     must people always laugh at their own jokes? it takes any humor out of what they were saying. now greg, i'm not saying you're a funny guy, because you're not. but don't laugh at your own jokes. arghh stuff like that is soo yodaish.

     I would tend to agree that minimally, the Green Lantern saga could be played well as a really decent franchise with loads of action figures and props. The Warner execx -- if this is true -- is really selling the property short. You could have Jack Black play the guy in a Yodaish sort of way as a trainer for Green Lantern with some humor inate in a potential absent minded eccentric character.

     "Until you finish. You have to live in the bottle house," continued the keen, yodaish one.

     sounds a bit Yodaish to me - it's easy to understand but not what I'd expect from a *native* speaker.

     That's it Chuckles? All you got tonight....a yodaish pooch with a flimsy mask? I am more than a little embarrassed that you hired and paid a detective on little 'ol me. That's just so kind of you. I'm really overwhelmed....a tear...really I teared up. It's just so gratifying....

     hmmmm.... now that there aren't quite as many words, you are right. Except about that Warth thing that Luc and TNorth pointed out... and what IS wrong with ghosts anyway? I also tried to speak in Yodaish, successfully, if I do say so myself...

     Oh brother.. What is your native language? Yodaish? they go to school and work hard, and you complain that they do well.
