Colby blows out the candles! Let the Star Wars party begin! Colby points out, “From 1983, notice my generic droid cake, Darth Vader candle and ROTJ Dixie cup treats.”

Happy Birthday, Colby! 🙂…

John is somewhat Vader…. Halloween

Groucho, the Wolfman, and “Somewhat Vader” meet in a living room somewhere in the late 70’s. There’s a joke there somewhere…
