I love Tesco's response in the Guardian.
And yet again, I love the Brits. They have such a higher tolerance for harmless oddity in their lives.
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Tesco's response, for those who haven't seen it:
Tesco said: "He hasn't been banned. Jedis are very welcome to shop in our stores although we would ask them to remove their hoods.
"Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Luke Skywalker all appeared hoodless without ever going over to the Dark Side and we are only aware of the Emperor as one who never removed his hood.
"If Jedi walk around our stores with their hoods on, they'll miss lots of special offers."

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Happy Birthday, Smonster!!!
Seska, I'm sorry for your loss.
{{{GC}}} I hope you find some relief for the back pain.

"If Jedi walk around our stores with their hoods on, they'll miss lots of special offers."
Heh.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Haaaa. That is an awesome response.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Luke Skywalker all appeared hoodless without ever going over to the Dark Side and we are only aware of the Emperor as one who never removed his hood.
I like this subtle dig at the Jedi guy.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
The special offer comment is just awesome.

That's a thing of beauty.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
NoiseDesign, spaceships: do you have Andromeda Ascendant ?
Happy birthday, smonster!
sad for the loss of your little hamster, Seska, but wow. 4 years old. He's the Methuselah of hamsters.
Tesco's response on the Jedi thing was perfection.
Fred, glad to hear Rigatoni's kidney is back in play. Sending more kitty~ma for recovery.
