Ahh... Sundays. I love Sundays.
Why? Because I have every excuse _not_ to go outside. I mean it's the day of rest, right? So I can sit inside all day in front of my computer creating sound effects and not feel guilty.
In fact, I can't remember the last Sunday I actually ventured into 'The Outside' *shudder*...

"Hi mate - hey have you got steel balls?"

The speederbike, I can do.
The blasters, I can do.
The Tie's.. #$%!^&!!
You'd think it would all kind of come together given the right ingredients, wouldn't you?
Elephants bellows - check
Jet fly.....
