Out of this world Yoda's syntax always has been. Describes how the words YODA has become a synonym for teacher, mentor, and all-around wise person. Mention of Spike's line to Angel in SCHOOL HARD.

Oh jeez.
My summer school class is made up of multilingual/multicultural language teachers. I just emailed the link to everybody.

Funny this is. Always gotten a kick from the little green guy's unique way of putting things, I have :)

"Do or do not -- there is no try" was always one of my favorite Yodaisms, and certainly gave me much food for thought as a teenager. It seems cut 'n' dry to me now, and a little strict, but then that was Yoda. Eminently confident and concise to a fault.

(Imagine a conversation between him and Oz. Who'd out-laconic who in that matchup?)

Yeah, classic character.

Except nowadays he's swindling people out of their pepsis. I was more than a little sad at seeing that one...

Yes, Ed! And Darth Vader hawking M&Ms?

Kinda undercuts the "ominous figure" rep, doesn't it? I don't think I've ever seen quite this level of cheese in the marketing for SW. This is the worst.
