I went to work with three of my coworkers today and mentioned something about a "Jedi mind trick." Noticing the empty stares and sudden silence, I asked if any of them had seen Star Wars

Wow, that's shocking. Star Wars is a part of our culture! Required viewing, if you ask me. In fact, we use the term 'jedi mind trick' in our house quite often. lol!

Thank you!! Needing some validation here.

I am sure not pulling out any Buffy references at work anytime soon, a.k.a., not getting all reference-y... ;)

I think you should buy a lotto ticket.

Though it is Friday the 13th, so maybe you temporarily entered another dimension?

[bendyourknees]

Hey, that's not a bad idea!

[halfgk]

Wow. Just. Freaking. Wow.

[bendyourknees]

Right there with you...

[clafount]

Even not seeing the movies doesn't excuse not knowing the phrase "Jedi Mind Trick"...pop cultural literacy anyone?!

[bendyourknees]

Oh, agreed. The blank stares were quite disconcerting.

[reannon]

This will make you feel better.

OMG is that a funny video!

It is quite remarkable that you can find 3 people in this country that have totally missed that part of our culture. I would hope that they would see it at some point now. Someone might have to loan them a copy and/or force them to watch under threat of bodily harm.

[bendyourknees]

The idea of force had occurred to me, but one might not appreciate the genius of George Lucas's creation under threat.

Why am I sensing some deep truth in Darth Vader dancing to Michael Jackson??
