Proof these two Star Wars fanatics are losers.

[Lazycouch]

We all know they're losers for wanting to wait 5 months for Episode 2. But, damn,I didn't know how big of a loser these guys are.

I didn't copy and paste the entire article from Seattle Times, just the ones that stand out.

"Guth is president of the Seattle Star Wars Society, and counts among his favorite pieces of memorabilia a tuxedo custom-made from a set of "Star Wars" bed sheets, which he wears to all special "Star Wars" functions. "No one else has one in the world," he said. Tweiten is one of the club's roughly 1,200 members, and has a life-size Yoda replica he won in a "Star Wars" trivia contest. "

I wonder if these guys have anything in their lives outside of Star Wars.

"In a written statement, the two said they are "dedicating their lives to a cultural phenomenon that has inspired their hearts and instructed their values throughout their lives."

Never mind, my question is answered.

"Sometimes the best thing about something is the wait," Tweiten said.

A number of critics claimed that was the best thing about "Episode 1: The Phantom Menace."

You're damn right.


"Guth and Tweiten also want to set a world record for waiting in line for a movie. Asked what the current record is, Guth said he had club members looking into it. The duo initially had planned a two-year wait for the "Star Wars" movie, but decided to scale it down and make a start with the new year. "

Dear... God.

"Adding that Guth and Tweiten won't be allowed to use Cinerama's restroom, Callaghan said, "We don't encourage anyone to spend five months outside a movie theater." "

You encourage them to do it just by letting them out there.


"A Death-Star-size understatement: "Not everybody's going to understand this," Guth said. "A lot of people, just because they're not doing it, they think it's weird."

Or maybe its just that you people don't have lives.

Well, I`d like to post my thoughts on why these guys are so fucking loserific, but I have to go and get in line for Return of the King. Later!

[Strider]

Damn! Those guys must not have a life at all. I was thinking about beating them to the line for The Godfather Part IV. I think I might just do that.

LOL!

[nastylittlewitch]

Let them have their own fun, they don`t hurt anybody.

[dicaprio_travolta_man]

They're are not losers what they are is two men that reak of coolness. What they're doing is fucking cool I totally envy them, waiting in line for the movie that WILL be the BIGGEST and BEST of 2002 is cool. They're are not losers, they're dedicated fans with a mission. Okay, I to am a SW fan but I doubt I would wait in line for 5 months, 2 weeks maybe, but not 5 months. Still I don't think what they're doing is stupid, and I'm sure they have lives whether they do or not is something we can not judge, it's rude and basically stupid judging people we don't know. If they wanna wait 5 months in the rain, snow, and possible hail I say more power to em. and stick up for what you belive in and don't listen to a pathetic, waist of skin, piece of shit reporter because he dosen't know shit about shit. Do what you wanna do and don't listen to other pathetic life forms (like me) just do whatever the hell you want. I truly do envy them.....


P.S. Dumb-Fokker, wouldn't waiting in line for Return Of The King tickets make you a "Loser with no life"? Is that what you are http://www.joblo.com/ubb/wink.gif????

[daddiefatsacks]

what they are doing is quite extreme, but i wouldn't necessarily call them 'losers', I mean look at some of your nicknames on here http://www.joblo.com/ubb/smile.gif

[kittychatalot]

You guys are the funniest. I wish I could go see Attack of the Clones with all of you- even though it will probably suck even more than Episode 1(if that is possible).

[ColinM]

Being a known Star Wars Freak, I might have tried to defend these guys originally (doubtful), until I read this:

Dear God! This makes them losers in my eyes. These may be great movies, but these guys seriously need to get a life. TWO YEARS? Sheesh!

[Dumb-Fokker-**]

lol, DCT`s "biggest and the best" comment brought back, not so happy memoires of the few months before Episode I came out. lol Well DCT, I hope your not too dissapointed. And yes, these guys are losers. They are chairmen of SW clubs, and everything else you read, and they wanted to wait in line for 2 years. 5 months is bad enough. ....they are losers

[Jay_visigoth]

Surely you just can't judge them! And an obsession surely doesn't make you a loser. Waiting to see a movie is hopeless though, i mean, your life gotta be sooo empty! I was waiting impatiently for Episode 1, i was sooooooo dissapointed that since then i just wait for them! But they either wanted publicity or just wanted to show their love to G.L.(Lucas)'s project. It is rather stupid, but the fee for their five-month waiting will give them so much money(see Guiness record! They pay you a very respectful reward for your record+ the publicity!!) that you Lazycouch gonna look ridiculous and say 250.000$ poorer! WHO's THE LOOSER NOW!!! -sorry about that!- SEE YA! http://www.joblo.com/ubb/tongue.gif

Uh, you don't get paid to be in the Guiness Book of World Records...especially not $250,000. I'm sorry, but there is no way to spin it...these 2 guys have no lives.

Off topic, but DTF, you don't need to say They're are. They're is short for "There Are," thus by saying "They're are," you are repeating yourself. Just helping you out...

[Common Sense Man]

Thought you might like this.

The select members of Seattle's Star Wars society, who are currently waiting on line for tickets 5 months in advance, were mugged last night at around 2am, police say. They were assaulted by a small gang while asleep, and were roughed up and had their money stolen. Fortunately for them, noone was seriously injured, although they had to take a short break from their vigil in order be checked at the local hospital.


Out......

[Cyclonus]

It was a mishap just waiting to happen!

LOL. Thanks Cutman, I apreciate it ....

[Horror whore]

I'm sure if this happened with LOTR fans they wouldn't be considered losers......

[Dumb-Fokker-**]

Um, Horror Whore that was a throw-away statement. If somebody was gonna wait for 5 months for the TTs, guess what?? I would still think they were huge fucking losers! Again, there was no basis for that statement. On a site note; some radio station or something is sending those guys a Van to sleep in, and a stripper. lol Is that some funny shit or what?? Those two geek probably dont even know what a stripper is.

[cutman]

Seriously. Who the hell cares what movie these dorks are waiting for...it's the fact that they have NOTHING BETTER TO DO FOR 5 MONTHS THAN WAIT IN FRONT OF A MOVIE THEATER. If they were waiting for The Two Towers, then they would just be Lord of the Rings dorks. How can anyone not see the idiocy of these two guys' actions?

cutman

[idealdiscountdude]

These guys definetly DO NOT HAVE LIVES! This is one of the most ludacris things I have ever heard.

[inglourious basterd]

I feel bad for them...its actually pretty sad.

[Dumb-Fokker-**]

I changed my mind! These guys are my heros. There my idols. I love, and repsect what their doing, and you people should all be ahsamed of yourselves for making fun of them. I mean, which one of you wouldnt want to sit out in the freezing cold, getting mugged and made fun of al over the world, for some shitty ass movie?? hmmmmm?? Yeah, thats what I though.
