As it is Star Wars Day, I want to say, "May the Fourth Be With You  Always!"


In honor of today, i hope that you all ask Alexa, " Tell me a Star Wars Joke" 
They are generally worthy of the Dad Jokes thread. 

Enjoy the day and prepare for The Revenge of the Fifth!

Hello Clean & Everyone Else!
Happy 4th and may the fourth be with all of us!  Love these bonus holidays!  My favorite is in August - Sneak some Zucchini on to your neighbor's porch day.  By the way, has anyone already had an abundance of one crop in their spring/summer garden to share with neighbors yet?  June doughnut day is another good one - kind of balances out all of the healthy veggies ;)

May the Fourth be with you all!

New York City used to observe Brooklyn Queens Day on the first Thursday after Memorial Day. This used to be a legal holiday for schools until almost twenty years ago. I haven't seen this on calenders for several years now.

According to Wikipedia,
Quote
Brooklyn–Queens Day, also sometimes called Welcome Back to Brooklyn Day, Kids Day and Rally Day, was a public school holiday observed in the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens. In the New York City Department of Education's 2005 contract with the United Federation of Teachers the holiday became citywide, giving all school children the day off but requiring all city school teachers to participate in a professional development day.

Good reason to blast the Star Wars theme song!  John Williams, thanks for taking us on an incredible musical journey through the galaxy far, far away.

Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Reprove not a scorner, lest they hate thee: rebuke the wise, and they will love thee.

Give instruction to the wise, and they will be yet wiser: teach the just, and they will increase in learning.

Wahoo Redux

The fourth is strong with this one.
Come, fill the Cup, and in the fire of Spring
Your Winter-garment of Repentance fling:
The Bird of Time has but a little way
To flutter--and the Bird is on the Wing.

My first thought on seeing this was "But it's nowhere near Independence Day yet!"
And you will cry out on that day because of the king you have chosen for yourselves, and the Lord will not hear you on that day.
