Training soundtrack
–EDIT 10:40 PM 1.1.12 – Site has been cleaned of viruses and is now safe. Sorry for the inconvenience. Great start to 2012, right?–
Sorry for the delay, but in the end it worked out best for us to hold this one back for the first week of 2012 to give ourselves more time. That way we have the whole of January covered with our new one strip per week schedule. I have spine surgery scheduled for January 9th. Anterior cervical discectomy which will eventually (hopefully) cure or lessen my severe neck pain which is frequently effecting my ability to use my hands–and therefore my ability to do anything at all! Anyway, I hope you enjoy this coming month’s Blue Milk Special.
And, if you are German, you can enjoy Blue Milk Special in your own language as we add a third translation to our growing list of multilingual adaptations. A special thank you to the crew of Jedipedia, particularly Michael, for embracing the project. Jedipedia is a wonderful repository of Star Wars information for our Germanic-tongued cousins, with volumes of articles and information to lose oneself in for days.
I have to say I think Jedipedia does a far superior job to the bloated and poorly organized Wookieepedia. One perfect example is the entry on Palpatine. Where Wookieepedia has a monstrous 120+ page mess (enough to inspire this very joke by BMS), Jedipedia is far more succinct and structured. Let me make this perfectly clear. 120 pages of text. Just about Palpatine. That’s the sort of out of control monster that is Wookieepeida. Thank you Jedipedia for existing. Your Palpatine article is 25 pages. Yes. I have too much time on my hands. Well, not really. I just grossly misuse my time. I sometimes wonder if people can actually comprehend what I’m telling them when I say that Wookieepedia has a 120+
Again, thank you Jedipedia for the translations. And thank you for sharing BMS in Deutsch!
And there’s always Google Translate for those of you interested in exploring the site, which happens to have a large picture gallery for all aspects of the Star Wars universe.
Free as a bird now am I, and chain this bird you can not!
Happy New Year all, and many more.
Here’s to a speedy recovery Rod!
A weapon! I new there had to be reason to wear that ridiculous tache..
Happy New Year, congrats on your continued world domination, and best wishes for the upcoming surgery. Get fit soon, boss.
Happy New Year, Rod & Leane! May your health get nothing but better, and all else may follow.
I’m wondering what else Luke has on his Ipod, and the thought scares me a little.
I have it on good authority that he has ‘What do you get a wookiee for xmas (when he already has a comb)?’ and ‘You may have the flanks of a dewback, but I’d gartle your kwarks any day’ on repeat.
Ride my rancor, Neil. 😛
Can’t you just picture BMS Yoda getting down to a certain 1977 disco tune from Meco?
Didn’t we all, Sarge?
Some of Luke’s songlist: Welcome to the Jungle, Feliz Forcidad, Grandma Got Run Over by a Ronto, Blue Milk Blues, Mr. Roboto, Golden Man, Dark Side of the Force, ‘Saber Fighting, Stranglehold, King Hutt, Master of Puppets, Hyperspace, Rebel Rebel, Revolution Calling, (Oh) Pretty Woman, Why Can’t This Be Love?, Leia, Love Stinks, 867-5309 Jenny
Yeah, Roth era Van Halen’s “(Oh) Pretty woman”!
Happy New Year! I’m glad to see BMS in Deutsch. In fact, Jedipedia seems pretty good, way more than for example the Spanish Star Wars Wiki. Sure they will do a good job with the translation.
this site has a virus!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, it does seem like that is a possibility. Shit…
Happy New Year, Leanne and Rod!
Thanks for the blog entry and the kind words, we really do appreciate them! Keep up the great work! 😀
This is my first comment here but I have been reading this webcomic for several months now. Rod and Leanne, I want to thank you for all the hard work you put on it. I really like the art, the jokes and the way you affectionately parody Star Wars. I also like the way you “BMS-ise” the characters (Leia with her cigarettes, Vader, Biggs… and now Yoda), it is well done and adds and extra flavour to the story and the humour.
Rod, I hope you will quickly recover from your surgery. In any way, regarding the future of BMS, do as you feel more comfortable, I won’t ever complain. So far it has been amazing, and although I hope you will keep the motivation to continue, I would perfectly understand it if it becomes too much of a bother for you. Your health and well-being in your lives are priorities.
Thank you again for the weekly SW-related laugh!
