You suck balls? Isn't that in a different forum?
There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past.

Very true. Here's a hint: The year that this character first appeared on screen was 1977.

1977 leaves out Terry Jones. He played the hermit in Life of Brian, but that was in 1979.

No, it's not an actor. Character. What other huge movie came out in 1977?

No, no. He said hermit. Hermit rhymes with kermit, so he obviously is pointing towards the little muppet that's always laughing next to Jabba.

No, no, no. That muppet is Salacious Crumb, not the guy I'm talking about. The guy you want IS a hermit on Tatooine though.

"I wonder if he means old Ben Kenobi, the old hermit who lives out past the dune sea?" (I'm not sure if I got the last part of the quote right, but it's close enough)

Not to RErail the thread or anything but can we get back to the important subject of me, and how I finally got out of Best Buy?

The hate that spewed from this groups finger tips when I shared that I was employed with "big blue" was toxic at best. I was expecting more praise and congratulations in the hopes of reinforcing my efforts for doing so.
What, me worry?
