HAPPY INTERNATIONAL STAR WARS DAY

THE LIST IS ON VACATION

In the immortal words of Peter Cetera, “Everybody needs a little time away.” Personally, I don’t have much of a choice. It’s family vacation time and I’m off to spend a little time drinking alcohol poolside. Regular posts will resume again on Monday, April 25th. Until then, enjoy this pic of super hottie Kelly Brook getting her nerd on:

Cheers, y’all!

GROOVERS & MOBSTERS PRESENT: THE FINAL FRONTIER

I’ll admit, like most my lists, time and circumstance can change my opinions. However, right now, these are my Top 10 FAVORITE STAR WARS CHARACTERS.

Here we go (in order):
