This is exactly like that post that Daisy made.
This reminds me of the part where Daisy posted a comment about a guy making a lightsaber dildo out of LEDs and a Master Replica Darth Vader lightsaber.

I think im paying more attention to this bilingual fight to the death that has started. And yes, the melted armpits and diced limbs would be frequent if this were real but they're well on their way to perfecting the jetpack. Now all we need are dual laser pistols and then we can double PEW-PEW Fett style up in this biatch.

Hey Geekologie Writer. I love you and always will. I'd marry you and let you take my hand. I would be very pleased if you let me run with you under cerulean skies.
I would make you happy, like little chocolate turtoises in a balcanian wedding.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where it was Max's birthday, and Baja gave him a bacon alarm clock to wake up to, and then she took him to Del Tacos where they had a bacon chees roll, and then later they sat in a cardboard box and he ate bacon ice cream off her chest. I don't need to tell you what he wore that day,.
It was a glorious birthday indeed.

@27. you say Spanish is not useful? I'm from Spain and have travelled to the US several times, and I can tell you that most of the time i went there I didn't have to speak a word of English. English may be easier to learn, but Spanish is a richer and more beautiful language. it's got more grammar, and the pronunciation is simpler. on the other side, English' grammar is really poor, you have very few tenses, your vocabulary is less specific (for example, the phrasal verbs, which are basically a verb followed by a preposition... for each of the uses of each of those verbs we have a different verb) and your pronunciation is harder to learn, as there are many ways to say the same thing... the only way to get a word wrong in Spanish while writing is mistaking b for v or g for j or not writing an h... how about English? I have seen several times people writing your instead of you're... where the hell does that come from? don't you learn grammar at school?
and also, English is not the American language. English is the language spoken on English-speaking countries. America is north America, central America and south America, and the US are only a small part of north America. i really hate it when people say that US is America... how about Mexico? how about Peru? how about Argentina and Brazil? the number of countries in America where English is not the official language is huge, so why do you keep saying that? it shows the lack of culture some people have... duh..

48. catch22 - December 31, 2008 9:25 AM
yes i agree with the bajillion comments about lightsaber limb loss "if it were real"...
and by "real" we really mean if it were fake but true to the cannon physics we all agree to be standard in lightsabers...
if lightsabers were real id have awesome statues made out of all the rocks in the neighborhood as well as some quick and easy landscaping done to the dead trees behind my house and a french door setup in the walkout basement (the ability to cut concrete like butter would be very useful)...
*is probly the only one who puts home improvement on the top of the lightsaber to-do list"...dont get me wrong im sure to hack off the limbs of my enemies eventually

@47. of course, ANYONE could have guessed you were talking about Spanish from south Texas, it was SO obvious. if you compare the proportion of people who speak Spanish worldwide and that of Texas... how much would it be? 0.5%? i don't mean to be rude, but it bugs me when people
@36. canada's population is so damn VAST... there's more than 500 million people in south and central america. in canada there's than 45 million, and not all of them speak english. and you say i speak funny? that's because i am 16 years old and learn english at school. go back in time and try to speak three languages the way I do while trying to get the highest marks you can at all the other subjects, you idiot. vete a tomar por culo maricon de mierda, que se ve que no tienes ni puta idea de otro idioma que no sea el ingles. la economia del mundo se esta yendo a pique por culpa de estados unidos, y qué haceis vosotros? rascaros las pelotas. vaaaaamos anda...

what would have made it better is if he was battling someone else at the same time!!!!

To all the genius taint-lickers who think they are the first one to comment about slicing my hands off; No f***ing shit! Oh and to the super sleuth that "thinks it's photoshopped" see it's not a photo it's a video so it's not photoshopped. I used Adobe After Effects to layer the light saber effect over a real set of nunchucks. I'm glad all you purist Lucas dick suckers got your f***in panties in a bunch over a simple video. It's something thats not real based on something else thats not real. To anybody who appreciated the video merely for it's visual aesthetics, I thank you for your comments.
64. 100% Canadian - January 14, 2009 3:35 PM
@36
I am Canadian, and I totally disagree with you. First of all, in all my years of living in this country I have NEVER heard a Canadian say "eh" ....unless they were joking. That is just something outsides assume we say, and I HATE when I hear that stereotype used when portraying Canada.
Second, we are NOT trying to "get rid of" the french. The "french" (if you mean Quebec), are trying to leave us! They don't want to be a part of Canada, not the other way around.
@38.
You're right, USA = "America". Although I do live in North America, I NEVER refer to myself as "American" because I do not want to be placed in the same category as a USA resident. Besides, if I do any international touring I think it would be safer to admit I am Canadian than to call myself an "American". I think even the Spanish separate the two countries...."gringos" = Americans (USA) and "weros" = Canadians ....I think.
