If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
You should NEVER have a Klingon wedding. Nor should you (like an old friend of mine did) name your kids after Star Wars characters (Anakin and I forgot his daughter's name).

Jake Ortman said on 04/18/04 @ 12:29 PM: Why yes it is. Know the guy? I ran high-school track and cross country with him. Cool guy, but damn wacky when it came to Star Wars. I'd really like to know what his wife thought about it.

Brad said on 04/18/04 @ 06:44 PM: I ran track with him in high school too. He was a few years behind me, but we used to hang out. He used to live like 10 blocks from me. I also used to work with him. Anyway, so you went to Mtn View too, huh? So did Chris (monkey boy).
Jake Ortman said on 04/18/04 @ 09:14 PM: Yup. Graduated in 1996. He was class of '94, if I remember correctly. Fun guy, but was always mad at me because I could outrun him :)
David said on 04/19/04 @ 10:22 AM: Hey, I knew Brady. Camped out for episode 1 with him years ago. I thought he only managed to get his kids middle names, but it has been a while so I could be mistaken.
Brady Hickman said on 01/31/05 @ 02:21 PM: Hey I know that guy too. It's me!!! Someone told me to google myself and I was given a link to this site. The comments are almost a year old, but if you want to get in touch with me my address is: Vadersdad@bendcable.com
My son's middle name is Anakin and my daughters middle name is Jayna (from the books, spelled a little different).
Dave, you camping for episode III?
Jake said on 01/31/05 @ 02:24 PM: HAHA...I love the Internet. Welcome, Brady! Tell your family "Hi" for me.
Brady said on 02/03/05 @ 08:51 PM: Will do!
I did not think anyone would have checked this old link.
Jake said on 02/03/05 @ 11:11 PM: I get notified on all comments to my site, so I wouldn't miss this.
