrote such novels as "The Andromeda Strain" and "Jurassic Park," and created the popular TV drama "ER," has died at 66, his family said on Wednesday.

Crichton, a medical doctor turned novelist whose books have sold more than 150 million copies worldwide, died "unexpectedly" on Tuesday in Los Angeles after a private battle with cancer, his family said.

"While the world knew him as a great story teller that challenged our preconceived notions about the world around us -- and entertained us all while doing so -- his wife Sherri, daughter Taylor, family and friends knew Michael Crichton as a devoted husband, loving father and generous friend who inspired each of us to strive to see the wonders of our world through new eyes," his family said in a statement on the website.

"He did this with a wry sense of humor that those who were privileged to know him personally will never forget."

The Crichton family asked for privacy and said a private funeral service would be held for the author.

Crichton was born in Chicago on October 23, 1942 and wrote his first novels under pen names while attending Harvard Medical School. "The Andromeda Strain," which was published in 1969, became his first best-seller.

In addition to "Jurassic Park" and its sequel, "The Lost World," which became blockbuster Hollywood films, Crichton wrote "Congo," "The Terminal Man," "Prey" and "State of Fear" among others.

More than a dozen of his novels have been made into films and in 1996 he won an Emmy for "ER."

In the light of day...

After the victories of both the NPP here in PR and Barack Obama in the States, it has come to the attention of the local elections commission, that less that 77% of qualified voters in PR voted in yesterday's election.

77% percent?

That's lower than 1980's election. Then it was 77.8% of voters.

I knew there was something amiss when I voted yesterday, and the college I was assigned was empty!

Can we disregard then this election, as they did with the One senate referendum, a couple of years ago?

Hum?

OBAMA IS THE PRESIDENT ELECT!!!!!!

A historic night!!!!

The first African-American to win the White House!!!!!!

The US has to be proud!!!!!

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
