So at Al-Mart do they sell Hawaiian shirts made by Guatemalan children?

Oh wait, that was terrible.

How well does the actual chain usually keep Al stocked by the way? Comparatively, the Super K-Mart by me seems to have squeezed him out some time ago.

The ones I've been at don't have a great selection, but they do have some Al stuff. The Borders near me has a far better selection.

In the Yoda chant, there's a part that goes "dit dit da"
Well, in morse code, "dit" means dot, and "da/dah" means dash.

This translates to the letter U.
Yeah, I have no life XD

Ok, next on your things to do list; translate the morse code and see if there is a message in the chant. or is that all there is - the U?

hey, you're the one without a life. I'm still trying to get my HAM radio license, and NOT with the morse code bit.

I'm pretty sure that's the only part with a series of "dits" and "da's"

Where when and HOW do people realize this stuff?! When Ryan told me about the two frames of the original James Brown music video of "Living in America" that had accidentally been left in the "Living with a Hernia" video, I had to wonder...

I found that.

Hehe, I was just goofing around in the chat, typing
/me blinks
/me blinks again
/me starts blinking in morse code

Then I actually started typing a little bit of morse code -- but the way I learned morse code, we always said "dit" and "da", which suddenly made me think of the yoda chant right after the da-din-din-da's. *shrugs*

Now the next logical step is to translate the whole chant into morse code and tap along with Al at the next concert.

has anyone here actually learnt the yoda chant?

if i ever have that much spare time, i might

I know the shorter version of the chant; I learned most of it it from some friends at GSA in 2004 who had been to several concerts.
But, I know Hardware Store and Jurashiku Park by heart... in other words, being home hospitalled gives me WAY too much free time.