I wish you a Happy New Year and May the Forciness be with you!
Greetings from France (and sorry for my bad English)! ;D
Thank you very much! And your English is great! 🙂
Your avatar is hilarious. <3
Hey no virus pop up alert today! Here, or on the Facebook page.
I was about to suggest that the virus might have attached to some images on both sites.
Rod, best of luck with the surgery. It’s major, but my physio tells me that recovery from neurosurgery is no easy process either.
John
yoda singing dio is an awesome thought
So are you guys only going through the end of RotJ, or all the way through RotS? I would love to see you guys make total fun of Jar Jar. He’s the worst character in my opinion. I mean he really helped Palpatino rise to power, and it’s his fault for giving him the extra “emergency” powers.
Okay, I know “Palpatino” was a typo, but that’s an awesome name for him. I mayself have before called him Palps, or EmPal (which is actually a hospital) but Palpatino has to be one of the best names yet, in my opine. 😀
Love the name Palps!
Also Mrs. hannah, I love your (gr)avatar (is that correct?), it gives of a whole “wooah! Don’t mess with the Green Guy!” kind of aura. no, really 😀
“I’m looking for a great Jedi Mobster”
“Hmpf. Gang wars, makes no one great”
Thanks! 🙂
Hey, nice to see you commenting on BMS! I can’t say that I’ve seen that before. Glad you like my little nickname. Feel free to use it. I would be honored. 😉
Yeah, I normally just lurk around here and Rod does all the mingling. But I will try to stop in from time to time 🙂
I’m not swinging across any tractor bean shafts with you – even with those cheek-dimples.
Hah, that made me remember a name for him my little sister made up when we were much much younger: Darth Hideous, a pun on Palp’s PT/EU/Sith Lord name, Darth Sidious :3
Haha I had a similar thing like that. I had a little jingle:
♪”Darth Sidiouuuus, He’s Hideouuuuuus”♫
😀
Happy New Year and here’s to a speedy recovery! Loving the Yoda strips. 🙂
Good luck with the surgery!
I also thought of that, since My jedi knight chracter in SW: ToR is 90% identical to TESB Luke/car-crash Mark Hamil (for some strange reason I’m always drawn to the scars he got under his eyes, and there’s an almost identical scar in the customixation menu in-game), and when/if i get him a little more leveled-up, could I email you a screenshot of his face which you could upload to the site? I’d like to show it to the readers and get their feedback, and i don’t have my own site or anything to upload a screenie on. If it’s alright with you, of course.
You could set up an account with fliker or photobucket to upload and share links to your images. IF that doesn’t work then you can email it to me. But try either of those first.
Hi Mr.Al. I did that too. As a kid, I went back over my SW own comic when I found out about the scars, and added them in. Made absolutely no sense of course as it was the original SW!
*gasp* okay, finished my archive crawl and am up to date.
… Rats. I’m up to date. Anyway, this is an awesome webcomic and you guys rock. Keep it up.
P.S. I am also from NZ.
P.P.S. My name is also Rod.
P.P.P.S. This has in no way biased me towards your comic of awesomeness. Honest.
Love the use of enter sandman, mixing two of my favorite things star wars and metallica . Good luck on the upcoming surgery.
Bubba The Hutt, great handle! Leanne, nice to see you mingling. Rod, you’re still pretty ok yourself! All the best for a speedy recovery!
The hours approaching, just give it your best
You’ve got to reach your prime.
That’s when you need to put yourself to the test,
And show us a passage of time,
We’re gonna need a montage (montage)
Oh it takes a montage (montage!)
Best wishes for the surgery tomorrow and follow the doctor’s instructions for recovery!!!! you are not Superman nor do you have jedi healing 😉
Thanks, John. Surgey is first thing Monday morning. There will be one more update and blog post on Monday before my surgery.
I think Rod looks a LITTLE bit like Dean Kane but that’s just me. 😛
Still. Listen to John–looking like Superman doesen’t mean you are him.
Best of luck for Monday!
You will be in our prayers.
Except possibly for Elijah, he still confuses you with John White, so he may be praying for him instead (but I’m sure he means well). 😉
I say we start a collection to try and get Frank Oz to do an album covering black sabbath as yoda it could be called “Oz on Ozzy” (i’m not kidding here some one start a kickstart for it)
