Here's something you might be interested in.
It took this long for officials to realize the root word of "fanatic" is "fan?" Has it not occurred to them that a certain sector of the movie-going population has forever been irreparably harmed by George Lucas' Star Wars series, particularly Parts 1 - 3 and the one with the Ewoks?
The amount of in-jokes it would take to make this column the gold mine of giggles it deserves to be is simply not in me, and would take far too much research on a subject that holds little interest. Let us take a neutral point-of-view and allow the facts to speak for themselves: An Oregon judge sentenced David Allen Canterbury, 33, to 45-days in jail after he attacked customers at a Toy 'R Us with a pair of replica Star Wars lightsabers.
The Force is with you, young David Allen Canterbury, but you are not a Jedi yet.
At least this meshugana showed some restraint by limiting his mania to the internet. According to The Oregonian, Canterbury held a toy lightsaber in each hand as he did battle against three customers from the Dark Star last Dec. 14 at a Toys R Us store. Instead of solving the problem with a dissolve, a favored tactic of Mr. Lucas, Canterbury carried the lightsabers outside the store and swung at stormtroopers masquerading as Oregon police. Attempts to bring Canterbury down with a taser were thwarted by The Force. He later apologized to his victims,which shows a good spirit.
Canterbury's tale also involves a court-ordered mental health evaluation. He informed Judge Kenneth Walker that he is already seeking mental health treatment. After looking at his mug shot, I'm shocked to hear this. I mean no offense, but this guy has Claude Akins (pre-B.J. and the Bear) written all over his face and may need house arrest.
May the dross be with you!
