Forget that, it snowed in PUERTO RICO  that year. Highest elevations and it didn't stick, but there you are.

After reaching my 7th decade, I've had my nose rubbed in the fact that nothing is easy--and the easier I thought it would be seems to make it that much harder.

That's about Star Wars, right? How much time do I have to invest to get that joke?

You had to have a pulse in the 2000s and/or a passing familiarity with the internet during that entire decade, so I'm guessing not much of an investment.

Most people hate him. lol

From what I hear, adults around that time HATED the character, because the kids kept quoting him nonstop. I'm neutral on the character in the movies, personally. He's much more insufferable in Clone Wars. I think they did that on purpose and just leaned into his obnoxious nature. lol

I recall a detailed schematic review. I had a dozen electrical engineers pouring over my design, sheet by sheet. Some manager chimed in with something really idiotic. The room fell silent for a few seconds. The tension was palpable. Then a roaring mass chuckle and the review proceeded.

Hmmmm...
