So, I've had too much time on my hands. I'm a public school teacher. It's summer. The NFL's in a lockout. So you get something that has nothing to do with football. Several years ago this web site did a "What do you think we look like" thingy. As I recall it was actually how DaHamsta got his avatar. So I started thinking I'd do something like that with the contributing writers here at WCG. So when I got to Dane and Adam I kept coming back to the same image. I couldn't shake it and a theme began to develop. A Star Wars theme as it just so happens. So I cast myself as Luke and, well.... Just see what I came up with after the jump.

Ok, so hear me out. I stated I have waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much time on my hands. And there really isn't much news to discuss in the actual world of the Bears. So I've been bored. My mind works in mysterious ways and this was the direction it went. I cast myself as the protagonist Luke Skywalker and I've cast the contributing writers and some of the regulars around here as characters from the original Star Wars series. Plus I've decided to use their original names just to see if the faithful know who's who. Oh, and sorry about the image sizes, I'm terrible with formatting stuff and things. So let's start in no particular order....

1. Niquebears. He cares about his peeps. He's in the know. A friends friend. (sorta) He's obviously....

9&10. Geauxbears and Adam. Lastly we have the pair that inspired this entire ridiculous venture. Because one works from the shadows while the other clearly takes a clear hand in the goings on around here. Plus he's like a Dad to me.....

I know I probably left out some very deserving contributors (who are probably grateful for being left out) and I hope no one was offended. Again, waaay too much time on my hands, combined with an active imagination, and possibly mental illness and this is the result. Hope you enjoyed.
