christmas | Chicago Force

Chicago Force continued with the annual holiday tradition by invading the house of JediJeff to eat his food, watch his TV, and leave severed chicken parts in his mailbox for the poor post office employee to find.

We had a good turn-out, as always, and everyone had a great time…until Jeff started showing the “Holiday Special” anyway. Seriously, folks, this should really only be used to induce vomiting. Don’t let that scare you away from coming out next year, though. We can’t say it any more plainly than this: if you don’t come out, you are missing out on a great time.

: Things start out harmlessly enough with “Thumb Wars”

: The Dark Lord of the Dip

: “X-Men 2” captures everyone’s attention

: Sithman shows his cinematic opus

: The serving area was buzzing with “Lord of the Rings” talk

: “Would you like a chicken foot, my pretty?”

: The now-traditional showing of Jeff’s butt

: Yeah! Look at us!

Well, the 2002 Chicago Force DVD/Christmas Party is in the past. We had almost 20 people show up, and everyone had a good time.

Somehow, we ended up not actually watching the Episode II movie. We did watch the Deleted Scenes and Humorous Outtakes, though. Other video fare included the tape from the 2002 Video Scavenger Hunt, clips from TV news programs around the time Episode II was released, and pretty much the entire movie X-Men. We also viewed “The Skywalkers”, which was a Fan Film made with the help of Chicago Force members Amber-Eyes and Brother Suess. It is a parody of the TV show “The Osbournes” using Anakin, Padme, Luke and Leia as the family. It was very funny, and recently won “Best Movie” at the 2002 FilmCon convention in Madison, Wisconsin.

Thanks go out to 501st troopers Louis, Darth Goat, Duffy, and Emily for coming down and hanging out with us. You fine folks are always welcome, and perk up any party you attend.

But who am I kidding, you don’t want to hear about that. You want pictures!
