I wonder why...the sweet little lady in the freecreditreport.com commercial in the seafood restaurant is just smiling and happily bobbing her head along with the music...until the bass player sings "yee haw", then she gives him a scornful glare. What happened?

I wonder why...at the end of Star Wars III Luke is an infant and in Star Wars IV (#1 for us old farts) he's maybe 20...during the same time in Episode III Obi Wan is maybe 35, but he is in his seventies by Episode IV. Is Jedi life really that hard?

:rofl:  I always wonder the same thing when I see that commercial!

I also wonder what effect knowing his credit score would have had on buying a used compact and sticking to his seats. He would have had the same credit regardless and so would still have ended up with the same POS car and his posse getting laughed at.

Life is like a bowl of beer flavored chocolate covered dog turds.. it makes no sense. :pokinit:

I'm not sure, but I think they might be insinuating that someone maybe stole is identity and ruined his credit for him?  And if he had checked his credit report often he could have caught it and done something about it?

And yeah.....WTH is that old lady's problem with the yee-haw??  hahaha.....that did strike me as odd too.  I mean, the rest of the scenario is just fine but he's not allowed to yee-haw? 
RIP Kyle, we love and miss you man.  :smooch:

He is actually in his 30's in episode 3 and his 50's in episode 4, and yes, Jedi life is that hard, look at Kyp Durron, he's had a hell of a time from the beginning.

You trying to tell me Old Ben was 50 in episode IV? I'm fifty one...he's way worse looking then me. Yoda looks pretty good for his age.

Ben was born 57BBY and died 0BBY so he was 57 years old when Vader killed him.

Luke was born in 19BBY and died between Second Galactic Civil War (40ABY) and Sith-Imperial War (127ABY)

YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE
AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.
