Subject: May The Fourth Be With You/Star Wars Avatar Contest WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

Written By: CatwomanofV on 04/30/20 at 1:40 pm

I wanted to have this for May The Fourth but I am a few days late. Oh well. But, we can start the voting on May the fourth if we have enough participants.

So, who's in?

Providing I find a decent avatar, i am in, but there may be a chance of a visit from my granddaughter and family, so my being online will be limited.

I have an idea, but I need to work out how to get the picture I want into my avatar

I would like to participate but the only Star Wars movie I watched was the first prequel, so I'm not too knowledgeable. What happened to Margaret Thatcher's inauguration date?

I haven’t watched the first prequel so don’t know what this comment refers to. Just wanted to say that in the U.K. prime ministers aren’t inaugurated like US Presidents are. We have a general election and the leader of the winning party becomes prime minister. They meet the queen who officially invites them to form a government and that is the formalities over.

You don't have to have seen all the movies. All you have to do is find a pic. (BTW, I haven't seen all the movies, either.)

You could always use something like this:

I don't have a pic yet, but I was thinking of a song and I've done a parody using the OS.

still see about finding a picture.  The song I'm trying to hear is Don't Look Back.  Besides knowing that there is some lousy quality things in Youtube,  I can't hear instruments as well as I use to.  Okay Ann get a picture idea.

The only song I know with that title is by the fine young cannibals. First tape I ever bought.

I’m not a Star Wars fan so maybe I can come up with something unconventional.

I've seen the first few movies, but not the newer stuff.  I've also seen a movie with Rick Marinas saying I cant breathe in this thing    ( Darth  helmet)

One of my best friends is a BIG sci-fi fan and has been to many conventions. She told me that one time she went to one and David Prowse (Darth Vader) was there and sang a song to the Star Wars' theme:

Star Wars made me a fortune
Paid off the mortgage
Bought me a car.


My friend & I ALWAYS sing that and we get looks from people around us.

As I was offline for the last four days, I was unable to contribute to these contest, I will cast my vote, and display here the only image/photo I could find, but I think will be to big or the wrong shape for an avatar.
