Hearing Hello It's Me -- Todd Rundgren

That Darn Dark Side!

Oh, no! Athena's been corrupted by the Sith lords and is wreaking havoc on the poor, unsuspecting pets! Now, in my defense, I did keep that lightsaber locked up. But you know kids: once they go over to the dark side, you can't keep them out of anything. Things like this are why we have medical droids on call 24/7.

Back here in the real world, if you're wondering how you can create your own lightsabers in your own pictures -- and you have Photoshop -- here's a tutorial. I'll note that I do mine in a slightly different fashion, but the other guy's way will probably give you a more "realistic" version. Have fun with it.

Well if I could only find a copy of photoshop and have a few spare hours I might be able to give Phishh a light saber! That would add an interesting twist to the story. Not to worry about Athena The Force is strong with her and resistance to the Dark Side is NOT futile. (What do you mean I'm mixing my sci-fi universes? Not the first one methinks).
