I’m still a Simpsons nerd after all these years. Didn’t really get into ‘em until I was a junior, though – when my roomie (Craig McClure) brought home a VHS tape with back-to-back episodes. I happened to catch last night’s episode, although I didn’t devote my full attention to the screen throughout. Before credits rolled, the producers ran a short list of characters who had died in the Star Wars films – including Darth Vader, who was last seen on Thursday’s Daily Show with Jon Stewart (hilarious).

Anyway, one of the fallen names was “Sy Snootles” – lead singer for the Max Rebo Band at Jabba’s palace. But she didn’t die in the film! Unless she was on the sail barge when it went down, there is absolutely no visual record of her death in any of the six Star Wars films. Maybe they were thinking of Oola – rancorpoodoo? I know, I shouldn’t be obsessing about such things on Monday. There are far more important things to worry about, like… Windows Vista, or why people aren’t apparently linking to Robert Scoble?

In other Star Wars news, I’ve got two 50-gallon tubs in the garage filled with excellent-to-mint condition Star Wars figures (still in the packages / boxes). Know anyone who might want ‘em? May have to eBay everything, anyway.
