Back in the mid 80s, I was in a campground, deep in the mountains of
Oregon. Got to hear 4 drunken bagpipers play the theme from Star Wars
at 2:30 a.m. Bone chilling. Forever after the incident was named "The
Rape of the Wild Wookie."


OK, completely OT - the English guy, Peter Mayhew, who played (and will
play in the last episode) Chewbacca (sp?) in the Star Wars movies is
now, by choice, a furniture maker in Granbury, Texas...and oddly, he
reminds me of Tom L. with curly hair...

TC,
