  Re: A good use for Jar Jar figs.
 
(...) hey, y'all ~ LOTF is one of my faves! mostly because of the connection i find in it to my all-time favourite book. the LOTF characters remind me of the lost boys in peter pan! both books explore the the angst, isolation, and frustration of (...)

What do you mean by abstract.. For flat out beer and pretzels, it's tough to (...) (26 years ago, 15-Apr-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
