It has been announced that the Jedi Training Academy that they roll out during Star Wars weekends at the Disney-MGM Studios is going to be a permanent addition to the park.  Now kids will get to test their skill with a lightsaber against Darth Vader everyday.  I am all for more Star Wars at the parks.  They put up a temporary stage for the event.  I am wondering if they are going to use the same area for the permanent stage or if they are going to change the exterior like when they turned Endor Vendors into Tatooine Traders. 

I have no problems if you want to own an exotic pet.  I have a big problem with people releasing them once the snake outgrows the owners ability or desire to take care of it.  If you buy a python or boa constrictor you know you are buying a snake that is going to grow.  A 14 foot snake that is released has to eat something.  That something in all liklihood will be neighborhood dogs, cats and whetever else it can get it coils around.  The Everglades is having problems with pythons reproducing in the swamp and competing with indigenous species and there is not a whole lot out there that is going to prey on a giant snake.  Today in Central Florida they found a 14 foot python in someones back yard.   While I loved watching Mitch unleash the fury on Tom Green in Road Trip it is my opinion that no one needs a python or a boa constrictor as a pet. If people want to see them they can go to zoos and animal exhibits.  The only good news from this is that there is some great footage of the snake being removed and there is probably a 911 tape out there that goes like this-

911 Operator: “Hello, 911.  What is the nature of your emergency.”

Man:  “There is a motherf***** snake in my motherf***** backyard.”

911 Operator:  “Sir, please calm down I didn’t catch that.”

Man:  “Woman, I said there is a motherf***** snake in my motherf***** backyard!”

I was driving over to my friends house and saw the General Lee drive by.  I have seen it a few times before.  Someone went through a lot of time and presumably money to recreate this car.  Whoever you are, well done.
