Star Wars: The Force Awakens for those who have seen it

[quote="Animavore";p="2360801"]Another thing; they kept the beautiful island Luke is found on very quiet didn't they? I've lived here 37 years and thats the first I've seen of it.[/quote]

I'm going to book my holiday there for next year.

[Animavore]

Yeah, it's a great boom for the Irish tourist board.

Puffins out, hotels in ... that's what I say.

[Animavore]

Bring a bull toad.

.... are there really puffins there?

Google says yes. A shit load of them in fact.

I love puffins. My key chain is a puffin. I have puffin socks.

I have to go. I've never been in the UK and had any desire to pop in to Ireland. Now I do. Not Ireland in general (not that I have a particular aversion to the place - I've just never had a reason or particular desire to go) but those puffins, in particular.

I think they congregate on the side of the island away from the camera in the movie. I think it's sheer cliff.

[Animavore]

This is a great picture.

The trouble is now millions of people will want to go there and it won't be a beautiful island full of puffins any more.

[Rachel Bronwyn]

They are THE most adorable bird. They have such a dumb, friendly demeanor.

I need to find out when they're at Skellig Michael and see if I can visit the island for a day or two.

[Animavore]

Google says they're here from April to September; then they fuck off to Canada.

Puffins are adorable.
They exist down at the Maine coast, but I've still never seen one. Not that I go looking for them.

[Rachel Bronwyn]

It sounds like they're the same puffins I've seen in my own fair country. I've been duped.

[Animavore]

Illegal Irish immigrants.

[Rachel Bronwyn]

I hope they have work Visas.

If you're seeing them on the west coast, they're different species than the Atlantic Puffins.

I don't consider the puffins on my coast puffins at all. Atlantic puffins or bust.

There you go. Talking about boobies again.
