As winter approaches in the southern hemisphere this tragic cause is once again brought to our attention. Every day Muppets are slaughtered so that fashionistas all around the world, can look like this:

Am I serious?

Well, quite honestly, I just wanted to see another topic other than the one dominating this forum on top of the thread list.

And yes, that should actually say "Muppetcide". Excuse the s from the c, sometimes a girl just confuses the two. Chit happens!

And if you think this isn't relevant to you, think again!

Even our favourite Star Wars characters are not immune.

Ah, you know what Ariens are like HSC - always willing to take up a good cause.

If we don't stop it now, it could be Wallace and Gromit next. Can't have that happening.

"Wensleydale!"

I love Wallace and Grommit.

I have a Bowl Chart,
and a ton of Aquarius;
I need me a cause, too.

Still feeling for it in the dark.
That's where I want my light to go.

Dark Side, eh? Hmmm....
Is life that black and white?

But, yes, if I remember correctly:

He saved his son,
killed the Emperor,
liberated the universe,
and died a martyr's death.

Yes, indeed he did. Thereby redeeming himself.

EDIT: You edited.

Yes, well, he did. I'm a bit cynical when it comes to the ending of some movies how the characters redeem themselves in the end. But it's Star Wars. Lets not overanalysis it! Or, if we do - lets meet at the next convention.

I'm not the bad guy, PA.

I'm sorry you see it that way.

You stick to the tried and true.

I'll take care of the revolution.

peace and god bless

I don't think you're the bad guy. At all. I can't see where I've said anything to make you think that.

That's sad HSC.

Peace, man.

"No reason to get excited,
The thief he kindly spoke.
There are many here among us
who feel that life is but a joke.
But, you and I,
we've been through that,
and this is not our fate.
So let us not talk falsely now.
The hour's getting late."

~ Bob Dylan

Not a Dylan fan. Definitely a Floyd fan.

"So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?"

Actually, I don't know if this is who I am or who I want to be. I think I'd be flattering myself to say that I'm there, but at the same time I think that which we desire to be we contain some degree or element within us to recognise it in the first place. But these lyrics - they get me - and the sincerity with which they are sung - touches me to the core. Peter Gabriel, In Your Eyes:

"Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out, from the inside".

In the end of it, we just want others to see us the way we see ourselves. In that secret place inside ourselves where we know all those things that we are - the exceptional things - we just yearn for someone else to see those qualities.

I really believe that.

"Mother, did it need to be so high?"

Nobody can argue with that Peter Gabriel song.

LOL - Mother. When I was around 17 and going through a very very serious depression, that was one of my favourite songs. It just touched me in some place. Not out of mother complexes, but because of the way Roger Waters sings that.

Peter Gabriel has always felt like some kindred spirit for me. I always feel warmly towards him. I'm sure we'd get on quite well if we to ever meet.
