Derzu Uzala is more accurate.

The tauntaun scene was based on this Kurosawa film, where the title character had built a shelter before darkness fell with a surveyor's tripod and water reeds he had cut from the frozen lake they were stranded on.

I miss snow. I've got a WRX with brand new snow tires and I've only driven it in slush. Maybe twice. Just feels wrong.

super ultra geeky is having a user name that is a star wars reference nobody gets
"But I was going into TOSHI station to pick up some power converters!"
My great-grandparents must have been prophetic when they named my grandfather Toshihiro in 1916… :rofl:

Super ultra geeky is knowing that.

Super ultra dorky is knowing that and pointing it out, but being wrong.

Finally stopped. Theres about 14 inches of snow in the street. Record snowfall today.

The title of this thread is what one of the jr designers at my office sent me via text... I thought it was pretty funny.

He said... "My tuntaun didn't reach the first marker" which was basically nerd speak for, "I'm not coming into work today".
