Awesomely sweet fan filmed lightsaber fight

Got this one from my brother's blog. Guess his TV wasn't hooked up on Friday night so my nephew served up some links to his favorite online videos.

Ryan vs Dorkman lightsaber battle

Yeah, it's pretty dorky, but it's still well done and entertaining, particularly considering that these guys really didn't have any experience doing this other than a lot of movie watching and practice.

I think it's good enough that Lucas could have improved the lightsaber scenes in the more recent Star Wars eps 1, 2 and 3 by hiring these guys...and no I'm not being sarcastic. Then again George Lucas could have given us 6 hours of sock puppets and it would have been more rewarding than the mediocrity of film that we were presented with.

Moving sale: TV for sale

*Update* Someone has purchased the washer and dryer and taken them off my hands, so they are no longer available. *Update*

I'm moving from the current house we are renting in Beaverton to an apartment. Movers come on Saturday so I want to get rid of some stuff to lighten the load a bit.
